Color wheel

The MAC 700 Profile features a color wheel with 8 interchangeable dichroic color filters and an open
position. The illustration shows the filter positions as seen from the lens. Refer to the DMX protocol for filter
colors.
To replace a color filter
Note: Wear cotton gloves while handling color filters and use
only genuine Martin filters.
1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to
cool.
2. Lock the head in the upside-down position (the indication
TOP on the back of the head must be upside down) and
remove the bottom cover.
3. For best access, align the rotating gobo wheel so that
the open position is above the color filter to be replaced
(see arrow in Figure 8).
4. Turn the color wheel to access the desired filter position.
Press the filter forwards slightly to release it and then
grasp it by the edges and remove. If your fingers are too
large, protect the glass with a piece of paper that has
been folded several times and grasp the filter with
needle nose pliers.
5. To insert a filter, slide it under the retention spring until it
snaps into place.
6. Replace the cover and unlock the head before applying power.
