Exterior 400 Image Projector is supplied without filters and gobos. A range of dichroic color filters and gobos for the Exterior 400 Image Projector is available from Martin and can be ordered separately. If you wish to use custom-made optical components, please consult your Martin supplier. Custom-made components must meet the same specifications as Martin items, or their use will invalidate the product warranty. -
Page 8: Access To The Effects Module
Each connector has a different number of pins, so it is impossible to get them mixed up. Disconnect the multi-connectors, then lift the effects module out of the fixture and place the module gently on a clean, flat surface. You can now install color filters and rotating gobos.

Page 9: Installing Color Filters
Installing color filters To install a filter in the Exterior 400 Image Projector effects module: 1. See Figure 2. Refer to the diagram for filter position numbers. The color wheel is shown from the rear (the side facing the back of the effects module, away from the front cover). It will help you identify filter positions if you note the position of the small magnet A on the color wheel opposite the open slot. -
Page 10: Installing Gobos
Most gobos must be installed facing in a certain direction in order to avoid heat damage. Follow the gobo orientation guidelines given in Figure 3. Consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier if you are in any doubt about the orientation of a specific gobo type. - Page 11 *Gobos shown installed in the gobo wheel are examples only – filters and gobos must be ordered separately. Figure 4: Installing a gobo To install a rotating gobo in the Exterior 400 Image Projector effects module: 1. See Figure 4. Refer to the diagram for gobo position numbers. The gobo wheel is shown from the front (the side facing the front of the effects module, towards the front cover).

100-240 V nominal, 50 or 60 Hz. Do not connect to power at any other voltage or frequency. Power is applied to the Exterior 400 Image Projector as soon as it is connected to power. Provide a means to disconnect from power or shut down power to fixtures that is easily accessible and is located close to the fixtures. - Page 17 4. Check that cable connection enclosures are sealed, check that all installation work is completed, and carry out appropriate tests and safety checks before applying power.

Page 18: Control Data Link
Control data link Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures must be connected via a control data link for DMX controller or synchronized (master/slave) operation.The following considerations must be taken into account when planning the data link: • RS-485 data cable designed for exterior use is required for outdoor installations. RS-485 cable has low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 Ohms. -
Page 19: Connecting The Data Link
Warning! If the supplied power cable is unsuitable for any reason, contact your Martin supplier for replacement. Exterior 400 Image Projector power and data cables may be installed or replaced only by Martin or its authorized service agents. -

2. Connect the DABS 1 to your PC using the supplied USB cable. 3. Connect the DABS 1’s XLR output to the Exterior 400 Image Projector via the data link. Note that you may only connect to one fixture at a time. - Page 22 Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures use nine DMX channels. If a fixture’s DMX address is set to 1, it will use channels 1 - 9. Channel 10 will be available as the DMX address for the next fixture, which can use channels 10 - 18, and so on.
- Page 23 Setting DMX Addresses To set a DMX address using MUM, click on the Fixture settings button and use the DMX Address spin buttons to set the fixture’s DMX address. The DMX address will be updated in the fixture in real time. Figure 12: Fixture settings window DMX reset Three settings are available in DMX Reset:...

DMX addresses of all the fixtures on the link, carry out basic configuration and retrieve basic fixture data. To use Martin M-PC, connect a PC running this application to the data link via the Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX interface box. Before you can communicate with fixtures, you will need to send a Scan command from M-PC to detect the devices on the data link. -
Page 25: Operation
Operation Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures can be operated using a DMX controller or programmed to run a stand-alone light show that does not require DMX control. If a fixture has been set up to run stand-alone operation, it will follow its program according to its programmed times as soon as powered is applied, unless it receives DMX commands. - Page 26 First, the fixture needs to be configured to know if and when to activate a stand-alone program. Connect a PC running the Martin MUM™ application as described in "Connecting a PC with MUM" on page 21, and click on the Stand-alone settings button (see Figure 14).
- Page 27 Programming stand-alone operation About scenes A stand-alone light show consists of scenes. Each scene is a particular lighting effect with predetermined color, intensity and duration. Up to 100 scenes can be programmed into the Exterior 400 Image Projector’s program memory. Each scene has a dynamic part –...

ESD (electrostatic discharge). Take precautions to avoid ESD damage during service. It is Martin policy to use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, optical components in all lighting fixtures are subject to wear and tear over the life of the fixture, resulting in gradual changes in color rendition, for example. -
