    Introduction Thank you for selecting the Martin MAC 575 Krypton™. This moving-head spotlight features: • 575 watt short-arc high-output discharge lamp • full-range mechanical dimmer/shutter • two color wheels with a total of 16 color filters including two color temperature correction filters •...

  • Page 8: Ac Power

    Configuring the ballast for AC power The MAC 575 Krypton can be connected to 200-240 V nominal AC mains power at 50 or 60 Hz. The fixture’s power supply unit automatically adapts to voltage and frequency within these ranges. However, wiring to the magnetic ballast must be configured manually to match local power.

  • Page 9: Lamp

    Lamp About the discharge lamp The MAC 575 Krypton is designed for use with the GE CSR 575/S/DE/70 lamp. This highly efficient double-ended short-arc discharge lamp provides a color temperature of 7000 K, a color rendering index greater than 85, and an average lifetime of 750 hours.
  • Page 10 Align the lamp carefully. An excessive hot-spot will damage optical components. 1. Apply power and allow the MAC 575 Krypton to reset. Using either a controller or the control menu, strike the lamp and project an open white beam on a flat surface.

  • Page 11: Dmx Data Link

    Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC 575 Krypton has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5.

  • Page 12: Rigging

    Rigging The MAC 575 Krypton can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation using the clamp bracket mounting points shown in Figure 7. Figure 7: Clamp bracket positions and safety wire attachment point Warning!Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. The fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.

  • Page 17: Effects

    Effects This section describes the effects that can be controlled via DMX in the MAC 575 Krypton. The MAC 575 Krypton has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit basic and 16-bit extended. The extended mode requires six more DMX channels than the basic mode and provides all features of the basic mode plus fine control of the dimmer, both color wheels, iris, focus and zoom.

  • Page 18: Rotating Gobos

    T r a c k i n g v e r s u s v e c t o r c o n t r o l Important! Effect movement may be rough and unpredictable if controller fade times are combined with vector speed values. The speed channels provide two methods for controlling speed that are known as “tracking” and “vector”. MAC 575 Krypton...
  • Page 19 With tracking control, the speed at which effects move is determined by a cross-fade time programmed on the controller. With this method, the controller divides a movement into tiny steps that the fixture “tracks”. Tracking control is enabled via the speed channel for the effect concerned. With vector control, speed is set with a DMX value on the speed channel.

  • Page 20: Optical Configuration

    The MAC 575 Krypton features two color wheels, each with 8 interchangeable dichroic color filters and an open position. As standard the MAC 575 Krypton is supplied with 15 color filters and a CTC (color temperature control) filter installed. The illustration shows the filter positions as seen from the lamp side.

  • Page 21: Gobos

    C u s t o m g o b o s Martin can provide many additional gobos for the MAC 575 Krypton. Gobos are interchangeable between MAC 500, MAC 550, MAC 575 and MAC 700 fixtures. For more information, please visit the Martin website at www.martin.com.
  • Page 22 Focus is easiest to maintain if all coated gobos in a fixture are installed with their coatings as close as possible to the same plane of focus. The coated gobos in the MAC 575 Krypton are factory-installed in this position. However, if there is an unusually high risk of heat damage on a custom coated gobo, the first priority is normally to ensure that more reflective sides face towards the lamp.
  • Page 23 To repl ace rotating gobos Important! The gobo can fall out if the spring is inserted backwards. 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2. Position the head upside down and remove the bottom head cover. Turn the gobo wheel to the desired position. Grasp the holder by the teeth and pull the holder lightly towards the front lens to release the holder and remove it from the wheel.

  • Page 24: Service And Maintenance

    To maximize the life of the MAC 575 Krypton and protect the investment it represents, clean the fixture regularly – especially the cooling systems – following the guidelines in this section.
  • Page 25 3. Remove the front lens by twisting one quarter-turn counter-clockwise. Figure 14: Releasing top and bottom covers and removing front lens 4. Position the head top side up so that you have access through the top. Holding the zoom lens by its base, slide it out it to its limit at the front of the fixture as shown in Figure 15.

  • Page 26: Cleaning

    Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC 575 Krypton. Cooling fans suck in airborne dust and smoke particles, and in extreme cases fixtures may require cleaning after surprisingly few hours of operation.

  • Page 27: Lubrication

    DANGER! Disconnect from power before opening covers. Replace fuses with ones of the same type and rating only. Never bypass or bridge a fuse. The MAC 575 Krypton is protected by a 10 amp slow blow main fuse located in a fuseholder next to the power input connector on the connections plate.
