• Never stick filters, masks or other materials onto any lens or other optical component. • Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin parts. • Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
The MAC 2000 Wash XB is supplied with a Fresnel lens that gives a medium beam angle installed. A PC lens that gives a narrow angle and a super wide lens that gives a very wide angle are also supplied with the fixture.
Important! Release the transport locks before operating the fixture. Included items The MAC 2000 Wash XB is shipped in a cardboard box or in a 1 or 2 unit flight case that contains the following items. • This user manual •...
Double flight case Unpacking 1 Open the flight case and pull the drawer all the way out. 2 Release the head (tilt) transport lock. 3 Install rigging hardware as described on page 12. 4 With one person on each side, lift the fixture out of the flight case.
Power supply The MAC 2000 Wash XB can be operated on 200 - 240 V nominal AC power. It has an auto-ranging power supply that adjusts automatically to match AC voltage within this range and to match 50 or 60 Hz power.
24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft). Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs. • Never use both outputs to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier.
Rigging The MAC 2000 Wash XB can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation. The Fast-Lock system enables quick and easy fastening of the clamp brackets in 4 positions as shown Figure 4. Figure 4: Clamp bracket positions Warning! Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture.

Effects The MAC 2000 Wash XB is compatible with USITT DMX-512 controllers. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 8-bit and 16-bit. The 16-bit mode requires two more DMX channels than 8-bit mode but provides more precise pan/tilt positioning. All other functions are identical. See “DMX protocol” on page 30.
Inside the head of the fixture, three additional aperture rings are secured to the chassis by a thumbscrew. When using the PC lens, the best beam characteristic is achieved by attaching the 45 mm aperture ring. For instructions on changing the aperture ring see “Changing the aperture ring” on page 22. MAC 2000 Wash XB...
Pan and tilt The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 267°. For maximum positioning accuracy, select 16-bit mode. The pan/tilt speed (fast, norm, or slow) may be selected on the pan/tilt speed channel. Setting the pan/tilt speed channel to “blackout” causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving. Speed control There are two ways to control the speed at which effects move from one static position to another.

Changing color filters Additional color filters can be ordered from Martin. To ensure the best performance, lenses must be fitted with the coated surface away from the lamp. To change a color filter: 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool.
Changing the front lens The MAC 2000 Wash XB has a Fresnel lens fitted as standard. A PC lens and a super wide-angle lens are also supplied with the fixture, and a micro-Fresnel lens is available as an accessory (P/N 91610092). Front lenses consist of a front module that attaches to the front of the head with quarter-turn fasteners.
To change an aperture ring: 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2 Lock the head horizontally with the top cover up. 3 Remove the top cover of the fixture using a flathead screwdriver to unlock the four quarter-turn screws. 4 The additional aperture rings can be found secured to the chassis with a thumb screw just behind the front lens (see the following illustration).

The dimmer wheel will be automatically detected when the MAC 2000 Wash XB is powered on and/or reset. When the dimmer wheel is installed, the DMX channel 2 (Intensity) must be maintained at 100%.
To maximize the life of the MAC 2000 Wash XB and protect the investment it represents, clean the fixture regularly – especially the cooling systems – following the guidelines in this section.
The lamp must be replaced with an Osram HTI 1500 W/D7/60 SharXS lamp (available from your Martin dealer under P/N 97010322). The clear quartz bulb must be clean and free of any oils from your fingers.
Replacing the lamp socket The lamp holder used in the MAC 2000 Wash XB eventually wears out due to the high voltages that pass through the contacts. Service life will vary, but as a rule you should plan to replace the holder every 4000 hours approximately.
Besides one of the hardware devices listed above, the Martin Software Uploader program, version 5.5 or later, is required. The Software Uploader program is supplied with the MUM and LightJockey programs, as well as with DABS1 hardware devices. It is also available for download from the Support area of the Martin website at http://www.martin.com.

Setting the boot sector jumper 1 Disconnect the fixture from power. 2 Remove the top screws from the ends of the front side panel and tilt the panel down to expose the main circuit board. 3 Using the diagram in “Circuit board connections” on page 46 or the label inside the base, locate the BOOT jumper (PL16).
