Control Panel Operations - Martin MAC Viper Performance User Manual

Control panel operations

You can configure individual fixture settings (such as the MAC Viper Performance's DMX address), read out
data, execute service operations and view error messages using the fixture's backlit graphic display and
control panel.
When the MAC Viper Performance is powered on, it first boots and resets, then it displays its DMX address
(or its fixture ID number, if one has been set) and any status messages (see page 30) in the display A.
The display can be set to automatically rotate to match standing or hanging fixture orientation in the
PERSONALITY → DISPLAY menu or the Shortcuts menu (see "Shortcuts" on page 11).
Using the control panel
• Click (i.e. press in towards the fixture base once) the jog wheel B to access the menus.
• Rotate the jog wheel to scroll up and down menus.
• Click the jog wheel to enter a menu or make a selection.
• The currently selected item in a menu is indicated by a star
• Press the Escape button C to step backwards through the menus.
Status LED
An LED D next to the jog wheel indicates fixture status depending on the color displayed and DMX status
depending on whether the LED flashes or lights constantly:
• GREEN: All parameters normal.
• AMBER: Warning (service interval exceeded, for example).
If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the warning message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is
set to Silent, the display must be activated with the jog wheel to display the warning message.
• RED: Error detected.
If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the error message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is set
to Silent, the display must be activated with the jog wheel to display the error message.
• FLASHING: No DMX signal detected.
• CONSTANT: Valid DMX signal detected.
If an error has been detected and the LED is red when the fixture is powered off, the LED will continue to
flash red slowly. This feature allows easy identification of fixtures that require service intervention even if
fixtures are disconnected from power.
Battery power
The display and control panel are powered by the MAC Viper Performance's onboard battery. This gives
access to the most important functions in the control panel – including DMX addressing – when the fixture is
not connected to AC power.
