Routine Maintenance - Martin Professional MAC 2000 Performance II User Manual

OUTINE MAINTENANCE
Warning! Disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool before removing any cover.
Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particulate buildup degrades performance and causes
overheating and damage to the fixture that is not covered by the warranty.
The MAC 2000 Performance II requires routine cleaning. To maximize the life of the product and protect the
investment it represents, clean the fixture regularly – especially the cooling systems. It is essential to follow the
guidelines given later in this section.
Refer any service operation that is not described here to a qualified Martin technician.
It is Martin policy to use the best-quality materials and coatings 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 of dichroic filters or the specular properties
of reflectors, for example.
The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions, maintenance and environment, so it is impossible
to specify precise lifetimes for optical components. However, you will eventually need to replace optical components if
their characteristics are affected by wear and tear after an extended period of use and if you require fixtures to perform
within very precise optical and color parameters.
Lamp
The MAC 2000 Performance II is supplied with a Philips MSR
1200 SA/DE GOLD 1200 W discharge lamp installed. This
source has a color temperature of 6000 K, a color rendering index
greater than 85, and an average life of 750 hours.
The lamp is capable of hot restrike. This feature, however, is only
supported by the MAC 2000 Performance II with electronic
ballast.
The ends of the lamp are profiled with special keys, as shown in
Figure 11, to ensure proper installation. Do not use lamps with
keys in a non-keyed SFc 10-4 socket.
Warning! Install only an approved lamp (see "Source" on
page 54). Installing any other lamp may create a
safety hazard or damage the fixture!
The lamp should be replaced when it has reached the limit of its
750 hour average life. To reduce the risk of explosion, never
exceed 125% of the lamp's average life, i.e. 940 hours. To read
lamp hours from the control panel, please refer to "Readouts" on
page 13.
For optimum performance, avoid turning off the lamp before it
has warmed up fully.
