  • Page 9: Ac Power

    Although the lamp can be supplied with power using an external dimming system if required, the main power input of the MAC TW1 must be connected directly to AC power. Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture via the main power input, or you may obtain irregular light output and cause damage the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.

    See “Dimming options and lamp voltage” on page 12 for full details. About the halogen lamp The MAC TW1 is designed for use with the following 1200 watt tungsten-halogen lamps: • Philips Hi-Brite 1200/80 FastFit: 80 V (P/N 97000006) •...

  • Page 12: Dimming

    Three dimming options are available for the MAC TW1. Regardless of which option is used, the voltage rating of the lamp must match the voltage supplied by the dimming device or system (see also Figure 4): •...
  • Page 13: Connecting An External Dimmer System

    The external dimming power cable must be fitted with a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA cable connector for connection to the MAC TW1. If the dimming cable does not already have this type of connector, it can be obtained from your Martin supplier (P/N 05342804). The pinout is marked on the connector. Connect the terminal marked to ground (earth), the terminal marked N to neutral, and the terminal marked L to live.
  • Page 14: Dmx Data Link

    Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC TW1 has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+).
  • Page 15: Rigging

    Rigging The MAC TW1 can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation. The mounting points allow the clamp brackets to be fastened parallel or perpendicular to the front as shown Figure 5. Figure 5: Clamp bracket positions and safety wire attachment point DANGER! Use two clamps to rig the fixture.

    2. Turn the 4 retaining screws in the top cover (see Figure 10) one half-turn counter-clockwise to release the cover. Covers are a tight fit on the MAC TW1, and the top cover may require some pressure to remove. Figure 10: Top cover retaining screws...
  • Page 25: 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 TW1. Cooling fans suck in airborne dust and smoke particles, and in extreme cases fixtures may require cleaning after surprisingly few hours of operation.
  • Page 26: Lubrication

    ESD damage. Avoid touching electronic components. The MAC TW1 is protected by two main fuses, one on the live and one on the neutral conductor. The fuses are located on the PCB in the base unit. The circuit that supplies lamp power from an external dimmer is also protected by two fuses.
