Dmx Address - Martin MAC Quantum Profile User Manual

Battery power
The MAC Quantum Profile's onboard battery gives access to the most important functions in the control
panel when the fixture is not connected to AC power. The following functions are available on battery
power:

• DMX address

• DMX control mode (Basic/Extended)
• Fixture ID
• Personality settings (pan/tilt invert, pan/tilt and effects speed, dimmer curve, focus tracking, video
tracking, DMX reset, effect shortcuts, cooling mode, display behavior and error mode)
• Default settings
• Information (power on hours and power cycle counters, software version)
• Error list
To activate the display when the fixture is not connected to power, press the Menu button A. Press again to
enter the menus. The display extinguishes after 10 seconds with no user input and the control panel is
de-activated after 1 minute with no user input. Press the Menu button A again to re-activate.
Shortcuts
If you hold the Menu button A pressed in for 2 - 3 seconds, a shortcut menu with the most important
commands appears. Select a command with the Up and Down buttons B and press the Enter button C to
activate, or press the Menu button again to cancel.
• RESET ALL resets the whole fixture
• ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the MAC Quantum Profile display 180°.
Settings stored permanently
The following settings are stored permanently in the fixture memory and are not affected by powering the
MAC Quantum Profile off and on or by updating the fixture software:
• DMX address
• DMX control mode (Basic/Extended)
• Fixture ID
• All personality settings
• Resettable counters
• Service settings
These settings can be returned to factory defaults using the control menus or via DMX.
Service mode
Holding the Menu and Enter buttons A and C both pressed in while powering the fixture on puts the fixture
into service mode, in which pan and tilt are disabled and a SERV warning appears in the display. Service
mode removes the risk of unexpected head movement during lamp adjustment. Cycling power and allowing
the fixture to start normally takes it out of service mode.
DMX address
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the
controller. For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. If you give two
MAC Quantum Profile fixtures the same address, they will behave identically. Address sharing can be
useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan
and tilt options.
DMX addressing is limited to make it impossible to set the DMX address so high that you are left without
enough control channels for the fixture.
To set the fixture's DMX address:
1. Press Enter to open the main menu.
2. Press Enter to enter the DMX ADDRESS menu, then scroll to the desired address and press Enter to
save.
3. Press Menu to exit.
