    Martin about. The problem is fixed in software from version 1.6. • Missing or incorrectly set jumper: The MAC 500 has a jumper on the PCB to configure the pin-out of the XLR jacks. The default configuration is DMX pin-out, i.e., pin-2 (-) and pin-3 (+). The fixture will not respond to DMX if the jumper is miss- ing or set to Martin protocol.

    The new belt has part number 372301. Balance plates The achromatic lenses now being used in the MAC 500 are heavier than the first lenses used. To counterbalance the additional weight, two 3 mm thick steel plates are being fastened to the top and bottom of the lamp housing, just in front of the quarter-turn fasteners.
  • Page 27 Changes New head shell The plastic in the shell of the MAC 500 head was changed to another type that withstands higher tem- peratures and has better heat conduction properties. The new shell may be identified by the embossed Martin logo and by the number of ventilation slots over the lamp housing: the old shell has four slots (9 mm wide) and the new shell has 6 slots (3 mm wide).
