Do not connect devices to power in a chain that will exceed the electrical ratings of any cable or connector used in the chain. The supplied power input cable is rated 6 A and can safely supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT connector when using this cable. If you replace this cable and also use the replacement cable to supply only one fixture with mains power, the replacement cable must also be rated 6 A minimum, have three conductors 18 AWG or 0.
Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture. Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 100 mm (4 in.) away from the fixture head. Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture. Provide a minimum clearance of 100 mm (4 in.) around fans and air vents. Do not illuminate surfaces within 700 mm (27.6 in.) of the fixture. Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses. Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any optical component.
If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, install as directed in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it secures, must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.
Introduction The MH 1 Profile Plus is a small, powerful profile fixture incorporating a 180 W long-life LED engine. It provides two gobo wheels, the first with seven rotating gobos and the second with eight fixed gobos. The fixture has two color wheels, each with eight colors (including white), smooth electronic dimming, rotating prism effects, a mechanical focus and iris, as well as strobe effects.
Physical installation Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before installing the fixture. The fixture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location with adequate ventilation. Ensure that none of the fixture’s ventilation slots are blocked and ensure that the fixture is fastened to a secure structure or surface. Fastening the fixture to a flat surface The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface.
4. Fasten the brackets A to the base of the fixture using their quarter-turn fasteners. Turn the quarter-turn screws a full 90° to lock them. 5. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss and tighten the rigging clamps onto the truss. 6. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed below. 7. Check that the head will not collide with other fixtures or objects.
AC power Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power. Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 6 A and can supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT power throughput socket when using this input cable. If you want to connect other fixtures to the MAINS OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ on page 13.
Linking fixtures to power in a chain If you obtain a 14 AWG / 1.5 mm2 power input cable and 14 AWG / 1.5 mm2 throughput cables from Martin™ (see ‘Error! Reference source not found.’ on page Error! Bookmark not defined.), you can relay mains power from one fixture to another by connecting fixtures to power in a linked daisy-chain, MAINS OUT throughput socket to MAINS IN input socket.

Tips for reliable data transmission Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+).
DMX function settings DMX function settings include the DMX address and a DMX value viewer. DMX addressing The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller over 17 channels. Each DMX controlled fixture must have a DMX address set.
Show settings Show settings determine the behavior of the fixture when it is disconnected from DMX and if, and how, it will run one of the onboard shows.
