INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Martin MAC 250 Krypton.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection. • Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture. • Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician. PROTECTION FROM UV RADIATION AND LAMP EXPLOSION • Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or covers.
SETUP Unpacking The MAC 250 Krypton comes with: • • • • • MSD 250/2 lamp (not installed) 3-meter, 3-wire IEC power cable user manual 1/4-turn clamp mounting bracket 5-meter, 3-pin shielded XLR control cable The packing material is carefully designed to protect the fixture during shipment - always use it or a custom flight case to transport the fixture. Lamp installation A lamp must be installed prior to initial operation. COMPATIBLE LAMPS A Philips MSD 250/2 lamp is included.
2 Pull out the lamp socket. 3 If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. 4 Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base (do not touch the glass), align the small pin on the lamp with the small hole in the socket and insert the lamp squarely. Make sure that the 4 small projections on the base contact the face of the socket. 5 Clean the glass bulb with the cloth supplied with the lamp, particularly if your fingers touched the glass.
4 Move the voltage switch to the setting that most closely matches the local AC voltage. If your voltage falls halfway between 2 settings, select the higher voltage. For example, if the AC voltage is 220 V, use the 230 V setting instead of 210 V. 5 Move the frequency switch to the setting that matches the local AC frequency: 50 or 60 Hz. 6 Replace the cover. INSTALLING A PLUG ON THE POWER CABLE The power cable must be fitted with a grounding-type cord cap that fits your power distribution system.
The MAC 250 Krypton includes an omega clamp mounting bracket to which 1 or 2 rigging clamps (not included) can be bolted. The clamp mounting bracket fastens to the base as shown with 1/4-turn fasteners. Figure 3: Clamp mounting bracket Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point provided in the base. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment. Always use an approved safety cable. The 1/4-turn fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.
3 To terminate the link, insert a male 120 Ω XLR termination plug in the output of the last fixture. TIPS FOR BUILDING A SERIAL LINK • Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For links up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) long, you can use 24 AWG, low capacitance, 85-150 ohm characteristic impedance, shielded cable with 1 or more twisted pairs. For runs up to 500 meters (1640 ft.) use 22 AWG cable.
CONTROL PANEL You set the address and personalities, read out data, and execute service utilities from the control panel. Settings can also be changed remotely via the serial link with the Martin MP-2 uploader. See also the control menu table starting on page 30. Menu navigation The DMX address and any error messages are displayed after the fixture resets. To enter the menu, press [menu]. Use the [up] and [down] keys to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press [enter].
where you want some fixtures to mirror the performance of others with the same DMX address, or when fixtures are not oriented as programmed. • PT SP, the pan/tilt speed menu, provides 3 settings: F A ST , N OR M a nd SL O W . N OR M is best for most applications. F AS T provides better performance in applications where speed is most important.
LAMP STRIKES Read the total number of lamp strikes (IN F O> TI M E> L S T >T OT L ), and the number of lamps strikes since the counter was last reset (I N F O > T I M E > L S T > R S E T ). Reset this counter when installing a new lamp. Press [up] for 5 seconds while displayed to reset. FIRMWARE VERSION I N F O > V E R displays the firmware version number. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at startup.
UPLOAD MODE The upload mode command (U TI L >U P Ld ) prepares the fixture for a software update. This command is not necessary, however, as upload mode is engaged automatically by the uploader.
DMX-512 CONTROL The MAC 250 Krypton is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The full protocol is available in “DMX protocol” on page 27. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit Extended mode uses 17 DMX channels, three more than the 14 DMX channels than standard 16-bit mode requires. 16-bit Extended mode provides more precise control of the dimmer color, and focus settings. All other functions are identical. See “DMX protocol” on page 25.
rotation speed are selected on channel 5 (channel 7 in 16-bit Extended mode). Fine tuning of this index position or rotation is available on channel 6 (channel 8 in 16-bit Extended mode). The gobo wheel can also rotate continuously in both directions at variable speed. FOCUS The beam may be focused from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity using channel 7. 16-bit Extended mode provides finer tuning on channel 5 of the color setting selected on channel 4.
OPTICAL CONFIGURATION Gobos The MAC 250 Krypton accepts up to eight metal or glass gobos with an outside diameter of 22.5 mm and a maximum image diameter of 17 mm. STANDARD GOBO CONFIGURATION The MAC 250 Krypton provides 7 gobos as shown below.
2 Remove the top cover of the fixture head using a flathead screwdriver to loosen the four quarter-turn screws. The top and bottom cover look the same, but the top cover is found by checking if the text on the back of the head is oriented correctly (top) or not (bottom) as illustrated here. mm fla na to lumi e e il t t c tan to ien dis nce mb ce to a fa m ista u r m d nim m mu su Mi imu axi rior M xte n Mi E 18 3 Turn the gobo wheel to access the desired position.
7 Insert the gobo holder back in the gobo wheel using a small flathead screwdriver to lift the retaining blades. 8 Replace the cover before applying power. GOBO ORIENTATION When an object is held up to the coated side there is no space between the object and its reflection. The back edge of the gobo cannot be seen when looking through the coated side. Smooth side towards lamp When an object is held up to the uncoated side there is a space between the object and its reflection.
Color filters STANDARD CONFIGURATION The MAC 250 Krypton provides 12 dichroic color filters as shown below.

Intense heat.
3 Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the two retaining plates (only one - at position A - is illustrated here) holding the prism module in place. Disconnect the cables (at positions marked B) from the PCBs on the prism module. A B B 22 4 Lift the prism module out of the fixture. 5 Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the half-circle shaped plate that holds the prism into place (as indicated in this illustration).
7 Replace the rubber drive belt over the rotating prism and screw the half-circle shaped plate into place. The prism should be able to rotate freely. 8 Reinsert the prism module into the fixture, reattach the leads (these are numbered) to the PCBs, and screw the retaining plates into place. 9 Replace the top cover using a flathead screwdriver to tighten the four quarter-turn screws. 10 Connect the fixture to AC power.
SERVICE The MAC 250 Krypton requires regular maintenance to keep performing at their peak. Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The maintenance schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any service that is not described here to a professional technician. Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials.
Lubrication Use only silicone lubricant, Martin P/N 37302003 (500 ml) or P/N 37302004 (200 ml, in applicator bottle). No other lubricant is approved for use. When applying lubricant, always remove excess and do not get oil on other parts. 1 Check the focus mechanism and apply a drop of lubricant to the 3 metal slides if movement is rough. 2 Lubricate the rotating-gobo bearings if movement is rough on slow rotation or if they become noisy.
Updating software The latest MAC 250 Krypton firmware is available from the support area of the Martin web site at www.martin.dk. It can be installed via the serial data link using a supported Martin uploader such as the MP-2, or via a LightJockey 4064 ISA DMX interface. Note: Intermediate control systems such as the Martin Lighting Director (MLD) and the Martin Matrix must be bypassed when updating fixture software via the DMX link.
