Introduction Thank you for selecting the MAC 401 Dual™, an intelligent lighting fixture from Martin Professional™.
• Prepare the cabling and connectors for running the fixture off AC power as described in “Power cable and plugs” on page 9.

AC power Warning! Read “Safety Information” starting on page 3 before connecting the MAC 401 Dual™ to AC mains power. For protection from electric shock, the MAC 401 Dual™ must be grounded (earthed). The AC power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection. The MAC 401 Dual™ does not have a power on/off switch. To shut down power urgently, disconnect the fixture’s power input connector.
Attaching a cable to the male input connector Housing Insert Chuck To attach a power cable to the supplied input connector: 1. Slide the bushing over the cable. 2. Slide the white chuck over cables with a diameter (Da) of 5 - 10 mm (0.2 - 0.4 in.), or the black chuck over cables with a diameter of 10 15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.). 3. Prepare the end of the cable by stripping 20 mm (0.8 in.) of the cable’s outer jacket. 4. Strip 8 mm (1/3 in.) from the end of each of the wires. 5.
Data link A data link is required in order to control a MAC 401 Dual™ via DMX. The MAC 401 Dual™ has 5-pin locking XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on XLR connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the MAC 401 Dual™ but they are connected in to the output connector to allow any data that may be present on pins 4 and 5 to pass through the fixture.
Physical installation The MAC 401 Dual™ can be placed on a horizontal surface such as a stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation using the quarter-turn clamp brackets supplied with the fixture and a half-coupler (not supplied). Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point on the connections panel (see Figure 2). Check that all surfaces to be illuminated are minimum 200 mm (8 in.) from the fixture, that combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.) are minimum 200 mm (8 in.
Setup Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the MAC 401 Dual™. Control panel and menu navigation The onboard control panel and LED display are used to set the MAC 401 Dual™’s DMX address, configure individual fixture settings (personality), read out data and execute service utilities. See “Onboard control menus” on page 30 for a complete list of menus and commands.
LED indicators The two LEDs on the right of the display indicate fixture status: • The DMX LED lights when the fixture is receiving a valid DMX signal. • The SERVICE LED lights if the fixture requires a service intervention. At the same time, a message appears in the display indicating the type of service required. The SERVICE LED blinks when the fixture is in factory service mode.
DMX The different pixel grouping, control mode and number of head modules fitted determine the number of DMX channels used: • Each pixel group requires four DMX channels (for Red/Green/Blue/CTC or Hue/Saturation/Value/CTC). See “Pixel grouping” above. • Control modes that incorporate effects use eight additional DMX channels. See “Control modes” above. • When two head modules are installed, the DMX protocol is repeated in full for the second module, but pan/tilt and fixture control channels are disabled.
Resetting via DMX By default, it is possible to reset the whole fixture, reset pan and tilt only or reset effects only by sending a DMX command on the Fixture Control DMX channel (the last of the channels used). This feature can be disabled (to avoid accidental resets in the middle of a show, for example) and enabled in the DRES submenu.
Effects This section describes the lighting effects available in the MAC 401 Dual™. Shutter effect The electronic ‘shutter’ effect provides instant open and blackout, variable speed regular and random strobe, and opening/closing pulse effects. Dimming Overall intensity can be adjusted using 0 - 100% electronic dimming. RGB color mixing Red, green, blue color mixing is available, with 0 - 100% intensity control on one DMX channel for each color.
Pan and tilt The MAC 401 Dual™ fixture’s moving head can be panned through 630° and tilted through 300°. Coarse (8-bit/Most Significant Byte) and fine (16-bit/Least Significant Byte) control of pan and tilt are available in all DMX modes. The fine channels allow fine adjustment of pan and tilt at the position set on the coarse channels. Bear in mind that if two head modules are installed, the second module will point towards the base, and direct light output will be lost, during a portion of its tilt range.
Service and maintenance Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before servicing the MAC 401 Dual™. Warning! Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before handling. Do not view the light output from less than 1 meter (3 feet 4 inches) without shade 4-5 welding goggles. Set the zoom to wide angle and work in well-lit conditions. Be prepared for the fixture to light suddenly if connected to power.
Warning! Disconnect from power and allow to cool before cleaning. To clean the fixture: 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. 2. See Figure 7. Unclip and remove the head air filter from the center of the lens plate. Rinse the filter in lukewarm soapy water and blot dry. If the filter is not in perfect condition, replace it with a new one (available from Martin, P/N 62407156). 3.
Control menu service utilities Fixture reset The RST command in the MAN menu resets the fixture and can be used as a first remedy if an error occurs. Software upload The MAC 401 Dual™ software can be installed and updated by the user. Software updates are available for download on the Product Support pages of the Martin website at www.martin.
Fuse replacement Warning! Disconnect from power before replacing a fuse. Replace fuses with ones of the same type and rating only. Never bypass or bridge a fuse. The MAC 401 Dual™ is protected by two 10 AT mains fuses located in fuseholders next to the power cable entry (see Figure 1 on page 8). To replace a fuse: 1. Isolate the fixture from power. 2. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the fuseholders and remove the fuses for testing or replacement. 3.

Troubleshooting Problem Fixture is completely dead. One or more fixtures resets correctly but responds erratically or not at all to the controller. Light output shuts down unexpectedly. Probable cause(s) Remedy No power to fixture. Check power and connections. Fuse blown. Disconnect fixture from power. Check fuses and replace. Fault on data link. Inspect connections and cables. Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables. Data link not terminated.
