Safety information Warning! This product is for professional use only. It is not for household use. This product presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat, electric shock, ultraviolet radiation, lamp explosion, and falls. Read this manual before powering or installing the fixture, follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the fixture.
PROTECTION FROM INJURY DUE TO FALLS AND WHILE LIFTING • Do not lift or carry the fixture alone. • When installing the fixture above ground level, verify that all supporting structures, fasteners and lifting equipment can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices. • Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened and use an approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cable.

Introduction Thank you for selecting the Martin® MAC 700 Wash. This moving-head washlight features: • • • • • • • • • • • 700 watt short-arc high-output discharge lamp with hot restrike full-range mechanical dimmer/shutter seamless CMY color mixing 5500 - 2800 K variable 0 - 100% color temperature correction color wheel with 8 replaceable filters (6 colors, 3200 - 4100 CTC and UV transmitter) plus open continuous and indexable rotating beam shaper 5:1 (12.
AC power WARNING! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply must be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection. Check that the correct fuse is installed before applying power. Power supply and main fuse The MAC 700 Wash features an auto-ranging switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to 100-120 V and 208-240 V nominal AC power at 50 or 60 Hz.
Lamp About the discharge lamp The MAC 700 Wash is designed for use with an OSRAM SharXS HTI 700 W/D4/75 lamp. This highly efficient double-ended short-arc source provides a color temperature of 7500 K, a color rendering index greater than 85, an average service life of 750 hours and hot restrike. Note that lamp power is automatically reduced to 400 W after 10 seconds when the fixture is blacked out with the dimmer. The lamp returns to 700W as soon as the dimmer is opened.
5. With the nipple on the replacement lamp facing towards the back as shown in Figure 3, insert the left pin into the socket. Push down on the right-hand spring and snap the pin into place. Nipple facing towards back Figure 3: Lamp insertion 6. See Figure 4. Make sure that the terminals on the lamp sit below the V-section in the lampholder clips and not in the V-section itself. 7. Lift the lamp assembly so that lamp is level with the center of the reflector.
DMX data link Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC 700 Wash has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5. The sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs.
Rigging The MAC 700 Wash can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation. The mounting points allow the clamp brackets to be fastened parallel or perpendicular to the front as shown Figure 6. Figure 6: Clamp bracket positions and safety wire attachment point Warning! Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. The fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.
Control panel You can set the MAC 700 Wash’s DMX address, configure individual fixture settings (personality), read out data, and execute service utilities from the fixture’s control panel. Settings can also be changed remotely via the DMX link with the Martin MP-2 uploader. See also the control menu overview starting on page 26 for a complete list of the menus and commands available in the control panel.
DIMMER The dimmer curve setting (→) provides two options for dimmer behavior. Select for a near-linear dimming curve or to simulate tungsten lamp dimming characteristics. DISPLAY The display intensity (→) setting controls display brightness. Select for automatic display or manually set the intensity to a level from to .
FIRMWARE VERSION → displays the version number of the installed firmware. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at startup. DMX The DMX log () menu provides useful information for troubleshooting control problems. displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control. displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received.
CALIBRATION The calibration menu (→) provides utilities to define offsets in software that are relative to the mechanical reset or home positions. This allows you to fine tune optical alignment and achieve uniform performance between fixtures. Dimmer and zoom are calibrated to defined points. The other effects are calibrated relative to an arbitrary reference fixture.
Effects This section describes the effects in the MAC 700 Wash with reference to the DMX channels used to control them. See page 23 for the complete DMX protocol. The MAC 700 Wash has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit basic and 16-bit extended. The 16-bit basic mode uses 16 DMX channels, and 16-bit extended mode uses 23 channels. Extended mode provides all features of the basic mode plus fine control of the dimmer, cyan, magenta, yellow, CTC, color wheel and zoom.
Snap dimming 0-100% or 100-0% is instant. However, because of the way the fixture processes dimming commands, you need to set effects speed to the fastest speed in vector mode by sending DMX value 3 on channel 16 (in basic mode) or 23 (in extended mode) if you want to obtain instant snap dimming to/from intermediate values (e.g. if you want a snap from 100% to 50% or from 20% to 70%). Fine control of the dimmer is available on channel 3 in extended mode.
updates. Setting a fast vector speed gives the fastest dimming to or from scenes in which the dimmer is partly open or partly closed. If the DMX controller has variable cross-fade times, set them to zero when using vector control. BLACKOUT When “blackout while moving” is selected on a speed channel, the shutter closes when an effect moves to make the transition invisible. The shutter opens when the movement is complete.
Optical configuration Color wheel The MAC 700 Wash features a color wheel with 8 interchangeable dichroic color filters and an open position. As standard the MAC 700 Wash is supplied with six color filters, a 3200 - 4100 K CTC filter and a UV transmitter filter that gives ultraviolet ‘black light’ installed. The illustration shows the filter positions as seen from the lamp side. The DMX Protocol on page 23 gives details of color filter selection.
Routine maintenance The MAC 700 Wash requires routine cleaning. The schedule depends heavily on the operating environment. It is essential to follow the cleaning guidelines given later in this section. Refer any service operation that is not described here to a qualified Martin technician. Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particulate buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate maintenance is not covered by the warranty.
5. Unlock the main module by pulling the levers on each side towards the center. Lift the module up 1 cm (0.5 in.) and release the levers. Lift the module straight up to remove from the head. 6. When reinstalling the module, verify that the guide pins are correctly seated and that the module is securely locked. Figure 11: Main module locking levers Cleaning Regular cleaning is very important for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust, dirt, smoke particles, fog fluid residues, etc.
#1 Figure 12: Air filter replacement Replacing the lamp socket The lamp holder used in the MAC 700 Wash eventually wears out due to the high voltages that pass through the contacts. Wear begins to show up as discoloration at the contact surfaces. When this happens, resistance increases and the lamp becomes harder to strike. If this process is allowed to continue, the lamp is likely to fail prematurely.
