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 installing or powering the fixture, follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings in this manual and on the fixture.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 1 meter (3.3 feet) of the fixture. • Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around fans and air vents. • Never place filters or other materials over the lens or mirror. • Allow the fixture to cool before handling. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 20 minutes before opening the fixture or removing the lamp. • Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin parts.
2. INSTALLATION AC power The Mania SCX500 is supplied set up to match local voltage and frequency. The factory setting is shown on the serial number label. It is not possible to reconfigure the Mania SCX500 to accept any other voltage or frequency than those stated on the serial number label. Warning! For protection from fire and electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power supply must have overload and ground-fault protection.
Rigging the Mania SCX500 The Mania SCX500 must be either: • fastened to a flat surface by means of its adjustable U-bracket, • fastened to a flat surface by means of its adjustable U-bracket and mounting plate, or • attached to a rigging clamp by means of its adjustable U-bracket. Do not install the fixture by any other means, as this can cause the fixture to overheat. Warning! Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing or servicing the fixture.
If required, the fixture may also be installed using the supplied mounting plate (see illustrations): 4. Ensure that the structure used to support the fixture can support at least 10 times the total weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc. 5.
6. Loosen the swivel locks and tilt the fixture to the desired angle. Turn the swivel locks clockwise to tighten. Check that both swivel locks are tight and that the fixture is securely clamped in position. Focus adjustment The focus adjustment screw is next to the lens aperture. Do not confuse it with the cover release screw. Focus adjustment knob Lamp module cover release thumbscrew Do not look directly into the light beam while adjusting the focus.
applications. Your Martin dealer can supply suitable high quality cable in various lengths. Connecting the serial data link The Mania SCX500’s data connections are XLR type, wired with pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to signal - (cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot). This is the standard configuration for DMX devices.
3. OPERATION Important! Each time you power the Mania SCX500 off, wait at least 10 seconds before powering on again. Failure to do so may cause damage that is not covered by the product guarantee. The Mania SCX500 is supplied in DMX mode. If you are not using a DMX controller, set the fixture to music trig or auto trig mode before use (see “Selecting operating modes” on page 15). Once the Mania SCX500 is correctly and safely installed, power on at the fixture’s power on/off switch. The fixture will reset.
Selecting op erating modes To switch between DMX, auto trig and music trig modes: 1. Apply power to the fixture. If the display shows 0 0 1 after it has reset, the fixture is in DMX mode with DMX address 001. 2. Press the Mode button once. The fixture enters auto trig mode and 9 0 0 appears in the display. 3. Press the Mode button again once. The fixture enters music trig mode, and 901 appears in the display. 4. Press the button again once to return to DMX mode.
Master/slave operation In master/slave mode, one master Mania SCX500 sends trigger signals to all the fixtures connected to it, and all fixtures run an identical dynamic light show. Up to 32 Mania SCX500s can be connected together and operated in master/slave mode. More fixtures can be added using an optically isolated splitter/amplifier such as the Martin RS-485 Opto-Splitter (P/N 90758060).
When a fixture is set as master, it remembers this setting when it is powered off. This means that it will still be set as master the next time it is powered on. DMX controller operation Setting 8- or 6- ch annel DMX mode The Mania SCX500 can run in two DMX modes: 8-channel and 6-channel mode.
For individual control, each fixture must be assigned its own DMX address and control channels. Fixtures with the same address will receive the same instructions and behave identically. If a fixture is set to 8-channel mode and you give it DMX address 100, for example, it will use channels 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106 and 107. Channel 108 is available for the next fixture. To set DMX addresses: 1. Power on the fixtures on the DMX link. 2.
Macros: The Mania SCX500 features 12 macros on Channel 1. These pre-programmed shows are built into the fixture software. They use all the fixture’s effects, giving varied light shows with minimal programming. Dimming: The Mania SCX500 can be dimmed from 0% (blackout) up to 100% intensity using channel 2. Color wheel position and rotation: The color wheel features 14 fullcolor filters plus white (no filter) and 5 multi-color filters.
• Set channels 7 and 8 to ‘tracking’ if you are using programmed fade times or macros on your DMX controller. • Select a speed on channels 7 and 8 if you are not using programmed fade times or macros on your DMX controller. The Mania SCX500 is set to ‘tracking’ by default. See “DMX protocol” on page 27 for full details of the DMX values you need to set on each channel to obtain the lighting effects outlined above.
I nverti ng ti lt To set a Mania SCX500 to inverted tilt: 1. Apply power to the fixture and wait for the fixture to reset. 2. Hold the Mode button pressed in. After 5 seconds the display will blink. You are now in the control menu. Keeping the Mode button pressed in, press the X100 button repeatedly, until 3 appears in the left of the display. • If the display blinks 3 0 , the fixture is in normal tilt mode. • If the display blinks 3 1 , the fixture is in inverted tilt mode. 3.
4. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE The Mania SCX500 requires simple routine maintenance. The maintenance schedule depends heavily on the operating environment; please consult a Martin service technician for recommendations. Any service procedure not described here should be referred to a qualified technician. Warning! Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before removing any cover.
2. Remove the lamp module cover release thumbscrew and open the cover on its hinge. Do not confuse the cover release thumbscrew with the focus adjustment knob. Focus adjustment knob Lamp module cover release thumbscrew 3. Remove the old lamp from its metal clip and, being careful not to strain any wires, gently pull the lamp off its ceramic base. 4. Hold the new lamp by its base (do not touch the inside of the reflector or the bulb). Push the lamp pins squarely into the ceramic base. 5.
Cleaning Cleaning optical components Use care when cleaning optical components. The coated surfaces are fragile and small scratches may be visible in the fixture’s light output. 1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes. 2. Remove the lamp module cover release thumbscrew and open the lamp module cover on its hinge. 3. Blow or vacuum away loose dust. Remove residues from lenses and filters with a soft cloth or cotton swabs wetted with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Pry open the fuse holder (located next to the power cable entry, EU model illustrated) with a flat-head screwdriver and remove the fuse. Fuse holder 3. Replace the fuse with one of the same type. The fuse rating is listed on the serial number label and in “Mania SCX 500 specifications” on page 30. 4. Replace the fuse holder. 5. If fuses continue to blow, there is probably a fault. Disconnect the fixture from power and data and contact a Martin service technician.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Probable cause(s) No power to fixture. One or more fixtures is completely dead. Check that power is switched on and cables are plugged in. Main fuse blown. Replace fuse. Controller not connected. Connect controller. XLR pin-out of controller does not match pin-out of first fixture on link (i.e. polarity is reversed). Install phase-reversing cable between controller and first fixture on link. Bad data link connection Inspect connections and cables.
