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.
materials. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 10 minutes before handling. 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 200 mm (7.9 ins.) of the fixture. Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
rigging clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means of support. 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 5 Profile is a powerful profile fixture with a 75 W long-life LED engine light source. It has two gobo wheels, the first with seven rotating gobos and the second with eight static gobos. The fixture has two color wheels, each with seven colors plus open. It also has smooth electronic dimming, rotating prism effects, remote focus and strobe effects. The fixture is rugged, lightweight and compact. The fixture can be controlled using any DMX-compliant controller.
Physical installation Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 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. Fasten the fixture to a secure structure or surface. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over.
3. The fixture is supplied with an omega-type bracket to which a rigging clamp can be attached. Bolt a rigging clamp securely to the bracket. The bolt used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum, and fastened with a self-locking nut. 4. Fasten the omega bracket to the base of the fixture using the bracket’s quarter-turn fasteners. Turn quarterturn fasteners a full 90° to lock them (see illustration on right). 5.
AC power Read ’Safety information’ on page 5 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 14.
Linking fixtures to power in a chain If you obtain a 14 AWG or 1.5mm2 power input cable and 14 AWG or 1.5mm2 throughput cables from Martin™ (see ‘Accessories’ on page 43), 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. Using 14 AWG or 1.

Control data link A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The fixture has 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The number of daisy-chained fixtures is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures in relation to the maximum 512 channels available in one DMX universe. Note that if independent control of a fixture is required, it must have its own DMX channels.
Connecting the DMX data link To connect the fixture to data: 1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the first fixture’s male XLR DMX input connector. 2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue connecting fixtures output to input. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a DMX termination plug.
Fixture setup This section explains the fixture characteristics that can be set that determine how it can be controlled and will behave. These settings are made using the menus available from the control panel, and are retained, even when the fixture is powered off. Only the most commonly used menu options for fixture setup are described in this section. A complete map of the control menu structure and brief explanations of their purposes can be found in ’Control menus’ on page 37.

The prism can be set to an indexed position or rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise. Strobe effects The strobe effects provide instant open and blackout as well as variable speed regular and random strobe.
Maintenance Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before servicing the fixture. Service fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from failing parts, tools or other materials. Refer any service or repair operation not described in this manual to an authorized RUSH by Martin™ service technician. Do not try to carry out such an operation yourself, as doing so may present a health or safety risk. It may also cause damage or malfunction, and it may void your product warranty.
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage. To clean the fixture: 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. 2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and the air vents at the back and sides of the head and in the base with low-pressure compressed air. 3.
To replace a rotating gobo: 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. 2. See illustration below. Remove the fixture head covers using a Phillips screwdriver. 3. The rotating gobos sit in goboholders that slot into the rotating gobo wheel. Note the position of the gobo – you will need to reinstall it in the same orientation. Lift out the goboholder that contains the gobo that is to be replaced. 4. See illustration below.
5. Place the new gobo in the goboholder and reinstall the wire clip. Check that it is clipped fully into its grooved seating and replace the goboholder in the rotating gobo wheel in its original orientation. 6. Replace the head covers and be ready for the head to move when the product resets when you reapply power.
