A C PO W E R C O N N E C T I O N
This section describes how to tap the power supply for local conditions and how to wire the mains lead. Do not connect
the MAC 300 to an electrical dimmer system: doing so can damage the electronics.

WA R N I N G !
For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must be grounded
(earthed). The AC supply shall have overload and ground-fault protection.
C h a n g i n g vo l t ag e a n d f r e q u e n cy s e t t i n g s
The factory settings are printed on the serial number label under the base. These settings must match the local AC
power supply as closely as possible! Operating at the incorrect power setting can result in poor light output, greatly
reduced lamp life, overheating and/or damage to the fixture.
1.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Unscrew and remove the cover from top of the base on the side
closest to the power inlet.

2.

Locate the 7-terminal connection block. Move the wires to the terminals that most closely match
local conditions as shown in Table 1. If the local voltage falls halfway between settings, use the
higher voltage setting. For example, use the 120 V setting if your voltage is 110 V.

3.

Replace the cover.

DATA CONNECTION
This section describes how to connect fixtures to a controller. The MAC 300’s 3-pin XLR connectors are configured
for use with DMX-512 controllers. To reconfigure them for use with Martin Protocol controllers, see “Changing the
XLR pin-out” on page 19.

XLR PIN-OUT
Pin 1: shield Pin 2: signal - Pin 3: signal +
Recommended cable
Use cable designed for RS-485 devices with low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 ohms. The
cable must be electrically shielded and have at least 1 pair of twisted wires. The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm2 (24
AWG) for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.), and 0.322 mm2 (26 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft.).

Adaptors
As many devices have 5-pin connectors and others have 3-pin connectors with reversed signal polarity, adaptor cables
as shown below may be required. Insert a termination plug in the output of the last fixture on the link.

Figure 2: Cable adaptors and termination

Building the data link
1.

DMX controllers: Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. If controller has a 5-pin female
socket, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005).
Martin RS-485 protocol controllers: First, connect a 3-pin “swapper” cable (P/N 11820006) to the
controller’s data output; then, connect a regular data cable to the swapper cable. Alternatively, reconfigure the XLR pin-out as described on page 19.

2.

If convenient, you may split the link into branches using a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel
Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier. Do not use a “Y” connector to split the link.

3.

Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture. Plug the cable into the fixture’s data
input socket.

4.

Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture. If connecting to another type of fixture with reversed-polarity (pin 3 cold), insert a swapper cable
between the two fixtures.

5.

Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
If more fixtures are required, use another controller output, if available, or an RS-485 amplifier.

6.

Terminate the link by inserting a male termination plug (P/N 91613017) into the data output of
the last fixture. A termination plug is simply an XLR connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 W resistor
soldered across pins 2 and 3. If a splitter is used, each branch of the link must be terminated.

RIGGING
This section briefly describes how to install the MAC 300 on a truss.

Location and orientation
The MAC 300 may be installed in any orientation. It shall be located at least 0.4 meters (16 inches) away from the surface to be illuminated and any combustible materials. The lamp socket at the back of the head reaches temperatures up
to 150° C (302° F): the fixture should not be located in publicly trafficked areas.

Rigging hardware
The MAC 300 includes a clamp mounting bracket to which 1 or 2 rigging clamps (not included) can be bolted with
locking 12 mm (1/2 in.) hardware. The clamp bracket fastens to the base with 1/4-turn fasteners. For clamps available
from Martin, see the list of accessories on page 26.

Figure 3: Clamp mounting bracket

To h a n g t h e f i x t u r e o n a t r u s s

WA R N I N G !
Block access below the work area before proceeding.
Always fasten a safety cable to the reinforced attachment point in the base.
The 1/4-turn fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.

8

1.

Verify that the clamps are in good condition and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Bolt
clamps to the bracket with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and lock nut, or as recommended by the
clamp manufacturer, through the 13 mm holes in the clamp mounting bracket.

2.

Align the clamp mounting bracket with any 2 key slots on the base. Insert both locking pins into
the slots and turn both levers a full 1/4 turn clockwise to lock.

3.

Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps,
cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.

4.

Working from a stable platform, clamp the fixture to the structure.

5.

Install a safety cable that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture securely to the
structure and anchor the cable to the dedicated attachment point in the base. The attachment
point is designed to fit a carabiner clamp.

Address selection
The address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. The
address set on the fixture must match the address set on the controller.
When selecting DMX addresses, be sure to allow the number of channels required for the protocol. If any of the control channels for one fixture overlap any of the channels for another fixture, then one of the fixtures will receive the
wrong instructions and respond incorrectly. Two MAC 300s may share the same address, however, if they are to
respond identically: they will receive the same instructions so individual control will be impossible.
Note: Whether the MAC 300 displays a DMX or Martin address at the top of the menu depends on the protocol
selected.

To read a value, navigate to TES T / DMX L and press [Enter]. Scroll to an effect channel and press [Enter] to read
the DMX value received. Look up the value’s function in the DMX protocol to see if it corresponds to the effect’s
behavior.

Quality control and service tests
The PCB and F ACT menus, under TES T, contain tests for factory and service use. The factory effects test
(TES T / FA CT / ETS T ) drives all effects at 10 percent over their maximum speed.

OPERATION
This section describes the MAC 300’s controllable effects and how personality settings affect their behavior. Selecting
personalities from the control panel is described in the previous section.

Mar tin RS-485 con trol
The MAC 300 will be controllable with the Martin 3032 controller when version 2.07 of the 3032 software is released.
To respond to the controller, either Martin mode must be selected or automatic protocol detection must be enabled.

DMX-512 control
The MAC 300 may be operated with USITT DMX512 controllers in 4 different modes that mix vector and/or tracking
control with 8-bit or 16-bit pan/tilt resolution in different combinations.

Tr a c k i n g v e r s u s v e c t o r c o n t r o l
With tracking control the time it takes an effect to move from one position to another is controlled by programming a
fade time on the controller. The controller divides the move into steps and updates the fixture with small changes at the
rate required to achieve the fade. The MAC 300 follows or “tracks” the changes, and averages them with a digital filter
algorithm to ensure smooth movement at all speeds.
With vector control you set the fade speed on a separate speed channel. This provides a way to fade effects with controllers that do not have programmable fade times. With controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates, vector
control provides smoother movement, particularly at slow speeds.
Tracking control can be enabled in vector mode by setting one or both of the speed channels to “tracking speed.” When
setting a fade speed, though, the controller fade time must be 0, i.e., the position snaps from one value to the next.
Vector control also provides a special “blackout speed” and overrides of the shortcut and pan/tilt speed personality settings.

8-bit versus 16-bit pan/tilt resolution
With 8-bit pan/tilt resolution, pan and tilt are divided into 256 equal increments. Finer position control and smoother
movement is provided in the 16-bit modes, which divide pan into 40,192 positions and tilt into 39,424 positions.

Controllable effects
All mechanical effects are reset to a home position when the fixture is powered up and they can also be reset from the
controller. The DMX Reset function (PE RS/ dRE S ), when set to off, prevents accidental resets by adding the
requirement that each CMY channel be set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.
An on-the-fly position correction system automatically corrects the position of the CMY wheels and the color wheel.
Though this feature can be disabled by turning Effects Feedback (P ERS /EFF b ) off, doing so is not recommended.

Lamp
With the default setting, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is sent from the controller. Note: A peak of
electric current that can be many times the operating current is drawn for an instant when striking a discharge lamp.
Striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps from striking or draw enough
current to trip circuit breakers. If sending “lamp on” commands to multiple fixtures, program a sequence that strikes
lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.
The MAC 300 automatically strikes the lamp within 90 seconds of being powered on only if the Automatic Lamp On
setting (P ERS /AL ON ) is turned on. A delay determined by the fixture address staggers lamp strikes to prevent
excessive current draw.
The lamp can be turned off from the controller. Note: the lamp cannot be restruck for 8 minutes after being turned off.
Accidental “lamp off” commands can be prevented by turning the DMX Lamp Off setting (PER S/d LOF ) off.

Operation

15

Dimmer / shutter
The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides full, high-resolution dimming, and random or variable strobe effects
up to 14 Hz.
The Dimmer Mode (PER S / dMO d ) setting allows you to select between linear or simulated tungsten fade curves.
For simulated tungsten dimming, the fade time must be set to 0.

CMY subtractive color mixing
The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color filters. A continuous range of
colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%. Random CMY color mixing at three
speeds can be selected on DMX channel 6.
The Shortcuts setting (PE RS/ SCU T ) determines whether or not the CMY wheels always take the shortest path to
the next position; this setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode.

Color
The color wheel provides a 5500 to 2900K color temperature correction (CTC) filter, a UV filter, and 4 saturated dichroic color filters. The filters are replaceable; please see “Changing color filters” on page 18, and additional colors are
available from Martin; please see “Accessories” on page 26.
The wheel can be scrolled continuously - allowing for split color effects - or in steps, and rotated continuously in both
directions at different speeds.
The Shortcuts setting (PE RS/S CUT ) determines whether or not the wheel always takes the shortest path to the
next position; this setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Setting the effects speed to “blackout” causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel is moving.

Frost
The variable frost filter softens and widens the beam. The beam field angle is 18° with no frost applied and increases to
35° with the frost applied fully.

Pa n an d ti lt
The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 265°. Movement may be optimized for speed by setting the pan/tilt speed setting
(PER S / PTSP ) to FAS T, or for smoothness by setting it to SLOW . This setting may be overridden on the speed
channel in vector mode. Setting the speed to “blackout” causes the shutter to close while the head is moving.
The pan and tilt channels can be inverted and/or swapped in DMX mode with the pan/tilt personality settings (PE RS
/ P ATI ).

Operation

section 8

BASIC SERVICE
The MAC 300 operates under challenging conditions presented by heat, humidity, dust, and touring. Excessive dust,
grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the
warranty. The fixture requires regular maintenance to keep performing at its peak. The schedule will depend on the
application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any service that you are not qualified to perform to a professional technician.

WARNING!
Removing covers exposes dangerous live electrical circuits, hot surfaces, and a
lamp under high pressure. Procedures requiring the removal of any cover shall
be performed by professional users or technicians only. Disconnect the fixture
from AC power and allow it to cool before removing any cover.

Figure 5: Opening the head (base and yoke not shown)

Cleaning
Optical components
Use care when cleaning optical components. The surface on dichroic filters is achieved by means of special multi-layer
coatings and even small scratches may be visible. Residues from cleaning fluids can bake onto components and ruin
them.
1.

Allow the components to cool completely.

2.

Wash dirty lenses and filters with isopropyl alcohol. A generous amount of regular glass cleaner
may also be used, but no residues may remain.

3.

Rinse with distilled water. Mixing the water with a small amount of wetting agent such as Kodak
Photoflo will help prevent streaking and spotting.

4.

Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or blow dry with compressed air.

Fans
To maintain adequate cooling it is important that the fans be cleaned of dust and dirt periodically. Use a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air.

Basic Service

17

Changing color filters
Handle color filters by their edges as much as possible and be careful not to chip the edges.
1.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool.

2.

Remove the top cover from the head as shown in Figure 5.

3.

Rotate the color wheel until the filter is aligned with the access hole in the chassis plate.

4.

Gently tilt the filter out of the clips as shown in Figure 6 and remove.

5.

Installation is the reverse. Turn the filter so that the coated side faces the lamp.

Coated side towards lamp

Uncoated side towards stage

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 filter cannot be seen when looking through the coated
side.

When an object is held up to the uncoated side there is
a space between the object and its reflection. The back
edge of the filter can be seen when looking through the
uncoated side.

Replacing fuses
Po w e r s u p p ly f u s e s
The fuses for each of the 3 low-voltage power supplies are located on the printed circuit board. If one of the circuit
board LEDs does not light, one of these fuses may be blown.

18

1.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the 2 Philips screws from the plastic cover on the arm
opposite the side with the visible motor and pull off the cover.

2.

Locate and replace the defective fuse with one of the same rating. The fuses are shown on the
PCB layout diagram; their values are listed on page 27.

3.

Replace the cover before applying power.

Basic Service

Main fuse
The main fuse holder is built in to the mains input socket. Never replace the fuse with one of a different rating!
1.

Unplug the mains cable from the input socket. Pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse.

2.

Replace the fuse with one of the same type. The fuse rating is listed on serial number label.

3.

Close the fuse holder and replace the mains cable.

Changing the XLR pin-out
The signal polarity of the XLR connectors can be reversed,
allowing the fixture to be connected directly to those Martin
devices with reversed polarity (pin 3 -). Optionally, a phasereversing cable may be used.

Optimizing reflector alignment
The MAC 300 reflector is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, however, fine adjustment may
improve performance.
1.

Strike the lamp and shine the light on a flat surface.

2.

See Figure 1. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) by turning the 3 adjustment
screws one at a time with a 3 mm Allen wrench. If there is no hot-spot, adjust the reflector until
the light is even.

3.

To reduce a hot-spot, “push” the reflector out by turning all 3 screws counterclockwise 1/4-turn at
a time until the light is evenly distributed.

4.

If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is
too far back in the reflector. “Pull” the reflector in by turning the screws clockwise 1/4-turn at a
time until the light is bright and evenly distributed.

Updating software
The latest CPU control software for the MAC 300 is available from your Martin dealer and the Martin web site. This
software is uploaded to the MAC 300 using the Martin MPBB1 Uploader. The display module and feedback system
software are not updated this way.

Normal upload
Update software is uploaded using a Martin uploader such as the MPBB1. The uploader is connected to the fixture just
like a controller. Under normal conditions, software can be installed from a remote location - there is no need to set the
MAC 300 to boot mode. Please refer to the uploader manual for further instructions.

Boot mode upload
If the data is corrupted during transmission, a check-sum error (CS ER ) occurs and after 15 seconds the fixture
switches to boot mode (U PLd ) and is ready for a boot mode upload as described in the uploader manual.
If a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be turned off for at least 10 seconds before a new upload can be
attempted. When powered on, a check-sum error occurs and the fixture goes into boot mode, ready for a second upload
attempt. Select boot mode upload on the uploader.
If there is no functional software in memory, the fixture must be set to boot mode manually. If the control panel works,
select UP Ld from the U TIL menu and confirm when S URE is displayed by pressing [ENTER].

Basic Service

4.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Move the hard boot jumper back to the normal setting and
replace the cover.

Changing lenses
A wide angle diffusion “lens” is available for the MAC 300. The diffuser gives the MAC 300 a 59° beam angle. If the
frost filter is fully applied, the beam angle is 67°. Photometric data for this option is available at http://www.martin.dk/
service/Photometrics/MAC300-wide.htm.
The kit may be ordered by P/N 91610016, “Wide angle diffuser lens kit for MAC 300." To change lenses:
