LAMP POWER
There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On () and DMX Lamp-Off (). There are three options for automatic lamp control: , , and. When is , the lamp remains off until a lamp-on command is received from the controller. When is , the lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on. When is set to , the lamp strikes automatically when the fixture receives DMX data, and it extinguishes automatically 15 minutes after DMX data is lost. When ALON is either ON or DMX, lamp strike timing is determined by the fixture address to prevent all lamps from striking at once. The DMX Lamp-Off setting effects how the lamp can be turned off. When is , lamp power can be switched off by sending a DMX value from 248 to 255 on channel 1 for five seconds. When is , the lamp-off command will not work unless special conditions are met. Refer to the DMX protocol.
The fixture can be reset from the controller if DMX reset () is set to. If DMX reset is , this command will not work unless special conditions are met. Refer to the DMX protocol.

CONFIGURATION

GOBO ORIENTATION

The orientations shown in Figure 3 are correct in most cases, but consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier if you are in any doubt about the orientation of a specific gobo type.

Coated Glass Gobos

More reflective side towards lamp Less reflective side away from lamp
To minimize the risk of gobo overheating and damage, the more reflective side of a coated gobo must normally face towards the lamp.
The less reflective side of a coated gobo will absorb more heat, and must therefore normally face away from the lamp.
Focus is easiest to maintain if you install all gobos in the same plane of focus. This means that on one gobo wheel, coated sides should all face the same way. However, because of the risk of heat damage, the first priority is normally to ensure that more reflective sides all face towards the lamp. To determine which side of a gobo is coated, hold an object up to it. On the uncoated side, there is a space between the object and its reflection. The edge of the gobo can also be seen when looking through the glass Uncoated side Coated side

Textured Glass Gobos

Smooth side towards lamp Textured side away from lamp
To avoid heat problems, certain colored textured glass gobos are best installed with the colored/textured side towards the lamp. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Probable cause(s) No power to fixture. One or more of the fixtures is completely dead. Primary fuse blown. Secondary fuse(s) blown (located on PCB inside base). Fixtures reset correctly but all respond erratically or not at all to the controller. The controller is not connected. XLR pin-out of the controller does not match pin-out of the first fixture on the link (i.e. signal is reversed). Remedy Check that power is switched on and cables are plugged in. Replace fuse. Check fuses on PCB and replace. Connect controller. Install a phase-reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture on the link. Check data quality (page 13). If much under 100 percent, the problem may be a bad data link connection, poor quality or broken cabling, missing termination, or a defective fixture disturbing the link. Inspect connections and cables. Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables. Insert termination plug in output jack of the last fixture on the link. Check address setting. Bypass one fixture at a time until normal operation is regained: unplug both connectors and connect them directly together. Have the defective fixture serviced by a qualified technician. Install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pins 2 and 3 in the fixture that behaves erratically. Contact Martin technician for service if the problem persists. Disconnect fixture. Check settings (AC power on page 7) and correct if necessary. Disconnect fixture and replace lamp. Allow fixture to cool. Clean fan. Make sure air vents at control panel and front lens are not blocked. Turn up the air conditioning. Disconnect fixture. Check settings (AC power on page 7) and correct if necessary.

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. If you have questions about how to operate the fixture safely, please contact your Martin dealer or call the Martin 24-hour service hot line at +200 201.

PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
Warning! Always disconnect from mains supply before replacing the lamp. Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the lamp, fuses, or any part, and when not in use. Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically. Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection.

Introduction

Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture. Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
PROTECTION FROM UV RADIATION AND LAMP EXPLOSION
Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or covers. When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before opening the fixture or removing the lamp. Protect your hands and eyes with gloves and safety glasses. Do not stare directly into the light. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit. Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out, or before usage exceeds the maximum service life.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials. The exterior of the fixture can get very hot - up to 120 C (248 F). Allow the fixture to cool for at least 45 minutes before handling. Prolonged exposure to unshielded lamp can cause eye and skin burns. Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating. Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 1 meter (39 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture. Do not illuminate surfaces within 3 meters (10 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. Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin parts. Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40 C (104 F). Protection from injury due to falls Do not lift or carry the fixture alone. When suspending the fixture, verify that the structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices. Verify that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened and use an approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cable. Block access below the work area whenever installing or removing the fixture.

Unpacking

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour comes with: MSD 250/2 lamp (factory installed) 3-meter, 3-wire IEC power cable user manual 1/4-turn clamp mounting bracket 5-meter, 3-pin shielded XLR control cable
The MAC 250 Entour also comes with an extra 14 lens. The packing material or flightcase is carefully designed to protect the fixture during shipment - always use it to transport the fixture. When installing the MAC 250 Entour model you may find it useful to lock the head in place using the tilt locks.

AC power

Warning! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power supply shall have overload and ground-fault protection.
Important! Verify that power supply settings match the local AC supply before use. The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour is factory configured for 230 V / 50 Hz operation. If your AC power supply is different, the fixture must be configured for the local voltage and frequency. Always use the settings that are closest to your AC supply.
CONFIGURING FOR LOCAL AC POWER

Frequency Voltage

Figure 1: Power supply settings 1. Disconnect the fixture from power.
2. Remove the 2 Phillips screws in the access cover directly behind the power and data connectors. Lift off the cover. 3. Locate the selection switches. 4. Move the voltage switch to the setting that most closely matches the local AC voltage. If your voltage falls halfway between 2 settings, select the higher voltage. For example, if the AC voltage is 220 V, use the 230 V setting instead of 210 V. 5. Move the frequency switch to the setting that matches the local AC frequency: 50 or 60 Hz. 6. Replace the cover.
INSTALLING A PLUG ON THE POWER CABLE
The power cable must be fitted with a grounding-type cord cap that fits your power distribution system. Consult an electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation. Following the cord cap manufacturers instructions, connect the yellow and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to neutral.

Installation

LOCATION AND ORIENTATION
The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour may be installed in any orientation. It can be fastened directly to a suitable surface, hung with a rigging clamp, or placed directly on a level surface. For safe operation, install the MAC 250 Krypton/Entour in a location where: the fixture is at least 1 meters (39 inches) away from combustible materials the fixture is protected from rain and moisture there is at least 0.1 meters (4 inches) clearance around the fan and control panel there are no flammable materials nearby

RIGGING OR MOUNTING THE MAC 250 KRYPTON/ENTOUR
Warning! Block access below the work area before proceeding. The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation. The Fast-Lock system enables quick and easy fastening of the clamp brackets in 4 positions.
The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour includes an omega clamp mounting bracket to which 1 or 2 rigging clamps (not included) can be bolted. The clamp mounting bracket fastens to the base as shown with 1/4-turn fasteners.
Figure 2: Clamp mounting bracket Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point provided in the base. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment. Always use an approved safety cable. The 1/4-turn fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise. 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 on the base. The attachment point is designed to fit a carabiner clamp.
6. Verify that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to be illuminated within 1 meter (39 inches) of the fixture, and that there are no flammable materials nearby.
Connecting the serial data link
The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour has locking 3-pin and 5-pin data input and output sockets that are wired for use with DMX devices with pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-) and pin 3 to hot (+). Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. 1. Connect the controllers output to the fixtures data input. 2. Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture. If connecting a fixture with pin 3 hot to a fixture with pin 3 cold, use a phase-reversing adaptor. 3. To terminate the link, insert a male 120 XLR termination plug in the output of the last fixture.

TIPS FOR BUILDING A SERIAL LINK
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For links up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) long, you can use 24 AWG, low capacitance, 85-150 ohm characteristic impedance, shielded cable with 1 or more twisted pairs. For runs up to 500 meters (1640 ft.) use 22 AWG cable. Use an amplifier if the serial link exceeds 500 meters. Never use a Y connector to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier. Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture on the link. The termination plug, which is simply a male XLR connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, soaks up the control signal so it does not reflect back down the link and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.

CONTROL PANEL

You set the address and personalities, read out data, and execute service utilities from the control panel. Settings can also be changed remotely via the serial link with the Martin MP-2 uploader. See also the control menu table starting on page 41.

Menu navigation

The DMX address and any error messages are displayed after the fixture resets. To enter the menu, press [menu]. Use the [up] and [down] keys to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press [enter]. To escape a function or menu, press [menu].

DMX Mode selection

The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit Extended mode uses 17 DMX channels, three more than the 14 DMX channels than standard 16-bit mode requires. 16-bit Extended mode provides more precise control of the dimmer color, and focus settings. The DMX mode is selected using the PSET option in the fixture control menu (see Control menu on page 41).

The manual control menu () provides commands for turning the lamp on (), turning the lamp off (), and resetting the fixture (). It also permits you to position and move individual effects.

EFFECTS TEST

The test sequence () runs through all effects to provide a quick check of fixture performance. Note: the test sequence does not automatically strike the lamp. Use and to control lamp power. Press [menu] to stop the test.

FEEDBACK TOGGLE

Magnetic sensors monitor the positions of the color wheel, gobo wheel, and rotating gobos. If they detect an error, the shutter closes while the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by turning effects feedback off ().

ADJUSTMENT POSITIONS

The adjustment menu ( ) provides commands for positioning effects during mechanical adjustment.

EFFECT CALIBRATION

With the calibration menu (), effect positions can be fine-tuned with a software-defined offset value to compensate for small misalignments or differences between fixtures. The default offset command () erases any offsets stored in memory.

CIRCUIT BOARD TEST

executes a routine designed for testing the main circuit board. For service use only.

UPLOAD MODE

The upload mode command () prepares the fixture for a software update. This command is not necessary, however, as upload mode is engaged automatically by the uploader.

Control Panel

DMX-512

CONTROL

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The full protocol is available in DMX protocol on page 33. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit Extended mode uses 17 DMX channels, three more than the 14 DMX channels than standard 16-bit mode requires. 16-bit Extended mode provides more precise control of the dimmer color, and focus settings. All other functions are identical. See DMX protocol on page 25.This section briefly describes the DMX-controllable effects. The DMX mode is selected using the PSET option in the fixture control menu (see Control menu on page 41).

Lamp power

LAMP-ON
Unless automatic lamp strike is enabled, lamp power 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.

Rotating gobos

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour accepts up to eight metal or glass gobos with an outside diameter of 22.5 mm and a maximum image diameter of 17 mm.
STANDARD ROTATING GOBO CONFIGURATION
The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour provides 7 rotating gobos as shown below.

SERVICE

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour requires regular maintenance to maintain peak performance. Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup will degrade performance and cause overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The maintenance schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any service that is not described here to a professional technician. Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials. The exterior of the fixture can get very hot - up to 120 C (248 F). Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool for at least 45 minutes before handling. Do not remove covers while the fixture is powered on, as this exposes dangerous live electrical circuits, hot surfaces, and a lamp under high pressure.

Lamp replacement

Lamp life will vary. The rated life of a lamp is the average operating life before lamp failure in the manufacturers test cycle. To reduce the risk of lamp explosion, which may damage the fixture, we recommend that lamps be changed when they reach the limit of their rated life. Never exceed a long-life lamps rated life (3000 hours for the Philips MSD 250/2) by more than 10 percent. For maximum lamp life, avoid excessive strikes and always allow the lamp to burn for at least 5 minutes before turning it off. Replace the lamp when: it strikes with difficulty or not at all, or is in any other way defective hours of use exceed the manufacturers replace before limit. See Table 6.

COMPATIBLE LAMPS

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour is supplied with a Philips MSD 250/2 lamp installed. Approved lamp options are shown in the table below. Installing any other lamp may damage the fixture. Lamp

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 99.9%. 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.
To maintain adequate cooling it is important that the fan be cleaned regularly. It can be cleaned with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air.

Lubrication

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour does not require lubrication under normal circumstances. The slides and spindle for the focus lens car are lubricated with a long-lasting Teflon-based lubricant that can be reapplied by a Martin service partner in the unlikely event that this should be necessary.

Replacing fuses

MAIN FUSE
The main fuse holder is built into the mains input socket. Never replace the fuse with one of a different rating! To replace the main fuse: 1. Unplug the mains cable from the input socket. 2. Pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse. 3. Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating. The fuse rating is listed on serial number label. 4. Close the fuse holder and replace the mains cable.

POWER SUPPLY FUSES

There are two fuses for the low-voltage power supplies located on the printed circuit board. If one or more of the green LEDs on the PCB does not light, one of these fuses may be blown. If all three LEDs are lit, the low-voltage power supplies are functioning correctly. To replace the low-voltage fuses: 1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. 2. Remove the left-side yoke cover (when looking at the head in the text in the upright position from the back as indicated in the illustration) to access the PCB.
m lam ina of e t illumt te c tan to ien dis ance mb ce to um dist m a urfa nim m mu s Mi imu axi rior M xte in M E
3. Carefully remove and check the two fuses located in the bottom of the PCB (see Circuit board connections on page 47). Replace as necessary with fuses of the same size and rating (see page 48).
4. Re-attach the yoke cover. Have the fixture serviced by a Martin service technician if fuses blow repeatedly.

Updating software

The latest MAC 250 Krypton/Entour firmware is available from the support area of the Martin web site at www.martin.dk. It can be installed via the serial data link using a supported Martin uploader such as the MP-2, or via a LightJockey 4064 ISA DMX interface. Note: Intermediate control systems such as the Martin Lighting Director (MLD) and the Martin Matrix must be bypassed when updating fixture software via the DMX link. These systems do not relay the update code correctly because it is not a DMX-compliant signal.

NORMAL UPDATE

To update fixture software, connect an upload device to the fixture just like a DMX controller and perform a DMX mode upload as described in the uploaders documentation. There is no need to isolate the MAC 250 Krypton/Entours from other types of fixtures on the serial link. When the upload is completed (and when booting up) the MAC 250 Krypton/Entour performs a check-sum test of the flash memory and then resets. If the firmware is corrupted a check-sum error () occurs. A few seconds later the fixture displays and is ready for a new DMX-mode upload. In the unlikely event that a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be powered off for at least 10 seconds to force the check-sum test. You can repeat the DMX-mode upload as soon as is displayed.

BOOT SECTOR UPDATE

If the normal update procedure fails or the software update notes call for a boot-sector update, install new software as follows. 1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. 2. Remove the left-side yoke cover (when looking at the head in the text in the upright position from the back as indicated in the illustration) to access the PCB.

4. Apply power and perform a boot-mode upload as described in the uploader manual. 5. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Move the jumper back to the Lock setting. 6. Re-attach the yoke cover.
3. The boot sector jumper is located next to the plug for the control panel data cable. Move the jumper to the Init setting. Verify that the Flash Write jumper is in the Enable position. See the diagram in Circuit board connections on page 47.
