section 2
This section describes the steps required to prepare the MAC 500/E for operation.

Unpacking

The MAC 500/E package includes: 2 Fast-Lock clamp brackets 5-meter XLR-XLR control cable User manual 7 extra gobos 1 spare rotating gobo spring
The packing material is carefully designed to protect the fixture during shipment - always use it or a custom MAC 500/ 600 flight case to transport the fixture. 1RWH 0$& IOLJKW FDVHV SURGXFHG EHIRUH 6HSWHPEHU DUH QRW GHHS HQRXJK IRU WKH 0$& ( These flight cases can be identified by the outside measurements: 860 mm (34") from bottom to top, including wheels, on the outside. Suitable flight cases measure 894 mm (35.2") from bottom to top, including wheels.
Installing or changing the lamp
Disconnect the fixture from AC power before proceeding. Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes and allow a hot lamp to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the fixture.
The MAC 500/E is designed to work with the Philips MSR-575/2, Philips MSD-575, Osram HSD-575, or the Osram HSR-575/2 discharge lamps. ,QVWDOOLQJ DQ\ RWKHU ODPS PD\ GDPDJH WKH IL[WXUH The lamp holder is pre-adjusted at the factory; precise alignment may be necessary due to slight variations between lamps. The procedure is described on page 25. 1. The MAC 500/E must be cool and isolated from AC power. Remove the 2 screws holding the lamp assembly. Gently remove the assembly.

2. 3. 4. 5.

If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base (do not touch the glass), carefully insert it firmly and squarely into the lamp socket. Clean the glass bulb with the cloth supplied with the lamp, particularly if your fingers touch the glass. A clean, lint-free cloth wetted with alcohol may also be used. Re-insert the lamp assembly and replace the screws.

Ve c t o r c o n t r o l

With vector control, available in DMX modes 3 and 4, the fixture is given just 1 position - the end position - and a speed, which is set on a separate channel. )RU VPRRWK PRYHPHQW WKH IDGH WLPH PXVW EH VHW WR LH WKH HIIHFW EXPSV RU VQDSV IURP RQH SRVLWLRQ WR WKH QH[W With controllers that do not have programmable fade times, vector control provides a way to set speed. Because the end point and speed are known from the beginning, vector control results in smooth movement regardless the fade time or the controllers processing power. The speed channels allow vector control to be turned off, resulting in tracking control. In addition, they offer a blackout speed, described below, and overrides of the P TSP (pan/tilt speed), MOd E (studio mode), and SC UT (shortcuts) personality settings. When blackout speed is enabled, effects move at full speed. The dimmer/shutter closes while the effects move to make the transition invisible. Dimmer/shutter strobe and pulse effects, however, override the blackout command.
8-bit versus 16-bit pan/tilt resolution
With 8-bit pan/tilt resolution, the pan and tilt are divided into 256 equal increments. Finer position control and smoother movement is provided in the 16-bit modes, which divide the full pan range into 32,768 increments and the full tilt range into 45,567 increments.

Controllable effects

All moving effects are reset to a home position when the fixture is powered up. The fixture can also be reset via DMX if DMX reset (SPEC /dR ES ) is enabled. There is also a combination of DMX values that allows you to reset the MAC 500/E even if this feature is disabled; see the DMX protocol for details. An on-the-fly position correction system monitors the position of the color wheels, fixed-gobo wheel, and rotating gobos. If an error is detected, the shutter closes and the effect is reset to its home position. Normal operation resumes immediately thereafter. This feature can be disabled by setting effects feedback ( S PEC/ EFF b ) to OFF. General operation may be optimized for speed or quietness with the studio mode setting (S PEC /MO dE ). The menu setting may be overridden via DMX using the effects speed channel in DMX modes 3 and 4.
The MAC 500/E can be set to automatically strike the lamp within 90 seconds of being powered on by setting the Automatic Lamp On (S PEC /ALO N ) personality to ON. A delay determined by the fixture address prevents all lamps from striking at the same time. If Automatic Lamp On is set to off (default), the lamp remains off until a lamp on command is sent from the controller. A peak of electric current that can be many times the operating current is drawn for an instant when striking the lamp: striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps from striking or trip the main circuit breaker. Avoid this by programming a lamp on sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals. Power to the lamp can be turned off from the controller if the DMX Lamp Off (SP EC/d LOF ) feature is enabled. There is also a combination of DMX values that allows you to turn off the lamp even if this feature is disabled; see the DMX protocol. %H FDUHIXO: it is not possible to strike the lamp within 8 minutes of having switched it off. The MAC 500/E will store a lamp on command and strike the lamp automatically when the 8 minutes have elapsed. With the MAC 500 E, lamp power falls to 400 watts for cooler operation and longer lamp life when the shutter is closed for 10 seconds. Power instantly returns to full when the shutter opens. Reduced power mode can also be forced - with the shutter open - by setting channel 1 to a DMX value from 73 to 79.

Pan and tilt

The moving head pans 440 and tilts 306. Movement may be optimized for speed by setting the pan/tilt speed (PTS P ) personality to F AST , or for smoothness by setting it to S LOW. The setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Setting the movement speed to blackout in vector mode causes the shutter to black out the light while the mirror is moving. The pan and tilt channels (DMX) can be inverted and/or swapped for convenience using the pan/tilt (PAT I ) menu.

Color wheels

The MAC 500/E has 2 9-position-plus-open color wheels, yielding a total of 100 possible combinations. The 4 temperature correction filters and 14 dichroic colors combine in 67 useful ways that can be called on 1 DMX channel. Both wheels can be scrolled, allowing for split color effects, snapped to fixed positions, and continuously rotated in both directions at different speeds. The 67 colors can be called randomly on DMX channel 4. The Shortcuts (S PEC /SC UT ) setting determines whether the wheels take the shortest path to the next position or turn in one direction only. The setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Setting the color speed to blackout in vector mode causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheels are moving.
The beam may be focused from 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity. The beam angle with the standard lenses is 17. An optional 23.5 wide-angle lens set is available as well. See Accessories on page 35.

Fixed (static) gobos

There are 2 operating modes available for the fixed-gobo wheel, which has 9 positions for metal gobos plus an open position. In fixed mode (SPE C/gM Od/ FIX ), the wheel steps between fixed positions and shakes at variable speeds. In scroll mode (S PEC /gM Od/ SCRL ), the wheel scrolls continuously, shakes at 1 speed, and rotates in 2 directions at variable speed. Setting the fixed-gobo speed to blackout in vector mode causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel turns from one position to another.
The Shortcuts (SP EC/ SCUT ) setting determines whether the gobo wheel takes the shortest path to the next position or turns in one direction only. The setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode.

Rotating gobos

The MAC 500/E has 5 rotating positions for glass or metal gobos. Gobos may be rotated in both directions at varying speeds or indexed to any position. The function and gobo are selected on channel 5 and the velocity or index position are selected on channel 6. Setting the rotating-gobo speed to blackout in vector mode causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel turns from one position to another and, if indexing is selected, while the gobo rotates between positions. To change the gobos, see Gobo orientation and positions on page 17.
The iris diameter ranges from 100 to 15 percent open. There are 6 variable/random pulsating iris effects callable on channel 9. These can be disabled by switching DMX Macros (SP EC/d MAC ) off. The iris reflection reduction setting (SPE C/I RR ) closes the iris slightly from full open to eliminate a halo effect seen in very early units.

Rotating prism / variable frost
The 3-facet prism can rotate in both directions at varying speeds. There are 8 preprogrammed macros that combine the prism with rotating gobos on channel 10. These can be disabled by switching DMX Macros (SP EC/ dMA C ) off. Setting the prism speed to blackout in vector mode causes the shutter to black out the light while the prism moves in and out. An optional frost filter may be installed in place of the rotating prism to provide a variable frost effect. If the frost filter is installed, the fixture type personality (S PEC / F TYP ) must be set to F ROS to enable the frost variation of the protocol.

Dimmer / shutter

The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming, instant open and blackout, random and variable strobe effects up to 23 Hz, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens. The pulse and random strobe effects can be disabled by switching DMX Macros (S PEC /dM AC ) off. The Dimmer Mode (SPE C/dM Od ) setting allows you to select between linear or simulated tungsten fade curves. The fade time must be 0 to simulate tungsten dimming.

section 4

CONTROL PANEL
The 4-digit LED control panel on the front of the MAC 500/E allows you to set the address and personalities, read lamp hours and other information, calibrate effects, control the fixture manually, and run stand-alone tests and demo programs.
