About the HMI 1200 W/S lamp
The MAC 2000 Wash comes with a double-ended OSRAM HMI
1200 W/S discharge lamp installed. This highly-efficient
short-arc source provides an exceptionally stable 6000K color
temperature, a color rendering index greater than 90, and an
average life of 750 hours.
The lamp is capable of hot restrike. This feature, however, is only
supported by the MAC 2000 Wash with electronic ballast.
The ends of the lamp have specially-developed keys, shown in
Figure 6, to ensure proper installation. Do not use HMI 1200 W/S
lamps with the non-keyed SFc 10-4 base.
Warning! Installing any other lamp may create a safety
hazard or damage the fixture!
The lamp has an average life of 750 hours. To reduce the risk of
explosion, replace the lamp before usage exceeds 125% of the
average life, i.e., before it exceeds 940 hours. To read lamp hours
from the control panel, please refer to “Readouts” on page 14.
For optimum performance, avoid turning off the lamp before it
has warmed up fully.
Lamp replacement
Important! Do not touch the quartz bulb with bare fingers.
Replacement lamps are available from your Martin dealer. Please
order Martin P/N 97010304.
The clear quartz bulb must be clean and free of any oils from
your fingers. Clean the lamp with an alcohol wipe and polish it
with a dry cloth, particularly if you accidentally touch the bulb.
Replacing the lamp
1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. Lock
the head horizontally with the top up.
2 See Figure 4. Release the 4 quarter-turn fasteners marked
with arrows on the rear plate. Pull the lamp assembly
straight back as far as it goes and let it rest in place.
3 See Figure 5. Pull the retention spring on the left end up
and then swing the end of the lamp out. Pull the other end
out of the socket.

6 When installing a new lamp, reset the lamp hour and lamp
strike counters as described in “Time” on page 14.
Aligning the lamp
1 Switch on the MAC 2000 Wash and allow it to reset. Using
either a controller or the control module, turn on the lamp
and project an open white beam on a flat surface.
2 Center the hot spot vertically using the top Allen-head
adjustment screw in the center of the rear plate.
3 If there is significant hot spot, turn the bottom adjustment
screw counterclockwise until the light is evenly distributed.
If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the
center, or if light output is low, turn the bottom adjustment
screw clockwise until the light is bright and evenly
distributed.
4 Repeat step 2.

AC POWER
WARNING! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The AC mains
supply shall be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault protection.
Power supply
The MAC 2000 Wash comes with an auto-sensing, auto-ranging switch-mode power supply. Manual adjustments are
not necessary as the MAC 2000 Wash automatically adapts to the mains voltage and frequency.
Fuses The MAC 2000 Wash uses two 20 A T (time delay) main fuses, which are located near the power switch.
Power connection
Important! Connect the MAC 2000 Wash directly to AC power. Do not connect it to a dimmer system;
doing so may damage the fixture.
You may need to install a cord cap that fits your supply on the power cable. A 3-prong grounding-type plug must be
installed following the manufacturer’s instructions. The table shows some possible pin identification schemes; if the
pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
To apply power, set the power switch on the base to the “I” position.
Reduced power function
The MAC 2000 Wash has an automatic power reduction function, which reduces the consumption to 700W if the
shutter/dimmer is closed for more than 10 seconds. This not only increases the lamp life, but also further decreases the
overall noise emission of the fixture.

Data 11
D ATA
Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output.
The MAC 2000 Wash has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is
pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5.
The sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs. For reliable data transmission and to avoid
damage to the fixture, however, use one input and one output!
Connecting fixtures
• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit
control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft). Heavier
gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs.
• Never use both outputs 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. The termination
plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 ohm, 0.25 watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks
up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each
branch of the link.
• Martin fixtures introduced before 1997 have reversed polarity data sockets (pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold). The
socket polarity is labelled. Use a phase-reversing cable between the MAC 2000 Wash and any Martin
device with reversed polarity.
Connecting the data link
1 Connect the DMX data input from the controller to the MAC 2000 Wash’s 3-pin or 5-pin input (male) socket.
2 Using the sockets that match your data cable, connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the
input of the next fixture.
3 Insert a male 120 ΩXLR termination plug in the 3-pin or 5-pin output of the last fixture on the link.

R IGGING
The MAC 2000 Wash 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 as shown Figure 8.
Warning! Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. The
fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.
Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment hole in the base. Never use the carrying
handles for secondary attachment.
To clamp the fixture to a truss
1 Verify that the rigging clamps (not included) are undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the
fixture. Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables,
auxiliary equipment, etc.
2 Bolt each clamp securely to a clamp bracket with an M12 bolt (grade 8.8 or better) and lock nut.
3 Align a clamp with 2 mounting points in the base. Insert the fasteners into the base and turn both levers a
full 1/4-turn clockwise to lock. Install the second clamp.
4 If the truss can be lowered, fixtures can be clamped on directly from the double flight case. If the fixture must
be lifted, block access under the work area. Working safely from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the
truss with the arrow towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamps.
5 Install a safety wire that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. The attachment point is
designed to fit a caribiner clamp.
6 Verify that the pan and tilt locks are released. 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.

DMX address and protocol setting
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two MAC 2000 Washs may share the
same address, however, if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and
symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options.
Two DMX protocols, 8-bit and 16-bit, are available. The 8-bit mode uses 19 control channels and provides full basic
control. The 16-bit mode uses 2 additional channels to provide finer pan/tilt positioning.

Tailoring performance
MOVEMENT
The MAC 2000 Wash provides six options for optimizing movement for different applications.
• The protocol setting (PSET)setting selects 8-bit or finer 16-bit control of pan and tilt.
• The pan and tilt invert (PATI)menu swaps and/or inverts pan and tilt.
• The pan/tilt speed (PTSP) menu provides 3 settings: FAST, NORM, and SLOW. NORM is best for most
applications. FAST provides better performance in applications where speed is most important. SLOW provides the
smoothest movement and is best in long-throw applications with slow movements through narrow angles.
• The studio mode (STUd) setting optimizes all effects besides pan and tilt for speed or quietness.
• The shortcuts (SCUT)setting determines whether the color wheels always take the shortest path between two static
positions or oscillate between outer positions.
TRACKING RESPONSE
The MAC 2000 Wash has a filter algorithm that looks at several position updates in tracking control mode and
calculates the ideal response for smooth movement. Tracking response is adjustable to compensate for variations in
controller performance. In most cases the default settings work well.
If tracking mode movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parameters that can be adjusted. The first is selected under
PERS/TRAC/MOdE. The default, MOd1, is the best choice with controllers that calculate intermediate

14 MAC 2000 Wash
positions at a steady rate. Begin by selecting the alternative, MOd2, which is better if the intermediate positions stray
significantly from the line of travel.
The second parameter is the number of position updates used to calculate speed. The level is adjustable between 1 and
10 under PERS/TRAC/CAL. Increasing the number of samples increases the distance over which speed is
calculated, making movement smoother but less responsive to sudden changes. Experiment for best results.
DISPLAY
The display intensity (dINT) setting controls display brightness. The display on/off setting (dISP) determines
whether the display remains on or extinguishes two minutes after the last key-press. To flip the display, press [Up] and
[Down] simultaneously.
LAMP
There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On (ALON) and DMX Lamp Off (DLoF).
When ALON is off, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is received from the controller. When ALON is
on, the lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on. When ALON is set to DMX, the lamp strikes
automatically when the fixture receives DMX data, and it extinguishes 15 minutes after DMX data is lost.
When ALON is set to either ON or DMX, the automatic lamp strike timing is staggered to prevent all lamps from
striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address.
If striking lamps from the controller, note that 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 DMX Lamp Off (dLOF) is on.
DMX RESET
The fixture can be reset from the controller if DMX reset (PERS/dRES) is ON.
CUSTOM SETTINGS
The custom configuration function allows you to save and recall three sets of fixture settings. The savable settings are
DMX mode, pan/tilt speed, pan/tilt inverse and swap, DMX lamp off and reset, display settings, shortcuts, studio
mode, automatic lamp on, effects feedback, tracking algorithm, and tracking samples.
Readouts
Note: The MP-2 Uploader provides commands to display the time, temperature, and version readouts on the fixture
control panel.
TIME
INFO/TIME provides readouts of fixture hours (HRS), lamp hours (L HR), and lamp strikes (L ST). Under
each item is a resettable (RSET) increment counter and a non-resettable counter for total accumulated hours/strikes
since fabrication (TOTL). To reset an increment counter, display it and then press [Up] until it reads 0. (This may also
be done remotely using the MP-2 Uploader.)
TEMPERATURE
INFO/TEMP provides readouts of the head and base temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
FIRMWARE VERSION
INFO/VER displays the version number of the installed firmware. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at
startup.
DMX
The DMXL menu shows the DMX start code (STCO) and DMX values received for each effect.

Control panel 15
Service messages
The Service LED on the control panel lights under conditions that require fixture service, and there is a message
describing the service required. To display the message, select SMSG in the main menu. This item is available only
when the LED is lit. There are two service messages.
Replace lamp is displayed when the lamp counter exceeds 750 hours, which is the rated average life for the
HMI 1200 W/S lamp. The maximum service life is 125% of the average life, or 940 hours.
Fixture overheating is displayed when the head temperature exceeds 120° C (248° F). Overheating is
likely due to dirty air filters, fans, or air vents; incorrect power supply settings, or a defective fan.
Service utilities
Important! Enter must be held for several seconds to access the utilities menu.
TEST SEQUENCES
TSEQ provides a general test of all effects that can be run without a controller. UTIL/PCBt provides routines
for circuit board testing that are for service use only.
FEEDBACK TOGGLES
An on-the-fly position correction system monitors the color wheels. If a position error is detected, the shutter closes
while the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by turning effects feedback (UTIL/EFFb) off.
The automatic pan/tilt position correction system may be temporarily turned off under UTIL/FEbA. The off
setting, however, is not saved and the system will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts. If the system cannot
correct the pan/tilt position within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically disabled.
ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment menu (UTIL/Adj) provides manual control for making mechanical adjustments and is used by
Martin service technicians.
CALIBRATION
The calibration menu (UTIL/CAL) provides utilities to define offsets in software that are relative to the
mechanical reset or home positions. This allows you to fine tune optical alignment and achieve uniform performance
between fixtures. Dimmer and zoom are calibrated to defined points. The other effects are calibrated relative to an
arbitrary reference fixture.
Default offset settings may be restored by selecting default offsets (UTIL/dFOF).
Calibrating effects
1 Apply power and strike the lamp.
2 To calibrate the zoom, select UTIL/CAL/ZOOF and press [Enter]. The default value of 128 can be
adjusted up or down to move the diffuser lens relatively forward or back. Make any necessary adjustments
and press [Enter] to save the setting.
3 To calibrate the color wheels to an offset from their mechanically indexed position, select
UTIL/CAL/C1OF and press [Enter]. The default value of 128 can be adjusted up or down to move the
color wheel relatively forward or back from its indexed position. Make any necessary adjustments and press
[Enter] to save the setting. Repeat this procedure if necessary for color wheel 2 (C2OF).
4 Pan calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are stacked vertically. To calibrate, set zoom, focus, iris,
and tilt position for easy one-over-the-other comparison and set each fixture to the same pan DMX value.
Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select UTIL/CAL/P OF and press
[Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the
setting.
5 Tilt calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are arranged horizontally. To calibrate, set zoom, focus,
iris, and pan position for easy side-by-side comparison and set each fixture to the same tilt DMX value.

16 MAC 2000 Wash
Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select UTIL/CAL/T OF and press
[Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the
setting.
6 To calibrate the dimmer, select UTIL/CAL/D OF and press [Enter]. Hold a piece of paper over the
lens. Set the offset to 0 and then increase it until light is clearly projected onto the paper. Press [Enter] to
save the setting. Remove the paper.
7 To calibrate color mixing flags (cyan, magenta, yellow, and color temperature correction), project white
beams with no dimming and position them for easy comparison. On each fixture, including the reference,
select UTIL/CAL/C OF and press [Enter]. (This adds a defined amount of cyan.) Select one fixture to
be the reference. Adjust the offsets on the other fixtures to match the reference color. Press [Enter] to save
the setting. Repeat for M OF (magenta), Y OF (yellow), and CTOF (CTC).
SOFTWARE UPLOAD
The software update mode is normally engaged automatically by the upload device. If this does not occur then see
“Software installation” on page 24.

Effects 17
E FFECTS
The MAC 2000 Wash is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The fixture has two DMX operating modes,
8-bit and 16-bit.16-bit mode requires two more DMX channels than 8-bit mode but provides more precise pan/tilt
positioning. All other functions are identical. See “DMX protocol” on page 25.
Dimming and strobe
The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming, instant open and
blackout, random and variable strobe effects up to 10 Hz, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps
open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens.
Color The color mixing system uses continuous dichroic cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY) color filters. It is a subtractive
system that removes color from white light. Inserting all three filters results in loss of light: for maximum brightness,
mix 2 colors at a time.
In addition, two color wheels are provided, each with four removable positions for dichroic glass color filters and a
position for a direct pass through of the beam.
Color temperature correction
The color temperature correction (CTC) system uses a continuous 0 - 178 mireds color filter that lowers the color
temperature from 6000 K to 2900 K.
Motorized zoom
The zoom lens widens the beam from 11° at full spot to 40° at full flood with the standard lens and aperture ring fitted.
BEAM ANGLES
The following tables list the beam angles available with the standard 50 mm (2 in) aperture ring fitted. Note that
narrower beam angles can be achieved by fitting smaller aperture rings. Note that light buster mode provides a high
intensity spot with no diffusion and is engaged when the zoom channel is set to 100%.

For information about changing the lens see “Changing the front lens” on page 21.
Motorized barn-doors
A motorized barn door system that attaches to the front of the fixture is available as a separately orderable accessory.
These barn doors can be rotated, or opened and closed using DMX control signals. Five DMX channels are allocated
for barn door control irrespective of whether or not they are connected to the fixture. We have done this to cover the
possibility that you rig and begin programming your MAC 2000 Wash and add barn doors to it later. If the DMX
channels were not already assigned, you would have to re-patch your console and therefore would lose any
programming already completed.
Aperture adjustment
A 50 mm (2 in) aperture is fitted as standard in the optical path of the fixture just behind the zoom lens. This works
well with the standard Fresnel lens.
Inside the head of the fixture, three additional aperture rings are secured to the chassis by a thumbscrew. When using
the PC lens, the best beam characteristic is achieved by attaching the 45 mm aperture ring. For instructions on
changing the aperture ring see “Changing the aperture ring” on page 22.
Pan and tilt
The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 267°. For maximum positioning accuracy, select 16-bit mode.
The pan/tilt speed (fast, norm, or slow) may be selected on the pan/tilt speed channel. Setting the pan/tilt speed channel
to “blackout” causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving.
Speed control
There are two ways to control the speed at which effects move from one static position to another. These are known as
tracking control and vector control and are selected on the Pan/Tilt Speed and Effect Speed Channels. These channels
are independent so you may, for example, combine a vector control pan movement with a tracking control color fade.
In tracking mode, speed is determined by the cross-fade time. The controller continuously sends small position
changes that the fixture “tracks.” To enable tracking mode, set the relevant speed channel to a tracking value. Note that
in addition to enabling tracking control, some tracking values also provide overrides of the menu settings.
In vector mode, speed is set directly on a speed channel. The cross-fade time must be 0. Vector control provides a way
to set speed on controllers that do not have programmable fade times and results in smooth movement regardless of the
cross-fade time or the controller’s processing power.

CHANGING COLOR FILTERS
Additional color filters can be ordered from Martin.
To ensure the best performance, lenses must be fitted with the coated surface away from the lamp.
To change a color filter:
1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool.
2 Lock the head horizontally with the top cover up.
3 Remove the top cover of the fixture using a flathead screwdriver to unlock the four quarter-turn screws.
4 Remove the two screws holding the color wheel module in place using a Philips screwdriver. Disconnect the
cables and lift the whole module out of the fixture.
5 Remove filters using your fingers and a soft cloth to protect the lens.
