4 Cyclo 04 DMX user manual
I NTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Martin Cyclo 04 DMX. The Cyclo 04 DMX is a
DMX-controllable, fluorescent color changer. This fixtures is designed to be
used for cove lighting, perimeter lighting, light walls, behind semi-
transparent materials, or any place where room is restricted.
Cyclo 04 DMX is a fixture based on dimmable fluorescent T5 tubes. The T5
tubes have achieved widespread popularity due to their design and high
efficacy combined with their long lamp life.
Cyclo 04 DMX control and power-cables are through-wired for easy
installation.
The Cyclo 04 DMX offers:
• Controllable RGB color-mixing
• Full 0-100% intensity control of the red, green, blue and white tubes
• Bright output
• Long lamp life of 20,000 hours
Note: It is important to read this manual through before you attempt
to install this product.

I NSTALLATION
This section describes in general terms how to install the fixture and
connect it to AC and dimmer power. These procedures shall be performed
by qualified professionals.
To mount the fixture:
1 Loosen the two Philips screws holding the mounting plate to the fixture.
2 Remove the mounting plate from the fixture.

3 Fasten the mounting plate to the mounting surface using four 4 mm (1/6th
in) mounting hardware that is able to bear the 6.7 kg (14.8 lbs) weight of the
fixture.
To ensure adequate ventilation, we recommend that the Cyclo 04 DMX be
installed with a minimum of 25 mm (1 inch) of free space on each side.
Screw the fixture into place using, either:
4 Reattach the fixture to the mounting plate and lock it into place by tightening
the two Phillips screws on the side of the mounting plate.
AC POWER
Maximum power usage data for the Cyclo 04 DMX is supplied in
“Specifications - Cyclo DMX” on page 21.
Warning: Cyclo 04 DMX fixtures incorporate four electronic ballasts that
“leak” a total of between 0.8-4mA of power. Because of this we
recommend connecting a maximum of seven Cyclo 04 DMX
fixtures per phase on a 30mA HPFI circuit breaker.
A normal 30 mA HPFI circuit breaker normally trips because of a
current fault or leakage of approximately 20mA. It is important
that the installation is carried out correctly in order to avoid
unintentional tripping of the circuit breaker.
Many installations use common neutral leads in branch circuit
distribution boxes. It is important that the neutral lead in the
cable is connected to the same HPFI circuit breaker, that it is
not connected to the neutral leads from other HPFI circuit
breakers. The neutral lead must be only associated with that
specific circuit breaker. Additionally it is important that the
fixtures are connected correctly to the ground (earth) to ensure
that the power leakage is able to run off.
You can power Cyclo 04 DMX fixtures by wiring them in series. The internal
wiring of the fixtures carries AC power through the fixture. Male and female
Ensto connectors are provided at opposite ends of the fixture for input and
output cables. AC power is connected into the fixture via the female

EnstoNet Installation System socket and out (to the next fixture) via the
male socket at the other end of the fixture.
Power cabling and connectors are not supplied with the Cyclo 04 DMX but
cabling and connectors in a range of configurations can be ordered from
your local Ensto distributor, or the following connectors and cables are
available from your Martin dealer:

Cyclo 04 DMX fixtures can be powered in series with other Cyclo 04 DMX
fixtures of the same type. When doing this be sure to use a power cable that
is able to handle the 0.56A that is drawn by each fixture in the series.
Data linking multiple fixtures
You need to create a data link if you are going to be:
• Operating multiple Cyclo 04 DMXs in a synchronous way using the stand-
alone functionality
• Controlling more than one fixture via a DMX control device

Creating a data link
The data transmission rate (250 kbits/s) used by DMX512 requires the
selection of a cable which does not significantly distort the signal or give rise
to spurious signal reflections. Cables intended for use with audio systems
(microphone cables), while having the convenience of flexibility, availability
and relative low cost, are NOT suitable for use with DMX512 because of
their high capacitance and incorrect characteristic impedance; at DMX512
data rates this will give rise to bit time distortion and signal
reflections/overshoot.
Cabling systems shall provide a balanced, nominal 120 ohm terminated
transmission line, and be made of cables with a characteristic impedance in
the range 100-120 ohms. The following cabling accesories can be ordered
from your Martin dealer:
CAT5 network cables - 2 m (6.5 ft) x 50 pieces. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . P/N 91611044
CAT5 network cables - 5 m (16.4 ft) x 30 pieces. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . P/N 91611045

Termination Plug RJ-45. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . P/N 91613028
Note: Mixing cables of different impedances and other characteristics
not isolated by buffers or other processing devices may affect
system reliability.
Always use solid or stranded shielded-twisted pair/foiled twisted pair
(STP/FTP), 100 or 120 ohm cables that conform to ISO IEC 11801 category
5 or higher with RJ-45 connectors wired as follows
The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm (24 AWG) for runs up to 300 meters (1000
ft.) and 0.322 mm (26 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft.). Your Martin
dealer can supply the right cable in various lengths.
The: RJ-45 sockets in the Cyclo 04 DMX are wired as follows - pins 7 & 8 to
ground, pin 2 to signal - (cold), and pin 1 to signal + (hot).

Creating the data link
1 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the Cyclo 04 DMX to the RJ-45 connector
on the next Cyclo 04 DMX.
2 Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to 32 devices may be
connected on a serial link.
3 Terminate the link by inserting a an RJ-45 termination plug into the RJ-45
data output of the last fixture.
Warning If you are using Stand-Alone programs (see “Stand-alone
operation” on page 11) on multiple fixtures on a data link and
you experience random “flicker” or other unexplained control
problems, insert a female termination plug (P/N 91613018) into
the IN socket of the first fixture.
FLUORESCENT TUBES
Burning in new tubes
In order to obtain the full 20000 hour life time, new fluorescent tubes must
be burned in for 100 hundred hours at full power.
Identifying tube positions
Tube positions are identified in the Cyclo 04 DMX as follows:

S TAND - ALONE OPERATION
In stand-alone mode, individual Cyclo 04 DMX fixtures can run a set of pre-
programmed shows without an external controller. Multiple Cyclo 04 DMX
fixtures can also be linked together and scene changes on all fixtures can
be synchronously triggered by a “master” fixture.
SET THE FIXTURE TO STAND-ALONE
OPERATION
Stand-alone operation is enabled by setting pin 10 on the DIP switch to ON.
The DIP switch can be accessed by loosing the cover access screw (do not
remove it completely) and sliding open the access plate (as shown in the
following illustration.)

DIP-SWITCH SETTINGS IN STAND-ALONE
MODE
PROGRAM SELECTION
DIP-switch 1 to 4 each controls a single tube, and these DIP-switches can
be combined to activate more than one tube. If DIP-switch 7 is set to OFF
(crossfade@0%) then the tube will turn fully off before it fades in (or
alternatively when more tubes are selected, the next tube will fade in).
If DIP-switch 7 is set to ON (crossfade@50%) the tube will only fade down to
50% before it fades to full again (or alternatively when more tubes are
selected, the next tube will fade in when the first reach 100% and they "will
meet" at 50%)
MASTER/SLAVE
When a fixture is set to master (DIP-switch pin 9 is off), it will transmit a
synchronizing signal to slave fixtures over the data link whenever it changes
to the next scene. Slave fixtures (DIP-switch pin 9 is set on) only change
scenes when they receive synchronization signals from the master fixture.

8 OFF = Run program, ON = Pause program
9 OFF = Master, ON = Slave
10 ON = Stand Alone mode.
Table 1. DIP-switch settings in stand-alone mode

The slave program will be as set by its DIP-switch, so to have a master and
a slave run the same program, their DIP-switch settings have to be the same
(apart from the Master/Slave setting).
The synchronization signal is the same as used by other Martin
Architectural products, so this enables the stand-alone functionality to be
used with a range of other Martin products.
To have a single fixture run alone, it must be set to master. Slave fixtures
must not be connected to more than one master.
Advanced master/slave
To make more advanced schemes, it is important to understand how scenes
are numbered. The scene pattern is always established in the sequence
white to red to green to blue. This means that if white is enabled, it will
always be placed first in the program. When crossfade@0% is selected,
each color takes up two scenes (fade in and fade out). When
crossfade@50% is selected, each color takes up one scene (fade in only).
Scene numbering always starts at 0, and a maximum number of 8 scenes (0
- 7) can be set, with all colors enabled and crossfade@0%.
Each scene can be seen as a translation from one output to another, this
translation is called a fade, and the time of the fade is set by the speed
setting of the DIP-switch. When a fixture is in slave mode, each new fade is
initiated by a synchronization signal received from the master. When the
slave receives a synchronization signal, and initiates a fade, it will not act on
new synchronization pulses, until the fade is complete.
If a slave fixture has:
1 Fewer scenes than the master fixture, it will run these in a cycle
continuously, until the master fixture signals that the program should start
from the beginning again.
2 More scenes than the master, then the additional scenes will never run,
because the program will reset to the first scene when the master starts its
program from the beginning.
Here is an example of what will happen when a slave fixture has fewer
scenes than the master fixture:
Scene pattern
Master with 7 scenes 01234560123456012...
Slave with 3 scenes 01201200120120012...

PROGRAM EXAMPLES
In all programs in these examples each scene lasts for 1 second at full
speed.
The following symbols are used in program diagrams:
/ : Fade in
\ : Fade out
_ : Tube turned fully off.
? : Tube turned fully on.
+ : Tube turned on at min level.
? : Fade to 50% and back to 100% in one scene.
Example 1
DIP-switch 7 is set to OFF = crossfade@0% and only white is selected:
White: /\/\/\/\/\/\
Scene: 010101010101
Example 2
DIP-switch 7 is set to OFF = crossfade@0% and white and red is selected:
White: /\_+/\_+/\_+/\_+/\_+/\_+
Red: _+/\_+/\_+/\_+/\_+/\_+/\
Scene: 012301230123012301230123
Example 3
DIP-switch 7 is set to ON = crossfade@50% and only white is selected:
White: ????????????????
Scene: 0000000000000000
Example 4

DMX OPERATION
The Cyclo 04 DMX may be programmed and operated with any lighting
control device that is compatible with the USITT DMX standard. This section
describes how to operate the system with a controller.
See “DMX protocol” on page 20 for specific control values.
Connecting a DMX control device
Connect a data cable from the Cyclo 04 DMX to the control device’s data
output. If the control device does not have an RJ-45 socket then you may
need to purchase or wire an XLR-to-RJ45 converter. For wiring information
see “Creating a data link” on page 9.
SETTING THE FIXTURE TO DMX
OPERATION
DMX operation is enabled by setting pin 10 on the DIP switch to OFF. The
DIP switch can be accessed by loosing the cover access screw (do not
remove it completely) and sliding open the access plate (as shown in the
following illustration.)

Cyclo 04 DMX user manual 17
Control address selection
The Cyclo 04 DMX requires 4 DMX control channels. The DMX address,
also known as the start channel, is the first control channel used. It is a
logical address to which control instructions are sent. In this way a
controller, can send instructions to a fixture, or fixtures, at a particular
address. For example when using four channels of control data, the Cyclo
04 DMX reads the data on the start channel (DMX address) and the next
three channels. If the DMX address is set to 100, the Imager uses channels
100, 101, 102, 103, and 104.
Be sure to allow adequate channels when setting the control address. If
control channels for one fixture overlap control channels for another fixture,
then one of the fixtures will receive the wrong commands. Two Cyclo 04
DMXs may share the same address if they are to respond identically. They
will receive the same commands and individual control will be impossible.
The default factory set control address is ‘1’.
Setting the DMX address
1 Select an address for the fixture on your controller. Look up the DIP switch
setting for the address in the following table.
2 Set pins 1 through 9 ON (1) or OFF (0) as listed in the table.
3 Ensure that pin 10 is set to OFF.

18 Cyclo 04 DMX user manual
Find the address in the table. Read the settings for pins 1 - 5 to the left and read the
settings for pins 6 - 9 above the address. “0” means OFF and “1” means ON. Pin
10 is always OFF for DMX operation.
