Fiber optic cable 11
F
IBER OPTIC CABLE
5
The FiberSource male adaptor for 50 - 300 strand cables, P/N 91611016 (not
included), is tapered to fit fiber optic cables 8.3 - 19.3 mm (5/16 - 3/4 in.) in
diameter. With cables over 8.3 mm in diameter, the adaptor must be shortened for
proper fit and maximum light output. Please follow the instructions included with
the fiber adaptor.
CABLE CONNECTION
The following guidelines provide a starting point for estimating your needs. Light
transmission through fiber-optic cable depends on its quality and results will vary
depending on the type of cable used.
SIDE-EMITTING CABLE
With 1 fixture, best results are had when the fiber optic cable is 10 m (33 ft.) or
shorter. The length may be increased to 15 m (50 ft.) by looping the cable and
illuminating both ends. With 2 fixtures, one at each end of the cable, lengths up to
30 m (100 ft.) can be achieved.
END-EMITTING CABLE
Light output decreases with length: keep the cable as short as possible. The
maximum recommended length is 25 meters. Cut the light emitting end of the fibers
with a sharp knife for maximum output.
To install fiber optic cable
1 Install the cable in the fiber adaptor according to the instructions packaged
with the adaptor.
2 Insert the adaptor fully into the fiber optic cable socket.
3 Tighten the set screw with a 2 mm (5/64 in.) Allen wrench.

ONTROLLER OPERATION
6
This FiberSource QFX 150 may be operated with any DMX-512 protocol
controller.
DATA CONNECTION
A reliable data connection begins with the right cable. Standard microphone cable
cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For best results, use cable
specifically designed for RS-485 applications. Your Martin dealer can supply high
quality cable in various lengths.
The FiberSource QFX 150’s data sockets are wired pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to signal -
(cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot). This is the standard pin assignment for DMX
devices.
One or more adaptor cables may be required to connect the fixture to the controller
and other devices because many devices have 5-pin connectors and others may have
reversed signal polarity, that is, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold.
To connect the data link
1 Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. If controller has a 5-pin
output, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005).
2 Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture and plug the cable
into the data input.

3 Connect the output of the fixture closest to the
controller to the input of the next fixture. If
connecting to a fixture with reversed-polarity (pin 3
cold), insert a phase-reversing cable between the two
fixtures.
4 Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to
32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
5 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.
ADDRESS SELECTION
A control address must be set using the DIP-switch on the rear panel. The control
address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive
instructions from the controller. The FiberSource QFX 150 uses 5 DMX channels.
Each fixture must be assigned its own address and non-overlapping control
channels for individual control. Two FiberSource QFX 150s may share the same
address, but they will respond identically and individual control will not be
possible.
Important! Disconnect the fixture from power before changing the DIP-
switch setting. Changes take effect after the fixture has been
turned off and back on.
To set the address
1 Select an address for the fixture between 1 and 508 on your controller.
2 Look up the DIP-switch setting for the address on page 14.
3 Disconnect the fixture from power.
4 Set pins 1 through 9 to the ON (1) or OFF (0) position as listed in the table.
5 Set pin 10 to the OFF position.

Controller operation 15
CONTROLLABLE EFFECTS
LAMP POWER AND RESET
The lamp on command is on channel 1, the address channel. When set up for
controller operation, the lamp remains off until a lamp-on command is sent.
A peak of electric current many times the operating current is drawn briefly when
striking a lamp. Striking many discharge lamps at once may cause a voltage drop
that prevents lamps from striking or trips circuit breakers. When striking multiple
fixtures, space lamp on commands at 5 second intervals.
The lamp can be turned off as well, but then it must be allowed to cool for several
minutes before it can be turned back on. To prevent accidental lamp off commands,
this command only works when the dimmer is closed (ch. 2 < 3) and the twinkle
effect is rotating slowly CCW (ch. 4 > 252). If a hot lamp does not strike, send the
lamp off command and wait several minutes before trying again.
All effects reset to their home positions when the fixture is powered up. There is
also a reset command on channel 1. To prevent accidental resets, the command must
be sent for 5 seconds.
DIMMER
The intensity of the light is controlled from full-off to full-on on channel 2.
COLOR
The color wheel is controlled on channel 3. You can program split-color effects with
continuous scroll, stick to full color positions using stepped scroll, and rotate the
wheel continuously. The speed at which colors fade from one position to another
can be controlled on channel 5, the speed channel.
TWINKLE
The speed and direction of the twinkle effect is controlled on channel 4. When
stopped, the effect wheel returns to its home position where there is a removable
section. The light output can be made more uniform if the twinkle effect is not used
by removing this section.
FADE SPEED
Channel 5 controls the speed of the color wheel, allowing you to achieve variable
fades on controllers without cross-faders. If your controller has cross-faders, and
you use them, then set channel 5 to 0 (tracking), for best results.

CONTROL OPTIONS
The FiberSource QFX 150 can be operated without a controller in stand-alone
mode. This mode provides various combinations of color and twinkle effect that are
selected using DIP-switch pins 1 - 7.
The twinkle effect may by set to off, slow, medium, or fast using DIP-switch pins 1
and 2. If the twinkle effect is not required, a section of the effect wheel can be
removed to increase the uniformity of the output: refer to “To remove or replace the
twinkle wheel section” on page 19.
The speed at which the color wheel moves from one color to the next may be set to
snap, slow, medium, or fast using DIP-switch pins 3 and 4. This setting has no effect
if white or color 1 is selected.
The color or colors are selected using DIP-switch pins 5, 6, and 7. You can select
white, color 1 (position 1), a range of colors, and continuous rotation. If continuous
color wheel rotation is selected, then the color change speed must be slow, medium,
or fast.
If a range of colors is selected, the color wheel holds at position 1 for 1 second,
moves to position 2 at the selected change speed, holds for 1 second, and so on.
When the last position is reached, the color wheel reverses direction. Colors can be
arranged in any order as described under “To change color filters” on page 19.
To set stand-alone behavior
1 Disconnect the fixture from power.
2 Set DIP-switch pins 1 - 7 on or off as shown in the table below to achieve the
desired combination of effects.
3 Set pins 8 and 9 to off. Set pin 10 to on.
4 Apply power to the fixture.
The option setting will take effect and the lamp will automatically strike. Note,
however, that a hot lamp must cool for several minutes before it can be restruck. If
the lamp does not strike, disconnect the fixture from power for several minutes to
reduce strain on the starter while the lamp cools.

SLAVE OPERATION

Several FiberSource QFX 150s may be connected together for synchronous
operation without a controller. They are connected together and one, the master, is
set up in stand-alone mode and sends control instructions to the others. Up to 32
fixtures can be can be connected and operated this way.
Important Verify that all slave fixtures are set as described. Damage can
be caused if there is more than 1 device (master fixture or
controller) sending control signals on the serial data link.
To connect and set fixtures for master/slave operation
1 Disconnect all fixtures from power.
2 Plug a 3-pin XLR data cable into the OUT socket of the first fixture and the IN
socket of the next fixture.
3 Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to 32 FiberSource QFX 150s
may be connected.
4 Terminate the data link on
both ends. Insert a female
termination plug (P/N
91613018) into the IN socket
of the first fixture. Insert a
male termination plug (P/N
91613017) into the OUT
socket of the last fixture. A
termination plug is an XLR
connector with a 120 ohm,
0.25 W resistor soldered
across pins 2 and 3.
5 Select any one fixture to be the master. Set the desired stand-alone options
using the master’s DIP-switch as described on page 16.
6 On all other fixtures (slaves), set DIP-switch pin 1 to the ON position; set all
other DIP-switch pins to the OFF position.
7 Apply power to the fixtures.

The FiberSource QFX 150 requires simple routine maintenance. The maintenance
schedule depends heavily on the operating environment; please consult a Martin
service technician for recommendations.
Any service procedure not described here should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Warning! Disconnect the fixture from power before removing any cover.
Important! Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades
performance and causes overheating and damage to the fixture
that is not covered by the warranty.
To change color filters
1 Disconnect the fixture from power. Remove the lamp access cover.
2 Turn the color wheel by hand until the desired filter is accessible.
3 Using a soft cloth or gloves, gently tilt the outside edge of the filter back
towards the lamp to unlock. Remove filter.
4 To place a filter in the wheel, insert the plastic holder between the spring clip
with the protruding tab facing forwards until it snaps into place.
5 Replace the lamp access cover before applying power.
To remove or replace the twinkle wheel section
The twinkle wheel has a removable section for uniform light output when the effect
is not used.
1 Disconnect the fixture from power. Remove the lamp access cover.
2 Turn the twinkle wheel by hand until the removable section is aligned with the
cable socket. Turn the color wheel so that the open position is aligned with the
cable socket.
3 Support the twinkle wheel with one hand and unlock the removable section by
pulling the outside edge back towards the lamp. Grasp the section and pull it
up and out.
4 To replace the section, turn the wheel to the open position and slide the section

the cable socket. Center the section and then support the wheel with a finger
from the front as you press the 2 screw heads through the wheel.
5 Replace the lamp access cover before applying power.
To clean optical components
Use care when cleaning optical components. The surface of the color filters is
fragile and small scratches may be visible.
1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool completely. Remove the
lamp access cover.
2 Blow or vacuum away loose dust. Remove residues from filters with a soft cloth
or cotton swabs wetted with isopropyl alcohol. 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 clean the fan and air vents
To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the fan and air vents
periodically.
1 Disconnect the fixture from power.
2 Remove dust and dirt from the fan blades and vent grills using a soft brush,
cotton swab, vacuum, or compressed air.
To replace the main fuse
1 Unplug the mains cable from the input socket. Pry open the fuse holder as
shown.
2 Remove the defective fuse and replace it with one of the same type and rating.
3 Replace the fuse holder in the mains input socket.
