Control menu service utilities

Fixture reset

The RST command in the MAN menu resets the fixture and can be used as a first remedy if an error

occurs.

Software upload

The MAC 401 Dual™ software can be installed and updated by the user. Software updates are available for

download on the Product Support pages of the Martin website at www.martin.com

The following are required in order to install software:

• A PC running Windows 98/2000/XP

• The latest version of the MAC 401 Dual™ software, available for download from www.martin.com

• The Martin™ Software Uploader Application, available for download from www.martin.com

• A Martin Universal USB/DMX Interface device (P/N 90702045) with USB and 5-pin male/male XLR cables

(supplied with the device).

Use the

UPLD command in the SERV menu to prepare the fixture for a software upload.

Testing

A series of test commands are available in the TEST menu, these enable:

• Testing both effects (LED and zoom) and movement at same time

• Testing the LED effects and zoom only

• Testing movement only

• Lighting all segments of the display for five seconds

Fixture readouts

DMX input signal

The DMXL menu lets you view the DMX values received on each channel. If the fixture does not behave

as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.

Fixture status

The MAC 401 Dual™ gives fixture status readouts in the INFO menu:

• Current software/firmware version information is available for the main processor in the base, and for the

processors in each of the installed LED modules (one or two).

• The

POHR counters display hours with power on. The RSET counter displays hours since the counter

was last reset, and the non-resettable

TOTL counter displays hours since the fixture was manufactured.

• Temperature readouts from the main PCB in the base as well as the average temperature of driver and

pixel (i.e. LED) PCBs in the head are available. In each case, you can view the current temperature, the

maximum temperature reached since the readout was last reset, and the maximum temperature reached

since manufacture.

Lubrication

In general, the MAC 401 Dual™ does not require lubrication. However, depending on use conditions, the

moving parts in the head and zoom mechanisms may eventually require reapplication of lubricant.

Excessive noise during pan/tilt and zoom movement is a sign that lubrication may be required. This

operation can be carried out by a Martin service partner if necessary.
