Installing or changing the lamp
W A R N I N G !
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. ,QVWDOOLQJꢀDQ\ꢀRWKHUꢀODPSꢀPD\ꢀGDPDJHꢀWKHꢀIL[WXUHꢁꢀThe lamp holder is pre-adjusted at the

Powering the fixture
W A R N I N G !
For protection from dangerous 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.
Check voltage and frequency settings

Rigging
W A R N I N G !
Use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both fasteners.
The 1/4-turn fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.
Attach an approved safety cable to the base.
The MAC 500/E can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss. The integrated Fast-
Lock system enables quick and easy fastening of the clamp adapters in 4 different positions as shown below. See
page 35 for a list of suitable clamps available from Martin.
1. Verify that the rigging clamps (not included) are undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight
of the fixture. Bolt the clamps securely to the clamp brackets with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and
lock nut, or as recommended by the clamp manufacturer.
2. Tip the MAC 500/E on its side or install the clamps while the fixture is in the flight case.
3. Align a clamp with 2 mounting points. Insert the fasteners into the base and turn both levers a
full 1/4-turn clockwise to lock. Install the second clamp.
4. Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps,
cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.

5. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss. The front of the fixture is indicated
by the arrow on the base.
6. 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. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attach-
ment.
7. Tighten the rigging clamps securely to the structure.
8. Verify that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to be illuminated within 1 meter of the
fixture, and that there are no flammable materials nearby.
I M P O R T A N T !
When rigging the fixture within 1 meter of other fixtures, avoid illuminating
one fixture with another. The intense light can melt plastic parts.
Connecting the serial link
Tips for building a serial link
1. Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot
transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For links up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) long, you can use 24
AWG, low capacitance, 85-150 ohm characteristic impedance, shielded cable with 1 or more twisted
pairs. For runs up to 500 meters (1640 ft.) use 22 AWG cable. Use an amplifier if the serial link
exceeds 500 meters.
2. Never use a “Y” connector 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.
3. Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
4. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture on the
link. The termination plug, which is simply a male XLR connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 watt
resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect back
down the link and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
Connecting fixtures
The MAC 500/E has locking 3-pin data input and output sockets that can be configured for use with either DMX or
Martin Protocol controllers. 7KHꢀGHIDXOWꢀSLQꢂRXWꢀLVꢀFRQILJXUHGꢀWRꢀWKHꢀ'0;ꢂꢃꢄꢅꢀVWDQGDUG, i.e., pin 1 to shield, pin 2

DMX controller with 5-pin output: use a cable with 5-pin male and 3-pin female connectors such
as P/N 11820005. Pins 4 and 5 are not used.
DMX controller with 3-pin output: use a cable with 3-pin male and female connectors such as the
one supplied.
Martin RS-485 Protocol controller: use a phase-reversing cable, such as P/N 11820006, with 3-
pin male and female connectors or reconfigure the XLR output.
2. Continue the link: connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the
next fixture. Use a phase-reversing cable when connecting a DMX-standard (pin 3 +) device to a
Martin-standard (pin 3 -) device.
3. Insert a male 120 Ω XLR termination plug in the output of the last fixture on the link.

OPERATION
This section describes the MAC 500/E’s controllable effects and the options for customizing them for your application.
Option selection is described in the next section.
Martin RS-485 control
The MAC 500/E may be controlled with the Martin 3032 controller with version 2.04 or later software. To respond to
the controller, either the protocol setting (PSET) must be set to Martin (MART) as described in the previous section,
or automatic protocol detection (SPEC/AUTO) must be enabled. If automatic protocol detection is enabled, send a
dummy command and wait 1 second to allow the fixture to respond before sending real commands.
DMX-512 control
The MAC 500/E may be operated with USITT DMX512 controllers in 4 modes that combine tracking or tracking/vec-
tor movement with 8-bit or 16-bit pan/tilt resolution.
Tracking control
Tracking is available in all 4 DMX modes. With tracking control, the controller calculates the positions along the path
between an effect’s starting point and it’s ending point. It uses the fade time to calculate the change (delta) of each
update or refresh, which the fixture “tracks.” For smooth movement with any fade time, the MAC 500/E has a filter
algorithm that looks at several position updates (samples), and calculates the ideal speed.
This algorithm is adjustable to compensate for controllers that calculate position changes unevenly. In most cases the
default settings work well.
If movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parameters that can be adjusted. The first is the calculation method used and
is selected under SPEC/TRAC/MOdE. MOd1, the default, calculates speed based on the absolute value of the
change in DMX; it is the best choice with controllers that calculate intermediate positions that are close to the line of
travel. MOd2uses the real value of the DMX delta to calculate speed and 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 SPEC/TRAC/CAL. Increasing the number of samples increases the distance over which speed is calcu-
lated, making movement smoother but less responsive to sudden changes.
The ideal settings for both parameters will vary from controller to controller: experiment for best results. The real
value algorithm (MOd2) is recommended when using the MAC 500/E with the Martin Lighting Director system.
Vector control
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. )RUꢀVPRRWKꢀPRYHPHQWꢄꢀWKHꢀIDGHꢀWLPHꢀPXVWꢀEHꢀVHWꢀWRꢀꢃꢄꢀLꢊHꢊꢄꢀWKHꢀHIIHFWꢀ³EXPSV´
RUꢀ³VQDSV´ꢀIURPꢀRQHꢀSRVLWLRQꢀWRꢀWKHꢀQH[Wꢊ 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 controller’s processing power.
The speed channels allow vector control to be turned off, resulting in tracking control. In addition, they offer a “black-
out speed,” described below, and overrides of the PTSP(pan/tilt speed), MOdE(studio mode), and SCUT(short-
cuts) 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.
Operation

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/dRES) 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 (SPEC/EFFb) to OFF.
General operation may be optimized for speed or quietness with the studio mode setting (SPEC/MOdE). The menu
setting may be overridden via DMX using the effects speed channel in DMX modes 3 and 4.
Lamp
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 (SPEC/ALON) 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 control-
ler. 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 (SPEC/dLOF) 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. %HꢀFDUHIXO: 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
(PTSP) personality to FAST, or for smoothness by setting it to SLOW. 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 (PATI) menu.
Color wheels
The MAC 500/E has 2 9-position-plus-open color wheels, yielding a total of 100 possible combinations. The 4 temper-
ature 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 (SPEC/SCUT) 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.
Focus
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 (SPEC/gMOd/FIX), the wheel steps between fixed positions and shakes at variable
speeds. In “scroll” mode (SPEC/gMOd/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 (SPEC/SCUT) setting determines whether the gobo wheel takes the shortest path to the next posi-
tion 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.
Iris
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 (SPEC/dMAC) off. The iris reflection reduction set-
ting (SPEC/IRR) 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 (SPEC/dMAC) 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 (SPEC/ FTYP) must be set to “FROS” 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 (SPEC/dMAC) off.
The Dimmer Mode (SPEC/dMOd) setting allows you to select between linear or simulated tungsten fade curves.
The fade time must be 0 to simulate tungsten dimming.

Address and protocol selection
One of the operating modes shown below must be selected. Factors to consider when selecting a mode will depend on
your controller and are discussed in the previous section. Maximum flexibility is provided in mode 4.
Each fixture must be assigned its own channels to receive instructions from the controller. The address, also known as
the start channel, is the first channel used. Addresses are independent of the physical link: they may be set in any con-
venient order. Two MAC 500/Es may share the same address; however, they will receive the same instructions and
independent control will not be possible.

GOBOS AND COLOR FILTERS
The MAC 500/E has 5 rotating positions for glass or metal gobos, 9 static positions for metal gobos, and 9 positions
for interchangeable dichroic glass color filters in special holders. This section describes how to replace these items.
Gobo specifications
For best results, MAC 500/E gobos should meet the following specifications.
Glass gobos
•
•
•
•
•
Coating: ................................................................................................. dichroic or enhanced aluminum
Material: ........................................................................................high temperature, Borofloat or better
Thickness:............................................................................................................................. 1.1- 4.0 mm
Outside diameter:........................................................................................................ 27.9 + 0 /- 0.3 mm
Maximum image diameter:............................................................................................................23 mm
Glass gobos should be made with the artwork reversed on the coated side. This orientation gives the best focus but is
not critical. We do not recommend using chrome-coated glass gobos in the MAC 500/E. They absorb more heat than
enhanced aluminum gobos and are likely to break or oxidize. If used, their lifetime can be extended somewhat by
inserting the gobos with the coated side towards the lamp.
Metal gobos
•
•
•
•
Material: ...................................................................................................................................aluminum
Thickness:.....................................................................................................................................0.5 mm
Outside diameter:........................................................................................................ 27.9 + 0 /- 0.3 mm
Maximum image diameter:............................................................................................................23 mm
*Steel metal gobos may give acceptable short term performance. Gobos less than 0.5 mm thick may need to be secured
with a drop of high temperature silicone adhesive when used in the static positions.

For correct projection of text and images, the side with the true image must be installed facing in, towards the lamp.
For best focus, the coated side of glass gobos should face out, away from the lamp. Textured glass gobos must be
inserted with the smooth side facing in, towards the lamp.

When an object is held up to the uncoated side,
there is a space between the object and its reflec-
tion. The edge can be seen through the uncoated
side.

Metal and image gobos
The metal gobos supplied with the MAC 500/E may be used in either wheel. They are black on one side to reduce
reflections; the black side must face out, away from the lamp. For correct projection of text and images, the side with
the true image must be installed facing in, towards the lamp.

Loose rotating gobo fix
If a rotating gobo becomes a little loose and spins in the holder (losing its indexed position), remove the gobo, apply
three dots of red, high-temperature silicone (P/N 37001201) in the holder recess, and let the silicone harden before
replacing the gobo. The additional friction will keep the gobo from spinning.

Changing rotating gobos
W A R N I N G !
Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing any cover.
Without tools
2. Turn the gobo wheel until the easiest access to the desired gobo position is obtained. Turn the
color wheel until the open position is over the gobo position.
3. Tilt the head so the lens points down. Push the gobo and retaining spring out of the back of the
holder. Avoid letting the spring and gobo fall into the head.
4. Insert the new gobo. See below for proper gobo orientation.
5. Insert the retaining spring with the bend facing out, away from the gobo. Working through the
open position in the color wheel, push the gobo and spring all the way down into the gobo
holder.
With needlenose pliers
With a little practice, this method is faster than the above method.
1. Turn the gobo wheel until the easiest access to the desired gobo position is obtained. Turn the color
wheel until the open position is over the gobo position.
2. Turn the gobo holder until you can see the tab on the holder retaining spring.
3. Grip the tab on the retaining spring with a pair of small (needlenose) pliers. Place your index fin-
ger over the spring to prevent it from falling into the fixture. Open the spring and remove it from
the gobo holder.
4. Remove the gobo holder from the bearing by pulling it forwards towards the lens.
5. Push the gobo and gobo retaining spring out of the holder.
6. Insert the new gobo. See below for proper gobo orientation. Insert the gobo retaining spring.
The bend in the spring faces out, away from the gobo. Push the gobo and spring all the way
down into the gobo holder.
7. Replace the gobo holder in the bearing. Do not force the holder into the bearing: it will go in eas-
ily if it is installed straight.
8. Grip the retaining ring by the tab with the pliers. Place your thumb on the back of the gobo
holder to press it all the way down in the bearing and use your index finger to hold the other end
of the spring on the holder. Open the spring and place it in the groove.
Changing static gobos
2. Manually turn the fixed-gobo wheel until the desired gobo is accessible. Turn the color wheel
until the open position aligns with the gobo.
3. Using your forefinger, release the gobo by pushing in back slightly towards the lamp. Grasp the
gobo by bringing your thumb to the back, and slide the gobo out of the wheel.
4. To place a gobo in the wheel, first turn the gobo so that the black side faces the front and the
reflective side faces the lamp. Then, using your thumb and forefinger, slide the gobo into posi-
tion between the spring clips on the back of the gobo wheel.
5. Verify that the gobo is fully seated in the recessed groove by gently sliding it back and forth. If
the gobo is seated correctly, you will be able to feel a tiny amount of movement.

MAINTENANCE AND BASIC SERVICE
The MAC 500/E operates under challenging conditions presented by heat, humidity, dust, and touring. It requires reg-
ular cleaning and lubrication to keep performing at its peak. The maintenance schedule will depend heavily on the
application and should be discussed with your Martin technician. This section describes basic maintenance. Refer any
service procedure not described here to a qualified technician.
I M P O R T A N T !
Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and
causes overheating and damage to the fixture that is not covered by the war-
ranty. If you do not feel completely competent to perform the service, consult
qualified service personnel.

MAC 500 E Transformer Settings
Updating software
The latest software for the MAC 500/E is available from your Martin dealer and the Martin Professional web site.
Please read the update notes bundled with the software. Update software is uploaded to the MAC 500/E using a Martin
uploader such as the MBPP1, or MP-2.
Normal upload
Connect the uploader to the fixture just like a controller. Under normal conditions, software can be installed from a
remote location - there is no need to set the MAC 500/E to boot mode. Please refer to the uploader manual for further
instructions.
Boot mode upload
If the data is corrupted during transmission, a check-sum error (CSER) will occur and after 15 seconds the fixture will
automatically switch to boot mode (UPLd) and be ready for a boot-mode upload as described below and in the
uploader manual.
If a software upload to the MAC 500/E is interrupted, the fixture must be powered off for at least 10 seconds before a
new upload can be attempted. When powered on, a check-sum error will occur and it will automatically go into boot
mode, ready for a second upload attempt. Select boot mode upload on the uploader.

1. Remove the printed circuit board. It may not be neces-
sary to unplug the connectors.
2. Position jumper PL121 to upload mode (INIT) as shown. See also the circuit board layout dia-
3. Plug in unplugged connectors, apply power to the MAC 500/E, and proceed with the upload.
Refer to the uploader manual for instructions.
4. After the upload, disconnect the fixture from the electricity, move the jumper back to the normal
setting, and replace the circuit board.
Changing lenses
Accessory lenses are available to change the standard 17° beam angle to 23.5°. Both the focus lens and the front lens
must be changed.
1. Remove the top and bottom head covers.
2. Unscrew and remove the front lens from chassis. Move the dimmer blades out of the way.
3. Slide the focus assembly forward, grasp the focus lens and turn it 60° counterclockwise to
unlock. (A service tool is available, see the list of accessories on page 35.) Pull the lens out of
the moving bracket.
4. Find the small round notch in the rim of the new focus lens. Turn the lens so that the tabs align
with the holes in the bracket and the small notch is at 10 o’clock.
5. Insert the new focus lens squarely into the bracket. Turn the lens 60° clockwise until the locking
spring snaps into the notch in the rim.
6. Set the new front lens on the front of the chassis and replace the screws.
7. Replace the top and bottom covers.
Replacing the lamp
The risk of lamp explosion increases with lamp hours as the quartz envelope gradually weakens. It is recommended
that lamp usage not exceed 125 percent of the lamp’s rated average life.
The procedure for installing the lamp is described on page 5. After installing the lamp, reset the lamp usage counters as

Optimizing lamp alignment
The lamp alignment is set at the factory. If, the light distribution is uneven, lamp alignment may be adjusted as follows.
A 3 mm Allen wrench is required.
1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power supply and allow the lamp to cool for 15 minutes.
2. Make a preliminary adjustment: remove the lamp assembly and turn the 3 lamp adjustment
screws to position the lamp-socket plate a distance of 38 mm (1.5”) from the access plate (out-
side measurement) as shown. Replace the lamp assembly.
lamp adjustment screws (3 mm Allen)
3. Switch on the MAC 500/E and allow it to reset. Using either a controller or the control panel,
strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface.
4. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) by turning the 3 adjustment screws. Turn
one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image. If there is no
hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.
5. To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise 1/4-turn at a time
until the light is evenly distributed.
6. If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is
too far back in the reflector. “Push” the lamp out by turning the screws counterclockwise 1/4-turn
at a time until the light is bright and evenly distributed.
Installing the optional head shell safety wire
An optional wire (P/N 50300502) for secondary attachment of the
plastic shells is available. Two wires are required per fixture. The
wire has a closed loop at one end and a hook at the other end. To
secure the shell:
1. Remove the head shells as described above.
2. Place the closed loop under a washer and screw in the
lamp housing counterweight as shown. Replace the
washer and screw and tighten well.
3. Loop the wire around a cross rib between the shell
ventilation slots and hook the wire to itself. Do not
attach the hook directly to the plastic rib.
Maintenance schedule
The maintenance schedule will depend heavily on the application and should be discussed with your Martin techni-
cian. Cleaning, lubricating and servicing the fixture is best left to a qualified technician. He has the knowledge, experi-
ence, tools, lubricants and other materials required to keep the MAC 500/E performing at its best.

Cleaning
Optical components
Be very careful when cleaning the optical components. The colored surface on the dichroic filters is achieved by
means of special multi-layer coatings and even small scratches may be visible. Residues from cleaning fluids can bake
onto components and ruin them.
1. Allow the components to cool completely.
2. Wash dirty lenses and filters with isopropyl alcohol. A generous amount of 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.
Fans
To ensure proper cooling of the fixture, it is important that the fans are free of dust. Vacuum or gently wipe the fans
clean if they are dirty.
Lubrication
Use only Martin silicone lubricant, P/N 37302003 (500 ml) or P/N 37302004 (200 ml, in applicator bottle), to lubricate
the MAC 500/E. No other lubricant is approved for use. Be careful not to get oil on drive belts or other parts.
The focus mechanism slides back and forth on 2 metal pins. These pins must be lubricated periodically with a drop or
two of silicone oil. Check the focus mechanism whenever the head is open for service and lubricate the slides if move-
ment is rough or noisy, or if the slides seem dry.
Check the rotating-gobo bearings whenever the unit is being serviced and lubricate them if movement is rough or
noisy. Apply a few drops of oil to the bearings from above. Avoid applying excess lubricant and be careful not to get
oil on the other parts.
Depending on conditions, these bearings may need to be cleaned and lubricated periodically by a qualified technician.
Apply several drops of
silicone lubricant.
Apply 1 - 2 drops of
silicone lubricant.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Probable cause(s)
No power to fixture.
Remedy
Check that power is switched on and cables
are plugged in.
One or more of the fixtures
is completely dead.
Primary fuse blown (located at the mains
inlet cable).
Disconnect fixture and replace fuse.
Secondary fuse(s) blown (located on
PCB inside base).
Disconnect fixture. Check fuses on PCB and
replace.
The controller is not connected.
Connect controller.
Fixtures reset correctly but
all respond erratically or not
at all to the controller.
XLR pin-out of the controller does not
match pin-out of the first fixture on the
link (i.e. signal is reversed).
Install a phase-reversing cable between the
controller and the first fixture on the link.
Inspect connections and cables. Correct poor
connections. Repair or replace damaged
cables.
Bad data link connection

last fixture on the link.
Incorrect addressing of the fixtures.
Check fixture address and protocol settings.
Fixtures reset correctly but
some respond erratically or
not at all to the controller.
Bypass one fixture at a time until normal oper-
ation is regained: unplug the XLR in and out
connectors and connect them directly
together. Have the fixture serviced by a quali-
fied technician.
One of the fixtures is defective and dis-
turbs data transmission on the link.
Install a phase-reversing cable between the
fixtures or swap pins 2 and 3 in the fixture that
behaves erratically.
XLR pin-out on fixtures does not match
(pins 2 and 3 reversed).
