I NTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Martin™ MAC 250 Krypton™ or MAC 250 Entour™.
• Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically. • Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection. • Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture. • Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician. PROTECTION FROM UV RADIATION AND LAMP EXPLOSION • Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or covers.
SETUP Unpacking The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour comes with: • MSD 250/2 lamp (factory installed) • 3-meter, 3-wire IEC power cable • user manual • 1/4-turn clamp mounting bracket • 5-meter, 3-pin shielded XLR control cable The MAC 250 Entour also comes with an extra 14° lens. The packing material or flightcase is carefully designed to protect the fixture during shipment - always use it to transport the fixture.
CONFIGURING FOR LOCAL AC POWER Frequency 50 60 Voltage 250 230 210 100 120 Figure 1: Power supply settings 1. Disconnect the fixture from power. 2. Remove the 2 Phillips screws in the access cover directly behind the power and data connectors. Lift off the cover. 3. Locate the selection switches. 4. Move the voltage switch to the setting that most closely matches the local AC voltage. If your voltage falls halfway between 2 settings, select the higher voltage.
Installation LOCATION AND ORIENTATION The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour may be installed in any orientation. It can be fastened directly to a suitable surface, hung with a rigging clamp, or placed directly on a level surface. For safe operation, install the MAC 250 Krypton/Entour in a location where: • the fixture is at least 1 meters (39 inches) away from combustible materials • the fixture is protected from rain and moisture • there is at least 0.
5. Install a safety cable that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture securely to the structure and anchor the cable to the dedicated attachment point on the base. The attachment point is designed to fit a carabiner clamp. 6. 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.
CONTROL PANEL You set the address and personalities, read out data, and execute service utilities from the control panel. Settings can also be changed remotely via the serial link with the Martin MP-2 uploader. See also the control menu table starting on page 43. Menu navigation The DMX address and any error messages are displayed after the fixture resets. To enter the menu, press [menu]. Use the [up] and [down] keys to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press [enter].

Pan/tilt speed is set to by default. • , the effects speed menu, provides 3 settings: , and (Pan Tilt Speed Slave). The and settinsg are similar to (see above). If set to , effects speed copies the pan/tilt speed setting.
LAMP STRIKES Read the total number of lamp strikes (→→→), and the number of lamps strikes since the counter was last reset (→→→). Reset this counter when installing a new lamp. Press [up] for 5 seconds while displayed to reset. FIRMWARE VERSION → displays the firmware version number. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at startup.
UPLOAD MODE The upload mode command (→) prepares the fixture for a software update. This command is not necessary, however, as upload mode is engaged automatically by the uploader.
DMX-512 CONTROL The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The full protocol is available in “DMX protocol” on page 35. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit Extended mode uses 17 DMX channels, three more than the 14 DMX channels than standard 16-bit mode requires. 16-bit Extended mode provides more precise control of the dimmer color, and focus settings. All other functions are identical. See “DMX protocol” on page 25.
angle or rotation speed are selected on channel 5 (channel 7 in 16-bit Extended mode). Fine tuning of this index position or rotation is available on channel 6 (channel 8 in 16-bit Extended mode). The gobo wheel can also rotate continuously in both directions at variable speed. FIXED GOBOS (MAC 250 ENTOUR ONLY) The MAC 250 Entour provides an additional wheel with 10 fixed gobo positions (plus open). The gobo and the type of movement are selected on channel 7 (channel 9 in 16-bit Extended mode).
VECTOR CONTROL Alternatively, with vector control, effects movement speed is determined by the values selected on the speed channels. This makes it possible to modify the speed of cross-fades when using a controller that does not offer cross-fade speed control. Vector control also provides smoother movement, particularly at slow speeds, with controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates. When using vector control, the cross-fade time on the controller must be set to 0.
OPTICAL CONFIGURATION GOBO ORIENTATION The orientations shown in Figure 3 are correct in most cases, but consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier if you are in any doubt about the orientation of a specific gobo type. Coated Glass Gobos More reflective side towards lamp Less reflective side away from lamp To minimize the risk of gobo overheating and damage, the more reflective side of a coated gobo must normally face towards the lamp.
CUSTOM GOBOS Custom glass gobos for the MAC 250 Krypton/Entour should be made so that the artwork is reversed when viewed from the lamp side (i.e. looking at the more reflective side). Consult your supplier for advice, if necessary. Gobo types and dimensions are specified in on “Gobos” on page 51. Rotating gobos The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour accepts up to eight metal or glass gobos with an outside diameter of 22.5 mm and a maximum image diameter of 17 mm.
REPLACING A GOBO Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials. The exterior of the fixture can get very hot - up to 120° C (248° F).
