Mania EFX user manual

Introduction

Thank you for selecting a dynamic lighting fixture from the Martin Mania

EFX Series. This series consists of DJ lighting fixtures with a motorized rotating parabolic mirror dish and a motorized rotating gobo wheel (gobos are outlines or masks placed in a light beam). The fixtures project complex moving colored flower effects.

The EFX500 and EFX600 feature an additional mirror drum with motorized pan (swivel) and tilt (rotation) that further enhances beam dynamics. The EFX800 features an additional motorized tilting (rotating) color paddlewheel that further enhances beam dynamics and color.

All Mania EFX fixtures offer the following features:

• Stand-alone single fixture and synchronized (master/slave) operation in auto and music triggering modes

• Adjustable music triggering sensitivity

• DMX control with two DMX modes: DMX mode 2 gives extended functionality on additional channels

• Adjustable focus

The EFX500 uses a long-life 250 watt halogen lamp. All other Mania

EFX fixtures use a long-life 150 watt discharge lamp.

Each Mania EFX fixture must be either:

• fastened to an overhead structure by means of its mounting plate and a

Martin rigging clamp (available from your Martin dealer), or

• fastened to a surface by means of its mounting plate and suitable bolts.

Do not install the fixture by any other means, as this can cause the fixture to overheat.

Ensure that the mounting structure or surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.

Ensure that the fixture is located:

• at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.) away from the surface to be illuminated,

• at least 0.1 meters (4 in.) from any combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.) and

• well away from any flammable materials.

Ensure that the clearance around the fan and air vents is at least 0.1 meters (4 in.) and that airflow is free and unobstructed.

Warning! Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing or servicing the fixture.


Always use a secure means of secondary attachment that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture, looping it

through the attachment point shown at F in “Overview” on page 4. Do not simply pass the secondary attachment around

the mounting plate, as this will leave the fixture unsecured.

B e a m a n g l e s a n d f i x t u r e o r i e n t a t i o n

The fixtures in the Mania EFX series have different optical configurations.

Referring to the illustration below will help you decide how to orient your fixture.

EFX500, EFX600 EFX700 EFX800

S u r f a c e m o u n t i n g

To mount the fixture on a surface, you will need four grade 8.8 (minimum)

8mm diameter, 13mm head hex screwbolts (or similar type fasteners of the same grade and size) and an eyebolt for the safety cable.

Installing the mounting plate separately

Surface mounting is easiest if you detach the mounting plate from the fixture, bolt the mounting plate to the surface, and then reattach the fixture. If you choose this method, access for reattachment and adjustment can be easier if you remove the swivel locks and replace them with two M8 hexagonal lock nuts (P/N 08132701). Install an eyebolt and safety attachment once the fixture is mounted.

Installing the fixture and mounting plate as a unit

If you prefer to install the fixture and mounting plate without separating them:

1. Using the inside back cover of this manual as a guide, drill three holes in the positions marked A.


12

2. Screw three grade

8.8 (minimum)

8mm diameter,

13mm head hex screwbolts or bolts into the holes at A, but do not tighten them fully –allow enough clearance between the bolt head and surface for the 3mm thick mounting plate.

Ø8mm

3. Fold the mounting plate so that it lies flat against the back of the fixture and tighten the swivel locks. For easier access for adjustment, it is possible to remove the swivel locks and replace them with two M8 hexagonal lock nuts,

P/N 08132701).

4. Hold the fixture up to the surface so that the screwbolt heads pass through the centers of the keyholes A in the mounting plate, and slide the fixture to engage the screwbolt heads in the mounting plate.

5. Using one of the remaining holes in the mounting plate as a guide, mark a position for a fourth hole to accept a screwbolt that will lock the fixture in place.

6. Remove the fixture from the surface, drill the fourth hole and replace the fixture on the surface as described in point 4 above. Screw the fourth screwbolt through the mounting plate into the surface to lock the fixture in place, using a washer on the screwbolt if necessary.

7. Install an eyebolt and safety attachment once the fixture is mounted.

O v e r h e a d m o u n t i n g

To hang a fixture on an overhead structure:

1. If using a rigging clamp, ensure that the clamp is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the fixture’s weight. Bolt the clamp securely to the fixture’s mounting plate with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and lock nut through one of the 13 mm holes provided, or as recommended by the clamp manufacturer. The clamp must be attached centrally in the mounting plate to distribute the load evenly.


2. Working from a stable platform, clamp or fasten the fixture to the structure.

3. Install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.

4. Loosen the swivel locks, tilt the fixture to the desired angle, and retighten.

Important!

Check to make sure that the EFX500 and EFX600 mirror drum cable does not rub on the mounting plate. If necessary, reverse the mounting plate (see illustration).

C r e a t i n g a d a t a l i n k f o r D M X a n d s y n c h r o n i z e d o p e r a t i o n

You need a serial data link to:

• run light shows on one or more fixtures using a DMX controller, or

• run synchronized light shows on two or more fixtures (master/slave operation).

Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in one single line, maximum 500 meters (1640 ft.) long, with maximum 32 fixtures on the link. If you wish to exceed 32 fixtures or 500 meters, or to split the link into branches, use an optically isolated amplifier-splitter such as the Martin

RS-485 Opto-Splitter (P/N 90758060).

Reliable data connection requires suitable cable. Standard microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For best results, use cable with at least one twisted pair specifically designed for RS-485 applications. Your Martin dealer can supply suitable high quality cable in various lengths.

C o n n e c t i n g t h e s e r i a l d a t a l i n k

The Mania EFX has XLR data connectors, wired with pin 1 to ground, pin

2 to signal - (cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot). This is the standard configuration for DMX devices.

One or more adaptor cables may be required to connect a Mania EFX fixture to the controller and/or other types of fixture, because some devices may have 5-pin XLR connectors, and others may have reversed


14

signal polarity (pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold). Connector polarity is normally specified on the device or in the device’s user manual.

To connect the data link:

1. Power all devices off.

2. If you intend to use a DMX controller, run a data cable from the DMX controller’s data output to the first fixture’s data IN socket. If the controller has a 5-pin output, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005).

3. If you intend to run fixtures in master/slave operation, insert a female

DMX termination plug (P/N 91613018) in the first fixture’s data IN socket.

4. Plug a data cable into the OUT socket of the first fixture and the IN socket of the next one. Continue connecting up to 32 Mania EFXs output-to-input.

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.

G o b o w h e e l s

All Mania EFX fixtures contain a gobo wheel. Note that it is the whole wheel, and not the individual gobos, that rotates. Rotating gobo image effects are created by the mirror dish.

• The EFX500 has 11 colored gobos plus blackout.

• The EFX600 has 12 colored gobos.

• The EFX700 has 12 colored gobos.

• The EFX800 has 12 gobos. Color is provided by the color paddlewheel.

Operation

G e t t i n g s t a r t e d

Mania EFX fixtures are supplied in DMX mode with DMX address set to 1.

If you want to operate a fixture without a DMX controller, you need to set it

to music trig or auto trig mode before use (see “Selecting DMX, music trig

or auto trig operating modes” on page 18).

P o w e r i n g o n

Once the fixture is correctly and safely installed, power on at the fixture’s power on/off switch. The fixture will start up and reset.

If the fixture resets successfully, the software version installed will appear in the fixture’s display. For example, if software version 1.00 is installed, the message

100

should appear in the display.

Once the fixture has reset, the fixture will display either its DMX address,

901

(music trig mode) or

900

(auto trig mode).

If any other message is displayed, the fixture has detected an error (see

“Error messages” on page 25). If this occurs, switch off, wait a few

seconds and switch on again. If the error message appears again, consult your Martin dealer.

M u s i c t r i g , a u t o t r i g a n d D M X m o d e s

Mania EFX fixtures have three main operating modes:

Music trig mode: In this mode, lighting effects are triggered by music intensity. Multiple fixtures can be synchronized if one master fixture is set to music trig mode and the other fixtures are set to DMX mode.

Auto trig mode: In this mode, the fixture runs a factory-set dynamic light show that uses all the fixture’s effects in a random program. Multiple fixtures can be synchronized if one master fixture is set to auto trig mode and the other fixtures are set to DMX mode.

Operation 17

DMX mode: In DMX mode, fixtures receive control instructions via the serial data link. They will respond to control signals from a DMX controller

(or from another fixture set as master).

S e l e c t i n g D M X , m u s i c t r i g o r a u t o t r i g o p e r a t i n g m o d e s

Fixtures are supplied set to DMX mode with DMX address set to 1. If you intend to operate the fixture without a DMX controller, you need to set the fixture to music trig or auto trig mode.

To switch between DMX, auto trig and music trig modes:

1. Apply power to the fixture and wait while it resets. If the fixture is in DMX mode, the display will show the fixture’s DMX address.

2. Press the [Mode] button once. The fixture enters auto trig mode and

900 appears in the display.

3. Press the [Mode] button again once.

The fixture enters music trig mode, and

The fixture will return to the mode you have set when it is powered off and on.

If you set the fixture to music trig mode but it does not respond satisfactorily to the music beat, adjust the music trig sensitivity level (see

“Adjusting music trig sensitivity” on page 23).

S y n c h r o n i z e d m u s i c t r i g a n d a u t o t r i g o p e r a t i o n

You can set multiple fixtures on a serial data link to respond together to a music trig or auto trig signal from one fixture. This feature allows synchronized operation without a DMX controller. The fixture sending the signal is the ‘master’ fixture and the fixtures that receive the signal are the

‘slave’ fixtures.

Important!

Set only one fixture as master: damage can occur if two masters, or a master and a DMX controller, are linked.


S e t t i n g u p s y n c h r o n i z e d o p e r a t i o n

To set up fixtures for synchronized operation:

1. Ensure that all fixtures on the data link are in DMX mode.

2. Select one fixture to be the master and set it to auto trig or music trig

mode (see “Selecting DMX, music trig or auto trig operating modes” on page 18)

3. When a slave fixture receives signals from the master, it will automatically begin operating in slave mode.

910

will appear in its display and the green Data LED will light to show that the fixture is receiving control data.

If you intend to use a DMX controller, you will need to set the DMX address for each fixture. The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. It is set using the three addressing buttons on the fixture’s control panel.

For individual control, each fixture must be assigned its own DMX address and control channels. Control channels must not overlap with those of other fixtures. Fixtures of the same type with the same DMX address will receive the same instructions and behave identically.

As an example, a Mania EFX500 set to DMX mode 2 will use 9 channels.

If you give it DMX address 100, it will use channels 100, 101, 102, 103,

104, 105, 106, 107 and 108. Channel 109 is available for the next fixture.

The default factory-set DMX address is ‘1’. To set a fixture’s DMX address:

1. Decide on suitable DMX addresses for all the fixtures on the data link (note that 512 channels are available in one DMX universe).

2. Apply power to the fixture and wait while it resets.

DMX addressing buttons


3. Use the three addressing buttons on the fixture’s control panel to enter the DMX address. The [X1] button increases the last digit in the DMX address, the [X10] button increases the address by 10 and the [X100] button increases the address by 100.

Fixtures remember their DMX address when they are powered off and on.

See also the DMX protocols starting on page 38 for an overview of DMX

commands and channels.

Control options

In DMX modes 1 and 2, the following functions can be controlled on all

models:

Strobe effect: A strobe effect with variable flash rate can be selected.

Auto trig: While in DMX mode, the Mania EFX can be remotely set to auto trig.

Reset:

All effects can be reset to their index positions from the controller using channel 1. The reset command must be sent for 5 seconds before it takes effect.

When a fixture is reset via DMX,

800

should appear in the digital display.

Dimming: The Mania EFX500 can be dimmed from 0% (blackout) up to

100% intensity using channel 2. All other Mania EFX fixtures can be dimmed from 0% to 100% using the shutter on channel 1.

Gobo wheel position, rotation and music trig: The gobo wheel can be positioned to project one of the gobos (or at blackout on the EFX500).

The gobo wheel can also be spun in either direction or set to music trig, in which gobos change with the music beat.

Mirror dish rotation and music trig: The mirror dish can be spun in either direction for dynamic projection effects or set to music trig.

In DMX mode 2, the following additional functions can be controlled on two extra channels:

Macros: On the first extra channel, you can select one of twelve factoryset macros. Macros are pre-programmed dynamic shows that use all the fixture’s effects.

Effect speed: On the second extra channel, you can either select the speed at which effects change or select tracking. Selecting a speed allows you to adjust fade times when using DMX controllers that do not

Operation 21

feature fade time programming (a fade time is the time taken for effects to change from one scene to the next). If you select tracking, the DMX controller defines fade times.

EFX500 and EFX600 models only

Pan: The mirror drum pans (swivels) approx. 180°. A pan position can be selected, pan can be set to narrow or wide shake, or pan can be set to music trig.

Tilt: The mirror drum tilts (rotates) 360°. The drum can be held in a stationary position, set to rotate in either direction, set to narrow or wide shake, or set to music trig.

EFX800 models only

Tilt: The color paddlewheel tilts (rotates) 360°. The paddlewheel can be held in a stationary position, set to rotate in either direction, set to narrow or wide shake, or set to music trig.

U n s u r e a b o u t s p e e d a n d t r a c k i n g ?

Set the fixture to tracking if you are using programmed fade times or macros on your DMX controller. Select an effects speed if you are not using programmed fade times or macros on your DMX controller.

However, if you are using fade times on your controller and have set the fixture to tracking, but effects movement is rough and irregular, setting fade times on your controller to zero and selecting an effects speed may give smoother movement.

Effects movement is set to ‘tracking’ if the fixture is in DMX mode 1 and by default.

You can create symmetrical action across multiple EFX500, EFX600 and

EFX800 fixtures in synchronized and DMX operation by inverting the effects movement on some fixtures so that they ‘mirror’ the action of others. When one fixture tilts left, for example, a fixture on the other side of the dance floor can bet set to tilt right.

Inverting tilt on the EFX500, EFX600 and EFX800

To invert tilt (mirror drum rotation on the EFX500 and EFX600, color paddlewheel rotation on the EFX800):

1. Power the fixture on.

Service and maintenance

Mania EFX fixtures require simple routine maintenance. The maintenance schedule depends heavily on the operating environment. Please consult a

Martin service technician for recommendations.

Refer any service procedure not described here to a qualified technician.

Warning! Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing any cover.

C l e a n i n g

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. Check and, if necessary, clean fixtures at regular intervals.

C l e a n i n g t h e f a n a n d a i r v e n t s

To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the fan and air vents periodically.

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.

2. Loosen the lamp cover release thumbscrew and slide and lift the lamp cover out of the fixture housing. Let the cover hang on its safety strap.

3. Remove the four torx screws holding the main cover (see illustration on right) and slide and lift the cover out of the housing. Let the cover hang on its safety strap.

4. Remove dust and dirt from the fan blades and vent grills using a soft brush, cotton swab, vacuum, or compressed air.

5. Reinstall the main cover and lamp cover securely before reapplying power.

Service and maintenance 27

C l e a n i n g o p t i c a l c o m p o n e n t s

wetted with isopropyl alcohol. Regular glass cleaner may also be used, but no residues may remain. To avoid scratches, do not rub. Instead, press repeatedly to lift dirt off surfaces.

4. Any remaining residues or streaking can be removed with distilled water. Mixing the water with a small amount of wetting agent such as

Kodak Photoflo will help prevent streaking and spotting.

5. Dry with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or compressed air.

6. Reinstall all covers before reapplying power.

L a m p r e p l a c e m e n t a n d a d j u s t m e n t

Warning! Wear safety glasses and gloves and allow the fixture to cool for at least 10 minutes before replacing the lamp.

The Mania EFX500 uses a 250 watt halogen lamp. Replace the lamp when it reaches the average life specified by the manufacturer. The halogen lamp has an integral reflector and does not require adjustment when correctly installed.


Important!

Use only this type of lamp. See “Accessories” on page 52 for

details of replacement lamps. Installing any other lamp may damage the fixture.

2. Loosen the lamp cover release thumbscrew enough to slide and lift the lamp cover out of the fixture housing. The lamp cover is attached to the housing with a safety strap.

3. If replacing an old lamp, remove it together with its ceramic socket from the lampholder clip and, being careful not to strain any wires, gently pull the lamp off the socket.

4. Hold the new lamp by its base (do not touch any other part of the lamp). Push the lamp pins squarely into the ceramic socket.

5. If you touched the bulb, the reflector or any optical components, clean them with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth wetted with isopropyl alcohol and dry with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or compressed air.

6. Replace the lamp and socket in the lampholder clip, ensuring that the reflector sits flat against its plate and is held securely in place. When installed correctly, the rim of the reflector locates under the heads of two stop screws so that the reflector is held firmly between these screws and the lampholder clip.

7. Close the lamp cover, checking that no wires are trapped, and retighten the thumbscrew.

Mania EFX fixtures use a slow-blow fuse for protection against current overload. An indication that the fuse may have blown is that when power is applied and the lamp is switched on, no light is produced.

If the fuse blows repeatedly, there is probably a fault. Disconnect the fixture from power and data and contact a Martin service technician.

Never bypass the fuse or replace it with one of another type or rating.

To replace the main fuse:

1. Disconnect the power cable.

2. Pry open the fuse holder next to the power cable inlet with a flat-head screwdriver and remove the fuse.

3. Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating. Fuse ratings are listed on serial number labels

and under “Electrical” on page 50.

4. Replace the fuse holder before reapplying power.


F i r m w a r e a n d h a r d b o o t u p l o a d s

It is possible to upload new firmware to via the data IN connector using, for example, an uploader such as the Martin MP-2 Uploader, or a PC using a

Martin DABS interface device and suitable software. The latest firmware versions for Mania EFX fixtures can be downloaded from the Support area of the Martin website at http://www.martin.com

If a fixture will not accept normal firmware uploads, it can be forced to accept an upload by starting it in hard boot mode. To start in hard boot mode, hold both the [Mode] button and the [X100] button pressed in while powering on the fixture. When the fixture is in hard boot mode, the data

LED blinks.

If you are not sure how to carry out uploads, your Martin dealer will be able to give advice or carry out the upload for you.
