Battery power
Warning! The fixture’s lithium battery is not rechargeable. Do not try to recharge it. If the battery is
discharged, obtain a replacement from your Martin supplier.
The MAC Ultra Performance contains a CR123A 3-volt lithium battery in a compartment G next to the
control panel. The battery gives access to the most important functions in the control panel when the fixture
is not connected to AC power. The following functions are available on battery power:
• DMX address
• Fixture ID
• Personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, fan clean mode, dimming curve, DMX reset, parameter shortcuts, all
display settings, error mode)
• Default settings
• Information (Power On Hours and Power Cycles counters, Software version)
• Error list
To activate the display when the fixture is not connected to power, press the MENU button C . Press again to
enter the menus. The display extinguishes after 10 seconds with no user input and the control panel is
de-activated after 1 minute with no user input. Press the MENU button
C again to re-activate.
Shortcuts
If you hold the MENU button C pressed in for 2 - 3 seconds, a shortcut menu with the most important
commands appears. Select a command with the UP and DOWN buttons D and press the ENTER button E
to activate, or press the MENU button C again to cancel.
• RESET ALL resets the whole fixture
• ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the MAC Ultra Performance display 180°
• FOLLOWSPOT TOGGLE puts the fixture into / takes the fixture out of Followspot Mode (see
‘FOLLOWPOT MODE’ on page 18)
• TOGGLE HOLD POSITION uses the pan and tilt motors to hold the head in its current position – a feature
that is designed to be used in Followspot Mode when the operator wants to hold the head in a static
position for a period.
Settings stored permanently
The following settings are stored permanently in the fixture memory and are not affected by powering the
MAC Ultra Performance off and on or by updating the fixture software:
• DMX address
• Fixture ID
• Personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, dimming curve, DMX reset, effect shortcuts, display settings, error
mode, etc.)
• Resettable and non-resettable counters
• Service settings (adjustment, calibration)
These settings can be returned to factory defaults using the control menus or via DMX.
Activating service mode
Holding the MENU and ENTER buttons C and E both pressed in while powering the fixture on puts the
fixture into service mode, in which pan and tilt are disabled and a SERV warning appears in the display.
Service mode removes the risk of unexpected head movement during service adjustments.
To take the fixture out of SERVICE mode, power the fixture off, then reapply power and allow the fixture to
start normally.
