Using the fixture
Before using the fixture, download and read the latest version of the MAC Ultra Performance User Guide
from the MAC Ultra Performance area of the Martin website at www.martin.com. The User Guide contains
details of:
• The effects available in the fixture.
• The control options available using DMX and/or RDM.
• The setup, monitoring and control options available using the onboard control and display panel.
• Software service functions.
Warning! Before applying power to the fixture:
• Read the safety information section of this manual starting on page 4.
• Read “Applying power” on page 12.
• Check that the installation is safe and secure.
• Check that the base is fastened securely so that the torque reaction when the head moves will not
cause the base to move.
• Check that the head tilt lock is released (see “Tilt lock” on page 7).
• Be prepared for the fixture to light up suddenly. Check that no-one is looking at the fixture from
close range.
• Be prepared for the head to move suddenly. Check that there will be no risk of collision with
persons or objects.
• In a hot or cold environment, check the temperature. Do not operate the fixture if the ambient
temperature is below 5° C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).
The MAC Ultra Performance does not have an On/Off switch. To apply power to the fixture, apply power to
the power input cable. Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors also support hot-plugging.
