prevent the fixture from exceeding its maximum operating temperature during ultra-low speed fan
operation.
- REGULATED FANS adjusts cooling fan operation to balance the fixture’s noise and light output
characteristics. Cooling fans are set to the lowest speed possible and then increased as fixture
operating temperature rises. If the fixture reaches maximum operating temperature and full-speed fan
operation is not enough to control fixture temperature, light output intensity is limited to keep the fixture
within its operating temperature range.
Because the MAC Ultra Wash adjusts the maximum possible output intensity level as a function of fixture
temperature, the choice of cooling mode will affect the maximum intensity level available. The exact level
will vary depending on factors such as ambient temperature, airflow in the installation etc., but to give an
approximate indication, you can expect to obtain the following intensity levels in the fixture’s different
cooling modes relative to the REGULATED FANS mode:
- REGULATED FANS: 100%
- CONSTANT FAN ULOW: 75%
- CONSTANT FAN LOW: 101%
- CONSTANT FAN MEDIUM: 104%
- CONSTANT FAN FULL: 105%
• DISPLAY offers the following options for the LCD display:
- DISPLAY SLEEP sets the fixture display to black out a certain period after the last key press on the
fixture’s control panel. If ERROR MODE (see below) is set to NORMAL, the display will light up again if
the fixtures detects and error.
- DISPLAY INTENSITY lets you adjust the brightness of the display backlighting by setting the intensity
to a level from 10% to 100%.
- DISPLAY ROTATION rotates the display manually through 180° so that it can be read easily no matter
how the fixture is oriented.
- TEMPERATURE UNIT lets you choose whether the fixture should display all temperature readings in
Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• ERROR MODE enables or disables error warnings.
- If set to NORMAL , the display is activated and lights up if the fixture needs to report an error.
- If set to SILENT , the fixture does not light the display with error warnings but error messages can still be
read when the display is activated manually.
In both NORMAL and SILENT modes, the status LED lights amber to indicate a warning and red to
indicate an error.
• HIBERNATION MODE sets light output intensity to zero and disables effect deployment and pan/tilt
movement. The main purpose of the mode is to protect the fixture from the intake of airborne material
such as dust and confetti and to provide an option for situations where noise is critical. The small
reduction in power consumption obtained in Hibernation Mode is not the main purpose of this mode.
When you bring the fixture out of hibernation mode, it performs a full reset.
• SCENE CAPTURE lets you capture all the DMX values that the fixture is currently receiving and save
them as a scene. If you enable PLAYBACK , the fixture will show that scene every time it is powered on or
you carry out a reset.
- If the fixture receives a DMX control signal during playback, it will immediately stop showing its saved
scene. If the fixture is powered off and on again or if the fixture is reset, it will again show its saved
scene.
- To stop the fixture showing its saved scene at each power cycle or reset, set PLAYBACK to DISABLE
in the SCENE CAPTURE menu.
Managing fixture settings
Factory default settings
FACTORY DEFAULT lets you reload the fixture’s factory default settings. Effect calibration settings are not
affected, so any changes you have made to zoom, pan and tilt offsets will be kept.
