Battery power

The MAC Allure Wash PC’s onboard 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

• DMX control mode (Basic/Extended)

• Fixture ID

• All 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 

and press the Enter button 

to 

activate, or press the Menu button 

again to cancel.

RESET ALL 

resets the whole fixture

ROTATE DISPLAY 

rotates the MAC Allure Wash PC display 180°.

Settings stored permanently

The following settings are stored permanently in the fixture memory and are not affected by powering the 
MAC Allure Wash PC off and on or by updating the fixture software:

• DMX address

• DMX control mode (Basic/Extended)

• Fixture ID

• All personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, dimming curve, DMX reset, parameter shortcuts, all display 

settings, error mode, etc.) 

• Resettable counters

• Service settings (adjustment, calibration)

These settings can be returned to factory defaults using the control menus or via DMX.

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.

Cycling power and allowing the fixture to start normally takes it out of service mode.
