Using the fixture

Before using the fixture, download and read the latest version of the MAC Quantum Profile User Guide from 
the MAC Quantum Profile Product Support page on 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.

• The setup, monitoring and control options available using the onboard control and display panel.

• RDM (Remote Device Management) compatibility.

• Software service functions.

Applying power

Warning! Before applying power to the fixture: 

• Carefully review the safety information starting on page 4.

• Check that the installation is safe and secure.

• Check that the base is fastened securely so that the torque reaction when the head is panned will 

not cause the base to move.

• Check that the head tilt lock is released (see “Tilt lock” on page 6).

To apply power, set the power on/off switch on the base to the “I” position.
