installing or using this product.
Introduction
The THRILL Multi-FX LED combines strobe effects, multibeam
effects, and laser effects in a single lighting fixture. It features
eight powerful white strobe LEDs, five red-green-blue-white-
amber multi-color LEDs, a multi-facetted rotating mirror, and
dynamic red and green multi-beam lasers. Control is flexible with
music-triggered, stand-alone, synchronized master/slave, and
DMX control options. Its rugged and lightweight construction and
compact size make it ideal for mobile DJs and small venues.
It is supplied with this guide, a user guide, power cable(s), two
keys for the laser lockout switch, and a mounting bracket for use
with a suitable, user-supplied hanging clamp.

Safety information
The following symbols identify important safety information:
Laser Safety
WARNING! Class 3R laser according to EN 60825-
1 and FDA performance standards for laser
products except for deviations pursuant to Laser
Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007. Possibly hazardous radiation
emitted from this product. May be harmful to the eyes. Do not
stare at operating laser and do not view the laser beam with
optical instruments or any device that may concentrate the beam.
This lighting fixture presents risks of severe injury or death due to
fire hazards, electric shock and falls. It produces powerful, highly
concentrated beams of light that can cause eye injury or create a
fire hazard if the safety precautions are not followed.
Lasers can be hazardous and have unique safety
considerations. Permanent eye injury and blindness
are possible if lasers are used incorrectly. Pay close
attention to each safety remark and warning
statement in this guide. Read all instructions carefully before
operating this device. Always be aware of the laser beam
location. Keep it away from people's eyes and heads. Take care
to avoid reflected beams from glass and/or other shiny surfaces.
AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. Never intentionally expose
your eyes or others eyes to direct laser light. Take precautions
when shining laser beams into audience areas. It is not legal to
aim Class 3R lasers into areas where people can be exposed,
even if the laser is aimed below person’s faces.
LASERS CAN INTERFERE WITH PILOTS AND DRIVERS.
Aiming ANY laser beam at an aircraft or vehicle is illegal.
ONLY ALLOW USE BY RESPONSIBLE PERSONS. This
product is not a toy. Children should not be permitted to use Class
3R lasers. A responsible adult should continuously supervise any
teenager using a Class 3R laser.
Do not aim this laser projector directly at any person or audience
area closer than 3 m (9.8 ft.).
Do not perform any public demonstration, show, display or
entertainment with this laser projector without meeting the
requirements of the municipality in which it is being utilized.
Use of controls, adjustment, performance, and procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Install, operate and service this product only as directed, or you
may create a safety hazard or cause damage that is not covered
by product warranties.
If transferring ownership of this product to another user, ensure
this guide is included with the product

Respect all locally applicable laws, codes and regulations when
installing, operating or servicing the product.
Protection from electric shock
Do not expose the product to water or moisture.
Disconnect the product from AC power before
carrying out installation or maintenance and when
the product is not in use.
Ensure that the product is electrically connected to ground
(earth).
Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building
and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault
(earth-fault) protection.
Replace blown fuses with ones of the specified type and rating.
Isolate the product from power immediately if the power plug or
any seal, cover, cable, or other component is damaged,
defective, deformed, wet or showing signs of overheating. Do not
reapply power until the problem is corrected.
Before connecting the product to power, check that all power
distribution equipment and cables are undamaged and rated for
the electrical requirements of all connected products.
Protection from burns and fire
Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature
(T
a
) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture. Keep all
combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 100 mm
(4 in.) away from the fixture.
Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the
fixture.
Minimum distance to illuminated surface = 0.2 m (8 in.)
Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any optical
component.
Protection from eye injury
Lighting fixtures emit possibly hazardous radiation.
Do not look at an operating laser. Eye injury may
result. In order to avoid eye injury or blindness avoid
direct or bright reflected laser light to be exposed to your or others
eyes, mirrors, reflective surfaces, airplanes, or vehicles.
To minimize the risk of eye injury or irritation, disconnect lighting
fixtures from power at all times when not in use, and provide well-
lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on
or near them.
Do not look at output from lighting fixtures with magnifiers,
telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may
concentrate the light.
The fixture’s lenses can focus the sun’s rays inside the fixture,
creating a risk of fire and damage. Do not expose the front of the
fixture to sunlight or any other bright light source.
Ensure that persons are not looking directly into a lighting fixture
when it lights up suddenly. This can happen when power is
applied or when certain control menu items are selected.
Protection from injury
Do not attempt to repair a defective product or
modify the product in any way. LEDs and lasers are
not user-replaceable. Refer all service to your Martin
dealer or contact Martin directly for technical support through
http://www.martin.com/contact-support
Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in
use. The fixture is not portable when installed.
Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can
support at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they
support.
If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the fixture using a
hanging clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means
of support.
If the product is installed in a location where it may cause injury
or damage if it falls, install as directed a secondary attachment
such as a safety cable that will hold the machine if a primary
attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be approved
by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the
weight that it secures, must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section
17.6.6 or BGV C1 / DGUV 17, and must be capable of bearing a
static suspended load at least six times the weight of the fixture
(or more if required by locally applicable regulations). Check that
all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
Block access below the work area and work from a stable
platform whenever installing, servicing or moving the fixture.
Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers,
shields or any optical component.
In the event of an operating problem, stop using the fixture
immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use
a fixture that is obviously damaged.
Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual
or install other than genuine Martin parts.
Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a
qualified technician.
Flashing light can trigger epileptic seizures in flicker-sensitive
persons. Provide notice when strobe lighting is in use at the
entrance(s) to the venue. Mount flashing lights as high above
head height as practicable and avoid extended periods of
continuous flashing, particularly at 10 to 20 flashes per second.
Stop lights from flashing immediately if a person has an epileptic
seizure.

Physical installation
The THRILL Multi-FX LED is designed for indoor use only and
must be used in a dry, overhead location. Never use the laser
feature where exposure to the outdoors and aircraft or vehicles is
possible.
When exposing persons to the laser beams ensure a minimum of
3 m (9.8 ft.) of vertical clearance above floor level and the lowest
laser beam. Additionally ensure a minimum of 3 m (9.8 ft.)
horizontal clearance from the fixture to persons. Never allow the
laser to project beams at or near eye-level of persons or animals.
Mounting the fixture on a truss
The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure.
It must be suspended vertically, hanging
downwards only. Use a suitable hanging clamp
