Manual control
The MANUAL CONTROL menu lets you reset the ERA 500 Hybrid IP, power the lamp on and off, and
operate the fixture’s effects without a DMX controller.
To manually control effects in the MANUAL CONTROL menu, select the effect that you want to control, then
enter a value from 0 to 255 to apply a command. The menu items and values correspond to the commands
listed in the DMX protocol in this User Manual.
When you exit the MANUAL CONTROL menu, the fixture will keep its effect positions and settings until you
enter a new menu. When you do this, the fixture will revert to default positions and settings. The fixture will
also revert to default positions and settings if you exit and then re-enter
MANUAL CONTROL .
Service utilities
The SERVICE menu provides utilities for technicians rigging or servicing the fixture:
• ERROR LIST displays a complete list of any errors that the fixture has detected and any warnings that the
fixture has stored in memory.
• PAN/TILT FEEDBACK lets you disable feedback to the fixture software from the pan, tilt and effects
positioning systems. If feedback is set to ON (the default setting) and a pan, tilt or effect position error is
detected, the shutter closes and the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by setting feedback to
OFF .
The OFF setting is not saved when the fixture is powered off, and the system will be re-enabled the next
time the fixture starts. If a pan/tilt position error occurs and the system cannot correct pan/tilt position
within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically disabled.
• CALIBRATION lets you set home positions of pan, tilt and all the fixture’s mechanical effects if the fixture
loses adjustment. See ”Calibration” below for more details. Adjustment may also be required by some
firmware updates. If so, this will be mentioned in the firmware release notes.
• LOAD DEFAULTS returns the fixture to its factory default home positions (or to the home positions saved
using the SAVE SETTING command if any home positions have been saved there).
• SAVE SETTING replaces the fixture’s factory default home positions with the home positions currently set
in the CALIBRATION menu.
Caution!
The SAVE SETTING command makes permanent changes! See ”Calibration” below for more
details.
• DEHUMIDIFY runs a process which removes humidity from inside the fixture. Among other things, the
process requires the removal of the fixture’s pressure relief valves. See the ERA 500 Hybrid IP Safety and
Installation Manual (supplied with the fixture and available for download at www.martin.com) for
instructions on carrying out dehumidification.
Calibration
Martin fixtures are adjusted and calibrated at the factory to ensure uniform behavior in different fixtures.
Further calibration should only be necessary if fixtures have been subjected to abnormal shocks during
transport or if normal wear and tear has affected alignment after an extended period of use. You can also
use calibration to fine-tune fixtures for a particular location or application.
