Cleaning
Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will
damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product
warranty.
The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning
schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore
impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the fixture. Environmental factors that may result in a
need for frequent cleaning include:
•
Use of smoke or fog machines.
•
High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).
•
Presence of cigarette smoke.
•
Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment at outdoor
events, for example).
If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first 100 hours of operation to see
whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess
cleaning requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer about a suitable
maintenance schedule.
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any product that
contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage.
To clean the fixture:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 1
5 minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and the air vents
at the back and sides of the head and in the base with low-pressure compressed air.
Holding cooling
fan blades stationary with a screwdriver will protect them from spinning too fast and possibly being
damaged when you apply a vacuum or air jet.
3. Clean surfaces by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent
solution. Do not rub glass surfaces hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft,
clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue
or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water.
4. Clean the pressure equalization valve on the back of the fixture by brushing gently with a soft brush. If
the valve appears to be blocked, contact a Martin Service agent for replacement.
5.
Dry the fixture before putting it into storage.
Uploading new firmware
Important!
Do not switch the fixture off or disconnect the source of the firmware during an update, or the
firmware will be corrupted.
You can check the currently installed firmware version in the INFORMATION menu. Firmware updates
can be downloaded automatically from the Martin cloud using the Martin Companion software suite on a
PC connected to the Internet.
Fixture information and settings are not affected when you upload new firmware to the fixture. All ERA 700
Performance IP fixtures that are powered on and connected via a DMX link to the fixture that you update
will also have their firmware updated.
If you update firmware to a newer version, check the ERA 700 Performance IP area of www.martin.com to
see whether an updated version of
the fixture’s User Manual is available for the new firmware.
