Introduction; Before Using The Product For The First Time; Precautions To Avoid Damage - Martin Pro Compact Sicherheits- Und Installationshandbuch

Introduction

The Exterior Projection Pro Compact from Martin® is an image projection fixture that features a
powerful 130 W LED engine, advanced dynamic effects and rugged weatherproofing. See
www.martin.com for full product specifications including photometric data.
The fixture is supplied with a color wheel with five dichroic color filters. It also has smooth electronic
dimming, strobe effects, remote focusing and remote zoom control.
In addition, the following effects are available as accessories:
• Gobo module with 1 or 4 gobo slots, with gobo indexing and variable rotation.
• Animation module with continuous rotation, variable speed and direction.
• Four-blade manual framing module with locking mechanism.
The Exterior Projection Pro Compact can be controlled using any controller that is compatible with the
industry-standard DMX512 lighting control protocol. It will also respond to RDM (Remote Device
Management) communication if you use an RDM-compliant controller. RDM lets you set up and
retrieve status information from fixtures over the DMX data link.
The Exterior Projection Pro Compact can also function without DMX control as a stand-alone projector
and run a show with up to twenty dynamic lighting effects that you can program using the free Martin
Companion fixture management Windows software suite.

Before using the product for the first time

1. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. Do not attempt
to operate a damaged fixture.
2. Check the Exterior Projection Pro Compact area of www.martin.com and make sure that you have
read the latest user documentation and technical information about the fixture. Martin user manual
revisions are identified by the revision letter at the bottom of the inside cover.
3. Read 'Safety information' on page 4 of this user manual.
4. Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the power requirements of the
fixture.
5. If the temperature is below -10° C (14° F), apply power to the fixture but be prepared to wait until
the fixture has performed a warm-up procedure and has reached operating temperature. During
the warm-up procedure, the light source, an internal heating system and effects are activated.
DMX control is disabled but RDM communication is available.
Note that whenever AC power is applied to the fixture, it will reset all effects and functions to their
home positions. Reset is available when fixture temperature is above -10° C (14° F).
For instant wake-up with no warm-up mode, leave power applied constantly in ambient temperatures
below 0° C (32° F)
