[. . . ] The Shortcuts setting (P E RS/S CUT ) determines whether or not the wheel takes the shortest path to the next position; this setting may be overridden on the effects speed channel. Setting the speed to "blackout" causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel turns. To change the gobos, see "Rotating gobos" on page 15. Dimmer / shutter The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides full, high-resolution dimming, "instant" open and blackout, random and variable strobe effects, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens. Pulse and random strobe effects can be disabled by switching DMX Macros (P ER S/ dMA C) off. The Dimmer Mode (P ER S / dMO d) setting allows you to select between linear or simulated tungsten fade curves. The fade time must be 0 to simulate tungsten dimming. Focus The beam may be focused from approximately 2 meters (6. 5 feet) to infinity. The MAC 250's default beam angle is 17. 5°; see page 17 for additional options. The MAC 250+ has a different optical system that uses achromatic lenses. It provides a beam angle of 18. 3°. Rotating prism The 3-facet prism rotates in both directions at varying speeds. There are 8 preprogrammed macros that combine prism and gobos. These can be disabled by switching DMX Macros (P E RS/d MAC ) off. Setting the speed to "blackout" causes the shutter to black out the light while the prism moves in and out. Pa n a n d til t The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 289°. Movement may be optimized for speed by setting the pan/tilt speed setting (P ER S / PTSP ) to FAS T, or for smoothness by setting it to SLOW. This setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Setting the speed to "blackout" causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving. The pan and tilt channels can be inverted and/or swapped using the pan/tilt menu (P E RS / PAT I ). 14 MAC 250 and MAC 250+ section 5 BASIC SERVICE The MAC 250 and MAC 250+ operate under challenging conditions presented by heat, humidity, dust, and touring. Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The MAC 250 and MAC 250+ require regular maintenance to keep performing at their peak. The schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any service that you are not qualified to perform to a professional technician. WARNING! Removing covers exposes dangerous live electrical circuits, hot surfaces, and a lamp under high pressure. Procedures requiring the removal of any cover shall be performed by professional users or technicians only. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool before removing any cover.
