User manual MARTIN ATOMIC 3000

[. . . ] When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool for at least 10 minutes before opening the fixture or removing the lamp. Always replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating. · Verify that the power feed cable is rated for the current draw of all connected fixtures. · · · · 4 Safety information Atomic 3000 user manual · Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 0. 5 meters (20 inches) away from the fixture. [. . . ] Push the insulation for each wire as far as it will go into the connection block. 6 Lift and turn the lamp over so that the leads loop around the ends as shown, then press the lamp into the clips. 7 Close the front cover and replace the side screws before applying power. 10 Lamp Atomic 3000 user manual ew Loosen Scr for lamp t replacemen Atomic 3000 user manual Lamp 11 CONTROLLER OPERATION 4 This section describes how to operate the Atomic 3000 with a DMX controller. DATA CONNECTION The Atomic 3000 provides both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for data connection. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). The sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs. For reliable data transmission use one input and one output! To connect the data link 1 Connect the DMX data input from the controller to the Atomic 3000's 3-pin or 5-pin input (male) socket. 3 Insert a termination plug in the output of the last fixture on the link. DA T A · CONNECTION TIPS Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. Use heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier for longer runs. · Never use both outputs to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a signal splitter. · · Do not overload the link. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 ohm, 0. 25 watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, "soaks up" the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. · Use a phase-reversing cable to connect older Martin fixtures with reversed polarity sockets (pin 3 cold). 12 Controller operation Atomic 3000 user manual DMX CONTROL MODES The DMX control options are selected on the Mode DIP switch. 1-channel DMX mode allows you to strobe from 0 flashes per second to the maximum flash rate and trigger the blinder effect from the controller. The maximum intensity can be reduced by selecting low power mode as described on page 9. DU R A T I O N Flash duration can be set from 0 to 650 ms on 50 Hz power supplies, or 0 to 530 ms on 60 Hz power supplies, on channel 2 in the 3- and 4-channel DMX modes. Flash duration is fixed in 1-channel DMX mode. RA T E Flash rate can be set from 0 flashes per second to 25 flashes per second Hz on 50 Hz power supplies, or from 0 to 30 flashes per second on 60 Hz power supplies, on channel 3 in the 3- and 4-channel DMX modes. Flash rate is also controllable in 1-channel DMX mode. PR O G R A M M E D EFFECTS Six programmed effects are available on channel 4 in the 4-channel DMX mode only. The effects may be altered using the intensity, duration, and rate controls. · · · · Ramp up: Light gradually increases in intensity, then blacks out. Random flash: Light flashes randomly with variable rate and intensity. Set flash intensity, duration, and rate as normal. BLINDER EFFECT The blinder effect, in which the light remains on for an extended period, is available in all DMX modes. In the 3- and 4-channel modes, the effect is achieved Atomic 3000 user manual Controller operation 15 whenever the combination of flash duration and rate prevents pauses between flashes. For example, the blinder effect can be achieved with a flash duration of 0. 25 seconds (250 ms) and a flash rate of 4 flashes per second, or a flash duration of 0. 05 seconds (50 ms) and a flash rate of 20 flashes per second. In 3- and 4-channel DMX mode, the intensity of the blinder effect is controllable on channel 1. Lamp power is electronically regulated to prevent the lamp from overheating.
