Martin MAC Encore Performance CLD Safety And Installation Manual

Physical installation
Warning! The MAC Encore™ Performance has a powerful pan motor. The torque reaction when the
head is panned suddenly can cause the base to move if the fixture is standing unsecured on a
surface. Do not apply power to the MAC Encore™ Performance unless the base is securely fastened
to a surface or to rigging hardware.
Warning! Use two clamps to rig the fixture. Do not hang the fixture from only one clamp. Lock each
clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. Fasteners are locked only when turned a full 90° clockwise.
Warning! When suspending the fixture above ground level, secure it against failure of primary
attachments by attaching a safety wire that is approved as a safety attachment for the weight of the
fixture to the attachment point in the base. Do not use the carrying handles for secondary
attachment.
Warning! When clamping the fixture to a truss or other structure at any other angle than with the
yoke hanging vertically downwards, use two clamps of half-coupler type. Do not use any type of
clamp that does not completely encircle the structure when fastened.
Warning! Position or shade the head so that the front lens will not be exposed to sunlight or another
strong light source from any angle – even for a few seconds. See Figure 3. The MAC Encore™
Performance’s lens can focus the sun's rays, creating a potential fire hazard and causing damage.
Important! Do not point the output from other lighting fixtures at the MAC Encore™ Performance, as
powerful light can damage the display.
See Figure 3. Lenses can focus sunlight and
strong light, presenting a risk of fire and
damage to the fixture. Shield or shade the
head if necessary.
The MAC Encore™
Performance can be fastened to
a surface such as a stage or
clamped to a truss in any
orientation. Clamps must be
half-coupler type (see Figure 5)
or equivalent type that fully
encircles the truss unless the
fixture is installed with the yoke
hanging vertically downwards,
in which case other clamp types
that are approved for the
supported weight may be used.
The mounting points in the base
allow omega brackets and
rigging clamps to be fastened
as shown in Figure 4.
