Why does the lamp in my Martin MX-1 Spotlight cut out intermittently?
If the lamp in your Martin Spotlight cuts out intermittently, it could be due to the fixture overheating. Allow the fixture to cool down. Also, verify that the transformer setting matches your local AC voltage and adjust if necessary.
How to troubleshoot a completely dead Martin MX-1?
If one or more of your Martin Spotlight fixtures are completely dead, start by checking that the power is switched on and all cables are securely plugged in. If the issue persists, inspect the primary and secondary fuses and replace them if blown.
What to do if some Martin MX-1 Spotlight fixtures respond erratically?
If some of your Martin Spotlight fixtures respond erratically or not at all after resetting, it may be due to a bad data link connection. Inspect the connections and cables, correcting any poor connections and replacing damaged cables. Ensure the data link is terminated with a 120? termination plug in the output jack of the last fixture on the link. Check the DIP-switch settings for incorrect addressing. One of the fixtures may be defective and disturbing data transmission. Bypass one fixture at a time by unplugging both connectors and connecting them directly together until normal operation is regained, then have the defective fixture serviced.
Why all Martin MX-1 fixtures respond erratically?
If all your Martin Spotlight fixtures respond erratically or not at all after resetting, first ensure that the controller is properly connected. If the problem persists, the XLR pin-out of the controller may not match the pin-out of the first fixture on the link. Install a phase-reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture.
