Martin smartMAC User Manual

Setup 19
Noise reduction mode
The noise reduction mode (→) setting gives two effect movement options that give varying
degrees of quiet operation:
• When set to
, pan, tilt and effects obey their settings entered elsewhere in the control menus.
• When set to ‘silent’ mode (
), pan, tilt and effects are set to slow movement in order to minimize
noise.
 mode overrides pan, tilt and effects speed settings entered elsewhere in the control menus.
Custom settings
The custom settings function → - allows you to save and recall three sets of fixture
settings. The savable settings are DMX mode, pan/tilt speed, pan/tilt inverse and swap, display, DMX reset,
shortcuts, noise reduction mode and effects speed.
All settings can be returned to factory defaults using the
→→command.
Readouts
Total hours of use
→→ provides a resettable () and a non-resettable () counter for hours of
use (i.e. number of hours with power applied to the fixture). To return the resettable counter to zero, display
it and then press [Up] until the counter reads
. The non-resettable counter displays total hours of use since
the fixture was manufactured.
Lamp management
The smartMAC monitors lamp operation:
•
→→ provides a resettable () and a non-resettable () counter that display
the number of hours the lamp has been on.
•
→→ → displays the expected total lifetime of the lamp in hours. This figure is
used as the basis for lamp lifetime warnings. It is set to 3000 by default but this can be changed via the
→ menu.
•
→→ provides a resettable () and a non-resettable () counter that display
the number of lamp strikes (i.e. number of times the lamp is powered on).
To return a resettable counter to zero, display it and then press [Up] until the counter reads
.
The non-resettable counters display totals since the fixture was manufactured.
Lamp lifetime warnings
If lamp lifetime warnings are enabled by setting
→to :
• 200 hours before the lamp reaches the end of its expected lifetime, the Service LED lights yellow and
 flashes in the display
• When the lamp reaches the end of its expected lifetime, the Service LED lights red,
 continues to
flash in the display and power to the lamp is shut down.
The lamp’s expected lifetime is set to 3000 hours by default. If a lamp with a different expected lifetime is
installed, change the lifetime via the
→ menu.
Lamp lifetime warnings are disabled by default.
Lamp explosion mode
If a lamp fails,
 appears in the fixture’s display and the fixture enters lamp explosion mode, in which
pan and tilt are locked and the fixture does not respond to DMX control. If  is displayed, cut power to
the fixture and do not operate it until you have checked the lamp and replaced if necessary. Pan and tilt are
released and DMX control is re-enabled when power is reapplied.
Temperature
→ provides temperature readouts for the head and the main PCB in the base.
