4 Introduction Acrobat user manual

To protect yourself and others from burns and fire

• Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always replace

defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating.

• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.1

meters (4 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away

from the fixture.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 0.3 meters (12 inches) of the fixture.

• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around fans and air vents.

• Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out. When replacing the lamp,

allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before opening the fixture or

removing the lamp. Protect your hands and eyes with gloves and safety glasses.

Acrobat user manual Lamp installation 5

AMP

INSTALLATION

The Acrobat uses a 24V, 250W ELC halogen lamp. Two models are available, an

economical 300 hour lamp from Philips and a high-output 50 hour lamp from

Osram. Installing any other lamp may damage the fixture!

Lamp life can be extended beyond the stated average hours by reducing the lamp

voltage slightly using DIP-switch pin 12. Set pin 12 to ON for longer lamp life, or

OFF for maximum brightness.

Allow the lamp to cool for at least 5 minutes before packing and moving the

fixture. To avoid possible damage, remove the lamp when shipping the fixture.

Warning! Always disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to

cool for 5 minutes before installing the lamp.

To install a lamp in the Acrobat

1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. If replacing a lamp, allow it to cool for

5 minutes before removing the lamp access cover. The lamp cools faster with

the cover in place.

2 Remove both screws from the lamp access cover and lift the cover off.

3 If replacing a lamp, grasp the old lamp by the reflector and pull it out of the

holder. Then pull the socket off the lamp. Do not pull the wires.

4 Push the socket fully onto the pins of the new lamp.

5 Gently push the lamp into the holder until it snaps into place.

6 Replace the lamp access cover and screws.

6 AC power connection Acrobat user manual

POWER

CONNECTION

The Acrobat’s operating voltage is printed on the serial number label near the AC

input. Verify that the operating voltage closely matches the AC supply voltage

before applying power. Contact your Martin dealer if the operating voltage differs

from the supply voltage by more than five percent.

To install a plug on the mains lead

The fixture’s mains lead may require a grounding-type cord cap that fits your

power distribution cable or outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if you have

any doubts about proper installation.

Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must

be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall have

overload and ground-fault protection.

Important! Verify that the feed cables are undamaged and rated for the

current requirements of all connected devices before use.

• Following the cord cap manufacturer’s instructions, connect the yellow and

green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to

neutral. The table below shows some pin identification schemes.

Acrobat user manual DIP-switch settings 9

DIP-

SWITCH

SETTINGS

This section describes how to select the address, when used with a controller, and

how to select various options using the DIP-switch.

DMX ADDRESS SELECTION

When the Acrobat is used with a DMX controller, its DIP-switch must be set to a

control address. The control address, also known as the start channel, is the first

channel used to receive instructions from the controller. For independent control,

each fixture must be assigned its own control address and non-overlapping

channels.

Two Acrobats may, however, share the same address if you want them to respond

identically. In this case, the fixtures receive the same instructions and individual

control is not possible.

The Acrobat uses 6 channels for full DMX operation. There is also a 1-channel

DMX mode that is described on page 14.

To set a DMX address

1 Select an address for the fixture on your controller.

2 Look up the DIP-switch setting for the address on page 10.

3 Set pins 1 through 9 to the ON (1) or OFF (0) position as listed in the table.

4 Set pin 10 to the OFF position.

5 Set pin 11 to the OFF position for full 6-channel DMX operation or to the ON

position for 1-channel DMX operation.

10 DIP-switch settings Acrobat user manual

DIP-SWITCH ADDRESS TABLE

Find the address in the table below. Read the settings for pins 1 - 5 to the left and

read the settings for pins 6 - 9 above the address. “0” means OFF and “1” means

ON.

Important! Pins 10 and 11 must be OFF for full DMX control. Pin 10 must

be OFF and pin 11 must be ON for 1-channel DMX control.
