injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed in this user
manual using a securely anchored safety cable that will hold
the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.
Do not use the fixture to illuminate surfaces within 10 m (33
ft.) of the fixture.
Martin® can supply safety cables and rigging clamps that are suitable for
use with the fixture (see ‘Accessories’ on page 44).
Fastening the fixture to a flat surface
The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface. Ensure that the
surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all
fixtures and equipment they will support.
Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it
can be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may
cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed below with a securely
anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening
method fails.
Mounting the fixture on a truss
The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging
structure in any orientation. When installing the fixture
hanging vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp
such as a G-clamp. When installing in any other orientation,
you must use a closed-type rigging clamp such as half-
coupler clamp (see illustration on right) that completely
encircles the truss chord.
To clamp the fixture to a truss:
1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight
of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

fixture is rated 9 A and can safely supply only one fixture
with mains power. Do not connect any device to the
fixture’s MAINS OUT socket when using this input cable.
If you want to connect other fixtures to the MAINS OUT
socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ below.
For protec
tion from electric shock, the fixture must be
grounded (earthed). The power distribution circuit must be
equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault
(earth-fault) protection.
Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the
fixture with power must be located near the fixture and easily
accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected
from power.
Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as
this may cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product
warranty.
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want
to install it permanently, or a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for
the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding type
(earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 8 A at a
suitable voltage for your local power system. Follow the plug manufacturer’s
instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in this table:
Live or L Neutral or N
Earth, Ground or
US system

Brown Blue Yellow/green
The fixture has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power
at 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power at any other
voltage or frequency to the fixture.
Linking fixtures to power in a chain
The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 9 A and can
safely supply power to one fixture only. If you want to use the MAINS OUT
socket on the fixture to link power to the next fixture in a daisy-chain, you
RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 15
must obtain a 16 A-rated power input cable and 16-A rated power relay
cables available as accessories from Martin® (see ‘Accessories’ on page
44). Using these 16 A-rated cables, you can link:
•
Maximum two (2) RUSH® MH 11 Beam fixtures in total at 100-120 V,
or
• Maximum four (4) RUSH® MH 11 Beam fixtures in total at 200-240 V.
If you install a power plug (cord cap) on the 16 A-rated power input cable,
install a grounding type (earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated
minimum 16 A at the correct voltage rating for your local power supply.

6 – Mains fuse
The fixture’s 5T 250 V, 8 A fuse is located in a fuse holder next to the power
input/output connectors.
RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 17
Control data link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The
fixture has 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.
Up to 32 devices can be linked together on a single daisy chain. The total
number of fixtures in one 512-channel DMX universe is limited by the
number of DMX channels required by the fixtures. Note that if independent
control of a fixture is required, it must have its own DMX channels. Fixtures
that are required to behave identically can share the same DMX address
and channels. To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above
limits are reached, add a DMX universe and/or split the daisy-chained link
into branches using a powered DMX splitter.
Tips for reliable data transmission
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard
microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24
AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). Heavier gauge
cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs.
• pin 1 = shield
• pin 2 = cold (-)
• pin 3 = hot (+).
Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the fixture but are
available for possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A
standard. Standard pin-out is pin 4 = data 2 cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot
(+).
18 RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual
To split the link into branches, use an opto-isolated splitter such as the
Martin® DMX 5.3 Splitter. 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.
If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
Connecting the data link
To connect the fixture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s
male XLR DMX input connector.
2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next
fixture and continue connecting fixtures output to input.
3. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a DMX termination plug.
RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 19
Fixture setup
This section explains the fixture characteristics you can set that determine
how it can be controlled and will behave. You choose the settings using the
menus available from the control panel, and they are retained even when
the fixture is powered off.
Options can also be set over the DMX line using RDM from a suitable
controller, see “Setting options by RDM” on page 24.

Setting options by RDM
You can remotely configure the fixture over the DMX line using RDM.
Martin® offers a range of suitable RDM-compatible controllers.
Martin® M-PC is a Windows-based application available from Martin® that
lets you set up, manage and control a lighting installation from a PC that is
connected to the installation via a DMX data link. To use Martin® M-PC,
connect a PC running the application to the data link via a USB-to-DMX
interface box such as the Martin® M-DMX.
A full list of the RDM functions that the MH 11 fixture supports is given at
the end of this chapter. These functions are generally referred to using the
more specific term ‘PIDs’ or ‘Parameter IDs’.
Scanning for RDM devices on the data link
Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a
scan command (also called a device discovery command) to all the devices
on the data link so that the RDM controller can identify them. It does this by
retrieving each device’s factory-set unique identifier (UID). This process can
take some time depending on the number of devices on the link.
To identify the fixtures on the link:
1. Check that the fixtures are correctly connected to the RDM controller on
the data link and that power is applied to all fixtures.
2. In Martin® M-PC, go to RDM CONTROLLER Æ DISCOVER DEVICES.
RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 25
3. Give the controller time to identify the devices on the link and prepare
for communication with the devices.
Getting status and setting options by RDM
The status and options listed in the table below can be read and set by
RDM.
You can set an option on one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command
to that one fixture only, or you can set the same option on all the fixtures on
the data link by sending a broadcast RDM command to all the devices on
the link.
For status reading, you can only use unicast RDM to read information from
an individual fixture.

Gobos
The fixture contains one gobo wheel with gobo positions as shown below:
Gobo wheel (rotating gobos)
Individual gobos can be set to indexed positions, and rotated clockwise and
counter-clockwise. Gobo shake is also available.
When option “BI.O. Other Move” is ON, the fixture blacks out during color
and gobo changes.
Focus
A motorized focus lens provides 16-bit coarse and fine adjustment of gobo
image sharpness.
Prism
The fixture incorporates an eight-facet circular prism which can be inserted
into the beam for split effects. The prism can be set to an indexed position
or rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Frost
A frost filter can be inserted into the beam for a soft, diffuse wash effect.
Note: you cannot use both Frost and Prism at the same time.
RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 29
Maintenance
Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before
serv
icing the fixture.
Disconnect the fixture from mains power before cleaning or
servicing.
Service fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury
from failing parts, tools or other materials.
The user may carry out the service operations described in this manual. All
other service operations must be carried out by an authorized Martin®
service technician. Do not try to repair the fixture yourself, as you may
create a safety risk or cause damage that is not covered by the product
warranty.
Installation, on-site service and maintenance can be provided worldwide by
the Martin Professional™ Global Service organization and its approved
agents, giving owners access to Martin’s expertise and product knowledge
in a partnership that will ensure the highest level of performance throughout
the product’s lifetime. Please contact Martin® for details.
Cleaning
Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance,
causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by
inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly
depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to
specify precise cleaning intervals for the fixture. Environmental factors that
may result in a need for frequent cleaning include:
• Use of smoke or fog machines.
• High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).
• Presence of cigarette smoke.
• Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the
natural environment at outdoor events, for example).
If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first
100 hours of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again
at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning
requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your Martin
dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.
30 RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area.
Do not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can
cause surface damage.
To clean the fixture:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10
minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside
of the fixture and the air vents at the back and sides of the head and in
the base with low-pressure compressed air.
3. Clean surfaces by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth
moistened with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub glass surfaces
hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles
with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner
or distilled water.
4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.
Replacing gobos
The rotating gobos can be replaced with custom gobos that match the
quality and specifications of the gobos supplied with the fixture (see
‘Interchangeable Gobos’ on page 43).
Optical
components have fragile coatings and are exposed to very high
temperatures. Handle and store components with care. Wear cotton gloves
while handling them. Keep them perfectly clean and free of oil and grease to
reduce the risk of heat damage.
To replace a rotating gobo:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and
allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. See illustration to right. Loosen the
screws indicated with a TX20 TORX
screwdriver and remove the head shell.
RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 31
3. The rotating gobos sit in goboholders that slot into clips in the rotating
gobo wheel. Find the gobo you want to replace. See below. Pull its
goboholder away from the gobo wheel slightly, then lift the goboholder
out of its clip in the wheel.
4. The gobo is held by a retaining spring. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver or
tweezers to lever the end of the spring out of its slot, then lift out the
spring.
5. Remove spring, retaining ring and gobo.

spring, seat the new lamp in the fixture. Secure the lamp with the
retaining spring.
7. Reinstall the lamp cover before applying power.
8. Reset the lamp hours counter as described on page 23.
Lamp temperature control
The lamp temperature is monitored to check for high temperatures caused
by fan failure or blockage. If the lamp sensor reaches the LAMP OFF
TEMPERATURE, which is fixed at 130° C (266° F), for more than 5 minutes
then the lamp shuts down automatically. The lamp will restrike automatically
when the temperature cools to the MAX ON AT TEMPERATURE, which is
fixed at 45° C (113° F).
Replacing the primary fuse
If the fixture is completely dead, the fixture’s primary fuse may have blown
and it may be necessary to install a new fuse. Replace with a fuse of the
same size and specified rating only.
If you need to replace the fuse:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool.
2. Unscrew the cap of the fuse holder (shown on page 16) and remove the
fus
e.
