16 RUSH™ MH10 Beam FX User Manual
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 a DMX buffer is recommended for longer runs. The pin-out on all
connectors is:
• 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 (+).
RUSH™ MH10 Beam FX User Manual 17
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 W 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. Terminate the last fixture
on the link with a DMX termination plug.
18 RUSH™ MH10 Beam FX User Manual
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.
You can also set the options on the fixture remotely over the DMX line using a
suitable RDM controller.
A complete map of the control menu structure and brief explanations of their
purposes can be found on page 32.
Using the control menus
To access the control menus, press the MENU button. Navigate the menu
structure using the ENTER, DOWN and UP buttons. To select a menu option
or to confirm a selection, press the ENTER button. To return to a higher level
in the menu structure without making a change, press the MENU button.

DMX addressing
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture is controlled using a
minimum of 24 DMX channels (but has an extended mode which uses more
channels). Each DMX controlled fixture must have a DMX address set. For
example, if the fixture has a DMX address of 10, then it uses channels 10 to
33 inclusive. The following fixture in the DMX chain could then be set to a
DMX address of 35.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. In the control menu, select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER to confirm.
The present address will blink in the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select an address from 1 to 492 (the

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 10 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
26 RUSH™ MH10 Beam FX User Manual
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:
Check that the fixtures are correctly connected to the RDM controller on the
data link and that power is applied to all fixtures.
1. In Martin® M-PC, go to RDM CONTROLLER DISCOVER DEVICES.
2. 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.

Effects
See ‘DMX protocol’ on page 32 for a full list of the DMX channels and values
required to control the different effects.
Pan and tilt
The fixture’s head can be rotated continuously on both pan and tilt axes, or
can be positioned through 540° of pan and 270° of tilt with 16-bit coarse and
fine control. Using the control menus it is possible to invert pan or tilt
movement.
To set fixed positions for pan or tilt, ensure that the corresponding Rotation
control channel is set to zero.
The fixture incorporates pan and tilt feedback, so that if a pan or tilt position
error is detected or the fixture is knocked out of position, the shutter closes
and the fixture resets to the correct pan & tilt position.
Pan/tilt options
Using the Special Function control channel (ch15) you can configure various
pan/tilt options. Return the Special Function channel to zero to resume normal
DMX control. If a delay time is set in the “Function Delay” setting then you
need to add this time to the time below.
Auto-blackout: Light output will be blacked out when the head moves.
• On: hold Special Function between 145-149 for 1 second.
• Off (default): hold Special Function between 150-154 for 1 second.
Pan-Tilt speed: Sets the maximum speed for pan-tilt.
• Fast (default): hold Special Function between 80-84 for 1 second.
• Smooth: hold Special Function between 85-89 for 1 second.
Adjust Pan-Tilt home position (calibration): follow this sequence.
1. Hold Special Function channel between 55-59 for 5 seconds.
2. Set desired Pan and/or Tilt position using the pan/tilt DMX channels.
3. Hold Special Function channel between 165-169 for 5 seconds to store
the settings.
4. Return Special Function channel to zero.
Reset Pan-Tilt home position to factory default: hold Special Function
channel between 245-249 for 5 seconds.
RUSH™ MH10 Beam FX User Manual 29
Electronic dimming
You can set the overall intensity of the beam effect and the ring effect
separately using electronic dimming from 0 to 100%. There is 16-bit coarse
and fine control for each effect.
Dimmer options
Four different dimming curves are available (see ‘Dimmer settings’ on page
21).
The dimming curve can be set by DMX using the Special Function control
channel (ch15).
• Linear: hold Special Function between 60-64 for 1 second.
• Square (default): hold Special Function between 65-69 for 1 second.
• Inverse Square: hold Special Function between 70-74 for 1 second.
• S-curve: hold Special Function between 75-79 for 1 second.
The dimming curve can also be selected from the control menu.
Strobe effects
The fixture electronically provides instant open and blackout, variable speed
flash from 3 to 20 flashes per second, and random strobe effects. Separate
control channels are provided for the beam effect and ring effect.
Colors
The fixture has two separate effect elements, the LED beam effect and the
LED ring effect. Both can produce any color using a combination of red, green
and blue LEDs; the LED beam also has white emitters.
In Extended (93-channel) mode the LED ring is divided into 24 cells, each of
which have independent red, green and blue control. These can be used for
pixel mapping or for further effects. In Basic (24-channel) mode the LED ring is
controlled as a single element.
In either mode, color FX (pre-programmed animation macros) can be run on
the LED ring using the two FX channels. The first channel selects the effect
and the second channel selects the speed of the effect.
A Color channel is provided for both the beam and the ring which allows you to
select a range of preset colors using Lee filter numbers. You can also select a
Color Wheel Rotation effect at varying speeds, and a random color selection
mode. When the Color channel is above zero, the red, green and blue control
channels have no effect.

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before
servicing the fixture.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the fixture. Do not
open the housing. Refer any service operation not described in
this user manual to a qualified service technician.
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.
RUSH™ MH10 Beam FX User Manual 31
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 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. This fuse is located in the fuse
holder to the right of the mains input/output connectors. 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. Remove the fuse holder and replace the spent fuse.
3. Close the fuse holder before reapplying power.
Service and repairs
Never try to repair the fixture by yourself as this may result in damage or
malfunction and it may potentially void your product warranty. The equipment
must only be serviced or repaired by an authorized Martin service technician.
