MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
Introduction
Warning! Before installing, operating or servicing the MAC Ultra Wash lighting fixture, read the
latest version of the fixture’s Safety and Installation Manual, paying particular attention to the Safety
Precautions section. The Safety and Installation Manual is supplied with the fixture and included at
the end of this User Guide. The latest version is also available for download from the MAC Ultra
Wash area of the Martin® website at www.martin.com.
Thank you for selecting a MAC Ultra Wash moving head lighting fixture from Martin®.
This User Guide is a supplement to the Safety and Installation Manual. This User Guide contains
information that is mainly of interest for lighting designers and operators, whereas the Safety and Installation
Manual contains important information for all users, especially installers and technicians.
We recommend that you check the Martin website regularly for updated documentation, because we
publish revised versions each time we can improve the quality of the information we provide and each time

Operating the fixture
Before applying power to or operating the MAC Ultra Wash:
• Read the ‘Safety Information’ section of the fixture’s Safety and Installation Manual that is supplied with
the fixture, included at the end of this User Guide and available for download from the Martin website at
www.martin.com.
• Check that the installation is safe and secure.
• If the fixture is moved from a cold to a warm environment, remove it from its flightcase or packaging and
give it at least two hours to acclimatize before applying power. This will help to avoid damage due to
condensation.
• Check that the fixture is in perfect condition. Do not apply power to a fixture that is obviously damaged, or
you may create a safety risk and make the damage worse.
Introduction

• Check that the base is fastened securely so that the torque reaction when the head moves will not cause
the base to move.
• Check that the head tilt lock is released.
• Be prepared for the head to move suddenly. Check that there will be no risk of collision with persons or
objects.
• Be prepared for the fixture to light up suddenly. Check that no-one is looking at the fixture from close
range.
The fixture does not have an On/Off switch. To apply power to the fixture, connect the power input cable to a
source of AC power that is within the range 200-240 V (nominal), 50/60 Hz. The fixture’s Neutrik powerCON
TRUE1 TOP connectors can also be connected live or under load.
Note that whenever power is applied to the fixture, it will reset all effects and functions to their home
positions and the fixture head will move. This process takes several seconds.
Note also that when the fixture starts up from cold, luminous output is approximately 15% higher than the
fixture’s specified output. Output will decrease to the specified level when the fixture reaches its steady state
temperature after approximately 5 minutes (in Fan Regulated mode).
Cold startup behavior
The fixture behaves as follows when starting up from cold:
• Luminous output at cold startup can be up to approximately 15% higher than the steady state output.
Output reaches the specified level when the fixture reaches its steady state temperature after
approximately 5 minutes (in Fan Regulated mode).
• Power to effects motors is increased until the internal temperature reaches 20°. For a short period this will
result in slightly more noise from CMY and other mechanical effects.
• The FAST mode in EFFECTS SPEED is only available when the fixture has warmed up. EFFECTS
SPEED is set to NORMAL during warmup.

MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
Effects
This section gives details of the effects available in the MAC Ultra Wash. See the DMX protocol table on
page 23 for a list of channels and commands used to control the effects via DMX.
Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or
MSB), and the fine channels set the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control
byte. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel.
Shutter and strobe effects
The fixture’s electronic shutter effect provides instant blackout and snap open as well as regular or random
strobe and pulse effects with variable speed from approx. 1 Hz to 20 Hz.
Dimming
Smooth 0-100% overall dimming is available with 16-bit control resolution. Four dimming curves are
available (see Figure 3 on page 16).
Color mixing
The fixture features dichroic CMY color filters, with 16-bit continuous color mixing available on six DMX
channels.
Color temperature control
16-bit color temperature control is available on two dedicated CTO channels. You can adjust the fixture’s
color temperature smoothly and continuously from 6000 K to 2850 K.
Color wheel
The fixture provides a
color wheel that lets
you select from six
dichroic color filters
plus open (see
Figure 1).
The color wheel can
be scrolled
continuously with
variable speed and
direction.
All color filters are
interchangeable.

Frost
The fixture has a frost effect that can be inserted into the beam to increase the smoothness of the washlight
projection.
The frost effect slightly reduces the zoom range available. With the frost effect applied it is possible to
achieve a beam (half-peak) angle of approximately 8° - 38°.
Iris
The iris can be varied continuously to smoothly reduce the diameter of the beam.
Opening and closing pulse effects with variable speed are also available.
Zoom and focus / edge control
Adjusting focus lets you vary the softness of the edge of the projected beam and wash field. Note that there
will always be some degree of softness at the edge of the beam.
The MAC Ultra Wash’s zoom lens varies the beam angle from 7° to 47° (half peak). Wide zoom angles allow
a more clearly defined beam edge on projection surfaces close to the fixture. At narrower zoom angles, a
more clearly defined edge is only possible further from the fixture.
Applying the frost effect limits the zoom angle slightly (see ”Frost” section above).
Zoom/focus linking
Focus varies with zoom angle, but focus can be linked to zoom so that it automatically adjusts to match
changes in zoom angle.
Linked zoom/focus works within 3 distance ranges: close, medium and long-range. The ranges are as
follows (figures are approximate):
• Close (5 - 10 meters / 16.5 - 33 ft.)
• Medium (10 - 20 meters / 33 - 66 ft.)
• Long (20 meters - infinity / 66 ft. -
∞)
To link zoom and focus, select a distance range using the Control/Settings DMX channel or FOCUS
TRACKING in the control panel PERSONALITY menu. Then adjust focus to obtain the required degree of
softness in the wash field and at the beam edge. Linking is now enabled and focus will auto-adjust to match
changes in zoom angle.
Hyperzoom
The MAC Ultra Wash features a Hyperzoom function that deploys the iris to extend the zoom range and
achieve narrower beam angles. When Hyperzoom is enabled using the Control/Settings DMX channel, the
fixture gradually closes the iris to tighten the beam as you zoom towards Narrow on the Zoom DMX
channel.
When Hyperzoom is enabled and zoom is set to narrow, the usable range of the iris that is available on the
Iris DMX channel is reduced.
Pan and tilt
The MAC Ultra Wash offers 540° of pan and 268° of tilt.
See the pan/tilt orientation reference drawings at the end of this user manual for a guide to the direction of
pan and tilt movement.
16-bit pan and tilt control are available. In each case, the second (LSB) DMX channel adjusts the position
set on the first (MSB) channel.
It is possible to set limits for the pan and tilt range (see details on page 15).

MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
LED PWM frequency control
The PWM frequency of the MAC Ultra’s LEDs has been chosen carefully to avoid flickering on camera. In
some rare situations – for example when using cameras with non-standard settings – it may be necessary to
adjust the LED PWM frequency manually.
From firmware version 1.2.0, you can adjust the PWM frequency via DMX by sending value 255 on either
the FX1 Selection or the FX2 Selection channel. Once activated, the corresponding FX Speed and Direction
channel will control the LED PWM frequency. Note that this change is not stored permanently in the fixture,
so you have to keep the FX Selection and FX Speed/Direction channels at the chosen values in order to
keep the LED PWM frequency at the corresponding custom value.
You can adjust PWM frequency as follows:
High-speed PWM Frequency Mode drives the LEDs at 24 000 Hz. This frequency greatly reduces electronic
switching noise but it gives slightly faster cut-off at the low end of the dimming range.
The default PWM frequency is 3000 Hz.
Pre-programmed FX
From firmware version 1.5.0 the MAC Ultra Wash offers a range of pre-programmed effect macros that we
simply call FX. See a full description under “Compact Mode” on page 27.
FX give instant access to complex dynamic effects with no need for time-consuming programming at the
controller.

enter the menus. The display extinguishes after 10 seconds with no user input and the control panel is
de-activated after 1 minute with no user input. Press the MENU button C again to re-activate.
Shortcuts
If you hold the MENU button C pressed in for 2 - 3 seconds, a shortcut menu with the most important
commands appears. Select a command with the UP and DOWN buttons D and press the ENTER button E
to activate, or press the MENU button C again to cancel.
• RESET ALL resets the whole fixture
• ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the MAC Ultra Wash display 180°
• FOLLOWSPOT TOGGLE puts the fixture into / takes the fixture out of Followspot Mode (see
‘FOLLOWPOT MODE’ on page 16)
• TOGGLE HOLD POSITION uses the pan and tilt motors to hold the head in its current position – a feature
that is designed to be used in Followspot Mode when the operator wants to hold the head in a static
position for a period.
Settings stored permanently
The following settings are stored permanently in the fixture memory and are not affected by powering the
MAC Ultra Wash off and on or by updating the fixture software:
• DMX address
• Fixture ID
• Personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, dimming curve, DMX reset, effect shortcuts, display settings, error
mode, etc.)
• Resettable and non-resettable counters
• Service settings (adjustment, calibration)
These settings can be returned to factory defaults using the control menus or via DMX.
Activating service mode
Holding the MENU and ENTER buttons C and E both pressed in while powering the fixture on puts the
fixture into service mode, in which pan and tilt are disabled and a SERV warning appears in the display.
Service mode removes the risk of unexpected head movement during service adjustments.
To take the fixture out of SERVICE mode, power the fixture off, then reapply power and allow the fixture to
start normally.
Control options
11
Control options
You can control the MAC Ultra Wash using DMX and/or Martin P3 protocol. The fixture auto-senses the type
of data that it is receiving and will respond correctly with no need for manual protocol selection.
The following options are available:
• DMX control over standard DMX cable connected to the fixture’s 5-pin XLR connectors.
• DMX control using Art-Net over Ethernet cable connected to the fixture’s etherCON connectors.
• DMX control using streaming ACN over Ethernet cable connected to the fixture’s etherCON connectors.
• DMX control over DMX cable and P3 video data over Ethernet cable.
• P3 video data with embedded DMX commands over Ethernet cable. If you connect DMX / Art-Net / sACN
to the P3 system controller, the controller can merge the DMX commands into the P3 signal and send
them to the fixture over Ethernet.
The P3 Mix DMX channel lets you choose how the fixture should behave if it receives both DMX data and
P3 video data. You can use the P3 video pixel data to control the intensity and/or the color of the fixture’s
output with real-time control.
Fail-safe connection
The MAC Ultra Wash has a fail-safe network connection. If the fixture loses power or if you shut it down, it
will continue to relay an Ethernet signal, and the Art-Net / sACN / P3 signal to the other networked fixtures in
the daisy chain will not be interrupted.
Data rate
Any Ethernet switch used to relay Art-Net, streaming ACN or P3 data to the MAC Ultra Wash must be
capable of running at 10/100 Mbps speed, as the fixture does not support Gigabit Ethernet data rates.
DMX
The MAC Ultra Wash accepts a DMX-512A data signal.
DMX setup
The DMX 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 channels. If you give two
fixtures of the same type the same address, they will behave identically. Address sharing can be useful for
diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt
options.
DMX addressing is limited to make it impossible to set the DMX address so high that you are left without
enough control channels for the fixture.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. Press Menu to open the main menu. Scroll to DMX SETUP.
2. Press Enter to enter the DMX ADDRESS menu, then scroll to the desired address and press Enter to
save.
3. Press Menu to exit.
DMX modes
The CONTROL MODE menu lets you set the MAC Ultra Wash to one of the two DMX operating modes,
Basic or Compact:
• Basic mode offers 8-bit control of strobe, color wheel, frost, iris and FX plus 16-bit control of dimmer, CMY
color mixing, color temperature control, zoom, focus, pan and tilt.
• Compact mode includes all the functionality of Basic mode but with P3 Mix and FX control options
removed to give a smaller DMX channel footprint of 23 channels.

MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
To set the fixture’s DMX mode:
1. Press Enter to enter the main menu.
2. Scroll to CONTROL MODE, then press Enter. Scroll to select either BASIC or COMPACT, then press
Enter to save.
3. Press Menu to exit.
P3 video
The MAC Ultra Wash accepts video data using Martin’s proprietary P3 video protocol that has been a
well-established standard in the industry for over 10 years. It lets you send a video signal from a media
server or other video source to P3-compliant creative LED fixtures and moving heads over Ethernet cable
using Martin’s reliable P3 data protocol.
The intuitive graphic user interface in Martin P3 controllers lets you visualize and set up a custom
installation that can contain a huge number of fixtures in any kind of physical arrangement within a few
minutes. Device identification is automatic. You can arrange devices on the monitor using drag-and-drop.
Latency from video input to output on fixtures is extremely low, while there is no latency between fixtures as
they are fully synchronized via the P3 protocol. If you use P3 you do not need to worry about IP addresses,
as P3 does not use IP addresses or IP communication.
The P3 protocol will supply both DMX data and video pixel data to fixtures over a network cable. On the
MAC Ultra Wash you can use the video pixel data to control the intensity and/or the color of the fixture’s
output with real-time control using the P3 Mix DMX channel.
RDM
The MAC Ultra Wash can communicate over standard DMX cable and over Art-Net and sACN Ethernet links
using RDM (Remote Device Management) in accordance with ESTA’s American National Standard
E1.20-2006.
RDM is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open standard
for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without affecting existing
non-RDM equipment. It allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specific fixtures.
Note that a firmware update can sometimes expand a fixture’s RDM functionality. If this happens, the
firmware release notes will give details.
RDM ID
Each fixture has a factory-set RDM UID (unique identification number) that makes it addressable and
identifiable in RDM systems. The number can be found in the control panel INFORMATION menu under
RDM UID.
Supported RDM PIDs
The fixture supports the standard RDM PIDs (Parameter IDs) required by ESTA plus manufacturer-specific
PIDs that give a range of configuration options.
See the following tables.

Fixture setup
The onboard control panel lets you configure the fixture using a range of fixture settings. Note that many of
these settings are also available on the Control / settings DMX channel (see “Adjusting settings via DMX” on
page 21).
Fixture ID
The fixture lets you set a four-digit ID number to ease identification of the fixtures in an installation. When a
fixture is powered on for the first time, it displays its DMX address by default. As soon as you set an ID
number other than 0 in FIXTURE ID, the fixture will display this ID number by default, and indicate FIXTURE
ID in the display.
Personality
The PERSONALITY menu provides several options that let you customize the fixture for different
applications:
• The PAN/TILT menu offers the following options:
- PAN INVERSE and TILT INVERSE let you invert the direction of pan and tilt movement. This can be a
fast way of setting symmetrical action in multiple fixtures with no need to reprogram cues.
- FOLLOWSPOT MODE disables the pan and tilt motors so that you can move the head manually using
the integrated handles on the back of the head.
Warning! The head becomes hot during use. Make sure that it is impossible for operators to burn
themselves.
Note that:
* If you enable followspot mode in the PERSONALITY menu (or by sending a command from the DMX
controller on the Control/Settings channel), the fixture starts in HOLD POSITION mode (see below)
to prevent the head from sinking under gravity. The followspot operator must release the head with a
TOGGLE HOLD POSITION command (see below) before the head can be moved freely.
Be prepared for the head to move slightly when you enable followspot mode and the head begins to
hold its position.
* When you disable followspot mode, the fixture resets pan and tilt – be prepared for the head to move
without warning. After the pan and tilt reset the head returns to its original position.
* In followspot mode, the pan and tilt motors are completely disabled to give the smoothest head
movement with maximum freedom, but you must support the head constantly while in followspot
mode (unless you apply TOGGLE HOLD POSITION in the shortcuts menu as described below). If
you let go of the handles, the head will sink under gravity to a tilt down position.
- Using the shortcuts menu that opens if you hold the MENU button pressed in for 2 - 3 seconds (see
“Shortcuts” on page 10), a followspot operator can quickly put the fixture into followspot mode and also
use the TOGGLE HOLD POSITION feature. Applying TOGGLE HOLD POSITION while the fixture is in
followspot mode uses the pan and tilt motors to hold the head in its current position. This menu item lets
the followspot operator quickly toggle between free head movement and static head position.
- LIMIT PAN/TILT lets you define minimum and maximum limits for pan and tilt angles so that you can
install fixtures close to obstacles (such as other fixtures or trusses) with no risk of collision, so that the
beam will only hit a certain area of a stage or set, or so that you can avoid the fixture shining into the
eyes of the audience.
PAN MIN and TILT MIN set minimum limits for pan and tilt, and PAN MAX and TILT MAX likewise set
maximum limits. The fixture’s pan and tilt movement will remain in a ‘safe zone’ within the limits that you
set.
- To set the limits using the control panel menus, go into the LIMIT PAN/TILT menu and enter the
minimum and maximum limits for pan and tilt as the 16-bit values that you would use to move pan
and tilt to those positions via DMX. The range of values available is -32767 to 32768.
- To set the limits via DMX, move the head using the pan and tilt DMX channels to the position where
you want to set minimum pan and tilt limits, then enable Pan minimum and Tilt minimum limits on the
16
MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
Control/Settings DMX channel, sending values for at least 1 second to activate them. Use the same
method to set the maximum pan and tilt limits.
Note that when you power the fixture off, the head may move under its own weight to a position that is
outside its pan and tilt limits.
RESET PAN/TILT LIMITS sets the fixture to default pan and tilt limits that are suitable for mounting the
fixture in a GT Pre-Rig truss using standard Martin half-coupler rigging clamps. If you install the fixture
in this type of pre-rig truss, you only need to execute a RESET PAN/TILT LIMITS command and set
LIMIT ENABLE to ON to avoid the risk of head collisions.
• The SPEED menu gives you two movement speed options:
- PAN/TILT SPEED lets you set pan and tilt movement to STANDARD (suitable for general use) FAST
(optimized for speed) or SMOOTH (optimized for smooth movement – useful for slow movements in
long-throw applications). If you are using the MAC Ultra Wash with a followspot system we recommend
that you set PAN/TILT SPEED to FAST. This will give the best response, acceleration and overall speed.
- EFFECT SPEED lets you set all the fixture’s effects to STANDARD (suitable for general use), FOLLOW
P/T (effects speed follows the speed set for pan/tilt), FAST (optimized for speed) or SLOW (optimized
for smooth movement – useful for slow, gradual effects changes).
• DIMMER CURVE provides four dimming options (see Figure 3):
- LINEAR – (optically linear) the increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is
increased.
- SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is finer at low levels and coarser at high levels.
- INV SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is coarser at low levels and finer at high levels.
- S-CURVE – light intensity control is finer at low levels and high levels and coarser at medium levels.
This curve emulates the RMS voltage dimming characteristics of an incandescent lamp.
• TUNGSTEN EMULATOR gives the warm appearance and warm shift dimming characteristics of a
tungsten lamp fixture.
• COLOR MODE provides different modes of CMY flag operation:
- Raw Mode, the default setting, gives direct control of the CMY flags as in all previous software versions.
- Calibrated Mode provides calibration of the CMY flags. Calibrated Mode may be useful if you notice
slight differences in color performance across multiple fixtures. Note that the colors obtained through
CMY color mixing in Calibrated Mode may differ significantly from the colors obtained in Raw Mode.
Multiple fixtures in the same installation should normally ALL be set to either Raw, Calibrated or
Extended Gamut Mode in order to ensure the most consistent color behavior.
- Extended Gamut Mode (available from fixture software version 2.0.0.) gives improved color consistency
across multiple fixtures but is also optimized for color saturation. Calibrated Mode (see above) provides
calibrated colors throughout the entire spectrum at the expense of slightly less saturated deep colors,
but Extended Gamut Mode provides a combination of calibrated mixed colors and saturated deep
colors.
NB: See note under “Service” on page 20 regarding the need for original (or matching) internal modules
inside the fixture when using Calibrated Mode.
• FOCUS TRACKING sets focus to automatically adjust to match the fixture’s zoom angle. You can enable
or disable focus tracking, and you can optimize this feature to give the best performance at far, medium or
near projection distances.
• VIDEO TRACKING optimizes performance if the MAC Ultra Wash is used with a video source.
In normal use, the fixture processes the signal it receives, tracking (or smoothing out) changes in values
in order to ensure smooth fading between colors and/or intensities. This signal processing takes fractions

of a second and is normally invisible, but if the fixture is used to display video the processing can interfere
with video response times. If you enable video tracking, the fixture does not ‘smooth out’ input but instead
snaps instantly when a value changes.
If you enable video tracking, some lack of smoothness may be visible when dimming slowly via DMX at
low intensity levels.
When running in P3 Mixed Mode, where the video signal controls both the intensity and color of the
output, you may notice that on very fast video content the CMY flags are unable to follow the fast changes
while intensity is able to follow them. This may lead to white flashes with specific types of content. If you
want to use very fast video content, we recommend that you use P3 Video Mode and control color via
DMX instead of via P3.
For best results, we recommend that you enable video tracking when using video as a source and disable
it (the default setting) during DMX control.
• DMX RESET lets you reduce the risk of accidentally sending a reset command via DMX that might cause
an unwanted blackout and/or unwanted light output in the middle of a show, for example, that will take
several seconds to recover from.
• EFFECT SHORTCUTS determines whether the color wheel takes the shortest path between two
positions (shortcuts enabled), crossing the open position if necessary, or always avoid the open position
(shortcuts disabled).
• COOLING MODE lets you select between five cooling fan options:
- CONSTANT FAN FULL optimizes cooling fan operation for the lowest possible temperature by setting
cooling fans to run constantly at full speed. Light output intensity is reduced if necessary to prevent the
fixture from exceeding its maximum operating temperature during full speed fan operation.
- CONSTANT FAN MEDIUM sets cooling fans to run constantly at medium speed. Light output intensity
is reduced if necessary to prevent the fixture from exceeding its maximum operating temperature during
medium speed fan operation.
- CONSTANT FAN LOW sets cooling fans to run constantly at low speed. Light output intensity is
reduced if necessary to prevent the fixture from exceeding its maximum operating temperature during
low speed fan operation.
- CONSTANT FAN ULOW (ULTRALOW) optimizes cooling fan operation for the lowest possible noise by
setting cooling fans to run constantly at ultra-low speed. Light output intensity is reduced if necessary to
prevent the fixture from exceeding its maximum operating temperature during ultra-low speed fan
operation.
- REGULATED FANS adjusts cooling fan operation to balance the fixture’s noise and light output
characteristics. Cooling fans are set to the lowest speed possible and then increased as fixture
operating temperature rises. If the fixture reaches maximum operating temperature and full-speed fan
operation is not enough to control fixture temperature, light output intensity is limited to keep the fixture
within its operating temperature range.
Because the MAC Ultra Wash adjusts the maximum possible output intensity level as a function of fixture
temperature, the choice of cooling mode will affect the maximum intensity level available. The exact level
will vary depending on factors such as ambient temperature, airflow in the installation etc., but to give an
approximate indication, you can expect to obtain the following intensity levels in the fixture’s different
cooling modes relative to the CONSTANT FAN FULL mode:
- REGULATED FANS: 93%
- CONSTANT FAN ULOW: 72%
- CONSTANT FAN LOW: 96%
- CONSTANT FAN MEDIUM: 99%
- CONSTANT FAN FULL: 100%
• KEYLIGHT CALIBRATION is achieved by adding a small amount of CMY to the spectral enhancement
filter and/or the CTO filter in order to give the most consistent white in multiple fixtures. Values for the
amount of cyan, magenta and yellow added are set at the factory, and the calibration data is stored in the
fixture. Replacing either of these filters with a new item may result in a slight shift in color temperature or
spectral enhancement characteristics compared to other fixtures, but the keylight calibration function lets
you recalibrate the fixture and eliminate any inconsistency.
In firmware version 1.5.0, keylight calibration can be toggled between Automatic, Manual and Disabled via
the standard user control menus, the DMX Control and Settings channel, RDM or P3.
18
MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
- AUTOMATIC uses the keylight calibration values programmed during the original calibration process at
the factory.
- MANUAL uses the custom keylight calibration values programmed on the Control / Settings DMX
channel (see “Adjusting keylight calibration via DMX” on page 22).
- DISABLED disables all factory and custom calibration adjustments for the spectral enhancement filter
and CTO filter – no CMY is added to the output when using one of these filters.
• DISPLAY offers the following options for the LCD display:
- DISPLAY SLEEP sets the fixture display to black out a certain period after the last key press on the
fixture’s control panel. If ERROR MODE (see below) is set to NORMAL, the display will light up again if
the fixtures detects and error.
- DISPLAY INTENSITY lets you adjust the brightness of the display backlighting by setting the intensity
to a level from 10% to 100%.
- DISPLAY ROTATION rotates the display manually through 180° so that it can be read easily no matter
how the fixture is oriented.
- TEMPERATURE UNIT lets you choose whether the fixture should display all temperature readings in
Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• ERROR MODE enables or disables error warnings.
- If set to NORMAL, the display is activated and lights up if the fixture needs to report an error.
- If set to SILENT, the fixture does not light the display with error warnings but error messages can still be
read when the display is activated manually.
In both NORMAL and SILENT modes, the status LED lights amber to indicate a warning and red to
indicate an error.
• HIBERNATION MODE sets light output intensity to zero and disables effect deployment and pan/tilt
movement. The main purpose of the mode is to protect the fixture from the intake of airborne material
such as dust and confetti and to provide an option for situations where noise is critical. The small
reduction in power consumption obtained in Hibernation Mode is not the main purpose of this mode.
When you bring the fixture out of hibernation mode, it performs a full reset.
• SCENE CAPTURE lets you capture all the DMX values that the fixture is currently receiving and save
them as a scene. If you enable PLAYBACK, the fixture will show that scene every time it is powered on or
you carry out a reset.
- If the fixture receives a DMX control signal during playback, it will immediately stop showing its saved
scene. If the fixture is powered off and on again or if the fixture is reset, it will again show its saved
scene.
- To stop the fixture showing its saved scene at each power cycle or reset, set PLAYBACK to DISABLE
in the SCENE CAPTURE menu or on the DMX Control / Settings channel.
Managing fixture settings
Factory default settings
FACTORY DEFAULT lets you reload the fixture’s factory default settings. Effect calibration settings are not
affected, so any changes you have made to zoom, pan and tilt offsets will be kept.
Custom settings
The custom configuration function CUSTOM 1 - CUSTOM 3 allows you to save and recall up to three sets of
fixture settings. These include all the settings in the PERSONALITY menu as well as the fixture’s DMX
address.

Fixture information readouts
The following fixture information can be called up in the display:
• POWER ON TIME provides two counters, one user-resettable, one non-resettable, that display the total
number of hours the fixture has been powered on since manufacture.
• POWER ON CYCLES provides two counters, one user-resettable, one non-resettable, that display the
total number of power on/off cycles since manufacture.
• SW VERSION displays the currently installed firmware (fixture software) version.
• RDM UID displays the fixture’s factory-set unique ID for identification in RDM systems.
• FAN SPEEDS provides separate status readouts from the fixture’s cooling fans.
Temperatures
The TEMPERATURES menu provides separate temperature readouts for each of the fixture’s PCBs. You
can choose to see the current readout or the minimum and maximum temperature levels since the fixture
was last powered on.
DMX signal monitoring
The MAC Ultra Wash provides data on the DMX signal it is receiving in the DMX LIVE menu. This
information can be useful for troubleshooting control problems.
• RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may
result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.
• QUALITY displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of usable packets from the data
received. Values much below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the
serial data link that are the most common cause of control problems.
• START CODE displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular
performance.
The DMX LIVE menu lets you scroll through all the fixture’s DMX channels and display the DMX values from
0 - 255 that are being received on each channel.
Test sequences
The FIXTURE TEST menu lets you test:
• all the fixture’s effects
• dimming functionality
• each individual mechanical effect, or
• pan and tilt only.
Before you run a test, prepare for the head to move and the fixture to light up suddenly without warning.
To run a test:
• In the FIXTURE TEST menu, scroll to TEST ALL, TEST LEDS, TEST EFFECTS or TEST PAN/TILT and
press ENTER.
• In the TEST EFFECTS menu, scroll to the effect you want to test and press ENTER to start a test
sequence for that effect.
• In the TEST PAN/TILT menu, choose PAN or TILT, make sure that the fixture base is held securely and
that there is no danger of the fixture falling over or head colliding, then press ENTER to start the test
sequence.
• Press MENU to stop the test sequence.

Manual control
The MANUAL CONTROL menu lets you reset the fixture and operate it without a DMX controller.
To execute commands in the MANUAL CONTROL menu, select the effect that you want to control, then
enter a value from 0 to 255 for 8-bit commands or 0 to 65536 for 16-bit commands to apply that command.
The menu items and values available correspond to the commands listed in the DMX protocol in this User
Manual.
When you exit the MANUAL CONTROL menu, the fixture will keep its effect positions and settings until you
enter a new menu. When you do this, the fixture will revert to default positions and settings. The fixture will
also revert to default positions and settings if you exit and then re-enter MANUAL CONTROL.
also revert to default positions and settings if you exit and then re-enter MANUAL CONTROL.
Service
Servicing the fixture and the contents of the SERVICE menu are also covered in the MAC Ultra Wash Safety
and Installation Manual supplied with fixtures and available for download from the product pages on the
Martin website at www.martin.com.
Pan/tilt auto-calibration
From firmware v. 2.0.0, you can auto-calibrate pan and tilt in the SERVICE → ADJUST menu.
Important! Pan and tilt move through their full movement range during auto-calibration. Make sure that the
fixture is secure and that there is space around the head for full pan and tilt movement before you carry out
this function.
Module and fixture calibration
Fixtures are calibrated at the factory when the light engine, CMY module and effect module (color wheel
effects module) are installed. We therefore recommend that you keep the original modules with the fixture if
you disassemble the fixture for service. If you swap modules from one fixture to another, the fixtures may
need to be recalibrated in order to maintain consistent color characteristics across different fixtures. A small
label indicating the type and serial number of the original fixture is fixed to each module at the factory to help
you keep modules together with their original fixture.
If you have replaced a module or a CMY flag and you notice a difference in color output compared with other
MAC Ultra Wash fixtures, firmware v. 2.0.0 and later lets you choose from various options for deciding which
source of calibration data the fixture will use in the SERVICE
→ COLOR CAL DATA menu. You can set the
fixture to select a source of calibration data automatically, use the data stored on the main board or light
engine board, or you can choose from one of five default calibration data settings, using the setting that
gives the best color match across fixtures.
Calibrated Mode requires original internal modules
For the Calibrated Color Mode to function properly when running (and when uploading) firmware version
1.6.0 or later, the original main board, the original light engine and the original CMY module must be
installed together in the same fixture. If there is a possibility that one or more of these modules has been
replaced, we recommend that a qualified service technician with service documentation from Martin
Professional opens the fixture to check. There is no specific serial number label on the main board module
(UI PCBA), but the light engine module and CMY module are labeled with serial numbers that should be
identical with the serial number located on the bottom of the fixture base if they are the original modules.
Adjusting settings via DMX
21
Adjusting settings via DMX
Certain fixture settings and parameters can be adjusted from the DMX controller on Channel 23, the Fixture
Control/Settings channel. Commands sent on this channel override any settings entered in the fixture’s
onboard control menus.
To help you avoid accidentally applying a setting that may disrupt a light show, for example, the commands
must be held for a certain time before they are applied. For example, the command that turns off the display
illumination must be held for one second to activate it. The command that resets the fixture must be held for
five seconds to activate it. The DMX protocol table in this user manual gives details of times required.
Resetting
Either the entire fixture or individual effects can be reset to their initial positions. Resetting individual effects
can allow on-the-fly recovery if an effect loses its correct position, for example, without having to reset the
entire fixture.
Illuminating the display
You can set the fixture’s display panel to ON or OFF with a DMX command. This makes it possible to read
the fixture’s DMX address while the fixture is installed in the rig but black out the display panel during a
show.
If the display is set to ON via DMX, it will enter sleep mode and black out after a short period of inactivity. To
bring it out of sleep mode, set the display to ON again via DMX.
Control menu setting overrides
The following fixture settings can be adjusted via DMX, overriding the settings entered in the onboard
control menus. See under “DMX protocols” on page 23 for details of these settings.
• Dimming curve
• Tungsten emulation
• Pan and tilt speed
• Effect shortcuts, also called parameter shortcuts (effects take shortest route when changing, even if this
means crossing the open position)
• Focus tracking
• Video tracking
• Fan speed
It is also possible to adjust calibration offsets via DMX. This feature can be useful if you want to fine-tune
pan, tilt or other effects after fixtures have been installed in a lighting rig, for example.
Adjusting calibration offsets via DMX
You can adjust the home positions of pan, tilt and all the fixture’s effects remotely via DMX by setting custom
calibration offsets on the Control/Settings DMX channel.
To set a custom offset in the position of an effect:
1. Set the effect to a specific value via DMX (for example, set all the fixtures in a group to DMX value 200
on the zoom channel).
2. Select ‘Enable calibration adjustment’ on the Control/Settings channel and hold for 5 seconds to
activate.
3. The fixture now registers the current positions of all effects and holds them there. To select an effect to
adjust, you must first release it from its hold position by changing the value on its DMX channel by
+/- 10%. The effect then returns to its hold position. The effect's DMX channel now represents the full
22
MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
calibration range. The range can vary but is typically +/- 5-10%. In this case you can adjust the effect’s
position using that effect’s DMX channel (8 or 16 bit) as follows:
• DMX value 0 = -5%
• DMX value 127/32767 = 0%
• DMX value 255/65535 = +5%.
4. Adjust the effect until it is in the required position (for example, adjust the zoom angle on each fixture in
the group until the angle on all fixtures is identical – this is the position that you will obtain when you
send DMX value 200).
5. Send a ‘Store XXX calibration’ command on the Control/Settings channel for each effect that you adjust
and hold that command for 5 seconds to activate. The new calibration offset is now stored in memory.
6. When you have finished adjusting calibration offsets, send value 0 on the Control/Settings channel and
hold for 5 seconds to exit the DMX calibration procedure and return to normal DMX control.
Calibration offsets that are stored in memory are not affected by powering the fixture off and on or by
updating the fixture software.
Restoring default calibration offsets
If you want to delete all custom calibration offsets and return the offsets to their default values:
1. On the Control/Settings DMX channel, send a ‘Return all calibration settings to factory defaults’
command and hold for 5 seconds.
2. The fixture will return all effects to their default calibration values.
Note that, If you have overwritten the factory default values by applying a SERVICE → CALIBRATION →
SAVE DEFAULTS command in the fixture’s onboard control panel, the fixture will return to the calibration
values that were saved as the default values at that time. The SAVE DEFAULTS command in the fixture’s
control panel permanently replaces the factory default calibration settings with the current custom
calibration settings.
Adjusting keylight calibration via DMX
Recalibration may become necessary to keep the keylight characteristics of multiple fixtures consistent if
you replace the color temperature or spectral enhancement filter with a new one. See also the point
‘KEYLIGHT CALIBRATION’ on page 17.
Adjusting keylight calibration involves setting the amount of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow that is added to the
CTO or spectral enhancement filter in order to fine-tune the output characteristics across multiple fixtures.
You carry out these adjustments remotely via DMX.
To adjust the keylight calibration settings in multiple fixtures:
1. Apply power to the fixtures that you want to calibrate and aim them at an even white surface.
2. On each fixture, go to the Control / Settings DMX channel (Ch. 23), and hold the DMX value required for
Start CTO keylight calibration or Start spectral enhancement keylight calibration for 5 seconds.
The fixture will engage the CTO or spectral enhancement filter and set CMY to 0%.
3. On each fixture’s CMY channels, adjust the CMY values until the output of all fixtures looks the same.
4. On the Control / Settings channel, hold the DMX value required for Store CTO keylight calibration or
Store spectral enhancement keylight calibration for 5 seconds.
The fixture will now behave as follows:
• When keylight calibration is used in MANUAL mode, it will use the custom values stored using the above
procedure.
• When keylight calibration is used in AUTOMATIC mode, it will use the values stored during the original
calibration procedure at the factory.

MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
FX: pre-programmed effects
FX are implemented from MAC Ultra Wash firmware version 1.5.0. You can quickly check which
firmware version a fixture is running using INFORMATION
→
FW VERSION in the fixture’s control
menus. For information on updating firmware, see the MAC Ultra Wash Safety and Installation
Manual supplied with the fixture and available for download from www.martin.com.
The table on the following pages lists the pre-programmed dynamic FX (effect macros) available in the MAC
Ultra Wash. To control the FX you can:
• Select an effect, or two effects that can run simultaneously, on DMX channels 25 and 27 by sending the
values listed in the table.
• Adjust effect speed on channels 26 and 28.
• Adjust synchronization of effects across different fixtures on channel 29.
Effects types
Intensity FX (1-15)
These effects modulate the intensity of the output while keeping the color(s) set on the CMY and color
wheel channels and any other effects applied.
Animotion effects (32-46)
The MAC Ultra Wash’s Animotion effects modulate the ten individual segments of the fixture's LED engine
individually, leading to unique animated effects.
Color FX (64-91)
These effects override the color(s) set on the CMY and color wheel channels.
Beam shaping FX (96-110)
These effects use the fixture’s iris and zoom to dynamically change the shape of the beam.
Pan and tilt FX (224-235)
These effects use pan and tilt to move the beam following pre-programmed shapes.
PWM Tune (255)
Sending DMX value 255 on one of the FX selection channels 25 or 27 lets you adjust the LED PWM
frequency. See “LED PWM frequency control” on page 8 for details.

Service and display messages
The MAC Ultra Wash gives service and maintenance information by displaying a large 3- or 4-character
short code and a smaller full-text message in the fixture’s display. The short code is visible at a distance,
allowing easier reading with the fixture still in the rig, for example, while the full-text message gives more
detailed information.
Excessively high temperatures
If any of the temperature sensors reports that the fixture has exceeded its recommended temperature
range, the fixture reports a temperature warning and reduces light output to reduce its temperature. If the
temperature reaches a dangerous level, light output is shut down completely.
Temperature warnings are canceled and full light output becomes available again as soon as the
temperature returns to normal.
Warning messages
Warning messages indicate that either:
• problems might appear in the future if no action is taken, or
• the user needs to pay special attention to a function or procedure when working with the fixture.
The MAC Ultra Wash communicates warnings as follows:
• Warning codes are shown continuously in the display and disappear when the user reacts to the warning.
• If more than one warning is detected, all warnings are displayed in sequence.
• If the display is inactive, the fixture’s status LED (see Figure 2 on page 9) flashes orange to indicate that
there is a warning. Activating the display will show the warning.
The possible warning messages are listed in Table 5 below

*High temperature warnings are canceled as soon as temperature returns to normal. If temperature reaches
cutoff level, the warning is replaced by a cutoff error message.
Error messages
Error messages indicate that a problem is present. The MAC Ultra Wash communicates errors as follows:
• Error messages flash in the display.
• If more than one error is detected, the fixture flashes all errors three times each.
• Errors are shown in the display regardless of display status: they override an inactive display and any
other information that the display might be showing.
• If an error is present, the status LED flashes red.

PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
• The fixture has an ingress protection rating of IP20 and is for use in dry locations only. Do not expose it to
rain or moisture.
• Do not remove any cover from the fixture except as described under “Service and maintenance” on
page 15.
• Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power before servicing it and when it is not in use.
• Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth).
• Use only a source of AC mains power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both
overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
• The fixture accepts AC mains power at 200-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to
mains power that is not within this range.
• The power input cable must be 14 AWG or 1.5 mm
2
minimum conductor size and heat-resistant to 90° C
(194° F) minimum. Cables must have three conductors and an outer cable diameter of 6 - 12 mm (0.24 -
0.47 in.). In North America the cable must be UL/CSA-recognized, hard usage, type SJT, SJOOW or
better. In the EU, the cable must be type HO5VV-F, H07RN-F or better.
• Connect only a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W (TOP) type cable connector to the power input
socket.
• Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment, connectors and cables are in perfect
condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.
• Isolate the fixture from power immediately if the power plug or any seal, cover, cable, or other component
is damaged, defective, deformed, wet or showing signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until repairs
have been completed.
• The DMX and Ethernet transceivers of the fixture are isolated/SELV to prevent ground loops and for
safety reasons.
• The fixture contains components that are accessible and live at high voltage while the fixture is connected
to power and that remain under tension for up to five minutes after power is disconnected. Wait for at least
five minutes after disconnecting from power before opening any of the fixture’s covers.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual or in the MAC Ultra Wash User Guide to Martin
Service or an authorized Martin Service partner.
• The light source contained in this fixture shall be replaced by Martin Service or an authorized Martin
Service partner only.
• Do not use this equipment at an altitude of more than 2000 m (6570 ft.) above sea level.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
• The exterior of the fixture becomes hot during use. After 5 minutes of operation a surface temperature of
85° C (185° F) shall be expected. The maximum steady state surface temperature is also 85° C (185° F).
Avoid contact by persons and materials.
• Allow the fixture to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.
• Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.2 m (8 in.) away from the fixture.
• Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.
• Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.2 m (8 in.) around fans and air vents.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 4.75 m (15.6 ft.) of the fixture.
• Do not expose the front lens to sunlight or any other strong light source from any angle. Lenses can focus
the sun's rays inside the fixture, creating a potential fire hazard.
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
• Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual or the fixture’s User Guide or install other
than genuine Martin parts. Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any lens or other optical
component. Use only accessories approved by Martin to mask or modify the light beam.
PROTECTION FROM EYE INJURY
• Do not stare at the light source.
• Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may
concentrate the light output.
• Ensure that persons are not looking at the fixture when the fixture lights up suddenly. This can happen
when power is applied, when the fixture receives a DMX signal, or when certain control menu items are
selected.
• Disconnect the fixture from power at all times when the fixture is not in use.
6
MAC Ultra Wash Safety and Installation Manual
• Provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or near the fixture.
• This fixture corresponds to Risk Group 3 according to EN 62471 when all photobiological risks are
considered and Risk Group 2 according to IEC/TR 62778 for blue light only. It emits possibly hazardous
optical radiation.
• The fixture falls into the Risk Group categories shown below according to both EN 62471 and IEC/TR
62778 under worst-case conditions:
• At a distance of less than 4 m (13.2 ft.) from the fixture, the light output can potentially cause eye or skin
injury before an exposed person's natural aversion responses (blink reflex and reaction to skin discomfort)
can protect them. At distances greater than 4 m (13.2 ft.), potential eye and skin injury hazards from the
light output are normally prevented by natural aversion reflexes.
• Position the fixture so that persons cannot be exposed to the fixture's light output at a distance of less
than 4 m (13.2 ft.) from the fixture, and so that prolonged staring into the light output at less than 77 m
(253 ft.) from the fixture is not expected.
PROTECTION FROM INJURY
• Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use. The fixture is not portable when
installed.
• Do not lift or carry the fixture alone.
• Apply the tilt lock and use the handles on the base and on the yoke when carrying the fixture.
• The handles on the back of the head are designed for use by a followspot operator only. Do not use them
to carry the fixture.
• Use two evenly spaced omega brackets with clamps to suspend the fixture from rigging structures. Do not
use only one clamp.
• When clamping the fixture to a truss or other supporting structure, use two half-coupler clamps. Do not
use G-clamps, quick-trigger clamps or any other type of clamp that does not completely encircle the
supporting structure when fastened.
• The fixture weighs 39 kg (86 lbs.). When suspending the fixture, check that the supporting structure and
all hardware used to suspend the fixture can hold at least six (6) times the weight of all devices
suspended from them and that the installation respects all similar safety factors that are required by
locally applicable regulations. Check that the structure and hardware are in perfect condition and suitable
for their purpose.
• If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, install as described in
this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that is approved by an official body such as
TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it secures. The safety cable must comply with
EN/IEC 60598-2-17:2018 Section 17.7.4 or BGV C1 / DGUV 17, and must be capable of bearing a static
suspended load at least six times (or more if required by locally applicable regulations) the weight that it
secures.
• Eliminate as much slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the rigging
truss, for example). Make sure that, if the primary attachment fails, the fixture cannot fall more than 20 cm
(8 inches) maximum before the safety cable catches it.
• If the safety cable attachment point becomes deformed, do not suspend the fixture. Have the fixture
repaired by an authorized Martin service partner.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or
moving the fixture.
• Allow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with a person or object such as
another fixture when it moves.

Unpacking
The MAC Ultra Wash is supplied in a SIP insert that is intended for use in the Martin MAC Ultra series
flightcase. The fixture and SIP insert are supplied in a cardboard box that is designed to protect the fixture
during initial shipment only. We strongly recommend that you store and transport fixtures in the rugged
flightcases available from Martin (or custom flightcases of the same quality) using the SIP insert supplied
with the fixture. The Martin flightcase holds two fixtures.
See the MAC Ultra Wash area of the Martin website at www.martin.com for details of flightcases and other
accessories available for this fixture.
Avoiding condensation
If you move the fixture from a cold to a warm environment, remove it from its flightcase or packaging and
give it at least two hours to acclimatise before you apply power. This will help to avoid damage due to
condensation.
Tilt lock
Check that the tilt lock is released before applying power to the
fixture.
See Figure 1. To release the tilt lock, slide the tilt lock button
(arrowed) to the Unlocked position. To reapply the tilt lock, first
check that the power is off and then slide the tilt lock button back
to the Locked position.
Release the tilt lock before putting the fixture into its SIP insert
and flightcase or cardboard box for transport or storage.
Packing
Important! Allow the fixture to cool for 30 minutes and release the tilt
lock before packing it for storage or transport.
The SIP insert supplied with the fixture is designed to support
the head with the tilt lock in the Unlocked position. Release the
tilt lock before putting a fixture into its SIP insert in a flightcase or
cardboard box. Leaving the tilt lock applied may cause damage
that is not covered by the product warranty when the fixture is
moved.

MAC Ultra Wash Safety and Installation Manual
Physical installation
Installation safety
The fixture weighs 39 kg (86 lbs.), not including installation hardware.
See “Dimensions” on page 2 for details of the fixture’s physical dimensions.
Warning! The MAC Ultra Wash has a powerful pan motor. The torque reaction when the head is
panned suddenly can cause the base to move if the fixture is standing unsecured on a surface. Do
not apply power to the MAC Ultra Wash unless the base is securely fastened to a stable surface or
structure.
Warning! Use two evenly spaced rigging clamps to rig the fixture. Do not hang the fixture from only
one clamp. Lock omega brackets to the base of the fixture with both 1/4-turn fasteners. Fasteners
are locked only when turned a full 90° clockwise.
Warning! When suspending the fixture above ground level, secure it against failure of primary
attachments by attaching a safety cable that is approved as a safety attachment for the weight of the
fixture to the attachment point in the base. Do not use the carrying handles for secondary
attachment.
Warning! When clamping the fixture to a truss or other structure at any other angle than with the
yoke hanging vertically downwards, use two clamps of half-coupler type. Do not use any type of
clamp that does not completely encircle the structure when fastened.
Warning! To avoid head collisions when installing MAC Ultra Wash fixtures beside each other, allow
a minimum center-to-center distance between fixtures of 810 mm (32 in.). The fixture also contains a
programmable pan/tilt limitation system that allows you to limit head movement where necessary in
order to prevent head collisions. See the MAC Ultra Wash User Guide for details.
Warning! You can fasten the fixture to a surface with ratchet straps passed through the carrying
handles in the base so that the fixture cannot fall over, but do not over-tighten the ratchet straps or
you may damage the carrying handles and leave the fixture in an unsafe condition.
Warning! See Figure 2. The MAC Ultra Wash’s lens can focus sunlight and strong artificial light,
creating a potential fire hazard and causing damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
Position or shade the head so that the front lens will not be exposed to sunlight or another strong
light source from any angle – even for a few seconds.
Important! Do not point the output from other lighting fixtures at the MAC Ultra Wash, as powerful
light can damage the display.
Installation options
The MAC Ultra Wash can be fastened to a surface such as a stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation
using two omega brackets (see Figure 4) and rigging clamps. Clamps must be half-coupler type (see Figure
4) or equivalent type that fully encircles the truss unless the fixture is installed with the yoke hanging
vertically downwards, in which case other clamp types that are approved for the supported weight may be
used.
Figure 2: Potential sunlight damage
Physical installation
9
The four pairs of quarter-turn mounting points in the base accept 106 mm (4.17 in.) center-to-center omega
brackets (see Figure 4) for rigging clamp attachment. The omega brackets can be fastened to the base
parallel to the fixture’s sides or diagonally (see Figure 3).
Installation hardware
Two omega brackets suitable for use when rigging the MAC Ultra Wash are supplied with the fixture. Martin
can supply as accessories suitable rigging clamps and safety cables that are approved for the weight of the
fixture. Contact your Martin supplier for details.
Clamping the fixture to a truss
To clamp the MAC Ultra Wash to a rigging truss:
1. Check that all rigging hardware is undamaged and can bear at least six (6) times the weight of the fixture
or as required by locally applicable regulations. Check that the supporting structure can safely bear the
weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc. and complies with locally
applicable regulations.
2. Bolt each rigging clamp securely to an omega bracket with an M12 bolt (minimum grade 8.8) and
self-locking nut.

3. See Figure 3 on page 9. Align the first
clamp and bracket with 2 mounting
points in the base, and engage both the
clamp bracket’s quarter-turn fasteners in
corresponding sockets in the base. See
Figure 4. Turn the levers on the
quarter-turn fasteners a full 90°
clockwise to lock.
4. Repeat for the second clamp, installing it
opposite the first so that the fixture will
be held in balance.
5. Block access under the work area. See
Figure 5. Note the position of the arrow
marked FRONT on the base of the
fixture. Working from a stable platform,
hang the fixture on the rigging truss with
the arrow marked FRONT facing
towards the area to be illuminated.
Tighten the rigging clamps.
6. See Figure 6. Install a safety cable that is
approved as a safety attachment for the
weight of the fixture by looping it through
one of the safety cable attachment points
(arrowed) in the bottom of the base and
around a secure anchoring point so that
the safety cable will catch the fixture if a
primary attachment fails. Remove as
much slack as possible from the safety
cable (by looping it more than once
around the truss, for example).
7. Check that the tilt lock is released. Check
that there are no combustible materials
within 0.2 m (8 in.) or surfaces to be
illuminated within 4.75 m (15.6 ft.) of the
fixture, and that there are no flammable
materials nearby.
8. Check that there is no possibility of the
head colliding with objects or other
fixtures.
9. Check that other lighting fixtures cannot project light at the MAC Ultra Wash, as powerful illumination can
damage the fixture’s display.

AC power
Electrical safety
The MAC Ultra Wash features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to AC
mains power at 200-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to power that is not within this
range. Note that the fixture must not be connected to AC mains power at 100-120 V.
Maximum current draw is as follows:
• At 200 V: 8.0 A
• At 240 V: 6.7 A
Typical half-cycle RMS inrush current: 17 A at 230 V, 50 Hz.
Typical earth-leakage current: 0.59 mA.
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power.
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be electrically connected to ground (earth). The
AC mains power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault
(earth-fault) protection.
Power input
Important! Connect the MAC Ultra Wash directly to AC mains power. Do not connect it to a dimmer
system; doing so may damage the fixture.
The MAC Ultra Wash automatically adapts to AC mains power at 200-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz.
Connect the fixture only to AC mains power that is within this range.
The fixture requires a power input cable with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W (TOP) female cable
connector for AC mains power input. The cable must meet the requirements listed under “Protection from
electric shock” on page 5. Martin can supply suitable cables with female TRUE1 (TOP) input connectors
and can also supply loose connectors. The specifications on the MAC Ultra Wash page on the Martin
website at www.martin.com give details of all the suitable cables and connectors available from Martin.
Connection to an AC mains power source
When powering on, the MAC Ultra Wash will typically draw a half-cycle RMS inrush current of 17 A for a few
milliseconds at 230\ V, 50\ Hz. To avoid unwanted tripping, we recommend the use of MCBs (Miniature
Circuit Breakers) that are classified Type D according to IEC 60898/UL489/CSA C22.2 No. 5.
The power cable can be hard-wired to a building installation circuit or fitted with a mains plug (cord cap) to
allow connection to local AC mains power outlets.
If you install a mains plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug rated minimum 16 A,
250 V (example rating: EN 60309-2 CEE 2P+E 16 A/250 VAC), following the plug manufacturer’s
instructions. Table 1 shows some possible mains power pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly
identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

MAC Ultra Wash Safety and Installation Manual
If you need to install a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector on a power cable, follow the instructions on the
Neutrik website at www.neutrik.com.
Applying power
Warning! The MAC Ultra Wash does not have a power On/Off switch. As soon as you connect an
energized power input cable to the fixture or apply power to a power input cable that has already
been connected, the fixture will power up: check that there is no safety risk from head movement or
intense light output.
To apply power to the MAC Ultra Wash:
1. Check that the tilt lock is released and that the base is held securely. Be prepared for the fixture to light
up and the head to move suddenly when power is applied.
2. See Figure 7. line up the keys
in the power input cable’s
TRUE1 connector with the
keyways in the MAINS IN
socket (arrowed). Insert the
connector into the socket and
twist clockwise to engage. If
the connector seems difficult
to twist, remove it from the
socket, check that you have
lined up the keyways correctly
and try again – do not use excessive force. Make sure that the connector latch clicks and that the
connector is locked into the socket.
3. Apply power to the input cable to power the fixture on.
To disconnect the MAC Ultra Wash from power, pull the release latch on the connector towards you to
unlock the connector, twist the connector counter-clockwise, and then withdraw it from the MAINS IN
socket.
Figure 7: Mains input socket
Data links
13
Data links
Important! Shut down power to the fixture before connecting to or disconnecting from data.
The MAC Ultra Wash has two pairs of connectors for control data In/Out:
• one pair of XLR sockets (A in Figure 8), and
• one pair of etherCON sockets (B in Figure 8).
Only use one socket type – either XLR or etherCON – at any one time.
Data via DMX cable
The MAC Ultra Wash has 5-pin locking XLR sockets (see A in Figure 8) for DMX and RDM input and output
via DMX cable. The default pin-out on both sockets is:
• pin 1 to shield
• pin 2 to data 1 cold (-)
• pin 3 to data 1 hot (+).
Pins 4 and 5 are not used by the fixture but are bridged between input and output sockets. These pins can
therefore be used as a pass-through connection for an additional data signal if required.
Tips for reliable data transmission via DMX cable
• Use shielded twisted-pair high-quality DMX cable.
• 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.
• Do not use microphone cable, as standard microphone cable does not have the correct impedance and
cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs.
• To split the data link into branches, use an optically isolated splitter-amplifier.
• Do not overload the DMX data link. You can connect up to a maximum of 32 devices on a serial DMX link.
• Install a DMX termination plug on the last fixture on the link.
Connecting to data via DMX cable
To connect the MAC Ultra Wash to DMX and/or RDM data carried over DMX cable:
1. Shut down power to the fixture.
2. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the MAC Ultra Wash’s data input (male XLR) socket
using good-quality DMX cable.
3. Run DMX cable from the MAC Ultra Wash’s data output (female XLR) socket to the data input of the next
fixture and continue until the link is complete.
Figure 8: Data connections
A
B
14
MAC Ultra Wash Safety and Installation Manual
4. Terminate the data link by connecting a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor between the data 1 hot (+) and cold
(-) conductors at the data output of the last fixture on the link. If the link is divided into branches using a
DMX splitter, terminate each branch of the link.
5. You can now apply power.
Data via Ethernet cable
The MAC Ultra Wash has Neutrik etherCON data sockets (see B in Figure 8) that support DMX and RDM
over Art-Net and sACN as well as Martin P3 video. Either socket can be used for input and the other socket
used for throughput.
The etherCON data sockets have a fail-safe bypass feature. This means that the fixture will relay a data
signal from the socket used for input to the socket used for throughput even if power to the fixture is shut
down or lost.
Tips for reliable data transmission via Ethernet cable
• Use shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable of type S/UTP, SF/UTP, S/STP or SF/STP only. The cable must
be rated Cat 5e or better.
• The cable shield must be electrically connected to connector housings, and the other devices on the data
link must also support shielded connections.
• Note that the MAC Ultra Wash is compatible with 10/100 Mbit Ethernet only. Do not connect the fixture to
a network port or device that is fixed to Gigabit Ethernet speed. If you need to integrate a MAC Ultra Wash
in a Gigabit Ethernet network, use a network switch to allow the link towards the fixture to operate at
100 Mbit/s Ethernet speed.
• To split the data link into branches, use a standard network switch that is able to operate at 100 Mbit/s
towards the fixtures.
• Even though every fixture has a fail-safe bypass mechanism and minimal latency insertion, we
recommend that you avoid connecting more than 50 devices in a single daisy-chain or branch.
• Unlike DMX cable, Ethernet cable does not require termination at the end of a daisy-chain of fixtures.
Connecting to data via Ethernet cable
To connect the MAC Ultra Wash to Art-Net, sACN or P3 video via Ethernet cable:
1. Shut down power to the fixture.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to either of the fixture’s etherCON data sockets.
3. Run Ethernet cable from the fixture’s other etherCON data socket to a data socket on the next fixture.
4. Continue connecting data sockets as described above until the link is complete.
5. You can now apply power.
Simultaneous DMX and P3 control
To control the MAC Ultra Wash using DMX/Art-Net/sACN and P3 video at the same time, connect the
DMX/Art-Net/sACN signal to the P3 System Controller. The P3 Controller will then merge DMX commands
and video data together and send a combined data signal to fixtures over the Ethernet link using the P3
protocol.
Service and maintenance
15
Service and maintenance
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before servicing the MAC Ultra Wash.
Warning! Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes
before handling. Do not stare into the light output. Be prepared for the fixture to light and move
suddenly when connected to power.
Warning! The MAC Ultra Wash contains components that are accessible and live at high voltage
while the fixture is connected to power and that remain under tension for five minutes after power is
disconnected. Only qualified technicians are permitted to open the fixture. Users may carry out
external cleaning, replace the battery and replace air filters as described in this section, following
the warnings and instructions provided, but any service operation not described in this manual or in
the fixture’s User Guide must be referred to an authorized Martin service technician.
Important! 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.
Pressing MENU and ENTER buttons immediately when the fixture name appears in the display while
powering the fixture on puts the fixture into service mode in which pan and tilt motors are deactivated and
SERV appears in the display. To take the fixture out of service mode, power off and then power on again
normally.
The MAC Ultra Wash User Guide (available for download from the MAC Ultra Wash page on
www.martin.com) gives full details of the menus in the fixture’s control panel.
The user must clean the MAC Ultra Wash periodically to maintain optimum performance and cooling. The
user may also upload firmware (fixture software) to the fixture via the DMX data input port or USB port using
firmware and instructions from Martin. All other service operations on the MAC Ultra Wash must be carried
out by Martin, its approved service agents or trained and qualified personnel using the official Martin service
documentation for the MAC Ultra Wash.
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 your Martin supplier for details.
It is Martin policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials
available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, optical
components are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in gradual changes in color
over many thousands of hours of use. The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions
and environment, so it is impossible to specify precisely whether and to what extent performance will be
affected. However, you may eventually need to replace optical components if their characteristics are
affected by wear and tear after an extended period of use and if you require fixtures to perform within very
precise optical and color parameters.
Tilt lock
The tilt position of the head can be locked for service. See Figure 1 on page 7.
Important! Release the tilt lock before applying power to the fixture.
Leaving the tilt lock applied during transport can result in damage that is not covered by the product
warranty. The SIP insert is designed to protect the head from shocks during transport. Release the
tilt lock before packing the fixture in its SIP insert for transport or storage in its flightcase or
cardboard box.

MAC Ultra Wash Safety and Installation Manual
Cleaning
Regular cleaning is very important for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust, dirt, smoke particles, fog
fluid residues, etc. degrades the fixture’s light output and cooling ability.
Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore
impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC Ultra Wash. Cooling fans suck in airborne dust
and smoke particles, and in extreme cases fixtures may require cleaning after surprisingly few hours of
operation. 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 few 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.
Follow these precautions when cleaning the fixture:
• Work in a clean, dry, well-lit area.
• Use gentle pressure only. Do not use any product that contains abrasives. Do not use solvents. Use care
when cleaning optical components: surfaces are fragile and easily scratched.
• Use a vacuum cleaner – do not use a pressurized air jet. A vacuum cleaner will remove dirt from the
fixture and from the area where you are working. An air jet may blow dirt into the fixture, and this can
cause visible objects in projections and possibly even damage to the fixture.
• Do not apply a strong vacuum directly to a cooling fan, as the strong airflow may spin the fan blades fast
enough to cause damage. Instead, hold the vacuum cleaner nozzle a few centimeters away from the fan
and dislodge dust with a soft brush.
Cleaning procedure
To clean the fixture:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
2. Vacuum 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, using a soft brush to help dislodge dust.
3. Clean the front lens on the front of the head by wiping gently with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened
with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub the surface 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.
Battery replacement
Warning! Disconnect the fixture from AC power before replacing its battery. Do not attempt to recharge the
battery, or you may create a risk of fire or explosion. Replace the battery with one of the same type
only. New batteries are available from Martin (P/N 05801011).
The MAC Ultra Wash has a
non-rechargeable CR123A 3-volt
lithium battery that provides
power to the control panel and
display when the fixture is not
connected to AC mains power. If
the battery runs flat you must
replace it with a new one. Do not
attempt to recharge it.
Figure 9: Battery compartment
Service and maintenance
17
See Figure 9. The battery is located in the USB port / battery compartment (arrowed) next to the control
panel on the base of the fixture.
To replace the battery:
1. Disconnect the fixture from AC
mains power and allow to cool.
2. See Figure 10. Push down on the
locking tab (arrowed) with a
screwdriver to release the USB
port / battery compartment cover
and remove the cover.
3. Remove the used battery and
insert a new one of the correct
type, respecting battery polarity
(positive terminal facing
downwards, away from the
head).
4. Reinstall the compartment cover and check that it is closed securely before reapplying power.
Send used batteries to an authorized waste recycling center for recycling. Do not treat a battery as
household waste.
Head air filters
MAC Ultra Wash fixtures are protected from the entry of dirt and dust by two air filters, one on each side of
the head. Free airflow through filters is important for effective cooling, effective performance and maximum
product life. Air filters therefore require periodical service.
Two types of air filter are available from Martin suppliers as service items for the MAC Ultra Wash:
• Re-usable air filters with a metal element, available as single filters (P/N 5132434-00).
• Disposable air filters with a paper element, available in sets of 12 filters (P/N 50400765).
Regardless of which type of filter the fixture is supplied with, you are of course free to choose which type
you will use. The metal filters can be cleaned and re-used. Note that the filter mesh is not as fine as with
paper filters, so the fixture may require internal cleaning at shorter intervals than you are used to.
Air filter service intervals depend on the environment the fixture is used in. Inspect air filters visually at
regular intervals. Clean the fixture’s metal re-usable filters – or replace paper filters – if they are visibly
contaminated by dust, dirt, residue from atmospheric effects, etc.
To service the head air filters:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow components to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Position the head so that the air filter covers are accessible and apply the tilt lock (see Figure 1 on page
7).
3. See Figure 11 (MAC Ultra Performance model shown). Unclip and remove the two air filter covers, one
on each side of the head.
4. Remove the air filters from their recesses in the head. Dispose of paper air filters. Do not try to clean or
re-use a paper air filter. Clean metal air filters with a soft brush and vacuum cleaner or compressed air,
Figure 10: Battery replacement

MAC Ultra Wash Safety and Installation Manual
taking care to avoid damaging the filter mesh. If metal filters are greasy, you can clean them in a
household dishwasher at maximum 50° C (122° F), short cycle recommended. Dry them completely
before reinstalling. The metal filter is designed to be re-used, but replace it with a new item if it is not in
clean, undamaged condition after cleaning.
5. Place the clean air filters into their recesses in the head, making sure that there is no gap for air to pass
around the edges of the filter.
6. Hook the rear end of each filter cover into the head and push the front end into the head until its clip
engages fully. Check that the covers are held securely and cannot fall out of the head.
7. Release the tilt lock before applying power or packing the MAC Ultra Wash in its flightcase.
Lubrication
The MAC Ultra Wash does not require lubrication under normal circumstances. Moving parts can be
checked and a long-lasting Teflon-based grease reapplied by a Martin service partner if necessary.
Service utilities
The fixture’s SERVICE menu provides utilities for technicians rigging or servicing the fixture:
• ERROR LIST displays a list of any status messages stored in memory. Up to 20 messages can be
displayed.
• FAN CLEAN lets you set cooling fans to run at high speed to remove loose dust.
• PAN/TILT FEEDBACK lets you disable feedback to the fixture software from the pan, tilt and effects
positioning systems.
- If feedback is set to ON and a pan, tilt or effect position error is detected, the shutter closes and the
effect resets.
- This feature can be disabled by setting feedback to OFF. The OFF setting is not saved when the fixture
is powered off, and the system will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts.
• ADJUST is for use by Martin Service only. Important! Do not use the items in this menu without guidance
or service documentation from Martin Service.
• For details of the CALIBRATION menu, see next section,
• USB provides two utilities:
- USB → FIRMWARE lets you update the firmware (fixture software) from a USB flash memory drive. For
a detailed guide to updating the firmware from a USB drive, see ”Installing using a USB memory
device” later in this chapter.
- USB → SERVICE LOG (available from firmware version 1.2.0 which is due for release mid-2021) lets
you save the fixture ID, current counter values and any status messages stored in the fixture’s memory
to a USB flash memory drive. You can also delete all the status messages permanently from the
fixture’s memory.
Calibration
Martin fixtures are adjusted and calibrated at the factory, and further calibration should only be necessary if
fixtures have been subjected to abnormal shocks during transport or if normal wear and tear has affected
alignment after an extended period of use. You can also use calibration to fine-tune fixtures for a particular
location or application.
The SERVICE → CALIBRATION menu lets you define offsets in the fixture software to adjust the positions
of pan, tilt and effects relative to the DMX values the fixture receives. This allows you to fine-tune fixtures
and achieve uniform behavior in multiple fixtures.
We recommend the following procedure:
1. Aim a reference fixture and the fixtures that you want to calibrate at a flat surface. You can calibrate
fixtures one at a time or line up multiple fixtures in a row. Apply power and set pan, tilt and effects to the
same DMX values.
2. In each fixture, scroll through the effects in the SERVICE → CALIBRATION menu and adjust the
position of any effects that need calibration while comparing the light output with the reference fixture.
The calibration range available varies depending on the effect.
3. After selecting a value, press ENTER to confirm. The fixture will remember any new calibration values
that you have set, and the new positions will not be affected by powering the fixture off and on.
Service and maintenance
19
Loading and storing default calibration offsets
• CALIBRATION → LOAD DEFAULTS lets you erase any custom calibration offsets that you have defined
and reload the default calibration offsets that are stored in memory.
• CALIBRATION → SAVE DEFAULTS lets you overwrite the factory default calibration offsets that are
stored in memory with any new offsets that you have defined.
Important! Overwriting is permanent. Once you have saved new default offsets, LOAD DEFAULTS will
load the new defaults, not the original factory defaults. Once you have used a CALIBRATION → SAVE
DEFAULTS command it will be impossible to restore the original factory defaults, even with a firmware
upload.
Installing firmware
Important! Do not switch the fixture off or disconnect the source of the firmware during an update, or the
firmware will be corrupted.
The currently installed firmware (fixture software) version appears briefly in the control panel display at
startup. You can also check it at any time in the INFORMATION menu in the fixture’s control panel.
Fixture information and settings are not affected when you upload new firmware to the fixture.
If you update firmware to a newer version, check the MAC Ultra Wash area of www.martin.com to see
whether updated versions of the Safety and Installation Manual and User Guide are available for the fixture.
You need the following in order to install firmware:
• A Windows PC running the latest version of the Martin Companion software suite that is available for
download from the Martin website at www.martin.com.
• The latest MAC Ultra Wash firmware files. Martin Companion automatically downloads these from the
Martin fixture firmware cloud when you run Martin Companion on a PC that is connected to the Internet.
•Either:
- a Martin Companion Cable USB-DMX hardware interface (you can find information about this product
on the Martin website at www.martin.com), or
- a USB flash memory drive formatted in Windows using the FAT32 file system.
Installing using a Martin Companion Cable
If you use a Martin Companion Cable it is possible to update multiple fixtures in one operation. All MAC Ultra
Wash fixtures that are powered on and connected via a DMX link to the fixture that you update will also have
their firmware updated.
To install the MAC Ultra Wash firmware using a Martin Companion Cable:
1. Apply power to the MAC Ultra Wash fixture (or fixtures) and allow it (or them) to boot.
2. Connect the Martin Companion Cable’s USB connector to a USB port on your PC. Connect the Martin
Companion Cable’s XLR connector to either the fixture’s DMX IN connector or the DMX link.
3. Start the PC and launch Martin Companion. Check that the Martin Companion application correctly
detects the Martin Companion Cable (a green dot should appear next to USB Connected in the top
right-hand corner of the window).
4. In Martin Companion’s Firmware - Fixture Update window, locate the MAC Ultra Wash firmware
version that you want to install.
5. Start the firmware update by clicking Update Firmware in Martin Companion. Do not disconnect the
Martin Companion Cable or power off the fixture(s) until the upload is complete and the fixture(s) have
successfully rebooted. If you are updating multiple fixtures over the DMX link, check that they have all
rebooted correctly.
6. The newly-installed firmware version will now be displayed in the INFORMATION menu.
Installing using a USB memory device
To install the MAC Ultra Wash firmware in one fixture using a USB flash memory drive:
