16 RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid 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.
Tips for reliable data transmission
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard
microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24
AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). Heavier gauge
cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs. The pin-out on all
connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and 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 (+).
To split the link into branches, use an opto-isolated splitter such as the
Martin™ DMX 5.3 Splitter. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in
the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug, which is a male XLR
plug with a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3,
“soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If a
splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
Connecting the data link
To connect the fixture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s
male XLR DMX input connector.
2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture
and continue connecting fixtures output to input.
3. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a DMX termination plug.

Effects
This section describes the effects provided by the RUSH
™
MH 7 Hybrid. See
‘DMX protocol’ on page 33 for a full list of the DMX channels and values
required to control the different effects.
Hybrid functionality
Beam
Beam operation provides narrow-to-medium beam angles. Fixed gobos are
available, giving you eight pattern gobos and five iris gobos that you can select
if you want to further narrow the beam. Rotating gobos are not available.
To enable Beam operation, select ‘Open’ on the rotating gobo wheel (DMX
channel 5).
Spot
Spot operation also provides narrow-to-medium beam angles but a
beamsmoother lens is deployed, giving a more even projection. Fixed and
rotating gobos are available.
To obtain Spot operation, select ‘Spot’ or a rotating gobo (indexing, rotation or
shake) on the rotating gobo wheel (DMX channel 5).
Wash
Wash operation provides a diffuse wash effect and gives the widest beam
angle.
To obtain Wash operation, select ‘Enable Frost’ on DMX channel 12. For the
widest beam angle, set the rotating gobo wheel to ‘Open’ on DMX channel 5.
D
imming
Overall intensity can be precisely adjusted from 0 to 100% using 16-bit coarse
and fine control.
Strobe effects
A mechanical shutter provides instant open and blackout, random and variable
speed strobe from 1 to 12 flashes per second, and pulse effects.
RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid User Manual 23
Gobos
The fixture contains two gobo wheels: a static gobo wheel and a rotating gobo
wheel that is available in Spot operation. Gobos are available in Wash
Operation but have little effect. See ‘Hybrid functionality’ above.
Note: When the ‘BI.O. Other Move’ personality setting is ON, the fixture blacks
out during color and gobo changes.

The RUSH
™
MH 7 Hybrid has two prisms: a four-facet linear prism and an
eight-facet radial prism. Both prisms can be set to indexed positions or rotated
continuously with variable speed and direction.
Frost
Deploying the frost filter sets the fixture to Wash operation and provides a
wider beam with a softer, diffuse light.
Focus
A motorized focus lens provides 16-bit coarse and fine adjustment of gobo
image sharpness.
Morphing effects are available by selecting a static gobo at the same time as a
rotating gobo and then shifting focus.
Zoom
A motorized zoom lens provides 16-bit coarse and fine control of the beam
angle. The beam angle range is as follows:
• Cutoff angle, Beam operation: 2.2° - 24°
• Cutoff angle, Spot operation: 2.5° - 24°
• One-tenth peak angle, Wash operation: 15° - 45°
26 RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid User Manual
Pan and tilt
The fixture’s head can be panned through 540° and tilted through 250° with
16-bit coarse and fine control. Using the control menus it is possible to invert
pan or tilt movement. A position feedback circuit provides automatic position
correction.
Light output can be set to black out when the head moves using either the
‘Auto-blackout = ON’ command on DMX channel 21, or the BI.O.P/T Move
personality setting in the control menu.
RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid User Manual 27
Maintenance
Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before
servicing the fixture.
Disconnect the fixture from mains power before cleaning or
servicing.
Service fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from
failing parts, tools or other materials.
The user may carry out the service operations described in
this manual. All other service operations must be carried out
by an authorized Martin™ service technician. Do not try to
repair the fixture yourself, as you may create a safety risk or
cause damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
Installation, on-site service and maintenance can be provided
worldwide by the Martin Professional™ Global Service
organization and its approved agents, giving owners access to
Martin’s expertise and product knowledge in a partnership that
will ensure the highest level of performance throughout the
product’s lifetime. Please contact Martin™ for details.
Cleaning
Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance,
causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by
inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
External optical lenses must be cleaned 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.
28 RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid User Manual
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do
not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause
surface damage.
To clean the fixture:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10
minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of
the fixture and the air vents at the back and sides of the head and in the
base with low-pressure compressed air.
3. Clean surfaces by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened
with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub glass surfaces hard: lift
particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth
or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an
unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled
water.
4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.
Replacing gobos
The rotating gobos supplied with the fixture can be replaced with custom glass
or stainless steel gobos. See ‘Interchangeable Gobos’ on page 42 for gobo
specifications.
Optical components have fragile
coatings and are exposed to very high
temperatures. Handle and store
components with care. Wear cotton
gloves while handling them. Keep them
perfectly clean and free of oil and
grease to reduce the risk of heat
damage.
To replace a rotating gobo:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power
and allow it to cool for at least 60
minutes.
2. See illustration to right. Loosen the
screws indicated with an M4 TORX
screwdriver and remove the top
head shell.
RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid User Manual 29
3. The rotating gobos sit in goboholders that slot into clips in the rotating
gobo wheel. Find the gobo you want to replace. Pull its goboholder away
from the gobo wheel slightly, then lift the goboholder out of its clip in the
wheel.
4. The gobo is held by a retaining spring. Use needle-nose pliers or a flat-
bladed screwdriver to release the end of the spring.
5. Remove spring, retaining ring and gobo.
6. Insert the new gobo in the holder with the reflective side facing down
(facing towards the lamp) and the dark side facing up.
30 RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid User Manual
7. Insert the retaining ring, making sure the tab fits in the slot in the
goboholder.
8. Reinstall the retaining spring with the narrow end facing inwards, towards
the retaining ring. Make sure that the outer end of the spring is held
securely in place in the goboholder.
9. Reinstall the goboholder in the gobowheel, sliding the tab on the
goboholder under the clip on the gobowheel and making sure that the
teeth on the goboholder engage in the teeth on the gobo wheel.
10. Reinstall the head cover and be ready for the head to move when you
reapply power.
Lamp replacement
Warning! Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling
lamps.
Allow the fixture to cool for at least 1 hour before handling a
lamp.
To avoid the risk of a discharge lamp exploding in the fixture,
replace the lamp when it reaches its average lifetime (see ‘
Lamp’ on page 41).
Install only lamps that are approved by Martin™ for this fixture
(see ‘
Lamp’ on page 41).
If a lamp breaks, ventilate the room for 30 minutes, put on nitrile
gloves and remove the pieces. Put the pieces in a sealed plastic
bag and take them to your local waste facilities for specialist
recycling. Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean up pieces of a
broken lamp.
The lamp must be perfectly clean and totally free of oil and grease. Never
touch the lamp with bare hands. If you contaminate the lamp, clean it with an
alcohol wipe and then dry it with a lint-free cloth.
RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid User Manual 31
To replace the lamp:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for one hour.
2. Remove the lamp cover using a Phillips screwdriver.
3. Squeeze and unhook the ends of the lamp retaining spring. Pivot the
spring away from the lamp.
32 RUSH™ MH 7 Hybrid User Manual
4. Carefully pull the lamp wires off of the connection pins. Remove the lamp.
5. Avoid direct contact with the new lamp. Either wear clean lint-free cotton
gloves or hold the lamp with the included cloth. Remove the new lamp
from its packaging and attach the wires to the connection pins.
6. With the connection pins pointing to the left, away from the retaining spring,
seat the new lamp in the fixture. Secure the lamp with the retaining spring.
7. Reinstall the lamp cover before applying power.
8. Reset the lamp hours counter as described on page 21.
Replacing the primary fuse
If the fixture is completely dead, the fixture’s primary fuse may have blown and
it may be necessary to install a new fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same size
and specified rating only.
If you need to replace the fuse:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool.
2. Unscrew the cap of the fuse holder (shown on page 15) and remove the
fuse.
3. Replace with a fuse of the same size and rating only.
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back on 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.
