PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.
• Do not remove any cover from the fixture except as described under “Service and maintenance” on
page 16.
• 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 100-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to
mains power that is not within this range.
• The voltage and frequency at the power throughput socket are the same as that applied at the power input
socket.
• Do not connect devices to power in a chain or circuit that will exceed the electrical ratings of any cable or
connector used in the circuit.
• The fixture’s MAINS IN connector supplies mains power both to the fixture itself and to the MAINS
OUT/THRU socket. The MAINS IN connector has a maximum current rating of 16 A, so you must make
sure that the total current draw of any devices that are connected to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket plus
the current draw of the fixture itself does not exceed 16 A total. Respect the following safety limits:
- Do not connect more than one ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixture to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket
when operating on mains power within the range 100-200 V.
- Do not connect more than three ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixtures to the MAINS OUT/THRU
socket when operating on mains power within the range 200-240 V.
• Power input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, 12 AWG or 2.5 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. Connect only a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3MX-W (TOP) type cable connector to the power
throughput 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 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 one minute after power is disconnected. Wait for at least
one minute after disconnecting from power before opening any of the fixture’s covers.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual or in the ERA 600 Performance / Profile 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.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
• The exterior of the fixture becomes hot during use. After 5 minutes of operation a surface temperature of
70° C (158° F) shall be expected. The maximum steady state surface temperature is also 75° C (167° 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 2.0 m (6.6 ft.) of the fixture.
• Do not expose the front glass 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).
6
ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
• 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
• This fixture corresponds to Risk Group 3 according to EN 62471 when all photobiological risks are
considered and Risk Group 2 product according to IEC/TR 62778 for blue light only. It emits possibly
hazardous optical radiation. It 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 2.2 m (7.3 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 2.2 m (7.3 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 2.2 m (7.3 ft.) from the fixture, and so that prolonged staring into the light output at less than 35 m
(115 ft.) from the fixture is not expected.
• Do not look directly into the fixture’s light output.
• 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.
• Provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or near the fixture.
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.
• 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.
• 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.

ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
Physical installation
Warning! The ERA 600 Performance / Profile 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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile unless the base is securely
fastened to a stable surface or structure.
Warning! Use two clamps to rig the fixture. Do not hang the fixture from only one clamp. Lock each
clamp 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! You can fasten the fixture to a surface with ratchet straps passed through the carrying
handles 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! 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. See Figure 2. The ERA 600
Performance / Profile’s lens can focus the sun's rays, creating a potential fire hazard and causing
damage.
Important! Do not point the output from other lighting fixtures at the ERA 600 Performance / Profile,
as powerful light can damage the display.
See Figure 2. Lenses can focus sunlight and
strong light, presenting a risk of fire and
damage to the fixture. Shield or shade the
head if necessary.
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile can be fastened to a surface such as a stage or clamped to a truss in
any orientation.
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

The mounting points in the base allow omega brackets and rigging clamps to be fastened as shown in
Figure 3.
Clamping the fixture to a 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 11. 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. Repeat for the second clamp.
4. 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

ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
5. 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 four 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 bar, for example).
6. 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 2.0 m (6.6 ft.) of
the fixture, and that there are no
flammable materials nearby.
7. Check that there is no possibility
of the head colliding with objects
or other fixtures.
8. Check that other lighting fixtures
cannot project light at the ERA
600 Performance / Profile, as
powerful illumination can damage
the fixture’s display.

AC power
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power.
Note in particular that you must not connect more than one ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixture to
the MAINS OUT/THRU socket when operating on 100-200 V mains power, and you must not connect
more than three ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixtures to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket when
operating on 200-240 V 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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile directly to AC power. Do not connect it to a
dimmer system; doing so may damage the fixture.
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that automatically
adapts to AC mains power at 100-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to power that is
not within this range.
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile 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 input connectors 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) or 5 m (16.4 ft.) long. Alternatively, Martin can supply loose
female TRUE1 input connectors (see “Accessories” on page 34).
Connection to an AC mains power source
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.
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.
Linking more than one fixture to power in a chain
If you obtain a 12 AWG / 2.5 mm
2
power input cable and 12 AWG / 2.5 mm
2
power relay cables from Martin
(see “Accessories” on page 37), you can relay mains power from one fixture to another by connecting
fixtures to power in a linked daisy-chain, MAINS OUT throughput socket to MAINS IN input socket. If you
create a linked daisy-chain like this, you must respect the following safety limits, or you may create a risk of
fire and electric shock.

ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
Using 12 AWG / 2.5 mm
2
cables from Martin, you can link:
• maximum two (2) ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixtures total in one chain at 100-200 V, or
• maximum four (4) ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixtures total in one chain at 200-240 V.
If you connect more than one fixture to power in a daisy-chain, we recommend that you draw power from a
circuit that is protected by a type D MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker). This will avoid the breaker tripping
unnecessarily because of inrush current. If the only available power circuits have type C MCBs, you may
need to connect maximum two (2) fixtures per daisy-chain at 200-240 V in order to avoid tripping breakers
unnecessarily.
Connecting to power
Warning! The ERA 600 Performance / Profile 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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile:
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 power input cable to power the fixture on.
To disconnect the ERA 600 Performance / Profile 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.

Data links
Important! Shut down power to the fixture before connecting to or disconnecting from data.
DMX and RDM
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile has 5-pin locking XLR sockets for DMX and RDM input and output (see
A in Figure 8). 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
• 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.
• To split the data link into branches, use a Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter optically isolated splitter-amplifier (see
“Related Items” on page 37).
• 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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile 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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile’s data input
(male XLR) socket using good-quality DMX cable.
3. Run DMX cable from the ERA 600 Performance / Profile’s data output (female XLR) socket to the data
input of the next fixture and continue until the link is complete.
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.

ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
Service and maintenance
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before servicing the ERA 600 Performance / Profile.
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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile contains components that are accessible and live at
high voltage while the fixture is connected to power and that remain under tension for one minute
after power is disconnected. Only qualified technicians are permitted to open the fixture. Users may
carry out external cleaning and replace gobos 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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile User Guide (available for download from the ERA 600 Performance and
Profile pages on www.martin.com) gives full details of the menus in the fixture’s control panel.
The user must clean the ERA 600 Performance / Profile 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 ERA 600
Performance / Profile must be carried out by Martin, its approved service agents or trained and qualified
personnel using the official Martin service documentation for the ERA 600 Performance / Profile.
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
9. Slide the lock button up towards the closed padlock symbol to
lock the head and down to unlock.
Important! Release the tilt lock before applying power to the fixture and
before packing the fixture in its flightcase.
Figure 9. Tilt lock
Service and maintenance
17
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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile. 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 glass 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.
Lubrication
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile 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:
• 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. If a pan/tilt position error occurs and the system cannot correct pan/tilt position
within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically disabled.
• CALIBRATION lets you set home positions of pan, tilt, and all the fixture’s mechanical effects if the fixture
loses adjustment or if you want to adjust effects for specific applications. Adjustment may also be required
18
ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
by some firmware updates. If so, this will be mentioned in the firmware release notes. See the ‘Calibration’
section below.
• USB lets you see the status of firmware (fixture software) updates. For a detailed guide to updating the
firmware, see ”Installing using a USB memory device” later in this chapter.
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 custom offsets in the positions of pan, tilt and all the
other effects relative to the DMX values that the fixture receives. This allows you to fine-tune fixtures and
achieve uniform behavior in multiple fixtures. The CALIBRATION menu also lets you reload the factory
default offsets, permanently overwrite the factory default offsets (this command should normally never be
used) and set all calibration values to zero.
Defining custom calibration offsets
To adjust the home positions of effects, 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 you want to calibrate while comparing the light output with the reference
fixture. A calibration range of -127 to +128 is available for each effect.
3. After selecting a value, press ENTER to confirm. Note that the value will not be saved until you apply a
SAVE SETTING command!
4. When you have finished adjusting effects and before you exit the CALIBRATION menu, press the
MENU button to step back to the main CALIBRATION menu. Scroll to SAVE SETTING, press ENTER
and then when SAVE appears in the display press ENTER again to confirm that you want to save all the
calibration values that you have just set.
Important! If you do not apply a SAVE SETTING command when you have finished entering custom
calibration values as described above, the fixture will delete your custom values and return to the
default values stored in memory as soon as you exit the CALIBRATION menu or reboot the fixture.
CALIBRATION → SAVE SETTING saves any custom offsets that you have defined as described above so
that the fixture keeps the custom offsets when it is powered off and on again. Note that this command does
not delete the factory default offsets from memory, so it will still be possible to reload the factory default
offsets later if you choose to do so.
Loading default calibration offsets
CALIBRATION → LOAD DEFAULTS → LOAD lets you permanently erase any custom offsets and restore
the default calibration offsets that were set at the factory.
CALIBRATION → LOAD DEFAULTS → SAVE permanently overwrites the default calibration offsets that
were set at the factory with the current custom calibration offsets.
Important! Overwriting the factory default settings with a LOAD DEFAULTS
→
SAVE command is
permanent! You will not be able to reload the factory default offsets later. Factory default offsets
should normally only be modified by Martin Service. If you just want to save custom calibration
offsets so that the fixture keeps them even after powering off and on, do not use this command.
Instead, make your adjustments and then apply a CALIBRATION
→
SAVE SETTING command.
Setting calibration offsets to zero
CALIBRATION → CLEAR ALL VALUES sets all calibration offsets to zero until the fixture is next powered
off and on again. If you want the offsets to stay at zero even after a power off/on cycle, you must also apply
a CALIBRATION → SAVE SETTING command.
Service and maintenance
19
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.
You can check the currently installed firmware (fixture software) version 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.
All ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixtures that are powered on and connected via a DMX link to the fixture
that you update will also have their firmware updated.
If you update firmware to a newer version, check the ERA 600 Performance / Profile area of
www.martin.com to see whether an updated version of this User Guide is available for the new firmware.
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 ERA 600 Performance / Profile firmware files. Martin Companion automatically downloads
these from the Martin fixture firmware cloud when you run it on a PC that is connected to the Internet.
•Either:
- a Martin Companion Cable USB-DMX hardware interface (see “Accessories” on page 37), or
- a USB flash memory drive formatted in Windows using the FAT32 file system.
Installing using a Martin Companion Cable
To install the ERA 600 Performance / Profile firmware using a Martin Companion Cable:
1. Apply power to the ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixture(s) and allow it 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. Locate the latest ERA 600 Performance / Profile firmware in Martin Companion (Firmware
→ ERA →
ERA 600 Performance / Profile).
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) has
successfully rebooted.
6. If you are updating multiple fixtures over a DMX link, check that they have all rebooted correctly.
Installing using a USB memory device
To install the ERA 600 Performance / Profile firmware using a USB flash memory drive:
1. Launch the Martin Companion software suite on a PC that is connected to the Internet. Martin
Companion will automatically download the latest Martin firmware files from the Martin cloud.
2. In Martin Companion’s Fixture Update window, click on Download USB Stick Firmware and navigate
to the root directory of the USB drive where you want to save the firmware.
3. Click on Select Folder. Martin Companion will automatically save the firmware files in a correctly named

Rotating gobo replacement
Gobo Wheel 1 (in both the ERA 600 Performance and the ERA 600 Profile) and Gobo Wheel 3 (in the ERA
600 Profile only) are rotating gobo wheels. The gobos on Gobo Wheels 1 and 3 have the same dimensions
and specifications and are interchangeable, but the goboholders have slightly different designs and cannot
be swapped from one wheel to the other.
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile uses specially designed borosilicate 3.3 rotating gobos with a heavy
matted aluminum coating. All gobos are interchangeable, but replacement gobos must match the
dimensions, construction and quality of the gobos supplied as standard. The gobos are a custom size:
23.0 mm +0/-0.2 mm external diameter, 19 mm image diameter.
Optical components have fragile coatings and are exposed to very high temperatures. Handle and store
components with care.
See the ERA 600 Performance / Profile User Guide (available for download from the products’ pages on
www.martin.com) for names, illustrations and part numbers of the gobos installed as standard.
Avoiding damage to gobos
Follow these precautions when handling, using and storing gobos:
• Do not use gobos with dark coatings on either side, as these will absorb heat – either directly from the
light source or reflected back from other optical components – and will not be durable.
• Do not use metal gobos in the ERA 600 Performance / Profile: their durability may be reduced when used
in this fixture.
• Store all gobos in a dust-free environment with approx. 50% humidity.
• Wear clean nitrile cleanroom gloves when handling gobos.
• Avoid scratching coated and uncoated sides.
• Do not place a gobo with the coated side face-down on any surface.
• Avoid touching the other gobos when removing a gobo from a rack: the sharp edge of one gobo can
scratch the others.
• Keep gobos perfectly clean to reduce the risk of heat damage.
• When cleaning gobos, use a repeated dabbing action rather than a rubbing action. When rinsing, use
distilled or even better deionized water to avoid residue that will appear as drying marks.
• If possible, clean the coated side of gobos with dust and oil-free compressed air only. If the coated side is
contaminated with oil, clean with isopropyl alcohol and optics cleaning tissues.
• Clean the uncoated side of gobos with isopropyl alcohol or photographic quality lens-cleaner and optics
cleaning tissues.
• Do not try to clean gobos in an ultrasound bath, as this may cause delamination of the coating.
• Do not use acidic or alkaline cleaning solutions, as they will attack the aluminum coating.
• Correct gobo orientation is critical. Read the guidelines given later in this chapter carefully before
installing a gobo.

ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
8. See Figure 15. Note the position of
the reference marks in the gobo
drive wheel A and goboholder B.
Note also the position of the
goboholder positioning magnet C
and gobo wheel positioning magnet
D. Each time you remove a
goboholder from the wheel, turn the
drive wheel (twice if necessary) until
the marks exactly line up.
We recommend that you only
remove one goboholder at a time.
Avoid turning the drive wheel while
a goboholder is out of the gobo
wheel. This will keep the gobos in
their correct orientation, avoiding
the need to reprogram cues or
adjust gobo positions in the fixture
because a gobo orientation has
changed during service. Note that if
necessary you can adjust the home
positions of rotating gobos at any time using the SERVICE
→ CALIBRATION menu in the control panel.
9. See Figure 16. With the reference marks lined up, lift the outside edge of the goboholder up slightly and
pull the goboholder out of the gobo wheel. Note how the goboholder tongue (arrowed) engages in a
recess in the gobo drive wheel. You will need to reinstall the goboholder with the tongue in the same
position in the drive wheel.
10. For details of replacing a gobo in a goboholder, see “Installing a gobo in a goboholder” on page 26.
11. When reinstalling a goboholder in the gobo wheel, use the above procedure in reverse as a guide.
Do not apply lubricant to any part of the goboholders or gobo wheel. The cogs are designed to run
without lubricant.
Line up the reference marks in the goboholder and gobo drive wheel and push the tongue correctly into
its location in the gobo drive wheel when you install the goboholder. Check that the goboholder is held
securely in the wheel after you have installed it.

Replacing a rotating gobo on Gobo Wheel 3 (ERA 600 Profile only)
The ERA 600 Profile has a second rotating gobo wheel which is referred to as Gobo Wheel 3. To replace a
gobo in Gobo Wheel 3:
1. Remove the head covers as
described earlier in this chapter.
2. Remove Gobo Wheel 1 from the
fixture as described earlier in this
chapter. See Figure 17. You now
have access to the rotating gobos in
Gobo Wheel 3 (arrowed) without
any need to remove this gobo wheel
from the fixture.
3. To remove a gobo from Gobo Wheel
3, see Figure 18. If you want to
minimize the need to calibrate the
gobo’s position in the control
menus, rotate the gobo until you line
up reference points (such as the
markings in the gobo wheel and on
the goboholder shown at A and B in
Figure 15 on page 24). Pull the top
of the gobo away from the gobo
wheel until it clears the circular hole
in the wheel, then lift the gobo out of the gobo wheel.
To reinstall the goboholder in the gobo wheel and reassemble
the fixture, use the above procedure in reverse as a guide.
When you reinstall the goboholder, line up any reference points
that you noted. See Figure 19. Note the position of the slot
(arrowed) in the gobo wheel. When you slide the goboholder into
the wheel, make sure that you insert the tongue on the
goboholder into this slot.
Check that the goboholder is held securely in the wheel and
rotates freely after you have installed it.
Do not apply lubricant to any part of the goboholders or gobo
wheel. The cogs are designed to run without lubricant.
If you have not managed to physically line up a gobo as you want
it, you can open the SERVICE
→ CALIBRATION control menu
after you have reassembled the fixture and adjust the position of
the gobo.
For details of replacing a gobo in a goboholder, see “Installing a
gobo in a goboholder” on page 26.

ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
Installing a gobo in a goboholder
All the rotating gobos in the ERA 600 Performance / Profile are held in their holders by springs and can be
removed from their holders as described below.
Note that the textured glass gobo Limbo (Crystal) on Gobo Wheel 1 has a specially designed goboholder to
cater for the extra thickness of the fused glass and is glued into its goboholder. Textured glass gobos and
their goboholders are not interchangeable with the other gobos and goboholders.
Gobo orientation
Make sure that you install gobos facing in the correct direction, or they may suffer heat damage. The
orientations shown in Figure 20 are correct in most cases, but consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier if
you are in any doubt about the orientation of a specific gobo type.
Coated Glass Gobos
The heavy matted aluminum coated borosilicate gobos in the ERA 600 Performance /
Profile are factory-installed with the more reflective sides facing towards the LED light
source. Replacement gobos must also be installed with more reflective sides facing the
LEDs in order to avoid heat damage.
More reflective side towards LEDs
To minimize the risk of gobo overheating
and damage, turn the more reflective side of
a coated gobo towards the lamp.
Less reflective side away from LEDs
The less reflective side of a coated gobo will
absorb less heat if it faces away from the
lamp.
Textured Glass Gobos
Flat side towards goboholder
Textured glass gobos sit most squarely in the goboholder with the flat side placed down into
the recess in the goboholder. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier. We
recommend that textured glass gobos are glued into the goboholder.
Image / text Gobos
True image towards LEDs Reversed image away from LEDs
Gobos that have a specific left/right orientation (such as text gobos) will appear correctly in
the projection if they appear correctly when viewed from the side that faces towards the
LED light source.

ERA 600 Performance / Profile Safety and Installation Manual
To replace a gobo in a goboholder:
1. See Figure 22. Place the goboholder on a clean surface with the teeth side facing downwards. Note the
position of the bend (arrowed) in the end of the gobo retaining spring. Using a plastic lever to avoid
scratching the gobo, lever the end of the retaining spring out of the groove in the goboholder and lift the
retaining spring out of the goboholder.
2. Turn the goboholder teeth side up and let the gobo fall out of the holder onto a clean, soft surface. Put
the goboholder on the surface teeth side down again.
3. Holding the new gobo by its edges, insert it into the goboholder with the alignment marks on gobo and
goboholder oriented correctly. On Gobo Wheel 1 the shiny side must face upwards as shown in Figure
21. On Gobo Wheel 3 the shiny side must face downwards. Check that the gobo is fully seated in the
holder.
4. Insert the retaining spring into the goboholder and press it into its groove in the goboholder. Check that
the spring is pressed as flat as possible against the gobo and that the gobo is held securely in the
goboholder.
5. Reinstall the goboholder in the gobo wheel.
6. Reinstall Gobo Wheel 1 in the head following the procedure given in “Replacing a rotating gobo on Gobo
Wheel 1” on page 22 in reverse.
7. When service work is finished, reinstall the head covers using the section “Opening the head for access”
on page 21 as a guide.

Converting between Performance and Profile
The framing module in the ERA 600 Performance and the second rotating gobo wheel (Gobo Wheel 3) in
the ERA 600 Profile are interchangeable. This means that you can convert an ERA 600 fixture from a
Performance to a Profile model and vice versa by removing one of these modules and replacing it with the
other type. Effects modules are available from your Martin supplier (see “Accessories” on page 37).
From ERA 600 Performance / Profile fixture software version 2.2.0 onwards the fixture will automatically
detect which module is installed and adapt the fixture’s DMX control options, menu structure and personality
accordingly. The fixture type Performance or Profile appears in the fixture’s control panel display briefly
when the fixture starts up. To see the fixture type at any time, open the INFORMATION menu in the control
panel, scroll to FIXTURE TYPE and press ENTER.
The calibration data for effects modules is stored in the fixture’s memory, not in the modules. To keep the
original factory calibration settings if you remove a module and then reinstall it, make sure that you return
the module to the fixture that it originally came from.
Whenever the original factory-installed module is replaced by another module for the first time, it is
necessary to calibrate the new module. The fixture can store the calibration settings for one module of each
type (e.g. one framing module and one Gobo Wheel 3 module).
The procedure in the next section covers conversion from an ERA 600 Profile configuration to an ERA 600
Performance configuration by removing the Profile’s second rotating gobo wheel and replacing it with the
Performance’s framing module, but the procedure is essentially the same whether you convert from Profile
to Performance or convert from Performance to Profile.
Converting from Profile to Performance
To convert an ERA 600 Profile to an ERA 600 Performance by removing the second rotating gobo wheel
(Gobo Wheel 3) and replacing it with a framing module:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power, allow it to cool for 30 minutes and place it on a suitable work surface.
2. Remove the head covers as described in “Opening the head for access” on page 21.
3. Tilt the head so that the side with the effects module cooling fan is facing upwards. This is the bottom of
the head.
4. See Figure 23. Locate the effects connections PCB A, then:
• disconnect the main effects module by removing the multi-pin connector marked GOBO from plug J2
and
• disconnect the Gobo Wheel 3 wheel module marked DATA (or the framing module marked BLADE if
you are converting from a Performance to a Profile model) by removing the multi-pin connector from
plug J6.
5. Remove the two Torx screws B that hold the effects module cooling fan bracket in position and leave the
fan resting on top of the main effects module.
6. Tilt the head around to give you access to the other side of the head (the top of the head). You can let
the effects module cooling fan that you have just unfastened hang underneath the fixture, but avoid
pulling on the fan wiring.

7. See Figure 24. Remove the six Torx screws (arrowed) that hold the effects module retaining plates on
the head chassis and remove both plates. Note that the correct plates are marked Service here. Do not
confuse them with the similar unmarked plates on the other side of the head. Keep the plates and
screws for re-use.
8. Lift the main effects module together with its cooling fan out of the head. Make sure that the fan does not
catch on its way through the head, or you may damage the fan wiring.
9. See Figure 25. Slide the focus car
towards the front of the head with one
hand. With the other hand, lift the
Gobo Wheel 3 module (or the framing
module if you are converting from a
Performance to a Profile model) out of
the fixture.

10. See Figure 26. Note the positions of the locating tabs A on both sides of the framing module and the
guide channels B on both sides of the head, closest to the front of the head.
11. See Figure 27. Slide the focus car towards the front of the fixture and lower the framing module into the
head, making sure that the module’s locating tabs engage in the guide channels and that you do not trap
any wires (see photo C).
12. Lower the main effects module into the head, making sure that the module’s locating tabs engage in the
guide channels (see photo D). Make sure that the cooling fan passes through the head without catching
or snagging and make sure that you do not trap any wires. Check that the module is correctly located in
the head.

Using the fixture
Before using the fixture, download and read the latest version of the ERA 600 Performance / Profile User
Guide from the ERA 600 Performance / Profile area of the Martin website at www.martin.com. The User
Guide contains details of:
• The effects available in the fixture.
• The control options available using DMX and/or RDM.
• The setup, monitoring and control options available using the onboard control and display panel.
• Software service functions.
Applying power
Warning! Before applying power to the fixture:
• Read the safety information section of this manual starting on page 4.
• Read “Connecting to power” on page 14.
• Check that the installation is safe and secure.
• 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 (see “Tilt lock” on page 9).
• Be prepared for the fixture to light up suddenly. Check that no-one is looking at the fixture from
close range.
• Be prepared for the head to move suddenly. Check that there will be no risk of collision with
persons or objects.
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile does not have an On/Off switch. To apply power to the fixture, apply
power to the power input cable. Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors also support hot-plugging.
ERA 600 Profile battery power
The ERA 600 Profile has an onboard lithium battery that gives access to the most important functions in the
control panel when the fixture is not connected to AC mains power.
The battery is charged automatically when the fixture is connected to mains power. It will normally hold a
charge for 3 months. If the fixture is new or has been in storage, connecting to mains power for 2 hours will
normally be enough to fully recharge the battery.
The following functions are available on battery power:
• DMX address
• Fixture ID
• PERSONALITY menu
• DEFAULT SETTINGS command
• INFORMATION menu
• Error status messages (if any of these have been logged and stored in memory)
To activate the display when the fixture is not connected to mains power, press MENU. Press MENU again
to enter the menus.
The display extinguishes after 10 seconds with no user input and the control panel is de-activated after one
minute with no user input. Press MENU again to re-activate.
