Introduction 5

Introduction

Thank you for selecting a dynamic lighting fixture from the Martin Mania

EFX Series. This series consists of DJ lighting fixtures with a motorized

rotating parabolic mirror dish and a motorized rotating gobo wheel (gobos

are outlines or masks placed in a light beam). The fixtures project

complex moving colored flower effects.

The EFX500 and EFX600 feature an additional mirror drum with

motorized pan (swivel) and tilt (rotation) that further enhances beam

dynamics. The EFX800 features an additional motorized tilting (rotating)

color paddlewheel that further enhances beam dynamics and color.

All Mania EFX fixtures offer the following features:

• Stand-alone single fixture and synchronized (master/slave) operation in

auto and music triggering modes

• Adjustable music triggering sensitivity

• DMX control with two DMX modes: DMX mode 2 gives extended

functionality on additional channels

• Adjustable focus

The EFX500 uses a long-life 250 watt halogen lamp. All other Mania

EFX fixtures use a long-life 150 watt discharge lamp.

Safety information

Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks of

lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat, electric shock,

ultraviolet radiation, lamp explosion and falls.

This product presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat,

electric shock, ultraviolet radiation, lamp explosion, and falls. Read this

manual before installing or powering the fixture, follow the safety

precautions listed below and observe all warnings in this manual and on

the fixture. If you have any questions about how to operate the fixture

safely, please contact your Martin dealer or call the Martin 24-hour service

hotline.

Protecting yourself and others from electric shock

• Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth).

6 Mania EFX user manual

• Check the fixture’s voltage setting switch (if fitted) and serial number

label before applying power. Only use the fixture if the fixture’s voltage

setting matches your local AC power voltage.

• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the

lamp, fuse, or any part, and when not in use.

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and

electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault (earth leakage)

protection.

• Refer all service not described in this manual to a Martin service

technician.

• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.

• Do not operate the fixture if any covers or components are missing,

damaged or deformed.

• Do not use the product if the power cable is damaged. Replace the

cable with a Martin item only (available from your Martin dealer).

Protecting yourself and others from burns and fire

Warning! Hot lamp. The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Allow to

cool for at least 10 minutes before handling or opening.

• Surface temperature under steady state condition = 100°C (212° F).

• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C

(104° F).

• Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always

replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating.

• See serial label for replacement fuse size and lamp type.

• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at

least 0.3 meters (4 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable

materials well away from the fixture.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 1 meter (3.3 feet) of the fixture.

• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around fans and

air vents and ensure that air flow through and around vents is free and

unobstructed.

• Never place filters or other materials over the lens or in the optical path.

• Do not look directly into the light.

• Change the lamp immediately if it becomes damaged or thermally

deformed.

• Do not operate the fixture if any optical components or shields are

missing, damaged or deformed: an unshielded discharge lamp emits

dangerous UV radiation that can cause burns and eye injuries.

• Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin parts.

Introduction 7

Preventing injuries due to falls

• When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the

structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.

• Ensure that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely

fastened and use an approved means of secondary attachment such as

a safety cable.

• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform

whenever installing or removing the fixture.

Unpacking

Important! Do not lift or carry a fixture by holding the motor housing (if

fitted) on the front of the fixture. It is not designed for this

purpose. You could injure yourself or others, and you could

cause damage that is not covered by the product guarantee.

The packing material is carefully designed to protect the fixture during

shipment - always use it to transport the fixture.

Mania EFX fixtures are supplied with the following items:

• 3-wire power cable(s) with IEC power input connector.

• 5m (16.4 ft.) DMX cable.

• Mounting plate (installed).

•EFX500 only: 250 watt halogen lamp (installed).

•EFX600, EFX700 and EFX800: 150 watt discharge lamp (this is

supplied separately to avoid damage during shipping and must be

installed before use – see “Installing a discharge lamp” on page 29).

Removing protective packaging

Important! The EFX500 and EFX600 mirror drum

is secured with packaging and white

plastic ties for shipment. Wearing

gloves to avoid cutting yourself on

the mirrors, cut and remove the

plastic ties. Check that the drum can

be swivelled through 180° and rotated

through 360° before operating the

fixture. If it cannot, you may have

missed one of the plastic ties.

Remove the clear protective film from

the mirror drum before operating the fixture.

Installation

AC power

Warning! Ensure that the fixture’s voltage setting matches your local AC

power voltage before applying power.

For protection from fire and electric shock, the fixture must be grounded

(earthed). The power supply must have both overload and ground-fault

(earth fault) protection.

Check that power cables are undamaged and rated for the current

requirements of all connected devices before use.

Important! Do not connect the fixture to a dimmer system, as this may

cause damage that is not covered by the product guarantee.

Mania EFX500 power settings

All Mania EFX500 models must be set to 115 V, 60 Hz or 230 V, 50 Hz AC

power using the red voltage selector switch on the connections panel.

• Set the switch so that 115 V is visible if you have110-120 V, 60 Hz AC

power.

• Set the switch so that 230 V is visible if you have 220-240 V, 50 Hz AC

power.

Mania EFX600, EFX700 & EFX800 power settings

• Mania EFX600, EFX700 and EFX800 EU models can be set to 230 or

240 V, 50 Hz AC power using the switch on the connections panel. Use

the 230 V setting if you have 220-230 V power, and use the 240 V

setting if you have 230-240 V.

• Mania EFX600, EFX700 and EFX800 US models do not have a voltage

selector switch and are supplied set up for 110-120 V, 60 Hz AC power.

Warning! Do not operate the fixture if local AC power voltage is outside the

range specified for the fixture.

Power plugs

Mania EFX fixtures are supplied with power cables to match most local

power outlet sockets (see “Included items” on page 50), but if there is no

Installation 9

power plug that matches your socket type, install a suitable grounding-

type (earthed) power plug on the power cable. Consult a qualified

electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation.

Follow the power plug manufacturer’s instructions, connecting the

appropriate wires to ground (earth), live, and neutral. The table below

shows some common wire identification schemes.

Physical installation

Each Mania EFX fixture must be either:

• fastened to an overhead structure by means of its mounting plate and a

Martin rigging clamp (available from your Martin dealer), or

• fastened to a surface by means of its mounting plate and suitable bolts.

Do not install the fixture by any other means, as this can cause the fixture

to overheat.

Ensure that the mounting structure or surface and all fasteners used can

support at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps,

cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.

Ensure that the fixture is located:

• at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.) away from the surface to be illuminated,

• at least 0.1 meters (4 in.) from any combustible materials (wood, fabric,

paper, etc.) and

• well away from any flammable materials.

Ensure that the clearance around the fan and air vents is at least 0.1

meters (4 in.) and that airflow is free and unobstructed.

Warning! Block access below the work area and work from a stable

platform when installing or servicing the fixture.

Always use a secure means of secondary attachment that can

hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture, looping it

through the attachment point shown at F in “Overview” on

page 4. Do not simply pass the secondary attachment around

the mounting plate, as this will leave the fixture unsecured.

Beam angles and fixture orientation

The fixtures in the Mania EFX series have different optical configurations.

Referring to the illustration below will help you decide how to orient your

fixture.

Surface mounting

To mount the fixture on a surface, you will need four grade 8.8 (minimum)

8mm diameter, 13mm head hex screwbolts (or similar type fasteners of

the same grade and size) and an eyebolt for the safety cable.

Installing the mounting plate separately

Surface mounting is easiest if you detach the mounting plate from the

fixture, bolt the mounting plate to the surface, and then reattach the

fixture. If you choose this method, access for reattachment and

adjustment can be easier if you remove the swivel locks and replace them

with two M8 hexagonal lock nuts (P/N 08132701). Install an eyebolt and

safety attachment once the fixture is mounted.

Installing the fixture and mounting plate as a unit

If you prefer to install the fixture and mounting plate without separating

them:

1. Using the inside back cover of this manual as a guide, drill three holes

in the positions marked A.
