• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection. • Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture. • Refer all service to a qualified technician. •...
U N P A C K I N G The packing material is carefully designed to protect the fixture during shipment - always use it to transport the fixture. The Wizard comes with the following: • 1.5-meter, 3-wire IEC power cable. • User manual.
POWER The Wizard’s operating voltage is printed on the serial number label that can be found on the back of the Wizard. Verify that the operating voltage closely matches the AC supply voltage before applying power. Contact your Martin dealer if the operating voltage differs from the supply voltage by more than five percent.
AC supply voltage. The terminals are indicated on a label on the top of the transformer. 5 On the ballast, move the BROWN wire to the terminal listed for the voltage. The terminals are indicated on the top of the ballast. 6 Replace the cover. Wizard user manual...

NSTALLATION The Wizard can be hung overhead with a clamp (not included), mounted vertically on a wall, or placed on the floor (using the optional floor stand). Warning! Block access below the work area before proceeding. Always use a secure means of secondary attachment.
O V E R H E A D M O U N T I N G To hang the Wizard on an overhead support: 1 Verify that the structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, and other items.
O P E R A T I O N F R O M T H E F L O O R To operate the Wizard from the floor you need the optional floor stand (P/N: 91606008). 1 Attach the floor stand to the mounting bracket. The floor stand is longer at one end.
C O N N E C T I O N S The Wizard’s XLR data sockets are wired with pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to signal - (cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot). This is compatible with the standard for DMX devices.

TAND ALONE OPERATION The Wizard may be operated without a controller in stand-alone mode. It can be operated as a single unit or together with other Wizards in a “master/slave” configuration. Several options are available to modify stand-alone operation. These options are selected using the DIP-switch and are described in this chapter.
Page 16
“Stand-alone settings” on page 17). If none of these options are set then the slave fixture will mimic the master exactly. Use these options if you want a slave fixture to behave differently, for example, to make a show more interesting. Wizard user manual...
S T A N D - A L O N E S E T T I N G S DIP-switch pins 1-9 enable stand-alone options only when pin 10 is ON. When pin 10 is off, the DIP-switch selects a DMX address. Pin 11 must be OFF for stand-alone operation.
MC-1 OPERATION The Wizard is fully compatible with the Martin MC-1 controller. This chapter describes information about how to configure the Wizard for operation with an MC-1. For further information, refer to the MC-1 user manual. M C - 1 S E T T I N G S DIP-switch pin 10 must be set to OFF to enable MC-1 mode operation.
OPERATION The Wizard can be connected to and operated from a DMX controller. To do this you need to: 1 Choose and set one of the three DMX modes. The three modes are described in the following section, “DMX modes”.
Page 20
1-channel DMX mode, set DIP-switch pin 11 to ON. • 6-channel DMX mode, set DIP-switch pin 11 to OFF. • 8-channel DMX mode, set DIP-switch pin 11 to OFF, and then follow the procedure in “Setting 6- or 8-channel DMX mode” on page 27. Wizard user manual...
DMX mode that has been specified. If the Wizard is set to 6-channel mode, it reads the data on the start channel and the next five channels. If the DMX control address is set to 100, the fixture uses channels 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105.
C L E A N I N G Regular cleaning of the elements in the optical path, as well as the fans and air vents, is vital to maintaining the operational quality of the Wizard. Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particulate buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage to the fixture that is not covered by the warranty.

2 Remove the fixture cover. You may want to remove the lamp for cleaning (see the related steps in “Installing a lamp in the Wizard.” on page 25). 3 Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles with compressed air.
7 Replace the lamp-access cover and screws. A dj us ti ng th e l amp The Wizard lamp assembly is adjusted at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, however, fine adjustment may be improve performance. 1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power.
• Not using a controller, flip DIP-switch pins 3 and 10 on. Flip all other pins off. Apply power to the Wizard. After it has reset, the fixture produces a white light with an open gobo for adjustment purposes. 3 Wait for the lamp to reach full brightness.
