[. . . ] Striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps from striking or draw enough 12 MAC 250 and MAC 250+ current to trip circuit breakers. If sending "lamp on" commands to multiple fixtures, program a sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals. The fixture automatically strikes the lamp within 90 seconds of being powered on if the Automatic Lamp On setting (P ER S/AL ON ) is turned on. A delay determined by the fixture address staggers lamp strikes to prevent excessive voltage drop and current draw. Note: the lamp cannot be restruck for 8 minutes after being turned off. Accidental "lamp off" commands can be prevented by turning the DMX Lamp Off setting (P ER S/d LOF) off. Color .

The wheel can be scrolled continuously - allowing for split color effects - or in steps, and rotated randomly or continuously in both directions at different speeds. The Shortcuts setting (P E RS/S CUT ) determines whether or not the wheel takes the shortest path to the next position; this setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Setting the effects speed to "blackout" causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel is moving. See page 16. Rotating gobos . Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Gobo Radial Dashes Line of Beams Fan Hat Triple Beam Decentered Beam Fibroid Random Holes, Blue Psycho Circles, Magenta Table 5: Gobo positions The MAC 250 and MAC 250+ has 8 rotating gobo positions plus an open position. Gobos and shake are selected on channel 4; rotation is set on channel 5. The gobo wheel also rotates continuously in both directions at variable speed. Operation 13 The MAC 250+ provides gobo indexing as well. Select the gobo on channel 4, between the DMX values of 5 and 44, and set the position on channel 5. The gobo type setting (P ERS /GTY P) automatically defaults to IN dX in the MAC 250+ to enable this feature. The Shortcuts setting (P E RS/S CUT ) determines whether or not the wheel takes the shortest path to the next position; this setting may be overridden on the effects speed channel. Setting the speed to "blackout" causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel turns. To change the gobos, see "Rotating gobos" on page 15. Dimmer / shutter The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides full, high-resolution dimming, "instant" open and blackout, random and variable strobe effects, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens. Pulse and random strobe effects can be disabled by switching DMX Macros (P ER S/ dMA C) off. The Dimmer Mode (P ER S / dMO d) setting allows you to select between linear or simulated tungsten fade curves. The fade time must be 0 to simulate tungsten dimming. Focus The beam may be focused from approximately 2 meters (6. 5 feet) to infinity. The MAC 250's default beam angle is 17. 5°; see page 17 for additional options. The MAC 250+ has a different optical system that uses achromatic lenses.
