Martin® ELP CL IP User Manual
Protection from electric shock
Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth).
Disconnect the fixture from AC power when not in use.
Do not open the fixture or remove any cover. Refer any service operation not
described in this manual to an authorized Martin Service partner.
Shut down power to the entire installation at the main power distribution board and
lock out power before carrying out any installation or maintenance work.
Use only a source of AC 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 AC frequency of the power at the MAINS OUT socket are the
same as those applied at the MAINS IN 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 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 socket plus the current draw of the fixture
itself does not exceed 16 A total.
Power input and relay cables must be rated 16 A minimum, 12 AWG or 2.5 mm2
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.
If you connect fixtures to power in a daisy chain, use one of the 16 A rated power
relay cables available as optional accessories from Martin to relay power from the
fixture’s MAINS OUT socket to the MAINS IN socket of the next fixture. If you link
fixtures to power in a chain in this way, do not exceed the following safety limits:
You may connect a maximum of four (4) fixtures in total to power in a chain at
100-120 V, or
connect a maximum of nine (9) fixtures in total to power in a chain at
200-240 V.
Connect only a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W (TOP)-type cable
connector to the MAINS IN socket. Connect only a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1
NAC3MX-W (TOP)-type cable connector to the MAINS OUT socket.
Keep all connectors sealed with their rubber caps when not in use.
If operating outdoors, in wet conditions or in conditions where condensation may
appear, arrange cables so that they arrive from below connectors. Create a ‘drip
loop’ if necessary, but do not allow heavy cable runs or loops of cable to hang from
connectors.
Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are
in perfect condition, are rated for the current requirements of all connected
devices, and are of suitable type for the location (including water, pollution,
temperature and UV resistance).
Isolate the fixture from power immediately if any seal, cover, cable, or other
component is damaged, defective, deformed or showing signs of overheating. Do
not reapply power until repairs have been completed
Do not immerse the fixture in water or any other fluid. Do not install the fixture in a
location where flooding may occur.
