Martin® ELP CL IP User Manual

Protection from burns and fire
Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
The surface of the fixture can reach up to 55° C (131° F) if the fixture is operated at
the maximum permitted ambient temperature.
Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.
Install the fixture on a non-combustible surface (brick, concrete, plaster etc.) only.
Do not aim the fixture towards combustible materials (fabric, wood, paper etc.) that
are within 50 cm (19 in.) of the fixture.
Keep the fixture well away from flammable materials (volatile liquids etc.).
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.
Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.
Allow at least 0.2 m (8 in.) free space around the fixture.
Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual 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
modify the light beam.
Protection from eye injury
Do not look directly into the product’s light output.
Do not look at operating light source. Eye injury may result.
Do not look at the light output with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar
optical instruments that may concentrate the light output.
Ensure that persons are not looking directly into the front of the fixture when the
product lights up suddenly. This can happen when power is applied, when the
product receives a DMX signal, or when certain control menu items are selected.
To minimize the risk of eye irritation or injury, disconnect the fixture from power at
all times when the fixture is not in use and provide well-lit conditions to reduce the
pupil diameter of anyone working on or near the fixture.
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 5.8 m (19 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 5.8 m (19 ft.), potential eye and skin injury hazards from the
light output are normally prevented by natural aversion reflexes.
