AC power
Warning!
Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture.
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The
power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and
ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
If you want to connect fixtures to power in a daisy-chain, use correctly dimensioned
cables (see
‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ below) and do not exceed the
limits given in this chapter.
Keep all connectors sealed with their rubber caps when not in use.
Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this may
cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The ELP WW IP features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to
AC mains power at 100-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to power that is
not within this range.
The fixture requires a power input cable with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W (TOP)
female cable connector for AC mains power input. The cable must meet the requirements listed
under “Protection from electric shock” on page 5. Martin can supply suitable cables with female
TRUE1 input connectors 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) or 5 m (16.4 ft.) long. Alternatively, Martin can supply loose
female TRUE1 input conne
ctors (see “Accessories” on page 34).
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it
permanently, or a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for the local power outlets can be
installed on the power cable. Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the fixture
with power must be located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixture can easily be
disconnected from power.
When connecting cables to the fixture’s MAINS IN and MAINS OUT sockets, line up the keys in
the cable connector with the keyways in the socket, insert the connector into the socket and twist
clockwise to engage. If the connector seems difficult to twist, remove it from the socket, check that
you have lined up the keyways correctly and try again
– do not use excessive force. Make sure
that the connector latch clicks and that the connector is locked into the socket.
If you install a power plug on the supplied power cable, install a grounding type (earthed) plug with
integral cable grip that is suitable for your local mains voltage and is rated 6 A minimum. Follow
the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in this
table:
Live or L Neutral or N

Linking fixtures to power in a chain
You can connect multiple fixtures to power in a daisy chain using a relay cable to connect one
fixture’s MAINS OUT socket to the next fixture’s MAINS IN socket. If you create a daisy-chain like
this you must use correctly dimensioned power input and relay cables as described below.
Power input cable
If you want to draw power from the
fixture’s MAINS OUT socket, you must use a correctly
dimensioned input cable to supply power to the MAINS IN socket. If you daisy-chain fixtures to
power, use one of the 16 amp rated 12 AWG / 2.5 mm
2
power input cables available from Martin
(see ‘Accessories’ on page 34) to supply power to the first fixture.
