Martin® ELP WW IP User Manual 7
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.
Protection from injury
Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use. The fixture
is not portable when installed.
Ensure that all supporting structures, surfaces, fasteners and lifting equipment can
bear the weight of all the devices they are intended to support plus an adequate
safety margin, and that they conform to local building and safety regulations.
If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls,
install as described in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable
that is approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the
weight that it secures. The safety cable must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section
17.6.6 or BGV C1 / DGUV 17, and must be capable of bearing a static suspended
load at least six times (or more if required by locally applicable regulations) the
weight that it secures.
Eliminate as much slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than
once around the rigging truss, for example). Make sure that, if the primary
attachment fails, the fixture cannot fall more than 20 cm (8 inches) maximum
before the safety cable catches it.
