ERA 500 Hybrid IP Safety and Installation Manual
Using the fixture
Before using the fixture, download and read the latest version of the ERA 500 Hybrid IP User Guide from
the ERA 500 Hybrid IP area of the Martin website at www.martin.com. The User Guide contains details of:
• The effects available in the fixture.
• The control options available using DMX and/or RDM.
• The setup, monitoring and control options available using the onboard control and display panel.

Applying power
Warning! Before applying power to the fixture:
• Read the safety information section of this manual starting on page 4.
• Read “Connecting to power” on page 11.
• Check that the installation is safe and secure.
• Check that the base is fastened securely so that the torque reaction when the head moves will not
cause the base to move.
• Be prepared for the fixture to light up suddenly. Check that no-one is looking at the fixture from
close range.
• Be prepared for the head to move suddenly. Check that there will be no risk of collision with
persons or objects.
The ERA 500 Hybrid IP does not have an On/Off switch. To apply power to the fixture, apply power to the
power input cable. Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors also support hot-plugging.
