• The exterior of the fixture becomes hot during use. After 5 minutes of operation a surface temperature of
60° C (140° F) shall be expected. The maximum steady state surface temperature is also 60° C (140° F).
Avoid contact by persons and materials.
• Allow the fixture to cool for at least 60 minutes before handling.
• Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.2 m (8 in.) away from the fixture.
• Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.
• Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.2 m (8 in.) around fans and air vents.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 10 m (33 ft.) of the fixture.
• 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.
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
• Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual or the fixture’s User Guide 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 mask or modify the light beam.

• 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 19.2 m (63 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 19.2 m (63 ft.), potential eye and skin injury hazards from the
light output are normally prevented by natural aversion reflexes.
• Position the fixture so that persons cannot be exposed to the fixture's light output at a distance of less
than 19.2 m (63 ft.) from the fixture, and so that prolonged staring into the light output at less than 115 m
(378 ft.) from the fixture is not expected.
• Do not look directly into the fixture’s light output.
• 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 at the fixture when the fixture lights up suddenly. This can happen
when power is applied, when the fixture receives a DMX signal, or when certain control menu items are
selected.
• Disconnect the fixture from power at all times when the fixture is not in use.
• Provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or near the fixture.
P R O T E C T I O N F R O M I N J U R Y
• Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use. The fixture is not portable when
installed.
• Do not lift or carry the fixture alone.
• Use two evenly spaced omega brackets with clamps to suspend the fixture from rigging structures. Do not
use only one clamp.
• When clamping the fixture to a truss or other supporting structure, use two half-coupler clamps. Do not
use G-clamps, quick-trigger clamps or any other type of clamp that does not completely encircle the
supporting structure when fastened.
