Safety Information

P R O T E C T I O N F R O M E L E C T R I C S H O C K

• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.

• Do not remove any cover from the fixture except as described under “Service and maintenance” on

page 16.

• Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power before servicing it and when it is not in use.

• Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth).

• Use only a source of AC mains power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both

overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.

• The fixture accepts AC mains power at 100-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to

mains power that is not within this range.

• The voltage and frequency at the power throughput socket are the same as that applied at the power input

socket.

• Do not connect devices to power in a chain or circuit that will exceed the electrical ratings of any cable or

connector used in the circuit.

• The fixture’s MAINS IN connector supplies mains power both to the fixture itself and to the MAINS

OUT/THRU socket. The MAINS IN connector has a maximum current rating of 16 A, so you must make
sure that the total current draw of any devices that are connected to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket plus
the current draw of the fixture itself does not exceed 16 A total. Respect the following safety limits:

- Do not connect more than one ERA 600 Performance fixture to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket when

operating on mains power within the range 100-200 V.

- Do not connect more than three ERA 600 Performance fixtures to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket when

operating on mains power within the range 200-240 V.

• Power input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, 12 AWG or 2.5 mm

minimum

conductor size and heat-resistant to 90° C (194° F) minimum. Cables must have three conductors and an
outer cable diameter of 6 - 12 mm (0.24 - 0.47 in.). In North America the cable must be
UL/CSA-recognized, hard usage, type SJT, SJOOW or better. In the EU, the cable must be type
HO5VV-F, H07RN-F or better.

• Connect only a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W (TOP) type cable connector to the power input

socket. Connect only a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3MX-W (TOP) type cable connector to the power
throughput socket.

• Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment, connectors and cables are in perfect

condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.

• Isolate the fixture from power immediately if the power plug or any seal, cover, cable, or other component

is damaged, defective, deformed, wet or showing signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until repairs
have been completed.

• The ERA 600 Performance contains components that are accessible and live at high voltage while the

fixture is connected to power and that remain under tension for up to one minute after power is
disconnected. Wait for at least one minute after disconnecting from power before opening any of the
fixture’s covers.

• Refer any service operation not described in this manual or in the ERA 600 Performance User Guide to

Martin Service or an authorized Martin Service partner.

• The light source contained in this fixture shall be replaced by Martin Service or an authorized Martin

Service partner only.

P R O T E C T I O N F R O M B U R N S A N D F I R E

• The exterior of the fixture becomes hot during use. After 5 minutes of operation a surface temperature of

70° C (158° F) shall be expected. The maximum steady state surface temperature is also 75° C (167° F).
Avoid contact by persons and materials.

• Allow the fixture to cool for at least 30 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.
