AC mains power
Warning! Read
’ on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC
mains power.
The fixture has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power at 100-240 V at
50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power at any other voltage or frequency to the fixture.
The fixture’s maximum current draw is as follows:
• At 100-120 V~: 11.1 A
• At 200-240 V~: 3.7 A
Typical half-cycle RMS inrush current: 14.0 A at 230 V, 50 Hz.
Typical earth-leakage current: 0.43 mA.
The fixture requires a power input cable with an IP65-rated Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W (TOP)
or equivalent 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 input cables with
connectors 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) or 5 m (16.4 ft.) long, as well as loose input connectors (see the Martin website
at www.martin.com).
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently.
Alternatively, you can connect it to local power outlets if you install a suitable power plug on the power
input cable. When installing a power plug,
follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the
wires in the power cable following the color coding guide in the table below:

If you need to install a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 (TOP) or equivalent IP65-rated connector on a power
cable, follow the
connector manufacturer’s instructions (normally published on the manufacturer’s website
or included with the product), respecting the color coding guide above
.
Connecting to power
Connect the fixture to AC mains power by lining up the keys in the IP65 power input cable connector with
the keyways in the power input connector in the connections panel, inserting the connector and twisting
clockwise. Twist the cable connector counterclockwise and remove it from the connections panel to
disconnect.
The fixture does not have an on/off switch. It becomes active as soon as power is applied at the power
input connector. Be prepared for the head to move suddenly and for the fixture to emit bright light as soon
as power is applied.
