AC power
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power.
Note in particular that you must not connect any fixture or device to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket
when operating on less than 200 V mains power, and you must not connect more than one ERA 800
Performance fixture to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket when operating on 200 - 240 V mains power.
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be electrically connected to ground (earth). The
AC mains power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault
(earth-fault) protection.
Power input
Important! Connect the ERA 800 Performance directly to AC power. Do not connect it to a dimmer
system; doing so may damage the fixture.
The ERA 800 Performance features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to
AC mains power at 100-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to power that is not within
this range.
The ERA 800 Performance requires a power input cable with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W
(TOP) 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 cables with female TRUE1
input connectors 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) or 5 m (16.4 ft.) long. Alternatively, Martin can supply loose female TRUE1
input connectors (see “Accessories” on page 34).
Connection to an AC mains power source
The power cable can be hard-wired to a building installation circuit or fitted with a mains plug (cord cap) to
allow connection to local AC mains power outlets.
If you install a mains plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug rated minimum 16 A,
250 V (example rating: EN 60309-2 CEE 2P+E 16 A/250 VAC), following the plug manufacturer’s
instructions. Table 1 shows some possible mains power pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly
identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
If you need to install a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector on a power cable, follow the instructions on the
Neutrik website at www.neutrik.com.
Linking two fixtures to power at 200 - 240 volts
If you are operating the fixture on mains power at less than 200 V, do not connect any other fixture or device
to the fixture’s MAINS OUT/THRU socket.
If you obtain a 12 AWG / 2.5 mm
2
power input cable and 12 AWG / 2.5 mm
2
power relay cables from Martin
(see “Accessories” on page 28), and if you are operating the fixture on 200-240 V mains power only, you
can relay mains power from one fixture to a second fixture by connecting the first fixture’s MAINS
OUT/THRU socket to the second fixture’s MAINS IN socket. Do not add any more fixtures to the two that
you have linked together in this way.
