• 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 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.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 1.0 m (3.3 ft.) of the fixture.
• Do not expose the front lens 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 is a Risk Group 2 product according to IEC/TR 62778 for blue light only. It emits possibly
hazardous optical radiation.
• Position the fixture so that prolonged staring into the light output at less than 25.9 m (85 ft.) from the
fixture is not expected.
• Do not look directly into the fixture’s light output.
• Do not look at LEDs 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.
• Provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or near the fixture.

• Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use. The fixture is not portable when
installed.
• Use the handles on the base or head when carrying the fixture.
• To suspend the fixture from rigging structures, use either:
- one high-strength steel M12 bolt and one rigging clamp or
- two evenly spaced omega brackets with two rigging clamps.
Do not use only one omega bracket and clamp to suspend the fixture.
• If suspending the fixture using one M12 bolt and one rigging clamp, make sure that the bolt protrudes
minimum 20 and maximum 25 mm (minimum 0.8 and maximum 1 inch) inside the base of the fixture
when installed and tightened.
• When clamping fixtures to a truss or other supporting structure in any orientation apart from hanging
vertically with the head pointing downwards, use half-coupler rigging 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.
• The fixture weighs 8.9 kg (19.7 lbs.). Before suspending the fixture, check that the supporting structure
and all hardware used to suspend the fixture can hold at least six (6) times the weight of all devices
suspended from them and that the installation respects all safety factors that are required by locally
applicable regulations. Check that the structure and all rigging hardware are in perfect condition and
suitable for their purpose.
