Electrical safety
The MAC Ultra Performance features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts
to AC mains power at 200-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to power that is not
within this range.
Note that the fixture must not be connected to AC mains power at 100-120 V.
Maximum current draw is as follows:
• At 200 V: 8.0 A
• At 240 V: 6.7 A
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC 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 MAC Ultra Performance directly to AC mains power. Do not connect it to a
dimmer system; doing so may damage the fixture.
The MAC Ultra Performance automatically adapts to AC mains power at 200-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz.
Connect the fixture only to AC mains power that is within this range.
The fixture 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 (TOP) input connectors
and can also supply loose connectors. The specifications on the MAC Ultra Performance page on the Martin
website at www.martin.com give details of all the suitable cables and connectors available from Martin.
Connection to an AC mains power source
When powering on, the MAC Ultra Performance will draw a half-cycle RMS inrush current of maximum 21 A
at 230 V, 50 Hz for a few milliseconds. To avoid unwanted tripping, we recommend the use of MCBs
(Miniature Circuit Breakers) that are classified Type D according to IEC 60898/UL489/CSA C22.2 No. 5.
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.
