• Shut down power to the entire installation at the power distribution board
and lock out power (by removing a fuse at the distribution board for
example), before removing any input cap, end cap, other cover or part.
Do not reapply power until all caps, retaining clips, covers and other
parts have been correctly installed.
• Shut down power to the installation when it is not in use.
• Connect the fixture electrically to ground (earth).
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault)
protection.
• Connect the fixture to AC power using an Extube input cap and the 13 A
power cable supplied pre-installed on the input cap only. The power
cable may not be changed by the user. If it is not suitable for your
installation, contact Martin for assistance in selecting and installing an
alternative power cable.
• Do not disassemble input or end caps or try to tap directly into power or
DMX circuits inside input or end caps.
• Terminals inside the input cap are live when power is applied to the
power cable. Do not apply power to the cable unless the input cap is
installed on a fixture as described in this manual.
• Terminals inside the connector at the output end of the fixture are live
when power is applied to the fixture. Do not apply power to the fixture
unless an end cap is installed on the fixture as described in this manual.
• Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and
cables are in perfect condition, rated for the current requirements of all
connected devices, protected to IP67 or higher and of suitable type for
the location (including water, pollution, temperature and UV resistance).
• Isolate the fixture from power immediately if any cap, cable, seal, cover
or other component is damaged, cracked or deformed. Do not reapply
power until the item has been repaired.
• Do not expose any part of the fixture to a high-pressure water jet.
• Do not immerse the fixture in water or any other fluid, or install it in a
location where flooding may occur.
• Ensure that there is a drip loop in all cables that enter the fixture so that
water does not run down the cable and collect at the cable entry.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to an
authorized Martin Service partner.
