Power supply
The Atomic Colors requires a separate external power supply. These are supplied separately and
come in various standard unit sizes. Each Atomic Colors requires one unit of power.
The Martin Atomic power supplies, MPU-02 and MPU-08 will function on any standard
worldwide voltage/frequency electrical supply.
You may need to attach a plug on the mains cable for power supply.
To install a plug on the mains lead
The mains lead must be fitted with a heavy-duty cord cap with ground connection. Consult a
qualified electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation.
Following the cord cap manufacturer’s instructions, connect the yellow and green wire to ground
(earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to neutral. The table below shows some pin
identification schemes.
