AC power connection
Warning!
Read ‘Safety information’ on page 3 before installing the fixture.
Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 6 A and
can supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any device to the
fixture’s MAINS OUT socket when using this input cable. If you want to connect
other fixtures to the MAINS OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a
chain’ on page 11.
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power
distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault
(earth-fault) protection.
Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this may cause damage
to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it
permanently, or a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for the local power outlets can be
installed on the power cable. Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the fixture
with power must be located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixture can easily be
disconnected from power.
If you install a power plug on the supplied power cable, install a grounding type (earthed) plug with
integral cable grip that is suitable for your local mains voltage at a current of 6 A. Follow the plug
manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in this table:
Live or L
Neutral or N
Earth, Ground or
US system
Black
White
Green
EU system
Brown
Blue
Yellow/green
The fixture has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power at 100-240 V at 50/60
Hz. Do not apply AC mains power at any other voltage or frequency to the fixture.
Linking fixtures to power in a chain
The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated at 6 A and can only supply enough
power for one fixture. If you want to use the MAINS OUT socket on the fixture to link power to the
next fixture in a daisy-chain, you need to obtain the larger power input cables and power link
cables available as an accessory from Martin, see ‘Specifications’ on page 33.
Using the 14 AWG or 1.5mm
2
cables from Martin™, you can link:
•
Maximum three (3) ERA 300 fixtures in total at 100-120 V, or
•
Maximum five (5) ERA 300 fixtures in total at 200-240 V.
If you install a power plug on the 14 AWG / 1.5 mm
2
power input cable, install a grounding type
(earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 16 A at the correct voltage rating for
your local power supply.
