Connecting to power
3 m (9.8 ft.) power input cables for the EvenLED can be ordered separately from your Martin supplier.
Cables have a Neutrik PowerCon power input connector installed on one end and are ready for either
hard-wiring or installation of a power plug on the other end. Loose PowerCon connectors and daisy-chain
power cables with PowerCon connectors for relaying power from one panel to another can also be ordered
from Martin (see “Accessories” on page 27).
All Martin cables for the EvenLED are EU color-coded (see Table 1).
If you choose not to use the EvenLED power cables available from Martin, you must use power cable that is
rated 20 A minimum and suitable for the installation environment, SJT or better jacket type, and rated to
90° C (194° F) minimum. In North America power cable must be UL-listed, minimum AWG 12. In other
regions it must be minimum 4 mm² conductor cross-section.
To connect to a single-phase 3-wire (live, neutral, ground/earth) power system:
1. Isolate all power distribution circuits from power and ensure that power cannot be reapplied accidentally.
2. Insert the PowerCon connector on a suitable power input cable into the EvenLED’s POWER IN socket.
3. Connect the conductors in the power cable to the power distribution circuit as follows:
- Connect the yellow/green wire to ground (earth)
- Connect the blue wire to neutral
- Connect the brown wire to live.
4. Check that all installation work is completed and carry out appropriate tests and safety checks before
applying power.
If using two phases of a three-phase system to obtain 200 - 240 V between two phases, follow the
procedure given above, but connect the blue wire to one phase and the brown wire to the other phase.
Power plug
If you want to install a plug that is suitable for your AC mains power outlets on the power cable, install a
grounding-type (earthed) plug with integral cord grip/cable clamp that is rated 20 A minimum, following the
plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows some possible pin/conductor identification schemes. If
conductors are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified
electrician.
Relaying power between panels
To ease installation and reduce the number of AC mains power input cables and outlets required, power can
be relayed from one EvenLED panel to another, subject to the strict safety limits listed below. Suitable
cables for relaying power can be ordered from Martin Professional (see "Accessories" on page 27) and must
meet the same specifications as power input cables (see details above).
