Installation
Adaptors
Adaptors may be required to connect the Exterior 200 to the controller or
other 5-pin devices. Adaptor cables for indoor use are available from Martin.
The adaptor cables are wired as shown below.
Splitter/Amplifiers

Splitter/Amplifier may be used to branch the data link and/or extend its
length. Do not use a “Y” connector to split the link.
Terminators
Termination of the data link is required for trouble-free communication. For
temporary installations, this can be achieved with a male termination plug
inserted into the data output cable of the last fixture in each chain. A
termination plug is simply an XLR connector with a 120 ohm resistor
soldered across pins 2 and 3.
For permanent terminations, the link can be terminated with a 120 ohm
resistor across the hot and cold data terminals at the main circuit board
inside the last fixture in each chain.
Building a data link
To build a data link:
1 Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. A male 5-pin to female
3-pin adaptor may be required. Lead the data cable from the controller to
the first fixture and plug it into the male data cable.
2 Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the
next fixture. Continue in this manner. Up to 32 fixtures may be connected
output to input.
3 Terminate the link as described above, at the output of the last fixture in the
chain.
