Safety Information
5
• Ensure that the P3 PowerPort 1500 is electrically connected to ground (earth).
• Connect the P3 PowerPort 1500 to AC mains power at 100-240 V (nominal), 50/60 Hz only.
• Use only a source of AC mains power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both
overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
• Use only a power input cable that has 12 AWG or 4 mm² minimum conductor size and an outer cable
diameter of 10 - 15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.). Power cable must be hard usage type (SJT or equivalent) and
heat-resistant to 90° C (194° F) minimum. In the EU the cable must be HAR type.
• Use only the cables specified by Martin™ for the devices concerned to interconnect them. If the specified
cables are not long enough for an intended cable run, consult Martin™ for assistance in finding or
creating a safe alternative cable
• Before applying power to the installation, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in
perfect condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.
• Isolate the installation from power immediately if the product, power cable or power plug are in any way
damaged, defective or wet, or if they show signs of overheating.
• Do not expose the P3 PowerPort 1500 to rain or moisture.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
• Do not attempt to bypass fuses. Replace defective fuses with fuses of the same type and rating only.
• Provide free airflow and a minimum clearance of 100 mm (4 in.) around fans and air vents.
• Do not operate the P3 PowerPort 1500 if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 45° C (113° F).
• Do not modify the P3 PowerPort 1500 in any way not described in this manual or install other than
genuine Martin™ parts. Use only accessories approved by Martin™.
PROTECTION FROM INJURY
• When installing the P3 PowerPort 1500 above ground level, ensure that the primary installation hardware
and supporting structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
• When suspending the P3 PowerPort 1500 from a rigging structure, use two rigging clamps that are
approved by an official notified body for the weight they support and installed as described in this manual.
• In an overhead installation or where the P3 PowerPort 1500 may cause injury if it falls:
- block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or
moving the P3 PowerPort 1500,
- install as described in this manual a secondary attachment (such as a safety wire) that is approved in
accordance with UL1573 Section 9.2 and EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 as a safety attachment for the
weight it must secure if the primary attachment fails, and
- as soon as work is completed, check that all hardware and components are securely in place and that
all installation and rigging hardware used is securely fastened.
