Exterior PixLine™ User Manual
• Provide a means of locking out AC mains power that allows power to the installation to be shut down and
made impossible to reapply, even accidentally, during work on the installation.
• Shut down power to the installation during service and when it is not in use.
• 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 any product, power cable or power plug is in any way
damaged, defective, or if it shows signs of overheating.
• Do not immerse the Exterior PixLine fixture in water.
• Do not allow the total length (including fixtures and cable) of a linked chain of Exterior PixLine fixtures to
exceed 50 m (164 ft.) from the 48 VDC power source (Martin P3 PowerPort 1500™, Martin P3 PowerPort
1000 IP™, Martin™ IP66 PSU or other external PSU) to the last Exterior PixLine at the end of the chain.
• If you supply a chain of Exterior PixLine fixtures with DC power from a
generic 48 VDC external PSU
and
the DC output used does not have constant overcurrent protection that limits current to 8 A, install an
inline fuseholder with a 7.5 A or 8 A fuse on the circuit that you connect to that DC output.
Safety limits for connecting devices
Do not exceed the maximum safety limits given in the following tables.
Martin P3 PowerPort 1500™ safety limits
If you supply Exterior PixLine fixtures with DC power from a Martin P3 PowerPort 1500™:
• Do not connect more than one chain of fixtures to one DC output on the P3 PowerPort 1500™. Since the
P3 PowerPort 1500™ has four DC outputs, you can connect a maximum of four chains of fixtures to one
P3 PowerPort 1500™.
• Do not exceed the maximum total length of fixtures (including standard and custom lengths) that you can
include in one chain (see Table 1).
• Do not exceed a maximum total length of 50 m (164 ft.) for a chain, including fixtures and cable, measured
from the P3 PowerPort 1500™ to the end of the chain (see Table 1).
Besides the above limits, each output of a P3 PowerPort 1500™ can drive a maximum of 63 fixtures
regardless of the length of the fixtures. This may affect the Exterior PixLine 40. If you are creating a chain
containing Exterior PixLine 40 320 mm fixtures, you must stop and create a new chain if you reach 63
fixtures.
