ERA 500 Hybrid IP User Guide
Introduction
Warning! Before installing, operating or servicing the ERA 500 Hybrid IP, read the latest version of
the product’s Safety and Installation Manual, paying particular attention to the Safety Precautions
section. The Safety and Installation Manual is supplied with the fixture. The latest version is also
available for download from the ERA 500 Hybrid IP area of the Martin® website at www.martin.com.
This User Guide is a supplement to the Installation and Safety Manual that is supplied with the ERA 500
Hybrid IP. Both these documents are available for download from the Martin website at www.martin.com.
This User Guide contains information that is mainly for lighting designers and operators. The Safety and
Installation Manual contains important information for all users, especially installers and technicians.
We recommend that you check the Martin website regularly for updated documentation. We publish revised
manuals each time we can improve the quality of the information we provide and each time we release new
firmware with changes or new features. Each time we revise this guide we list any important changes on
page 2 so that you can keep track of updates.
Operating the fixture
Before applying power to or operating the ERA 500 Hybrid IP:
• Read the ‘Safety Information’ section of the fixture’s Safety and Installation Manual.
• Check that the installation is safe and secure.
• Be prepared for the fixture to light up suddenly. Check that no-one is looking at the fixture from close
range.
• Be prepared for the head to move suddenly. Check that there will be no risk of collision with persons or
objects.
The ERA 500 Hybrid IP does not have an On/Off switch. To apply power to the fixture, apply power to the
power input cable. The fixture’s Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors can also be connected live or under
load.
Lamp lifetimes
The ERA 500 Hybrid IP in combination with the Philips MSD Platinum 18 R LL lamp has a long-life lamp
management feature that extends the lamp lifetime beyond the nominal figure of 1500 hours. You can
achieve up to 6000 hours in a typical entertainment context.
The lamp lifetime warning system in the fixture’s control panel display takes real use of the lamp and the
periods of low-power lamp mode into account. Messages when the lamp reaches 80% and 90% of its
lifetime give useful warnings that lamp replacement will soon be necessary. Do not exceed the lamp lifetime.
Replace the lamp at the latest when a CHANGE LAMP message appears in the fixture’s display.
Humidity
It is normal for a small amount of condensation to appear inside the fixture as a result of changes in
atmospheric conditions and ambient temperatures. This condensation should gradually disappear as the
pressure relief valves purge humidity during warm-up/cool-down cycles.
If excessive condensation appears inside the fixture, check the humidity readouts in the INFORMATION
menu in the fixture’s control panel display. If humidity is higher than 50%, carry out the dehumidification
procedure as directed in the Safety and Installation Manual.
Pooling of water inside the fixture may be an indication that one of the seals or housings is damaged.
