Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth) via the power input cable.
Do not remove the protective coating on the housing or loosen screws to establish a
separate ground (earth) connection from the fixture's chassis.
Use only a source of mains power that complies with local building and electrical codes and
has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the fixture with power must be
located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixture can easily be disconnected
from power.
Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power before carrying out any installation, cleaning or
maintenance work and when the fixture is not in use.
Isolate the fixture from power immediately if the power plug or any seal, cover, cable, or
other component is damaged, defective, deformed, showing signs of water ingress or
showing signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until repairs have been completed.
Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in
perfect condition and rated for the electrical requirements of all connected devices.
Do not connect a device to power if its maximum current draw will exceed the electrical
ratings of any cable or connector used in the chain.
Do not remove any cover from the fixture.
Do not cover, immerse or block the pressure equalization valve on the fixture's connections
panel. Check the pressure equalization valve periodically. If it appears dirty it may be
becoming blocked. Contact an authorized Martin service agent for possible replacement.
Do not use this equipment at an altitude of more than 2000 m (6570 ft.) above sea level.
Protection from burns and fire
Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (T
) exceeds 50° C (122° F). At this
a
temperature, a thermal protection system shuts the fixture down automatically.
The surface of the fixture can reach up to 70° C (158° F) during operation. Avoid contact by
persons and materials. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before handling.
Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture. Keep all combustible materials (e.g.
fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.5 m (1.7 ft.) away from the fixture.
Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture. Provide a minimum
clearance of 0.5 m (1.7 ft.) around fans and air vents.
Do not use the fixture to illuminate surfaces within 2 m (6.6 ft.) of the fixture.
Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any optical component.
See drawing below. The fixture's lenses can focus the sun's rays inside the fixture, creating
a risk of fire and damage. Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other
source of powerful light from any angle, even for a few seconds. Make sure that the head
will be pointing away from the sun and from any other potential source of powerful light at all
times, even when the fixture is not in use.
