It provides an alternative to the P3 PowerPort in supplying power to fixtures in a DMX-controlled system. The unit offers the following features:
IP66-rated
- Wall-mountable
- Protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, overtemperature, all with auto-recovery
- Surge protection up to 4 KV
- No configuration or addressing required.
For the latest documentation, product specifications and other information about this and all Martin Professional products, please visit the Martin website at http://www.martin.com.
Using for the first time
Before applying power to the Martin IP66 PSU 240W:
- Carefully review “Safety Information” on page 3.
- Check that the local AC power voltage is within the range listed on the Martin IP66 PSU 240W's serial number label.
Physical installation

Warning! Read "Safety Information" on page 3 before installing devices.
The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation location, anchoring method, mounting hardware and electrical installation is the responsibility of the installer. All local safety regulations and legal requirements must be observed when installing and connecting the devices. Installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only.
Contact your Martin supplier for assistance if you have any questions about how to install this product safely.
Location and orientation
The Martin IP66 PSU 240W has an IP rating of 66 and is suitable for outdoor installation.
Allow 5 cm (2 in.) space and free airflow around the Martin IP66 PSU 240W. Do not bury or cover the PSU.
Install the Martin IP66 PSU 240W at least 20 cm (8 in.) away from any combustible materials (wood, paper, etc.) and well away from any flammable materials.
The housing of the Martin IP66 PSU 240W can reach 80° C (176° F). Restrict public access or locate PSUs so that they cannot accidentally be touched.
The PSU can be installed in any orientation.
Mounting
Respect all local safety, fire and building regulations governing the installation of electrical equipment in cavities or plenums. Allow free airflow and at least 5 cm (2 in.) of free space around the device. Allow sufficient ventilation to ensure that the ambient temperature will not exceed 40° C ( 104° F) for the Martin IP66 PSU 240W and 45° C ( 113° F) for Tripix fixtures.
The Martin IP66 PSU 240W must be screwed or bolted securely to a flat surface in a location that is accessible for service using 5 mm shaft diameter screws or M5 bolts through the four mounting holes at the corners of the devices. Use washers under the screw or bolt heads. Use screw anchors in the mounting surface if necessary.
AC power

Warning! Read "Safety Information" on page 3 before installing this product. Lock out power to the entire installation before working on cables and connections or removing any cover.
Warning! Electrical installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only.
Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the Martin IP66 PSU 240W must be grounded (earthed). The AC power distribution system must be fitted with current overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) circuit breakers as well as a means to isolate the system from power and lock out power during service.
Important! Do not connect the Martin IP66 PSU 240W to an electrical dimmer system. Doing so can damage the electronics.
If you require help in planning or dimensioning the power distribution system, please contact your Martin supplier for assistance.
The Martin IP66 PSU 240W must be connected to a single-phase 3-wire (live, neutral, ground/earth) power distribution system at 100-240 VAC nominal, 50/60 Hz. Do not connect to power at any other voltage or frequency.
The Martin IP66 PSU 240W does not have a power on/off switch. Make sure that a means of isolating it from power (an on/off switch or a power plug that can be removed from a power outlet) is easily accessible.
Power input cable

Warning! The electrical equipment and cable used to supply the Martin IP66 PSU 240W with power must be in perfect condition, be adequately dimensioned for current requirements and respect maximum cable run lengths.
To connect the Martin IP66 PSU 240W to AC mains power:
- For North America, use only SJTW (or STW), 3-conductor 18 AWG (or 16 AWG) power input cable rated minimum 105° C (221° F), VW-1.
- For the EU, use only power input cable type H05RN-F, 3 × 0.75 mm2 .
Check the condition of cables carefully. If there is a break or cut at any point in a cable (for example at a connection point), and if this is
exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cable due to the vacuum effect of temperature fluctuations during operation.
Power plug
The Martin IP66 PSU 240W can be hard-wired to a building's AC mains electrical installation, but if you decide to fit the power cable with a plug that is suitable for your AC mains power outlets, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug following the plug manufacturer's instructions.
Table 1 shows some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
| Wire color (US system) | Wire color (EU system) | Conductor | Symbol | Screw (US) |
| Black | Brown | Live | L | Yellow or Brass |
| White | Blue | Neutral | N | |
| Green | Yellow/Green | Ground (Earth) | Green | |
Table 1: Cable color-coding and conductor identification
Power input cable
A power input cable that meets the specifications given under “Power input cable” on the previous page must be supplied by the user. The cable must have an external diameter of 5 – 9.5 mm (0.2 – 0.37 in.), otherwise the power cable entry gland will not be effective to IP66.
Installing the power input cable
- Unfasten all the screws on the input side cover and lift the cover away from the housing as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Installing a power input cable
- Pass the power input cable through the cable gland.
- Connect the power cable conductors to the power terminals inside the cover using Table 1 and the markings on the terminals as a guide.
- Check carefully that the cover seal is correctly positioned, then replace the cover and tighten all the screws to a torque of 1 ± 0.1 Nm
- Tighten the outer nut on the cable gland to compress the gland and make the cable entry waterproof.
- Prepare the other end of the power input cable for connection to AC mains power, but do not apply power until all installation work is completed.
Connections

Important! Read the user manuals of all products involved before making connections. Incorrect configuration may present a risk of fire, electric shock or damage.
Isolate the system from power before making connections.
The Martin IP66 PSU 240W is used together with a Y-shaped input / power inserter cable that combines DC power from the PSU with DMX data from a DMX/RDM controller and sends a hybrid (combined power and data) signal to lighting / video display fixtures.

Service and maintenance

Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before carrying out service or maintenance work on the Martin IP66 PSU 240W. Lock out power to the entire distribution system and allow fixtures to cool before servicing or opening any cover.
The service and maintenance procedures described in this section must be carried out by qualified professionals only. Any service procedures not described in this section must be carried out by the Martin Service organization or its authorized agents.
Cleaning

Warning! Do not use a high-pressure water jet for cleaning.
Regular cleaning is essential for fixture life and performance. Build up of dust and dirt degrades the PSU's cooling ability.
Clean the Martin IP66 PSU 240W when it becomes dirty. Use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and a mild detergent such as car shampoo. Take care not to damage cables during cleaning. Do not use products that contain solvents, abrasives or caustic agents for cleaning.
Fuse

Warning! The fuse in the Martin IP66 PSU 240W must be replaced by an authorized Martin Service partner only.
If you suspect that the PSU's fuse has blown, contact Martin for assistance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Probable | cause(s) | Remedy |
| PSU and connected lighting fixtures are completely dead | No power to Martin IP66 PSU 240W | Check power and connections. | |
