Installing
Read the ‘Safety Information’ section starting on page 4 before installing, applying power to or operating the device.
Physical installation
The Exterior AC-Feeder is designed to be mounted on a flat surface in any orientation with four M6 screws or other suitable fasteners. Four holes (see I on previous page) for fasteners are provided in the flanges at the corners of the device. Use fasteners that are suitable for the application and for the installation environment.
The Exterior AC-Feeder can also be fastened to a rigging clamp with an M12 bolt passed through one of the two holes J and installed on a rigging truss. If you install the AC-Feeder using a rigging clamp in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, attach a safety cable that is approved for the weight of the device to one of the holes J and anchor the safety cable securely (by looping it around the rigging truss, for example). Remove as much slack as possible from the safety cable, looping it more than once around the truss if necessary. Make sure that the safety cable will catch the device if the rigging clamp fails.
Using cable glands
Where cable glands are used for cable entry, follow the instructions in this section to ensure that the product's IP66-rating is maintained.
To install a cable using a cable gland:

Connecting hybrid (data and DC power) output to fixtures
The Exterior AC-Feeder is supplied with a cable tail for sending data and DC power to a daisy-chain of Martin Exterior Dot-1/4/9 Pro fixtures.
Power management switch
The Exterior AC-Feeder features a POWER management switch on the PCB next to the network data terminals. The switch has the following settings:
| FULL | Forces the connected Martin lighting fixtures to run in full-power mode, overriding any power mode commands from the P3 System Controller, Art-Net controller, sACN controller or RDM controller. |
| HALF | Forces the connected Martin lighting fixtures to run in half-power mode, overriding any power mode commands from the P3 System Controller, Art-Net controller, sACN controller or RDM controller. |
| CONTROL | Allows the P3 System Controller, Art-Net controller, sACN controller or RDM controller to set the Martin fixtures' power modes. |
Setting fixtures to HALF power can be useful for applications where full power is not needed or may be undesirable. The HALF setting also lets you connect a higher number of fixtures to the hybrid output, meaning that an installation will require fewer power supply and feeder devices.
Note that when the POWER management switch is set to FULL or HALF, it is not possible to adjust the power mode from the P3 System Controller, Art-Net controller, sACN controller or RDM controller.
