PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
- Isolate the entire system from AC mains power and make sure that power cannot be applied during work on the system.
-
Use only a single-phase, three-wire AC mains power source that complies with local building and electrical codes, that has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection, and that is within the voltage and frequency range specified on the serial number label on the PSU.
-
Ensure that the system is electrically connected to ground (earth) as described in this guide.
- Either power outlet sockets or hard-wired circuits that incorporate power on/off switches must be used to supply the system with power. Power plugs and/or power on/off switches must be easily accessible so that the system can be isolated from power quickly.
- Provide a means of locking out power (ensure that power can be shut down and is impossible to reapply, even accidentally) during service.
- Connect the PSU to AC mains power and relay power from one PSU to another using only 3-conductor neoprene- or hypalon-jacket cable that is heat resistant to minimum 90^ (194° F), rated minimum 16 amps, approved for the installation environment (UV, temperature, outdoor use, etc.) and has an external diameter of 6 - 12 mm (0.24 - 0.47 inch). In North America the power cable must be type SJO or type SOOW, minimum 16/3 AWG and rated minimum 300 VAC. In the EU the cable must be minimum 2.5mm^2 conductor size and HAR approved or equivalent.
- Use only hybrid (combined power and data) luminaire cables installed in Luminaires by Martin™ or its authorized agents to connect Luminaires. If the 3 m (9.8 ft.) luminaire cable supplied pre-installed is too short, extend it only with the extension cable kit available from Martin™.
- Use only the hybrid (combined power and data) Splitter cables supplied by Martin for the products concerned to connect a PSU to Splitters and to connect Splitters to each other.
- Do not connect the system to power unless all cable glands are sealed by either a cable or a blanking plug installed as described in this guide.
- Before using the system, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition, rated for the current requirements of all connected devices, protected to IP68 or higher and of suitable type for the location (including water, pollution, temperature and UV resistance).
- Protect all external connections inside suitable waterproof junction boxes or as required by local laws, regulations or codes. Ensure that the ends of cables cannot come into contact with water or moisture, as the vacuum created in devices during cooldowns can suck moisture up cable.
- Isolate the system from power immediately if any device, cable, cable gland or power plug is in any way damaged or defective, or if there are any signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until the fault has been rectified.
- Do not operate the system if any cover or component is missing, damaged or deformed.
- Shut down power to the system when it is not in use.
- Refer any service operation not described in this guide to an authorized Martin Service partner.


SYSTEM SAFETY LIMITS
- Do not connect any chain of devices (PSUs, Splitters and Luminaires) that will draw a total combined current of more than 16 amps to AC mains power. Each time you reach the limit of 16 amps, provide a new source of AC mains power from a mains power distribution circuit and create a new chain of devices that is connected to mains power via its own PSU.
- Do not connect any chain of devices that contains more than fifteen Exterior 50 or five Exterior 100 Luminaires (or any combination within these limits where three Exterior 50 Luminaires is equivalent to one Exterior 100 Luminaire) to any single output from a PSU.
- Do not connect chains of devices that contain a combined total of more than thirty Exterior 50 or ten Exterior 100 Luminaires (or any combination within these limits where three Exterior 50 Luminaires is equivalent to one Exterior 100 Luminaire) to one PSU.
- Do not allow any chain of devices linked by hybrid Splitter cable to exceed a maximum total length of 50 m (164 ft.) from the PSU to the last Splitter in the chain.
- Do not allow any luminaire cable to exceed a maximum length of 13 m (42.6 ft.) from a Splitter (or a PSU) to a Luminaire.

PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
- Provide a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 in.) from the front surface of luminaires to combustible materials.
- Do not operate the US model PSU in an ambient temperature ( T_a ) that exceeds 40°C (104°F). Do not operate other devices in the system in an ambient temperature ( T_a ) that exceeds 45°C (113°F).
- Do not modify devices in any way not described in this guide or install other than genuine Martin parts. Do not stick filters, masks or other materials directly onto Luminaires. Use only Martin approved accessories to mask or modify the light beam.
- Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses. Replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating only.

PROTECTION FROM INJURY
- Do not view the light output with optical instruments or any device that may concentrate the beam.
- When installing devices overhead, ensure that the supporting structure and all hardware used can hold the weight of all the devices they support plus an adequate safety margin.
- Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing or removing an overhead device.

- Enough DMX terminators to allow termination at the ends of all DMX chains when installing the Exterior 50 & 100 system are supplied with Splitters and PSUs.
General information
Before you start installing the Exterior 50 & 100 system:
- Read the "Safety information" section starting on page 8 carefully. - Read this "General information" section carefully to familiarize yourself with system layout principles and installation procedure.
- Check that you have all the components you will need, including hybrid cable for Splitters and PSUs that can be ordered from Martin™.
- Check that the local AC mains power voltage is within the range shown on the PSU's serial number label.
- Make sure that you have a plan of the installation.
Components in the system
The Exterior 50 & 100 system includes four types of device:
- The Exterior 50 ^TM , an IP68-rated LED washlight Luminaire.
- The Exterior 100 ^TM , an IP68-rated LED washlight Luminaire.
- The Exterior 50 & 100 PSU, a Power Supply Unit in an IPX7-rated housing that supplies the Exterior 50 & 100 system with 30 VDC power. The PSU also relays DMX and RDM (Remote Device Management) data from a controller console or PC running controller software to the system.
- The Exterior 50 & 100 Splitter, a power/data splitter device housed in an IP65-rated junction box. The junction box can be waterproofed to IP68 by applying a sealing compound available from Martin™. Splitters relay 30 VDC power as well as DMX and RDM data to Luminaires and other Splitters.
All luminaires are available in RGBW, CW (cool white), NW (neutral white) and WW (warm white) options. The Exterior 100 is available in narrow and medium-angle options.
Hybrid (power and data) cable from Martin ^™ must be used to connect PSUs and Splitters. Hybrid cable is ordered separately.
A range of accessories for the system is available from Martin™ (see "Accessories" on page 79).
System power: general
The system is powered by connecting the Exterior 50 & 100 PSU to AC mains power.
System control: general
The Exterior 50 & 100 system can be:
- controlled using a DMX control device or PC application,
- set up and controlled using a PC running the Martin M-PC™ RDM-compliant Windows application via a Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX interface box, or
- set up and programmed to display a single default scene using the infrared remote control unit available as an accessory from Martin™.
Data link
The DMX (and RDM if used) data signal from a DMX controller or PC must be sent to the PSU via a data link that conforms to DMX512-A specifications.
- Use DMX cable for the data link (microphone cable does not have the correct impedance).
- You must normally create the data link from the control device to the PSU as one single daisy chain (i.e. you must not split the data link into a 'Y'), but you can split the DMX data link into up to five branches if you use an amplifier/splitter such as the optically isolated Martin DMX 5.3 Splitter (P/N 90758140) or Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter (P/N 90758150) installed in a dry location.
- You must connect only one PSU directly to the DMX OUT data throughput in a PSU (but you can connect one daisy chain of PSUs in which each PSU is connected to the previous PSU's s DMX OUT data throughput).
- You must connect only one Splitter or one Luminaire directly to one OUTPUT hybrid output in a PSU (but you can connect one daisy chain of Splitters and Luminaires).
- Do not connect more than one Splitter (or one Luminaire) to the three-way data output quick-lock terminal block marked GND, DMX-, DMX+ and two-way 30 VDC output screw terminals marked +U and -U in a Splitter.
- Do not connect more than one Luminaire to the four-way hybrid output quick-lock terminal block marked DMX-, DMX+, +U, -U from a Splitter.
Two simple rules are:
- You can split the data link before a PSU using an amplifier/splitter device, as stated above, but do not split the hybrid power and data cable link after the PSU into a 'Y'.
- Do not connect more than one device or more than one daisy chain to one output from another device, because this will split the link into a 'Y'
In the Exterior 50 & 100 system, the data signal can be relayed from the PSU to either:
- two Luminaires directly via their hybrid (power and data) luminaire cables (see Figure 2 on page 18)
- a chain of Exterior 50 & 100 Splitters via hybrid Splitter cables and then sent to Luminaires via their luminaire cables (see Figure 3 on page 19)
- other PSUs by continuing the DMX link using DMX cable (see Figure 4 on page 21).
Exterior 50 & 100 PSUs and Splitters do not amplify or process the data signal when they relay it.
If you are in any doubt about how to install, set up or use DMX with the Exterior 50 & 100 system, your Martin supplier will be happy to provide guidance.
Data link DMX termination
Each time you end a data link to a PSU, a single Splitter or a daisy-chain of Splitters (i.e. you do not continue that link to another PSU or Splitter), you must terminate the data link by connecting a DMX line terminator across the data +ve (hot) and -ve (cold) conductors in the last PSU or Splitter on the link to absorb reflections that can disturb the data signal.
Enough DMX terminators for all possible configurations are supplied with PSUs and Splitters.
System layout: general
The following diagrams and information will help you to understand the system layout limits and possible options. Larger versions of the system layout diagrams are also available for download from the Product Support pages for the Exterior 50 & 100 on the Martin website at http://www.martin.com.

System layout limits
Warning! You may interconnect PSUs, Splitters and Luminaires as described in this section, but the total current draw of any group of interconnected devices must not exceed 16 amps. Each time you reach the 16 amp limit, you must create a new group of interconnected devices with their own connection to AC mains power.
Warning! Respect the following maximum limits when connecting Luminaires and Splitters to ANY ONE OUTPUT from an Exterior 50 & 100 PSU:
• Maximum FIVE Exterior 100 Luminaires per output, or
• Maximum FIFTEEN Exterior 50 Luminaires per output, or
- Any combination of Exterior 50 and Exterior 100 Luminaires within these limits where three Exterior 50 Luminaires are equivalent to one Exterior 100 Luminaire.
Warning! Respect the following maximum limits when connecting Luminaires and Splitters to ALL THE OUTPUTS from an Exterior 50 & 100 PSU:
• Maximum TEN Exterior 100 Luminaires in total, or
• Maximum THIRTY Exterior 50 Luminaires in total, or
- Any combination of Exterior 50 and Exterior 100 Luminaires within these limits where three Exterior 50 Luminaires are equivalent to one Exterior 100 Luminaire.

Warning! Any one run of hybrid cables that connects a PSU to a Splitter or chain of Splitters must not exceed a maximum total length of 50 m (164 ft.) from the PSU to the last Splitter in the chain.
Warning! Any one luminaire cable must not exceed a maximum length of 13 m (42.6 ft.).
One Exterior 100 Luminaire (up to 18 W) is the equivalent of three Exterior 50 (up to 6 W) Luminaires in terms of power consumption and current draw (see Figure 1).

Installation and connections: general

Warning! Read the "Safety information" section starting on page 8 before carrying out work on the Exterior 50 & 100 system.
Warning! Luminaire cables may be installed in Luminaires and serviced only by Martin ^TM and its authorized service agents.
Consult Martin™ if you have any doubts about the suitability and/or safety of an installation.
See the system layout diagrams in the "General information" section starting on page 13 for an overview of how PSUs, Splitters and Luminaires are linked. Note the following:
- Splitters can be used to link Luminaires to a PSU until the maximum safe number of Luminaires per PSU output or per PSU is reached (see "System layout limits" on page 16).
- The hybrid Splitter cables and luminaire cables used for internal system connections carry both 30 VDC power and control data:
- Links from PSUs to Splitters, and links between Splitters, must use the hybrid Splitter cable available from Martin™ in various lengths (see "Accessories" on page 79).

Filling a Splitter with IP68 sealant
If a Splitter needs to be protected to IP68, a sealing compound gel available from Martin™ must be injected into the Splitter using a standard caulking gun after all connections have been made.
The sealant is self-healing. This means that you can push a screwdriver through it, for example, and it will reseal itself.
It is possible to remove the sealant after applying it if you need full access to terminals again. If you remove the sealant, inject new sealant afterwards to maintain IP68 protection.

Important! Avoid skin contact with the sealant. Use protective gloves when working with the sealant.
To apply sealant to a Splitter:
-
Check that all cables have been connected and connections tested.
-
See Figure 31. Place the Splitter either horizontal (with its cover C facing upwards) or vertical (with membrane B facing upwards).
-
Either remove the two screws A and lift the Splitter cover off or use membrane B for access, whichever will let you inject the sealant vertically downwards into the Splitter.
-
Install the supplied mixer nozzle on the sealant cartridge and place the cartridge in a standard caulking gun.
-
The sealant in the cartridge is a thick liquid. Fill the Splitter completely with sealant, allowing air to escape.
-
If you removed the Splitter cover, reinstall it, fastening both screws A.
-
Allow the sealant to cure for 24 hours before exposing the Splitter to heavy splashing with water or immersion.

Setup
You can set Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires to display a programmable default scene and/or set them up for DMX control using the infrared remote control unit available as an accessory from Martin™. The remote control unit lets you communicate with one Luminaire at a time.
You can also set up Luminaires for DMX control and switch them between calibrated and raw modes using an RDM (Remote Device Management) compliant DMX controller such as the Martin M1 ^™ console or the Martin M-PC ^™ Windows application. An RDM-compliant controller connected to the data link lets you set up all the Luminaires on the link.
Setting up for DMX control
DMX Addressing
If DMX control of Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires is required, they must be set up to receive instructions from the DMX controller on a DMX channel or group of DMX channels in the 512 channels available in their DMX universe.
The DMX address, also known as the control address or start channel, is the first of these channels. Each fixture uses this channel and the channels immediately above it to receive instructions.
Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires use 1, 3, or 4 DMX channels, depending on model and raw/calibrated control mode. For example, if an RGBW Luminaire's DMX address is set to 1 and the Luminaire is in calibrated (RGB) mode, it will use channels 1 - 3. Channel 4 will be available as the DMX address for the next Luminaire.
If two or more identical Luminaires are set up with the same DMX address (RGBW Luminaires must also be in the same control mode, either raw RGBW or calibrated RGB), they will receive the same instructions and behave identically. Setting up identical Luminaires with the same address is an easy way to achieve synchronized action and can also be used as a troubleshooting tool.
Calibrated and Raw modes
Luminaires can be operated in either Calibrated or Raw control mode. Luminaires are supplied in Calibrated control mode, but they can be set to Calibrated or Raw mode via RDM using an RDM-compliant controller such as the Martin M-PC™ Windows application.
RGBW Luminaires
In RGBW Luminaires:
- Calibrated mode gives slightly reduced LED power but, LEDs follow factory-calibrated settings to give the best-matched color and white output across multiple Luminaires.
In Calibrated mode, color output is controlled using three RGB DMX channels. There is no DMX channel for white LED control. White output is added to the calibrated RGB output automatically as required to increase intensity and reduce color saturation.
- Raw mode allows all LEDs to be operated to their absolute maximum output regardless of color calibration issues. This means that hue, saturation, intensity and white color temperature can vary slightly between Luminaires.
In Raw mode, color output is controlled using four RGBW DMX channels. The white LED control channel must be manually adjusted to control intensity and color saturation in RGBW color mixing. Setting all four channels to 100% gives maximum intensity white.
White Luminaires
In Cool White, Neutral White and Warm White Luminaires:
- Calibrated mode gives slightly reduced LED power but sets LEDs to their factory-calibrated output power to give the best-matched white intensity across multiple Luminaires.
- Raw mode allows all LEDs to be operated to their absolute maximum output regardless of intensity issues. This means that white intensity can vary slightly between Luminaires.
Setting up using the remote control
An IR (infrared) remote control unit for the Exterior 50 & 100 system is available as an accessory from Martin™ (P/N 90510210).

Setting a Luminaire to Remote Control mode
Before you can set up or program a Luminaire with the remote control, you must set the Luminaire to Remote Control mode to allow communication between the two devices:
-
See Figure 36. Point the remote control at the IR sensor on the back of the Luminaire.
-
See Figure 35. Hold the PP key pressed in for five seconds. When communication is established, the status indicator LED incorporated in the sensor begins to flash green and the Luminaire gives three slow flashes (yellow in RGBW Luminaires).
-
See Figure 37. Note the last four digits of the Luminaire's serial number labeled on the fixture and enter them using the numeric keypad on the remote control. The Luminaire should flash each time you press a button.
-
Press the Sign key.
- If the four digits have been entered correctly, the Luminaire flashes (green in RGBW Luminaires) three times slowly to show that it has entered Remote

Control mode. The Luminaire automatically switches to DMX Address Setting mode.
- If the four digits have not been entered correctly, the Luminaire flashes (red in RGBW Luminaires) quickly and switches out of Remote Control mode. Repeat the above procedure from Step 1.
Note that:
- The IR sensor status indicator LED flashes each time a button on the remote control is pressed and the Luminaire accepts that entry.
- Only one parameter can be edited in one session of Remote Control mode. To edit the next parameter, you must re-enter Remote Control mode.
- If a Luminaire does not receive a remote control command for more than 20 seconds, it exits Remote Control mode without saving the configuration parameters.
- Any entered parameters are lost if you switch modes without storing those parameters.
Setting a Luminaire's DMX address
To set a Luminaire's DMX address with the remote control unit:
- Set the Luminaire to Remote Control mode (see previous section).
- Press + to enter DMX Address Setting mode.
- Enter the desired DMX address using the numeric keypad following these principles:
• Each time you enter digits, the Luminaire responds with short LED flashes.
- Enter the number in normal left-to-right order (first key pressed enters first digit on left of address).
- Any digits on the left that are not entered are interpreted as zero (if you only enter 5 or enter 05, your entry is interpreted as 005)
- Only the last three digits are accepted (if you enter 1234005, your entry is interpreted as 005).
- When you have entered the DMX address, press Sign to store the address in the Luminaire and exit DMX Address Setting Mode.
Programming a scene in a Luminaire
A ‘scene’ is a lighting effect or appearance (i.e. intensity, and in RGBW Luminaires color).
Note that:
- Sixteen intensity levels are available in programmed scenes.
- If a DMX signal is present, it overrides the programmed scene.
- The factory default values are zero for all Luminaires.
To program a Luminaire's default scene with the remote control unit:
-
Set the Luminaire to Remote Control mode (see previous section).
-
Press the — key to enter Scene Setting mode. The Luminaire responds with one short flash (blue in RGBW Luminaires) and the LEDs switch to the last stored scene. LEDs flash each time the Luminaire accepts an entry for the rest of this procedure.
-
In RGBW Luminaires, use digits 1 - 4 on the numeric keypad to select the individual LEDs:
-
1 selects Red
- 2 selects Green
- 3 selects Blue
-
4 selects White
-
Set LED intensity as follows:
-
Increases the intensity of the selected LEDs (in RGBW Luminaires) or all LEDs
- Decreases the intensity of the selected LEDs (in RGBW Luminaires) or all LEDs
- Sets all luminaires to zero intensity
-
Sats all luminaires to full intensity
-
When you have programmed the scene, press Sign to store the scene in the Luminaire and exit Scene Setting Mode.
An Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaire will display its default scene each time it is powered on, unless it receives a DMX signal.
Setting up via RDM using Martin M-PC™
The Exterior 50 & 100 system is compatible with RDM (Remote Device Management). Using an RDM-compliant DMX controller such as the Martin M-PC™ Windows application, you can communicate with the Luminaires on the data link via RDM. You can retrieve Luminaire data, and you can also:
- Set the DMX addresses of all the Luminaires on the link
- Set Luminaires to raw or calibrated modes.
To use Martin M-PC, connect a PC running this application to the data link using the Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX interface box.
Luminaire information and DMX address setting
See Figure 38. Opening the RDM View window in M-PC and clicking on the Scan button (arrowed bottom left) gives a list of the RDM-compliant devices on the data link (in this example, one Exterior 100 and one Exterior 50 are present on the link, and both are set to DMX address 1).

Operation
Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires can be operated using a DMX controller or set up to display a default scene that does not require DMX control.
If a Luminaire has been set up to display a default scene, it will display it as soon as power is applied, but if DMX commands are sent to a Luminaire, they override its default scene display.
Ambient temperatures
The Exterior 50 & 100 system – apart from the US model PSU for use in North America – can be operated at ambient temperatures from -40^ C ( -40^ F) to 45^ C ( 113^ F). The US model PSU for use in North America can be operated at ambient temperatures from -40^ C ( -40^ F) to 40^ C ( 104^ F). Do not operate devices outside their permitted temperature range.
DMX control
The industry-standard DMX system allows remote control of an Exterior 50 & 100 installation over the DMX data link using a DMX controller or a PC running DMX controller software such as the Martin M-PC ^™ application. If Luminaires have been set up with individual DMX addresses, they can be controlled individually.
The section “DMX protocols” on page 73 gives details of the control options available using DMX.
DMX channels in Raw and Calibrated modes
In RGBW Luminaires:
- RGBW control is available on four DMX channels when the Luminaire is set to Raw mode.
- RGB control is available on three DMX channels when the Luminaire is set to Calibrated mode.
When an RGBW Luminaire is set to Calibrated mode, white LED intensity is added automatically to match the color saturation and intensity levels set on the three RGB channels. Setting all three channels to 100% gives maximum intensity white, with all LEDs – including white – at their calibrated maximum.
In CW, NW and WW Luminaires, white LED intensity control is available on one DMX channel in both Raw and Calibrated modes.
See also "Calibrated and Raw modes" on page 62.
Using Martin M-PC™ for DMX control
See Figure 40. If you do not already have M-PC™ profiles for the models in the Exterior 50 & 100 series, you can create them in a few seconds.
Once you have profiles in the M-PC fixture library, you can control Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires via DMX using a Windows PC running M-PC™ and connected to the data link via a Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX interface box
See the Martin M-PC ^™ user documentation for full details of using the M-PC application.
