Protection from electric shock

Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture. Do not immerse the fixture in water or any other fluid. Do not install the fixture in a location where flooding may occur.

Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth).

Disconnect the fixture from AC power when not in use.

Isolate the fixture from power immediately if any seal, cover, cable, or other component is damaged, defective, deformed or showing signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until repairs have been completed.

Do not open the fixture or remove any cover. Refer any service operation not described in this manual to an authorized Martin Service partner.

Shut down power to the entire installation at the main power distribution board and lock out power before carrying out any installation or maintenance work.

Use only a source of AC mains power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.

To connect the fixture to AC mains power, you must first obtain 16 AWG or 1.5mm^2 power input cable that is 8 A rated. If you intend to connect devices to AC mains power by creating a daisy chain of interconnected devices, you must obtain 12 AWG or 2.5mm^2 power input cable that is 16 A rated.

In the USA and Canada, power input and power relay cables must be UL-listed, type SJT or better. In the EU, the cables must be type H05RN-F or better. Suitable cables with the correct connectors are available from Martin.

The fixture has a typical total power consumption of 530W

The fixture draws a maximum total current of:

  • 5.3 A when connected to mains power at 100 - 120V
  • 2.5 A when connected to mains power at 208V
    2.2 A when connected to mains power at 230-240 V~

Do not connect a device - or an interconnected daisy chain of devices - to power if the maximum resulting current draw will exceed the electrical ratings of any cable or connector used to supply power.

Before connecting any devices to the fixture's MAINS THRU/OUT connector, check the maximum current draw of all the devices that you will connect to power in a chain. Do not exceed a total of 16 amps maximum when you add together the current draw for the entire chain, including the first device in the chain.

If you relay power from one ELP Manet 8F fixture to another by connecting one fixture's MAINS THRU/OUT connector to the next fixture's MAINS IN connector, observe the following safety limits:

  • Do not connect more than three (3) ELP Manet 8F fixtures in total to each other in a daisy chain when supplying the fixture with mains power from 100V to 120V .
  • Do not connect more than three (3) ELP Manet 8F fixtures in total to each other in a daisy chain when supplying the fixture with mains power at 208V .
  • Do not connect more than five (5) ELP Manet 8F fixtures in total to each other in a daisy chain when supplying the fixture with mains power from 230V to 240V .

The fixture draws a typical half-cycle RMS inrush current of 12.7 A for the first 10 milliseconds when mains power is first applied to the fixture at 230V 50Hz

The voltage and AC frequency of the power at the fixture's MAINS OUT connector are the same as those applied at the MAINS IN connector.

Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition, are rated for the current requirements of all connected devices, and are of suitable type for the location (including water, pollution, temperature and UV resistance).

The fixture's DMX transceiver is isolated/SELV to prevent ground loops and for safety reasons.

MARTIN ELP Manet 8F - Protection from electric shock - 1

Protection from burns and fire

Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40^ (104^) .

The surface of the fixture can reach up to 68^ C (155^ F) if the fixture is operated at the maximum permitted ambient temperature. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.

Install the fixture on a non-combustible surface (brick, concrete, plaster etc.) only.

Keep a minimum distance of 50~cm (19 in.) between the fixture and combustible materials (fabric, wood, paper etc.).

Do not aim light from the fixture at any surface that is less than 1m (3.3 ft.) from the fixture.

Keep the fixture well away from flammable materials (volatile liquids etc.).

Do not expose the front glass to sunlight or any other strong light source from any angle. Lenses can focus the sun's rays inside the fixture, creating a potential fire hazard.

Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.

Allow at least 0.2m (8 in.) free space around the fixture.

Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.

Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual or install other than genuine Martin parts. Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any lens or other optical component. Use only accessories approved by Martin to modify the light beam.

MARTIN ELP Manet 8F - Protection from burns and fire - 1

Protection from eye injury

The light from the LED emitters is possibly hazardous and may be harmful to the eyes. Do not look directly into the product's light output.

Do not look at the light output with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may concentrate the light output.

Ensure that persons are not looking directly into the front of the fixture when the product lights up suddenly. This can happen when power is applied, when the product receives a DMX signal, or when certain control menu items are selected.

To minimize the risk of eye irritation or injury, disconnect the fixture from power at all times when the fixture is not in use and provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or near the fixture.

This fixture corresponds to Risk Group 2 for blue light only according to IEC/TR 62778. It emits possibly hazardous optical radiation. It falls into the Risk Group categories shown below according to IEC/TR 62778 under worst-case conditions.

MARTIN ELP Manet 8F - Protection from eye injury - 1

At a distance of less than 0.2m (7.9 in.) from the fixture, the light output can potentially cause eye or skin injury before an exposed person's natural aversion responses (blink reflex and reaction to skin discomfort) can protect them. At distances greater than 0.2m (7.9 in.), potential eye and skin injury hazards from the light output are normally prevented by natural aversion reflexes.

Position the fixture so that persons cannot be exposed to the fixture's light output at a distance of less than 0.2m (7.9 in.) from the fixture, and so that prolonged staring into the light output at less than 11.9m (40 ft.) from the fixture is not expected.

MARTIN ELP Manet 8F - Protection from eye injury - 2

Protection from injury

Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure as described in this manual when in use. Do not stand it on a surface where it may fall over or present a hazard.

The fixture is not portable when installed.

Before installing, check that the supporting structure can safely bear at least six times (or more if required by locally applicable regulations) the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

In marine applications and other environments where movement or vibration may be present, the fixture must be fastened to a rigging truss or other structure by means of an omega bracket bolted to the fixture's yoke and a rigging clamp that completely encircles the truss chord or pipe such as a half-coupler clamp. Do not use a rigging clamp bolted directly to the fixture's yoke. Do not use a G-clamp or other clamp with open jaws.

If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, install as described in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that is approved by an official body such as TUV as a safety attachment for the weight that it secures. The safety cable must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 or BGV C1 / DGUV 17, and must be capable of bearing a static suspended load at least six times (or more if required by locally applicable regulations) the weight that it secures.

Eliminate as much slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the rigging truss, for example). Make sure that, if the primary attachment fails, the fixture cannot fall more than 20~cm (8 inches) maximum before the safety cable catches it.

If the safety cable attachment point becomes deformed, do not suspend the fixture. Have the fixture repaired by an authorized Martin service partner.

The fixture may be fastened to a surface with its yoke hanging vertically downwards or standing vertically only. Do not try to fasten the fixture to a surface with its yoke at any other angle than vertical.

If you fasten the fixture's yoke directly to a surface, use fasteners that are strong enough and of a suitable type for the application and environment. Install a washer directly under the head of each fastener. All fasteners used must be grade 8.8 steel minimum. Bolts must be fastened with self-locking nuts.

Ensure that any accessories such as gel frames and barn doors are securely fastened.

Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any optical component.

If an operating problem occurs, stop using the fixture immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use a fixture that is obviously damaged.

Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, setting, adjusting, or cleaning the fixture.

Service and maintenance

MARTIN ELP Manet 8F - Service and maintenance - 1

Warning! Read 'Safety information' on page 6 before servicing the fixture.

Refer any service operation not described in this user manual to a qualified service technician.

Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.

Disconnect mains power before cleaning or servicing the fixture.

Service fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from failing parts, tools or other materials.

Cleaning

The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the fixture. Environmental factors that may result in a need for frequent cleaning include:

  • Use of smoke or fog machines.
  • High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).
    Presence of cigarette smoke.
    Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment at outdoor events, for example).

If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first 100 hours of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.

Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage.

To clean the fixture:

  1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and the air vents at the back and sides of the head and in the base with low-pressure compressed air.
  3. Clean the front glass by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub the surface hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a

soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water. You can remove the lens tube to clean the rear side of the lens if needed.

  1. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.
