Maintenance

Read 'Safety information' on page 4 before servicing the fixture.
Important! Opening the fixture can allow moisture to enter and cause condensation on the front
glass. Read 'Managing humidity' below and follow the guidelines in this user manual carefully.
Refer any service or repair operation not described in this manual to an authorized Martin™ service
technician. Do not try to carry out such an operation yourself, as doing so may present a health or
safety risk. It may also cause damage or malfunction, and it may void your product warranty.
Installation, on-site service and maintenance can be provided worldwide by the Martin™ Global Service
organization and its approved agents, giving owners access to Martin's expertise and product
knowledge in a partnership that will ensure the highest level of performance throughout the product's
lifetime. Please contact your Martin™ supplier for details.
Optical components have fragile coatings and are exposed to very high temperatures. Handle and
store components with care. Wear cotton gloves while handling them. Keep them perfectly clean and
free of oil and grease to reduce the risk of heat damage.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust and dirt degrades the
fixture's light output and cooling ability.
Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible
to specify precise cleaning intervals for the Exterior Projection 1000. Inspect fixtures within their first
few weeks 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.
Do not use products that contain solvents, abrasives or caustic agents for cleaning, as they can cause
surface damage to the fixture. The aluminum housing and front glass can be cleaned with mild
detergents such as those for washing cars.
To clean the housing and front glass:
1. Isolate the fixture from AC power and allow the fixture to cool for 20 minutes.
2. Visually check that the silicone seals and the power and data cables are in good condition. If any
seal or cable shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of water resistance, stop cleaning the fixture
and contact a Martin authorized service technician for replacement.
3. If seals are in good condition, rinse off loose dirt with a hose or low-pressure water spray.
4. Wash the aluminum housing and front glass using warm water with a little mild detergent and a soft
brush or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Managing humidity

Martin™ Exterior fixtures are IP66-rated and are designed to resist water and moisture in environments
with widely varying climate, temperature and humidity conditions. But if fixtures are not managed
correctly during installation and service, water and moisture can enter, leading to humidity and
condensation inside the fixtures. Maximize the performance and service life of your product by following
the precautions in this section.

General

• Carry out service during low-humidly weather conditions (or indoors if possible). Check that fixtures
are dry and free of moist air before closing them.
• Tighten cover screws exactly as directed in this manual and using a torque driver.
