Page 57
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.

System status indicators in a Splitter See Figure 34. Two indicator LEDs inside a Splitter give information about system status: • Link flashes green: indicates data transmission at one or both of the DMX data outputs. • Voltage lights constant yellow: indicates that the DC power received is outside the 20-40 V acceptable range.
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.

Installing software 1. Connect a PC running the Martin Software Uploader application to a Martin DABS 1™ interface box (included in P/N 90758090) and from there to the Luminaire’s DMX data input or to a suitable point on the DMX link. Software will be uploaded to that Luminaire and all Luminaires of the same type that are powered on and connected via the DMX link.
