Page 6: Introduction
Introduction Thank you for selecting the Martin Rail Light, a modular system of fluorescent-tube based luminaires that are remotely dimmable via an analog 1-10 V control device. The Rail Light luminaire is designed primarily for the dynamic illumination of bridges and walkways. Dimmable T5 fluorescent tubes offer high efficiency and long lamp life. -
Page 7: Installation
The Rail Light is designed to be mounted on brackets or posts using suitable hardware. Martin can advise and supply hardware if desired. Individual luminaires are mounted end-to-end, with power and control cables running through waterproof connectors from one luminaire into the next. - Page 8 It is important to allow a clearance of exactly 5 mm between luminaires (see Figure 1) so that waterproofing is maintained while leaving enough space for thermal expansion. 5 mm Figure 1: Clearance between luminaires To mount the Rail Light: Figure 2: Mounting post and captive nuts 1.
- Page 9 4. Tighten the screws and check that the luminaire is totally secure. Figure 3: Luminaire-to-luminaire connection 5. See Figure 3. Holding the second luminaire approximately in position, push the wires from the first luminaire through the entry hole in the end of the second luminaire and into the second luminaire’s housing.
- Page 10 1. See Figure 4 and Figure 5. Note the position of the drilling guide groove (A) in the channel on the lower side of the luminaire. Drill or grind a flat countersink 36 mm in diameter, centered on the guide groove and flush with the guide groove surface at the bottom of the channel,...

A C p o w e r : g e n e r a l Warning! It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all local safety regulations and legal requirements are observed when installing and connecting the Rail Light, and that all power cable and equipment is adequately dimensioned and of appropriate type for the installation. - Page 12 distribution board to the first luminaire and a further distance of 20 m (66 ft.) to the middle of the circuit. At a line impedance of 400 mΩ, the maximum is reduced by 10%, and at a line impedance of 200 mΩ it is reduced by 20%.

Page 13: Connecting To Power And Control
Connecti n g to power and co ntrol Removing components for access to connections To gain access for connecting to power and control circuits: 1. Isolate the cables from power and make sure that power cannot be connected accidentally. Put on safety gloves to protect your fingers, especially from the sharp edges of the reflector. - Page 14 Schematic overview of power connections Rail Light luminaires are designed to accept power input from a three-phase system. For example: • In luminaires containing one armature, one phase can be used to feed the armature. • In luminaires containing two armatures, two phases can be used to feed two armatures.

Ensure that power cannot be applied to cables during installation. 1. Ensure that power cable is disconnected from power and cannot be reconnected.

Operation Warning! Read “Safety information” on page 4 before attempting to install, operate or service this product. B u r n i n g i n f l u o r es c e n t t u b e s For optimum tube life and performance, burn in new fluorescent tubes for 100 hours at full power. -
Page 19: Service
Service Warning! Read “Safety information” on page 4 before attempting to install, operate or service this product. With long-life fluorescent tubes and no moving parts, the Rail Light is almost service-free. However, occasional cleaning is necessary to maintain the appearance and performance of the product. The Rail Light’s Osram T5 tubes have an average lifetime of 20 000 hours, but tube life will vary depending on operating conditions. -
Page 20: Cleaning
5. To install a new tube, slide the tube’s terminal pins fully into their sockets and rotate the tube 90° in either direction to engage the pins. Check that the tube is held securely in the sockets. Figure 12: Tube removal 6. -
