    The Alien LED Downlight™ system comprises: 1. A driver unit that relays signals from a DMX controller such as the Martin Light Fox™ to the rest of the system via combined power/data cables. The driver unit also stores stand-alone programs that it can run on the rest of the system without the need for a DMX controller.

  • Page 12: Ac Power

    Alien LED Downlight system, please contact your Martin supplier for assistance. The Alien LED Downlight driver unit is protected by a 5 A slow-blow primary fuse (note that fuses are not user-serviceable). See "Specifications" on page 27 for details of typical current drawn.

  • Page 13: Power Source Quality

    1. Shut down power at source and ensure that it cannot be reapplied, even accidentally, by removing a distribution circuit fuse for example. 2. Connect the conductors in the Alien LED Downlight driver unit power cable to the distribution circuit as follows:...

  • Page 14: Connecting Heads

    Observe these markings carefully, or you will damage the circuits in the T-connector. Power cables that carry a strong current can affect the data signal in Alien LED Downlight cables (see “Power source quality” on page 13). Route Alien LED Downlight system cables as far as possible from potential sources of interference.

  • Page 15: Control Data Link

    • Devices that are connected to a controller via a data link must be ‘daisy-chained’, i.e. the data cable must be connected in one single chain. • Each chain may contain a maximum of 32 Alien LED Downlight driver units or similar devices. • An optically isolated amplifier-splitter such as the Martin RS-485 Opto-Splitter (P/N 90758060) must be used to: - extend a control data link beyond 500 meters (1640 ft.), or...

  • Page 16: Connecting The Data Link

    Many DMX lighting controllers have XLR output connectors. To connect these to the RJ-45 connectors in the Alien LED Downlight system, use an XLR to RJ-45 adapter, (included with driver unit). If you need to rewire XLR connectors, pin numbers are normally marked on connectors.

    System setup The Alien LED Downlight system is set up using the DIP switch (see Figure 4) and the yellow Program button on the side of the driver unit. Figure 4: DIP switch Setting up stand-alone operation In stand-alone operation, no DMX controller is required. Instead, pre-programmed lighting effects stored in the driver unit memory are sent to the Alien LED Downlight luminaires for display when stand-alone operation is enabled.

  • Page 23: Operation

    When the Alien LED Downlight system is set up for DMX-controlled operation, faders on the DMX controller are used to control color and intensity. The control method depends on which color control mode the Alien LED Downlight system is set to (see “Setting the color control mode to RGBW or HSI” on page 21): In RGBW mode, four channels on the controller are used to control the intensity of red, green, blue and white from 0% to 100%.

  • Page 24: Service And Maintenance

    Any service procedures not described in this section must be carried out by the Martin Service organization or its authorized agents. It is Martin policy to use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, optical components in all lighting fixtures are subject to wear and tear over the life of the fixture, resulting in gradual changes in color rendition, for example.
