Protection from electric shock Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth). Disconnect the fixture from AC power when not in use. 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.

Protection from burns and fire Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F). The surface of the fixture can reach up to 55° C (131° F) if the fixture is operated at the maximum permitted ambient temperature. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.

Position the fixture so that persons cannot be exposed to the fixture's light output at a distance of less than 5.8 m (19 ft.) from the fixture, and so that prolonged staring into the light output at less than 23 m (75.5 ft.) from the fixture is not expected.
The Martin ELP CL IP can be controlled using any DMX-compliant controller and can be remotely configured by RDM. It also features stand-alone operation with capacity for up to 20 scenes.
Physical installation Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture. Warning! The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation location, anchoring method, mounting hardware and electrical installation are the responsibility of the installer. All local safety regulations and legal requirements must be observed when installing and connecting the fixture.
Mounting the fixture on a truss The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. Use a suitable rigging clamp such as a G-clamp or a half-coupler clamp (see illustration on right) fastened to the mounting yoke. To clamp the fixture to a truss: 1.
Changing the lens tube Four different lens tubes with fixed beam angles of 19°, 26°, 36° or 50° are available for the fixture. Two zoom lens tubes with either 15°-30° or 25°-50° zoom ranges are also available. All lens tubes are available in black or white finish.
AC power Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture. For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection. If you want to connect fixtures to power in a daisy-chain, use correctly dimensioned cables (see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’...
Page 15
If you install a power plug on a 12 AWG / 2.5 mm power input cable, install a grounding type (earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 16 A, 250 V. Power relay cables If you connect fixtures to power in a daisy-chain, we recommend that you use the 16 amp rated power relay cables available from Martin (see ‘Accessories’...
Control data Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture. Keep all connectors sealed with their rubber caps when not in use. Use only IP65-rated connectors when making data connections to the fixture. A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.
Fixture Setup This section explains the fixture characteristics you can set that determine how it can be controlled and will behave. You choose the settings using the menus available from the control panel, and they are retained even when the fixture is powered off. Options can also be set over the DMX line using RDM from a suitable controller, see “Setting options by RDM”...
Setting DMX address Each fixture must be assigned a DMX address. The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture is controlled using between 1 and 17 DMX channels depending on the personality set. If a fixture using 17 channels has a DMX address of 1, then it uses channels 1 to 17 inclusive.
Page 19
In 10-Channel and 17-Channel Modes these settings also determine the base color temperature of the fixture’s white light output. In these modes you can use color mixing on top of this color temperature. Dimming curves Four dimming modes are available: LINEAR The increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is increased.
Press ENTER to confirm. Display This option allows you to set some parameters for the display screen. Select DISPLAY from the PERSONALITY menu and press ENTER to confirm.

Press MENU to go back up and select a different function to control. Setting a sequence of scenes The SHOW menu allows the fixture to store up to 20 scenes internally and display them in a timed sequence. SET SCENE TOTALS sets how many scenes will be in the sequence, from 1 to 20. To store scenes, select EDIT SCENE COLOR and press ENTER.
Setting options by RDM You can remotely configure the fixture over the DMX line using a suitable RDM-compatible controller that is connected to the installation via a DMX data link. A full list of the RDM functions that the ELP fixture supports is given at the end of this chapter. These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’...
Effects This section describes the effects provided by the ELP CL IP fixture. See ‘DMX protocol’ on page 28 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects. In 17Ch DMX control mode, all intensity controls are 16-bit. In 10Ch mode all controls are 8-bit. Dimming Overall intensity can be precisely adjusted from 0 to 100% using 16-bit coarse and fine control.
Use of filters The color filter frame that is supplied with the lens tube lets you add color correction or diffusion filters to the front of the fixture. Push the filter retaining clip (see 1 in ‘Fixture overview’ on page 10) to one side to insert and remove filters.
Service and maintenance 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.
present, we recommend that you replace the valves with their rubber seals at each major service interval. If heavy dust or dirt is present and the fixture is powered on and off frequently you should monitor a potential need for valve replacement carefully. If any valve shows signs of contamination or is not in perfect condition, replace it immediately.
