Page 9: Setting Up The Exterior Dot-Hp Pro
Setting up using RDM If you are connected to Exterior Dot-HP Pro Dots via an Ethernet link, you can set up the Dots from a PC using any RDM-compatible controller via Art-Net. It is possible to use sACN to control Dots, but for setup you need to use RDM via Art-Net.

1. Check that the Dots are correctly connected to the RDM controller on the data link and that power is applied to all Dots. 2. Send a discovery command via RDM (Martin Companion does this automatically as soon as the cable is connected).
Page 12: Setting Up For Dmx Control
FX that run on complete Dots or on individual pixels. Setting DMX mode The Exterior Dot-HP Pro can be set to any of the following five DMX modes (see “DMX protocols” on page 23): • In Standard Mode, each Dot is controlled as one unit and uses six DMX channels.
Page 13: Dimming Curves
The POWER_LIMIT_MODE command lets you set Dots to full or half power via RDM. You can also set Dots to full or half power by moving a physical switch inside Martin P3 PowerPort 500 IP, P3 PowerPort 2000 IP and Exterior AC-Feeder devices as well as by adjusting Dot settings in Martin P3 System Controllers.
Page 14: Color Modes
Color modes The Exterior Dot-HP Pro has four color modes: Direct, Extended Gamut, Calibrated Color and Linear Video. When a Dot is set to Direct DMX control mode, it is fixed in Direct Color Mode – you cannot select a calibrated color mode.
Page 15: Status Messages
Status messages The Exterior Dot-HP Pro features a self-diagnostic system that detects any issues concerning correct operation or safety (temperature that exceeds safe level, for example) and communicates the issues as status messages or warnings. These messages can be useful in connection with service and maintenance.
Page 16: Setting Up Standalone Operation
Setting up standalone operation In standalone mode, the Exterior Dot-HP Pro can display a ‘scene’ (a color, an intensity or a dynamic FX etc.) or a ‘show’ that can contain up to twenty scenes if you use Martin Companion. Once standalone scenes have been programmed, Dots can display them without needing a control signal.
Page 17 2. Select the Dot or Dots that you want to program in the Standalone section: 3. Click on CREATE and create the first scene using the control faders. Click on ADD SCENE and continue creating scenes until your show is complete: ® Martin Exterior Dot-Pro HP User Manual Rev. A...

Page 20 Note that Martin Companion automatically assigns one Dot as the standalone host, and all the others as clients. The host fixture only tells the client Dots to “go to scene X with fade time Y”. The lighting effect that each Dot uses in a specific scene is stored inside each Dot individually.

Page 47 Wear protective glasses when working on or near the device. Protection from injury Fasten the Exterior Dot-HP Pro securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use. The device is not portable when installed. To reduce the risk of strangulation, all flexible wiring connected to the device shall be effectively fixed to the installation surface or structure if the wiring is within arm's reach.
Page 48: Precautions To Avoid Damage
Maintaining IP67 protection The Exterior Dot-HP Pro is supplied as a sealed unit. Do not try to disassemble the product in any other way, or you will affect the product’s IP67-rated weatherproofing. This may cause the product to malfunction and lead to damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
Page 49 • Any water that reaches the base of an Exterior Dot-HP Pro device will normally drain away, so there is normally no risk of water forming a pool on a vent. However, do not install a device in any way that prevents rainwater, condensation etc.
Page 50: Introduction
Devices are supplied with a clear front or diffuser dome installed. Before installing, operating or servicing an Exterior Dot-HP Pro device, please check the Exterior Dot- HP Pro area of the Martin website at www.martin.com and make sure that you have the latest user documentation for the device.
Page 51: Physical Installation
Location Exterior Dot-HP Pro devices are intended for temporary or permanent indoor and outdoor use. With an IP67 rating, they are protected against dust, humidity and water and are able to withstand powerful water jets, but they are not submersible. Do not submerge the device and do not install it in a location where water can build up around the device or under the base of the device.
Page 52 Mounting directly on a surface To fasten an Exterior Dot-HP Pro device directly to a flat surface where you have access to the rear of the surface: 1. See illustrations above. Pre-drill holes for the cables and fasteners, taking the dimensions from the drawing above.
Page 53 Use screw plugs if necessary for a secure installation. 4. Fasten each mounting profile D securely to the surface or structure using two fasteners per profile. 5. If you are going to install the Exterior Dot-HP Pro device now, apply a small quantity of Loctite 243 to...
Page 54 To install Exterior Dot-HP Pro devices on a surface using the 320 mm and 1280 mm lengths of mounting profile available from Martin, follow the directions given above for 57 mm profiles, but note the following: • You can cut profile to custom lengths with a hacksaw or angle grinder. After cutting, remove burrs and sharp edges (with a metal file, for example).
Page 55: System Installation
5. There are two options for connecting a chain of Exterior Dot-HP Pro devices to 48 volt DC power and data.
Page 56 - the output of a third-party 48 volt DC external PSU with a suitable current rating. You can then take data from a Martin P3 System Controller and add the data together with the 48 volt DC power to the Exterior Dot-HP Pro hybrid link using a suitable Input Adapter cable available as an accessory from Martin.
Page 57: Testing
