Ac Power; Power Voltage; Power Cables And Power Plug - Martin MAC 101 User Manual

AC power

Warning! Read "Safety Information" starting on page 3 before connecting the MAC 101 to AC mains
power.
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the MAC 101 must be grounded (earthed). The power
distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault)
protection.
Warning! The MAC 101 does not have a power on/off switch. Socket outlets or external power
switches used to supply the MAC 101 with power must be located near the fixture and easily
accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.
Warning! Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to apply or cut power, as this
may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the connectors.
Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the MAC 101, as this may
cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The MAC 101 can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a
power plug can be installed on the power cable in the case of temporary installation.

Power voltage

Warning! Check that the voltage range specified on the fixture's serial number label
matches the local AC mains power voltage before applying power to the fixture.
MAC 101 fixtures accept AC mains power at 100-240 V nominal, 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power to
the fixture at any other voltage than that specified on the fixture's serial number label.

Power cables and power plug

Power input and power throughput cables must have three AWG 14 or 2.5 mm
total cable diameter of 5 - 15 mm (0.2 - 0.6 in.). The cable jacket must be SJT type or better and
heat-resistant to 90° C (194° F) minimum. A power cable and power input connector are not supplied with
the product but can be ordered separately from Martin (see Accessories on page 28).
Power is supplied to the fixture via a blue Neutrik PowerCon inlet that accepts a blue PowerCon NAC3FCA
cable connector. Power can be relayed to another device via the light-grey PowerCon outlet that accepts a
light-grey PowerCon NAC3FCB cable connector. Note that blue input and light-grey output connectors have
different designs: one type cannot be connected to the other. Neutrik power connectors are not supplied
with the product but can be ordered separately from Martin (see Accessories on page 28).
If you decide to install a power plug on the fixture's power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that
is rated 20 A minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer's instructions. Table 1 shows standard wire
color-coding schemes and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if
you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
