Read this manual before powering or installing the fixture, follow the safety precautions listed below and observe
all warnings in this manual and printed on the fixture. If you have questions about how to operate the fixture safely,
please contact your Martin dealer or call the Martin 24-hour service hotline for assistance.
• ALWAYS disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the lamp, fuses, or any part; and when
not in use.
• Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before replacing the lamp.
• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.3 meters (12 inches) away from the fixture.
Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.
• For protection against dangerous electric shock, always ground (earth) the fixture electrically. Use only a source of AC
power that complies with local building and electrical codes. Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.
• Ensure that the air flow through fans and vents is free and unobstructed.
• When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all
installed devices and secure the fixture with an approved safety cable. Block access below the work area whenever
installing or removing the fixture.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 0.3 meters (12 inches) of the fixture.
• Never place filters or other materials over the lens.
• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
• Replace the lamp as soon as it becomes defective or worn out, or before usage exceeds the maximum service life.
• Do not stare directly into the light.
• Never operate the fixture without all lenses and covers installed: an unshielded lamp can explode without warning and
emits dangerous UV radiation that can cause burns and eye damage.
• Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin accessories and upgrade kits.
