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

AC power

Warning! Read "Safety Information" starting on page 3 before connecting the MAC Aura XB to AC
mains power.
Warning! Before you connect any device to the MAINS OUT socket, see "Linking fixtures to power in
a chain" on page 10.
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the MAC Aura XB must be grounded (earthed). The
power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault
(earth-fault) protection.
Warning! Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the MAC Aura XB with power
must be located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be
disconnected from power.
Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the MAC Aura XB, as this may
cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.

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.
The MAC Aura XB has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power at 100V~240V,
50/60Hz. Do not apply AC mains power at any other voltage or frequency to the fixture.

Power cables and power plug

The MAC Aura XB requires a power input cable that must be ordered separately. The power input cable
must have a Neutrik PowerCON True1 NAC3FX-W cable connector for AC mains power input. The cable
must meet the requirements listed under "Protection from electric shock" on page 3.
Martin™ can supply either suitable 3 m (9.8 ft.) power cables with PowerCON True1 input connectors
installed or PowerCON True1 connectors without cables (see "Accessories" on page 35).
If you need to install a PowerCON True1 connector on a power cable, see the instructions from Neutrik that
are reproduced at the end of this manual.
The MAC Aura XB can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently,
or a power plug that is suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug with an integral cable
grip that is rated 250 V, 16 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.
