    Mounting DIN rail The Easypix luminaire is designed for mounting on standard 35 mm top-hat DIN rail. Figure 1: Martin DIN rail dimensions (in mm) Corrosion-resistant DIN rail can be ordered from Martin (see “Accessories” on page 41). Dimensions for the DIN rail supplied by Martin are given in Figure 1.

    Warning! Do not exceed the maximum permitted number of luminaires connected to one Easypix Power unit, i.e. 24 Easypix 300 luminaires or 6 Easypix 1200 luminaires or any mixture of Easypix 300 and Easypix 1200 luminaires that is maximum 7.2 meters in length.

  • Page 17: Ac Power

    Important! Do not connect the Easypix system to an electrical dimmer system. Doing so can damage the electronics. The Easypix lighting system is supplied with AC power via the Easypix Power. If you require help in planning or dimensioning the power distribution system, please contact your Martin supplier for assistance.

  • Page 18: Connecting To Power

    Connecting to power The Easypix Power is supplied with an IEC power cable ready for connection to a single-phase 3-wire (live, neutral, ground/earth) power distribution system at 100-120/200-240 VAC nominal, 50/60 Hz. Details of standard US and EU conductor identification systems are given in Table 1.

  • Page 19: Control Data Link

    Control data link The Easypix Power must be connected via a control data link for DMX controller or synchronized (master/slave) operation. The following considerations must be taken into account when planning the data link: • Use RS-485 data cable for the data link. RS-485 cable has low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 Ohms.
  • Page 20 XLR 5-pin connection Many DMX lighting controllers have XLR 5-pin output connectors. To connect these to the RJ-45 connectors on the Easypix Power, use an XLR 5-pin to RJ-45 adapter, (available from Martin, P/N 11840111). If you need to rewire XLR connectors, pin numbers are normally marked on connectors.
  • Page 21 (see under ‘Accessories’ on page 41). The maximum permitted power/data cable length from the Easypix Power to the last Easypix luminaire on the custom cable link is 100 m (328 ft.). Important! The Easypix luminaire cable has identical connectors to the cable used in Martin Tripix™...
