Page 9: Physical Installation
Installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only. Tripix 300 and 1200 fixtures must be clamped onto a 35 mm DIN top-hat rail that is securely anchored to a suitable flat surface. Tripix Wash fixtures have an integral mounting bracket that must be bolted or screwed to a flat surface. -
Page 10: Mounting
Tripix 300 and 1200 fixtures are designed for mounting on standard 35 mm top-hat DIN rail. You can use standard lengths of 35 mm DIN Rail or use Martin Short 35 mm DIN rail supplied in 72 mm (2.8 in.) lengths (P/N 23819560). - Page 11 To mount a Tripix 300 or 1200 fixture on a surface using 35 mm DIN rail: Fasten the DIN rail securely to the mounting surface. See Figure 2. The fixture mounting bracket has a hooked profile on one side (see A). Hook this profile over the top of the DIN rail and swing the bracket down.
- Page 12 Figure 3: Vertical mounting on DIN rail Adjusting the Tripix 300/1200 tilt angle The Tripix 300/1200 can be tilted through 105° (see Figure 4). Figure 4: Tilt angle To adjust the tilt angle: See Figure 5. Turn the locking knob (arrowed) clockwise until it releases the fixture profile.
- Page 13 Lock Unlock Figure 5: Releasing and tightening the tilt lock Mounting the Tripix Wash To mount the fixture on a surface: Mark up the mounting surface for screws or bolts (you can hold the fixture up to the mounting surface temporarily as a guide). Drill suitable holes in the mounting surface and use screw anchors if necessary.
- Page 14 safety cable attached to a secure anchoring point in the mounting surface. Adjusting the Tripix Wash tilt angle Figure 7: Tripix Wash tilt lock bolts The Tripix Wash can be tilted through 163°. To adjust the tilt angle: See Figure 7. Use two 6 mm Allen keys to loosen the tilt lock bolts. Adjust the fixture to the desired tilt angle (see Figure 8).
- Page 15 Adjusting the Tripix Wash pan angle Figure 9: Adjusting Tripix Wash pan angle The Tripix Wash pan angle can be adjusted through approximately 90°. To adjust the pan angle: See Figure 9. Loosen the four screws or bolts in the base of the bracket.

Page 16: Ac Power
Doing so can damage the electronics. If you require help in planning or dimensioning the power distribution system, please contact your Martin supplier for assistance. The Tripix Power and Tripix Power IP66 must be connected to a single- phase 3-wire (live, neutral, ground/earth) power distribution system at 100-240 VAC nominal, 50/60 Hz. - Page 17 exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cable due to the vacuum effect of temperature fluctuations during operation. Power plug The Tripix Power and Tripix Power IP66 can be hard-wired to a building’s AC mains electrical installation, but if you decide to fit the power cable with a plug that is suitable for your AC mains power outlets, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug following the plug manufacturer’s instructions.
- Page 18 Installing the Tripix Power IP66 power input cable Unfasten all the screws on the input side cover and lift the cover away from the housing as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10: Tripix IP66 power input connections Pass the power input cable through the cable gland. Connect the power cable conductors to the power terminals inside the cover using Table 1 and the markings on the terminals as a guide.

See Figure 32. The Tripix displays voltage readouts for 48V and 5V components as well as temperature readouts for LEDs and the main PCB in the Monitor window: Figure 32: Monitor window Testing See Figure 33. The LED Test window in MUM gives a quick method of testing LED output at 100% intensity without a DMX controller. - Page 44 Tripix 300, 1200 and Wash fixtures are supplied with a narrow beam angle diffuser installed. The diffuser softens the output from the LEDs and alters the beam angle.
