This product presents risks of severe injury or death due to fire hazards,
electric shock and falls.

Read this manual before installing, powering or servicing the product,
follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings in
this manual and printed on the luminaire. Install and operate the
luminaire only as described in this manual and in accordance with local
laws and regulations. Refer any operation not described in this manual
to a qualified technician.

If you have questions about how to operate the luminaire safely, please
contact your Martin dealer or call the Martin 24-hour service hotline at
[phone], or in the USA on 1-888-tech-180.

PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Shut down power to the entire installation at the main power
distribution board and lock out power (by removing the fuse for
example) before carrying out any installation or maintenance work.

• Disconnect the luminaire from AC power before removing or installing
any cover or part and when not in use.

• System does not support hot swap. Turn off AC power before adding
any luminaire to the system.

• Connect the Easypix Power electrically to ground (earth).

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and

electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault)
protection.

• Before using the devices, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition, are rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices.

• Isolate all devices from power immediately if any cable, seal, cover or
other component is damaged, cracked or deformed. Do not reapply
power until repairs have been completed.

• The Easypix is for indoor use only.

• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to an

authorized Martin Service partner.

PROTECTION FROM BURNS

• Do not operate the devices if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds
40° C (104° F).

• The exterior of the luminaires and Easypix Power becomes hot, up to
65° C (149° F) during normal operation. Ensure that accidental
physical contact with the devices is impossible.

• Allow the luminaire to cool for 5 minutes before servicing.

• Keep combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least

20 cm (8 in.) away from the devices.

• Keep flammable materials well away from the devices.

• Do not modify the Easypix Power or luminaires in any way not

described in this manual or install other than genuine Martin parts.

• Use only Martin approved accessories to mask or modify the light
beam.

• Do not attempt to bypass fuses. Replace defective fuses with ones of
the specified type and rating only.

• Install the devices indoors in a well-ventilated area only. Provide a
minimum clearance of 5 cm (2 in.) and ensure unrestricted airflow
around the Easypix Power and the luminaires.

PROTECTION FROM INJURY

• Do not look at LEDs with a magnifying glass or any other optical
instrument that may concentrate the light output.

• Ensure that all external covers, components and installation fittings
are securely fastened.

• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform
whenever installing, servicing or moving the devices.

• Ensure that all supporting structures, surfaces, fasteners and lifting
equipment can bear the weight of all the devices they are intended to
support plus an adequate safety margin, and that they conform to
local building and safety regulations.

• Use a sufficient number of fasteners with sufficient corrosion
resistance, dimensions and strength to mount the DIN rail safely. Any
nuts used must be self-locking.

• If the Easypix Power or luminaires are to be installed in a location
where injury or damage may be caused if a device falls, use a
secondary means of attachment such as safety wires looped tightly
around the devices and anchored securely to the mounting structure
or in the mounting surface.

Physical installation

Warning! Read "Safety Information" on page 3 before installing
the devices.

The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation location,
anchoring method, mounting hardware and electrical installation
is the responsibility of the installer. All local safety regulations
and legal requirements must be observed when installing and
connecting the devices. Installation must be carried out by
qualified professionals only.

The Easypix luminaires must be clamped onto a DIN top-hat rail
that is securely anchored to a suitable flat surface. Ensure that the
supporting structure can bear the weight of all installed devices
plus an adequate safety margin.

Make sure that there will be at least 5 cm (2 in.) of free space and
unrestricted airflow around both the Easypix Power and the
Easypix luminaire.

Warning! Do not use the Easypix luminaire without the supplied
diffuser filter.

Contact your Martin supplier for assistance if you have any questions
about how to install this product safely.

Location and orientation

Easypix luminaires are for indoor installations with an IP rating of 20.
The Easypix Power is for indoor use only;

The devices require free and unobstructed airflow around them to
ensure adequate cooling:

• Do not bury the devices or locate them in an unventilated space

• Allow 5 cm (2 in.) free space around both the Easypix Power and the

Easypix luminaires

Install the Easypix Power and the Easypix luminaires at least 20 cm (8
in.) away from any combustible materials (wood, paper, etc.) and well
away from any flammable materials.

The housings of the Easypix luminaire and the Easypix Power reach
temperatures up to 65° C (149° F). Restrict public access or locate the
devices so that they cannot accidentally be touched.

12 Easypix user manual

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 42). Dimensions for the DIN rail supplied by
Martin are given in Figure 1.

Note that you cannot fasten the Easypix luminaire mounting clamps
directly over screws used to fasten DIN rail to the mounting surface. If a
DIN rail mounting screw is in the way of a mounting clamp, move it to
another slot in the DIN rail.

Note that you must install extra screws through the DIN rail into the
mounting surface to secure luminaires in vertical installations (see
“Mounting the Easypix luminaire vertically” on page 13).

Mounting the Easypix luminaire

Warning! The Easypix luminaire must be mounted on a top-hat
profile 35 mm (1.4 inch) DIN rail that is securely anchored to a
surface. The installation must conform to local electrical, building,
safety and fire regulations. If there is a danger that the luminaire
may cause injury or damage if it falls, use a means of secondary
attachment such as safety cables looped around the luminaire.

13

To mount the luminaire on a surface using 35 mm DIN rail:

1. Fasten the DIN rail securely to the mounting surface.

2. See Figure 2. The luminaire 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. Use a 2.5 mm Allen key to tighten the
mounting clamp screw (see B).

Figure 2: Mounting on DIN rail

Mounting the Easypix luminaire vertically

The mounting clamp screws will not hold the product securely on the
DIN rail if luminaire is installed vertically. You must therefore insert
screws in the mounting surface through the DIN rail mounting holes
(see Figure 3) so that the luminaire mounting clamps rest against these
screws and secure the luminaire.

14 Easypix user manual

Figure 3: Vertical mounting on DIN rail

Safety attachment

When installing the luminaire in an area where it could fall and cause
damage or injury, loop two safety cables or similar secondary
attachments that can hold ten times the weight they secure tightly
around each luminaire and fasten each safety attachment to a separate
anchoring point in the mounting surface itself, not the DIN rail.

Adjusting tilt angle

The Easypix luminaire can be tilted through 95°.

Figure 4: Tilt angle

To adjust the tilt angle:

1. See Figure 5. Turn the locking knob clockwise until it releases the
luminaire profile.

2. Adjust the luminaire to the desired tilt angle
