This section describes in general terms how to mount the fixture and connect it to data and AC power. These procedures shall be performed by qualified professionals.
Unpacking
The Exterior 200 comes with the fol lo w i ng it ems:
• Philips CDM-SA/T 150 W discharge lamp (installed)
• User manual
Fastening method
Notice! It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the anchoring
method.
The Exterior 200 may be permanently fastened to any flat surface, pedestal, or other support that can safely bear the weight of all installed fixtures and hardware.
The mounting bracket provides 3 h oles for 12 mm (1/2 in.) hardware, spaced 100 mm on center, and 2 quarter-circle slots with a center radius of
26.5 mm for 8 mm (5/16 in.) hardware.
Installation 9
Consult a qualified engineer to determine a suitable an choring method. T he specific fastening hardware will depend on the installation. In genera l, use high quality metric grade 8.8 or better corrosion resistant screws such as zinc-plated steel, and self-locking nuts or lock-washers to secure the fixture.
Fixture orientation and location
When choosing a location for the fixture, consider that it has an ingress protection rating of 65. This means that the fixture is totally dust proof and that it is protected from water ingression to the level that moisture fro m low­pressure water jets from any direction cannot get into the product. However, the product is not designed to withstand:
• High-pressure water jets from any direction
• Immersion in water (or any other fluid) Do not bury the Exterior 200 or other wise locate it in an unventilated space.
Install the fixture in a location where it is
• at least 0.5 meters (20 inches) away from the surface to be illuminated,
• at least 1 meter away from any combustible materials, and
• away from accidental public contact. If the fixture points down, it must be installed with the power section over the
lamp section as shown so that water cannot collect between the lamp section and the power section.
When the fixture is located above the area to be illuminated, install with the power section on top.
10 Installation
Bracket adjustment
The mounting bracket can be positioned along the length of the power section and pivots +70/-210 degrees from the 6 o’clock position shown inside front cover.
This procedure requires 4 mm and 5 mm Allen wrenches (hex keys).
Warning! Allow the fixture to cool before handling.
To adjust the mounting bracket:
1 To adjust the bracket’s lateral position, remove the outer discs on each side
of the bracket. Loosen, but do not remove, the bracket screws. Slide the fixture to the desired position and retighten the bracket screws. Replace the outer discs.
2 To adjust the tilt angle, loosen the tilt-lock screws. Turn the fixture to the
desired angle and retighten the screws.

Mains connection
Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must
be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker, ground-fault protection, and a means to isolate the fixture from the mains during service or when not in use.
The fixture is supplied with a weatherproof power cable. However, note that if there is a breach or cut at any point along the power cable (for example at a connection point), and if this is exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cables due to the vacuum effect from the heat generated during operation. When installing the product outdoors, always ensure that the fixture is protected from water ingression from inside its power cable by:
• Protecting the connectors on the power cables in a weatherproof housing, or a weatherproof electrical junction box, or
• Using IP65 rated cord caps, or
Installation 13
• Replacing the supplied cable with one that connects directly inside the fixture.
The Exterior 200 is equipped with a 1.8-meter (5.9 ft.) length of 3-conductor
0.75 mm
2
(~18 AWG) weatherproof electrical cable for connection to the AC
power supply . The cable enters the fixture through a cable gland that fits 5.5
- 10 mm diameter cables. The cable attaches with 1/4” female spade plugs on the live and neutral wires and a ring terminal on the ground wire.
Replacing the mains lead
Other cable can be instal l e d as fo l lo w s.
1 Isolate the fixture from AC power. 2 Loosen both cable gland cap nuts and remove the power section cover.
Disconnect the existing mains cable and pull it through the cable gla nd.
3 Pass the new cable through the cable gland and connect the leads. The live
wire connects to PL3, the neutral wire connects to PL1, and the ground wire connects to the chassis screw terminal.
4 Draw up the slack in the AC a nd data cables and re place the power secti on
cover. Tighten the cable gland cap nuts well to seal against moisture.
Installing a cord cap on the mains lead
A non-IP-rated cord cap may be installed on the mains lead for testing, service, and temporary applications. For outdoor installations an IP65-rated cord cap can be used.
Following the cord cap manufacturer’s instructions, connect the yellow and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to neutral. Table 3 shows some pin identification schemes; consult an electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation.

Data link
A data link is required for DMX controller operation, and for synchronized stand-alone operation of multiple Exterior 200s.
Cable and junctions
The Exterior 200 provides a dual 1.8 meter (5.9 ft.) 24 AWG cable with locking 3-pin male and female XLR co nnectors for data connection. The male cable is the data input and the female cable is the data output. The connectors are wired pin 1 to shield (gnd.), pin 2 to signal - (cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot).
Use RS-485 data cable designed for outdoor use to extend the link. RS-485 cable has low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 ohms. It is electrically shielded and has at least 1 twisted-pair of conductors. The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm (1000 ft.) and 0.35 mm
Warning! The fixture is not supplied with a weatherproof XLR co n nec to rs .
If these connectors are exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cables due to the vacuum effect from the heat generated during operation. When installing the product outdoors, always ensure that the fixture is protected from water ingression from inside its data cable by:

(22 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft.).
2
(24 AWG) for runs up to 300 meters
• Protecting the connectors on the data cable in a weatherproof housing (or a weatherproof electrical junction box), or
• Using IP65 rated XLR cable and connectors (such as those produced by Neutrik), or
• Replacing the supplied cable with one that connects directly inside the fixture. This option requires a new cable gland, see “Cable glands” on page 59. The leads connect to the main circuit board as shown to right.

Splitter/Amplifiers
A device such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier may be used to branch the data link and/or extend its length. Do not use a “Y” connector to split the link.
Terminators
Termination of the data link is required for trouble-free communication. For temporary installations, this can be achieved with a male termination plug inserted into the data output cable of the last fixture in each chain. A termination plug is simply an XLR connector with a 120 ohm resistor soldered across pins 2 and 3.
For permanent terminations, the link can be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor across the hot and cold data terminals at the main circuit board inside the last fixture in each chain.
Building a data link
To build a data link:
1 Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. A male 5-pin to female
3-pin adaptor may be required. Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture and plug it into the male data cable.
2 Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the
next fixture. Continue in this manner. Up to 32 fixtures may be connected output to input.
3 Terminate the link as described abo ve, at the output of the last fixture in the
chain.

Fixture settings
This section describes how to set the control address, clock, and other fixture personalities. There are three ways to define fixture settings:
Multi-Utility Manager
Martin MP-2 Uploader
Multi-Utility Manager (MUM) is a PC software application supplied with a DABS1 USB-to-XLR communications adaptor. We recommend MUM because it provides an intuitive, easy-to-use, graphical user interface.
One limitation with MUM is that you can only connect to, and set-up, one fixture at a time.
See “Defining fixture settings using MUM” on page 18. This hardware uploader can be loaded with the Exterior
200’s control software and connected to the fixture or data link. (Please refer to the MP-2 Uploader user manual for details on how to do this).
When working with multiple fixtures an MP-2 allows you to apply settings globally to multiple fixtures on a data link.
The MP-2 provides a text-based interface and the fixtures do not provide feedback to the uploader. Therefore, the current settings of the fixture can only be “read” by observing the behavior of the fixture.
See “Defining fixture settings using an MP-2” on page
21.
Fixture settings 17
DMX Address Device
DMX Address Device (DAD) is a hardware device that can be used to set the DMX address of one Exterior 200 at a time.
If you need to set other fixture setting - such as the internal clock - then you will also need to use an MP-2 or MUM to completely set-up the fixture.
Refer to the DMX Address Device user manual for more information.
Defining fixture settings using MUM
Using the MUM you can connect to and set up one fixture at a time. Refer to the MUM user manual for instructions on installing and starting the MUM application.
PC
DABS1
Support for the MUM application is available from Version 2 of the Exterior 200 software.
To get started:
Exterior 200
1 Connect a DABS1 adaptor to your PC. 2 Connect the DABS1 adaptor to your Exterior 200. 3 Power on the Exterior 200 and start the MUM application. The application
will automatically detect an Exterior 200 if it is powered-on and connected to your computer via a DABS1 adaptor. It will also retrieve the current settings on the fixture and display them.
18 Fixture settings
Clock
The Exterior 200 has a battery operated 24-hour clock that can start and stop stand-alone operation.
To set the clock:
1 Using MUM, click on the Fixture information button:
2 Using the two Fixture time spin buttons set the fixture to the current time
(expressed in the 24-hour clock in hours and minutes). The time will be updated in the fixture in real-time.
Fixture settings 19
Fixture settings
To set the additional fixture settings, click on the Fixture settings button:
DMX address
The DMX address, also known as the control address, or start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. Each fixture needs its own control address set, and uses this address and subsequent control channels to receive instructions from a controller. The Exterior 200 uses seven control channels.
The control address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used. The Exterior 200 uses seven channels of control data. It reads the data on the start channel and the next six channels. If the control address is set to 100, the fixture uses channels 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106. Channel 107 would be the control address for the next fixture.
If two or more fixtures are set up with the same address, they will receive the same instructions and should behave identically. Setting up identical fixtures with the same address is a good tool for troubleshooting unexpected behavior and an easy way to achieve synchronized action.
To set the DMX address use the DMX Address spin button. The fixture address is updated in real time.
DMX Lamp Off
When the DMX Lamp-off personality is on (the default setti ng), lamp power can be turned off from the controller by setting channel 1 to a decimal value
20 Fixture settings
from 248 to 255. When set to off, the lamp-off command executes only if channels 3, 4, and 5 are set to values from 230 to 232.
DMX Reset
When the DMX Reset personality is on (the default setting), the fixture can be reset from the controller by setting channel 1 to a decimal value from 208 to 217. When set to off, the reset command executes only if channels 3, 4, and 5 are set to values from 230 to 232.
Automatic Lamp On
When the Automatic Lamp On personality i s on, the fixture turns on the lamp within 90 seconds of power on. When set to off (the default setting), a lamp-on command is required to turn on the lamp.
MC-X Lamp Off
By choosing the option MCX Preset 7 Key from the MCX Lamp off field you enable button 7 on an MC-X controller to be used to control the lamp off function.
Defining fixture settings using an MP-2
This hardware uploader can be loade d with the Exterior 200’s control software and connected to a fixture or data link. (Please refer to the MP-2 Uploader user manual for details on how to do this).
When working with multiple fixtures an MP-2 allows you to appl y settings globally to multiple fixtures on a data link.

MP-2
Fixture settings 21
The MP-2 provides a text-based interface and the fixtures do not provide feedback to the uploader. Therefore, the current settings of the fixture can only be “read” by observing the behavior of the fixture.
Modes
The uploader provides two ways to access fixtures: single-fixture mode and all-fixtures mode. In single-fixture mode, the uploader communicates only with the fixture at a designated address. In a ll-fixtures mode, the upload er communicates with all fixtures, of the same type, to which it is connected.
Fixture-specific settings such as the control address should be made in single-fixture mode. If no other fixtures are connected, however, then all­fixtures mode may be used. Global settings are made easiest in all-fixtures mode.
DMX address
The DMX address, also known as the control address, or start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. Each fixture needs its own control address set, and uses this address and subsequent control channels to receive instructions from a controller. The Exterior 200 uses seven control channels.
The control address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used. The Exterior 200 uses seven channels of control data. It reads the data on the start channel and the next six channels. If the control address is set to 100, the fixture uses channels 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106. Channel 107 would be the control address for the next fixture.
If two or more fixtures are set up with the same address, they will receive the same instructions and should behave identically. Setting up identical fixtures with the same address is a good tool for troubleshooting unexpected behavior and an easy way to achieve synchronized action.
Important! When setting the address, either use single-fixture mode or
isolate all other fixtures from the uploader.
To set the control address:
1 Prepare an upload device as described in the uploader user manua l. If you
know the address to which the fixture is currently set, that is, the address to change from, connect the uploader to the data link and use single-fixture mode. Otherwise, use all -fixtures mode and isolate all other fixtures from the uploader. Apply power to the fixture.
2 If using single-fixture mode, scroll to the fixture’s current (from) address and
press OK.

3 Select DMX address from the fixture menu. 4 Scroll to the desired control address and press OK. 5 Press OK again to confirm and save the setting.
Personality settings
The following settings are available to modify fixture behavior. DMX Lamp-off: When the DMX Lamp-off personality is on (the default
setting), lamp power can be turned off from the controller by setting channel 1 to a decimal value from 248 to 255. When set to off, the lamp-off command executes only if channels 3, 4, and 5 are set to values from 230 to
232. DMX reset: When the DMX Reset personality is on (the default setting), the
fixture can be reset from the controller by setting channel 1 to a decimal value from 208 to 217. When set to off, the reset command executes only if channels 3, 4, and 5 are set to values from 230 to 232.
Automatic Lamp-on: When the Automatic Lamp-on personality is on, the fixture turns on the lamp within 90 seconds of power on. When set to off (the default setting), a lamp-on command is required to turn on the lamp.
Clock
To set a personality setting:
1 Prepare and connect an upload device as described in the uplo ader user
manual. Apply power to the fixture.
2 Select single fixture mode to change a setting on a single fixture, or all-
fixtures mode to make global changes.
3 If using single-fixture mode, enter the fixture’s address. 4 Select 5 Select the desired personality and setting. (See “MP-2 control menu
structure” on page 66.) Press OK.
The Exterior 200 has a battery operated 24-hour clock that can start and stop stand-alone operation.
To set the clock:
Special from the fixture menu.
1 Prepare and connect an upload device as described in the MP2 Upload er
manual. Apply power to the fixture.
2 Select all-fixtures mode. 3 Select
Time from the fixture menu.
