• This user manual
Using for the first time
Before applying power to the fixture:
• Carefully review “Safety Information” on page 3.
• Check that the local AC power voltage is within the range listed on the fixture’s serial number label.
• Install optical components as described in “Installing color filters and gobos” on page 7.
• Install the fixture as described in this manual.
Installing color filters and gobos 7
Installing color filters and gobos
Warning! Read the “Safety Information” section starting on page 3 before installing, powering,
operating or servicing the Exterior 400 Image Projector.
Since many customers prefer to choose color filters and gobos themselves or use custom-made items, the
Exterior 400 Image Projector is supplied without filters and gobos. A range of dichroic color filters and gobos
for the Exterior 400 Image Projector is available from Martin and can be ordered separately. If you wish to
use custom-made optical components, please consult your Martin supplier. Custom-made components
must meet the same specifications as Martin items, or their use will invalidate the product warranty.
It is easiest to install filters and gobos before the fixture is physically installed. To install color filters and
gobos, you must remove the front cover and effects module for access.
Filter and gobo care
Important! Filters and gobos are sensitive components that are exposed to extreme cond itions.
Avoid contaminating them with dirt and grease, especially from your fingers, and follow these
precautions:
1. Use clean, dry, lint-free gloves when handling optical parts such as filters and gobos.
2. To give maximum protection from heat, install optical components with the shiny side facing the light
source and the darker side facing away from the light source.
3. Protect optical parts from scratches. Avoid touching components together: the sharp edge of one item
can scratch another.
4. Do not place an optical components with its coated side face-down on any surface.
5. If cleaning is necessary, use cotton swabs or lens cleaning tissues moistened with 99% isopropyl
alcohol or photographic quality lens cleaning fluid. Do not use standard domestic tissues, as these can
cause micro-scratches and dust. Wipe surfaces gently with a slow circular motion from center to edge.
Remove any stuck particles with a cotton swab moistened with lens cleaner or distilled water. Do not rub
the surface: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Rinse off any residues with distilled water, then
dry components with low-pressure compressed air or a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
6. Store all optical components in a dust-free environment with approx. 50% humidity.

Access to the effects module
To access the effects module:
1. Make sure that power cannot be applied to the fixture during installation work. If the fixture has been in
use, allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
2. Tilt the fixture back and rest it on a piece of cloth, for example, so that it is held securely and the front
cover is facing upwards.
3. See Figure 1. Remove the eight Allen screws A that hold the front cover B, then remove the front cover
B and front cover seal C from the fixture housing F.
4. Using a T-bar or long Allen key, reach down into the housing and remove the four effects module
retaining screws D.
5. Lift the effects module up carefully. It is connected to the rest of the fixture by three multi-connectors.
Each connector has a different number of pins, so it is impossible to get them mixed up. Disconnect the
multi-connectors, then lift the effects module out of the fixture and place the module gently on a clean,
flat surface. You can now install color filters and rotating gobos.

Installing color filters and gobos 9
Installing color filters
To install a filter in the Exterior 400 Image Projector effects module:
1. See Figure 2. Refer to the diagram for filter position numbers. The color wheel is shown from the rear
(the side facing the back of the effects module, away from the front cover). It will help you identify filter
positions if you note the position of the small magnet A on the color wheel opposite the open slot.
2. If a filter has already been installed, push it away from the color wheel towards the gobo wheel slightly to
release it, then grasp it by the edges and remove it. If your fingers are too large, protect the glass with a
piece of paper that has been folded several times and grasp the filter with needle-nose pliers.
3. To install a filter, push the filter B in between the color wheel C and the gobo wheel D and slide it under
the retention spring in the color wheel until it snaps into place on the color wheel and the raised lug E in
the filterholder engages in its cutout F.

Installing gobos
Most gobos must be installed facing in a certain direction in order to avoid heat damage. Follow the gobo
orientation guidelines given in Figure 3. Consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier if you are in any doubt
about the orientation of a specific gobo type.
Coated Glass Gobos
Focus is easiest to maintain if all coated gobos in a fixture are installed with their coatings
as close as possible to the same plane of focus. However, the first priority is normally to
ensure that the more reflective side faces towards the LEDs.
More reflective side towards LEDs
To minimize the risk of gobo overheating
and damage, turn the more reflective side of
a coated gobo towards the LEDs.
Less reflective side away from LEDs
The less reflective side of a coated gobo will
absorb less heat if it faces away from the
LEDs.
To determine which side of a gobo is
coated, hold an object up to it. On the
uncoated side, there is a space between the
object and its reflection and the edge of the
gobo can be seen when looking through the
glass.
Textured Glass Gobos
Smooth side towards LEDs Textured side away from LEDs
Textured glass gobos in the Exterior 400 Image Projector give the best focus results with
the smooth side towards the LEDs. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier.
Metal Gobos
Reflective side towards LEDs Black side away from LEDs
Image / text Gobos
True image towards LEDs
Reversed image away from LEDs
Custom gobos must be designed so that the true image appears on the more reflective side
so that it faces the LEDs when installed.

Gobo installation
Wear clean, lint-free cotton gloves while handling optical parts.
To install a rotating gobo in the Exterior 400 Image Projector effects module:
1. See Figure 4. Refer to the diagram for gobo position numbers. The gobo wheel is shown from the front
(the side facing the front of the effects module, towards the front cover). It will help you identify gobo
positions if you note the position of the small magnet A on the gobo wheel opposite the open slot. Rotate
the gobo wheel if necessary for access to the different gobo positions.
2. If a gobo has already been installed, lift it away from the gobo wheel slightly to release it from its cutout
in the gobo wheel, then hold it by the edges and slide it outwards.
3. To insert a gobo, slide the goboholder B onto the gobo wheel C, working it in so that the gobo retaining
clips D engage in the slot around the edge of the goboholder. If necessary, lever the clips away from the
wheel slightly with a small screwdriver or similar tool. Push the goboholder in until it snaps into place in
its cutout in the gobo wheel.
Replacing gobos in goboholders
Gobos in rotating goboholders are interchangeable and can be replaced
with gobos either supplied or specifically approved by Martin.
See Figure 5. Gobos are held in rotating holders by a retention spring.
Note that the retention spring can only be used with gobos maximum 3
mm thick. Thicker gobos can be glued to the holder with a UV adhesive or
Loctite 330 Multibond with Activator.
Important! A gobo can fall out of its holder if the spring is inserted the wrong
way round.
To replace a gobo:
1. Put on clean, lint-free gloves to protect your fingers and to avoid
contaminating optical components with grease and dirt.
2. Remove the goboholder from the gobo wheel as described in the
previous section.
3. With a small screwdriver or similar, unhook the end of the gobo spring
furthest from the gobo and pull out the spring. Drop the gobo out of the
holder.

4. With reference to Figure 3 on page 10, insert the new gobo in the holder with the side that must face
towards the LEDs facing upwards, towards the spring.
5. Insert the spring with the narrow end against the gobo, as shown in Figure 5. To identify the narrow end,
press the spring flat: the narrow end is on the inside. Push the end of the spring in under the lip of the
holder.
6. Check that the gobo is seated flush against the holder. Press the spring as flat as possible against the
back of the gobo.
7. Install the goboholder in the gobo wheel as described in the previous section.
Reinstallation after accessing the effects module
To reinstall the effects module and front cover:
1. Lower the effects module into position in the housing. Note the number of pins in the multi-connectors to
the module and reconnect them.
2. See Figure 1 on page 8. Using a T-bar or long Allen key, reinstall the four effects module retaining
screws D.
3. Check the front cover seal C. If it is not in perfect condition, it must be replaced with a new item from
Martin™ to maintain the fixture’s IP65 rating.
4. Place the front cover B with its seal C in position on the front of the fixture housing F and insert the eight
Allen screws A. Tighten the screws until they are finger-tight only.
5. Using a torque driver, cross-tighten the screws gradually – tightening all screws opposite each other,
working around the cover in at least three stages – to a torque of 8 Nm (5.9 ft.-lbs.). Do not over-tighten,
or the front glass may break.
6. You can now either apply power or proceed with physical installation.

• Do not bury the fixture or locate it in an unventilated space
• Allow at least 0.1 m (4 in.) free space around the fixture
Install the fixture at least 0.5 m (20 in.)away from any combustible materials (wood, paper, etc.) and well
away from any flammable materials.
The aluminum housing reaches temperatures up to 65° C (149° F). Restrict public access or locate the
fixture so that it cannot accidentally be touched.
Fastening to a surface
Warning! All fasteners used to mount the Exterior 400 Image Projector must be corrosion-resistant
and strong enough to mount the fixture safely. The washers supplied with the fixture must be
installed directly under the fasteners’ heads when anchoring the yoke base to the installatio n
surface.
The yoke must be fastened to the installation surface using minimum three fasteners. If there is a
danger that the fixture may cause injury or damage if it falls, a securely anchored safety cable that is
approved for the weight of the fixture must be looped through one of the holes in the yoke base
marked A, B or C in Figure 6 on page 14.
The mounting yoke allows the fixture to be manually panned (i.e. rotated horizontally) and tilted for beam
aiming adjustment.
The mounting yoke base must be safely anchored to a horizontal surface. The number and type of
fasteners used will depend on the installation, but use at least three high-strength corrosion-resistant
14 Exterior 400 Image Projector user manual
fasteners (recommended minimum properties: stainless steel A4-70 grade according to ISO 3506 or steel
grade 8.8 according to ISO 898-1). Any nuts used must be self-locking. Washers must be installed between
the head of each fastener and the yoke base. Suitable washers are supplied with the fixture.
See Figure 6. To mount the fixture:
1. Attach a safety cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture to a secure anchoring point such as an
eyebolt in the installation surface and loop it through one of the holes in the yoke base shown as A, B or
C in Figure 6.
2. Fasten the yoke base to the mounting surface using a 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter bolt with a
washer in the center hole A.
3. Then either use two bolts with 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter and washers passing through holes B or
use two bolts with 8 mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter and washers passing through slots C to secure the
fixture. Installing bolts through slots C will give approximately 90° of pan adjustment.
If additional bolts are required to mount the fixture safely, install bolts through holes B and slots C.
Tilt adjustment
Tilt-lock screws at either side of the mounting yoke allow adjustment of vertical beam aiming. It is possible
to slide the fixture in the yoke once the tilt-lock screws are loosened. This allows some extra clearance and
adjustment.
Important! Do not slide the fixture in the yoke so far that the yoke comes into contact with one of the silicone
seals between the aluminum elements in the housing, as this may make it impossible to achieve a
waterproof seal.
Tilt adjustment can be carried out with the fixture powered on. To adjust the tilt:
1. Put on heat-resistant gloves if the fixture is or has recently been powered on.
2. See Figure 7. Loosen, but do not remove, the tilt-lock screws.
3. Tilt the fixture to the desired angle and slide it backwards or forwards in the yoke until its weight is
evenly distributed.
