PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Isolate the entire system from AC mains power and make sure that
power cannot be applied during work on the system.
• Use only a single-phase, three-wire AC mains power source that
complies with local building and electrical codes, that has both overload
and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection, and that is within the voltage
and frequency range specified on the serial number label on the PSU.
8 Martin Professional™ Exterior 50 & 100™ system user manual
• Ensure that the system is electrically connected to ground (earth) as
described in this guide.
• Either power outlet sockets or hard-wired circuits that incorporate power
on/off switches must be used to supply the system with power. Power
plugs and/or power on/off switches must be easily accessible so that
the system can be isolated from power quickly.
• Provide a means of locking out power (ensure that power can be shut
down and is impossible to reapply, even accidentally) during service.
• Connect the PSU to AC mains power and relay power from one PSU to
another using only 3-conductor neoprene- or hypalon-jacket cable that
is heat resistant to minimum 90° C (194° F), rated minimum 16 amps,
approved for the installation environment (UV, temperature, outdoor
use, etc.) and has an external diameter of 6 12 mm (0.24 0.47 inch).
In North America the power cable must be type SJO or type SOOW,
minimum 16/3 AWG and rated minimum 300 VAC. In the EU the cable
must be minimum 2.5 mm² conductor size and HAR approved or
equivalent.
• Use only hybrid (combined power and data) luminaire cables installed
in Luminaires by Martin™ or its authorized agents to connect
Luminaires. If the 3 m (9.8 ft.) luminaire cable supplied pre-installed is
too short, extend it only with the extension cable kit available from
Martin™.
• Use only the hybrid (combined power and data) Splitter cables supplied
by Martin for the products concerned to connect a PSU to Splitters and
to connect Splitters to each other.
• Do not connect the system to power unless all cable glands are sealed
by either a cable or a blanking plug installed as described in this guide.
• Before using the system, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition, rated for the current requirements of
all connected devices, protected to IP68 or higher and of suitable type
for the location (including water, pollution, temperature and UV
resistance).
• Protect all external connections inside suitable waterproof junction
boxes or as required by local laws, regulations or codes. Ensure that
the ends of cables cannot come into contact with water or moisture, as
the vacuum created in devices during cooldowns can suck moisture up
cable.
• Isolate the system from power immediately if any device, cable, cable
gland or power plug is in any way damaged or defective, or if there are
any signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until the fault has been
rectified.
• Do not operate the system if any cover or component is missing,
damaged or deformed.
• Shut down power to the system when it is not in use.
Safety information 9
• Refer any service operation not described in this guide to an authorized
Martin Service partner.
SYSTEM SAFETY LIMITS

12 Martin Professional™ Exterior 50 & 100™ system user manual
General information
Before you start installing the Exterior 50 & 100 system:
• Read the ”Safety information” section starting on page 8 carefully.
• Read this ”General information” section carefully to familiarize yourself
with system layout principles and installation procedure.
• Check that you have all the components you will need, including hybrid
cable for Splitters and PSUs that can be ordered from Martin™.
• Check that the local AC mains power voltage is within the range shown
on the PSU’s serial number label.
• Make sure that you have a plan of the installation.
Components in the system
The Exterior 50 & 100 system includes four types of device:
• The Exterior 50™, an IP68-rated LED washlight Luminaire.
• The Exterior 100™, an IP68-rated LED washlight Luminaire.
• The Exterior 50 & 100 PSU, a Power Supply Unit in an IPX7-rated
housing that supplies the Exterior 50 & 100 system with 30 VDC power.
The PSU also relays DMX and RDM (Remote Device Management)
data from a controller console or PC running controller software to the
system.
• The Exterior 50 & 100 Splitter, a power/data splitter device housed in an
IP65-rated junction box. The junction box can be waterproofed to IP68
by applying a sealing compound available from Martin™. Splitters relay
30 VDC power as well as DMX and RDM data to Luminaires and other
Splitters.
All luminaires are available in RGBW, CW (cool white), NW (neutral white)
and WW (warm white) options. The Exterior 100 is available in narrow
and medium-angle options.
Hybrid (power and data) cable from Martin™ must be used to connect
PSUs and Splitters. Hybrid cable is ordered separately.
A range of accessories for the system is available from Martin™ (see
”Accessories” on page 79).
System power: general
The system is powered by connecting the Exterior 50 & 100 PSU to AC
mains power.
General information 13
System control: general
The Exterior 50 & 100 system can be:
• controlled using a DMX control device or PC application,
• set up and controlled using a PC running the Martin M-PC™ RDMcompliant Windows application via a Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX
interface box, or
• set up and programmed to display a single default scene using the
infrared remote control unit available as an accessory from Martin™.
Data link
The DMX (and RDM if used) data signal from a DMX controller or PC must
be sent to the PSU via a data link that conforms to DMX512-A
specifications.
• Use DMX cable for the data link (microphone cable does not have the
correct impedance).
• You must normally create the data link from the control device to the
PSU as one single daisy chain (i.e. you must not split the data link into a
‘Y’), but you can split the DMX data link into up to five branches if you
use an amplifier/splitter such as the optically isolated Martin DMX 5.3
Splitter (P/N 90758140) or Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter (P/N 90758150)
installed in a dry location.
• You must connect only one PSU directly to the DMX OUT data
throughput in a PSU (but you can connect one daisy chain of PSUs in
which each PSU is connected to the previous PSU’s s DMX OUT data
throughput).
• You must connect only one Splitter or one Luminaire directly to one
OUTPUT hybrid output in a PSU (but you can connect one daisy chain
of Splitters and Luminaires).
• Do not connect more than one Splitter (or one Luminaire) to the threeway data output quick-lock terminal block marked GND, DMX-, DMX+
and two-way 30 VDC output screw terminals marked +U and -U in a
Splitter.
• Do not connect more than one Luminaire to the four-way hybrid output
quick-lock terminal block marked DMX-, DMX+, +U, -U from a Splitter.
Two simple rules are:
• You can split the data link before a PSU using an amplifier/splitter
device, as stated above, but do not split the hybrid power and data
cable link after the PSU into a ‘Y’.
• Do not connect more than one device or more than one daisy chain to
one output from another device, because this will split the link into a ‘Y’.
14 Martin Professional™ Exterior 50 & 100™ system user manual
In the Exterior 50 & 100 system, the data signal can be relayed from the
PSU to either:
• two Luminaires directly via their hybrid (power and data) luminaire
cables (see Figure 2 on page 18)
• a chain of Exterior 50 & 100 Splitters via hybrid Splitter cables and then
sent to Luminaires via their luminaire cables (see Figure 3 on page 19)
• other PSUs by continuing the DMX link using DMX cable (see Figure 4
on page 21).
Exterior 50 & 100 PSUs and Splitters do not amplify or process the data
signal when they relay it.
If you are in any doubt about how to install, set up or use DMX with the
Exterior 50 & 100 system, your Martin supplier will be happy to provide
guidance.
Data link DMX termination
Each time you end a data link to a PSU, a single Splitter or a daisy-chain
of Splitters (i.e. you do not continue that link to another PSU or Splitter),
you must terminate the data link by connecting a DMX line terminator
across the data +ve (hot) and -ve (cold) conductors in the last PSU or
Splitter on the link to absorb reflections that can disturb the data signal.
Enough DMX terminators for all possible configurations are supplied with
PSUs and Splitters.

serviced only by Martin™ and its authorized service agents.
Consult Martin™ if you have any doubts about the suitability and/or
safety of an installation.
See the system layout diagrams in the ”General information” section
starting on page 13 for an overview of how PSUs, Splitters and Luminaires
are linked. Note the following:
• Splitters can be used to link Luminaires to a PSU until the maximum
safe number of Luminaires per PSU output or per PSU is reached (see
”System layout limits” on page 16).
• The hybrid Splitter cables and luminaire cables used for internal system
connections carry both 30 VDC power and control data:
- Links from PSUs to Splitters, and links between Splitters, must use
the hybrid Splitter cable available from Martin™ in various lengths
(see ”Accessories” on page 79).
- Links to Luminaires must use the hybrid luminaire cable that is
supplied pre-installed in Luminaires. A 3 m (9.8 ft.) length is supplied.
If this is not long enough, please consult your Martin™ supplier for
assistance. Custom lengths up to a maximum safe limit of 13 m
(42.6 ft.) are available. Luminaire cables must be installed by Martin™
or its authorized agents.

Installing a cable in a cable gland
All cable entries and exits in the Exterior 50 & 100 system use IP68 cable
glands to ensure that system components are sealed against water and
dust. When you install cable in PSUs and Splitters, you must follow the
instructions in this section carefully to ensure a correct seal.

To install a cable in a cable gland in a device in the Exterior 50 & 100
system:
1. If necessary, prepare the cable as described in the relevant sections
of this guide.
2. See Figure 5. Loosen – but do not remove – compression nut F on the
cable gland. Pass the cable through the gland D and cable entry C
until the cable jacket has passed completely through the cable gland
assembly. The cable should be a sliding fit in the gland.
3. Make wiring connections in the device as described in the relevant
sections of this guide.
4. Check that wiring is routed so that it is not stressed, then hold cable
entry C to prevent the cable gland assembly from rotating and tighten
compression nut F firmly enough to ensure a waterproof seal.

Installing a blanking plug in an unused cable gland
All unused cable glands in the Exterior 50 & 100 system must be sealed
with blanking plugs to prevent the entry of water and dust. Enough suitably
sized blanking plugs are supplied with PSUs and Splitters to cover all
possible situations.

plugs
Figure 6: Cable gland blanking plugs
To install a blanking plug in a cable gland:
1. See Figure 6. Check that you have the correctly-sized blanking plug
for the gland you need to seal (the correct blanking plug is a sliding fit
in the gland when the compression nut F is loosened).
2. See Figure 5 on page 23. Loosen – but do not remove – compression
nut F on the unused cable gland, insert a suitably-sized blanking plug
fully into the cable gland, then hold cable entry C to prevent the
assembly from rotating and tighten compression nut F firmly enough to
ensure a waterproof seal.
Using a luminaire cable connection box
If the cable supplied pre-installed on Luminaires is not long enough,
Martin™ can supply a gel-filled cable connection box that allows you to
make a gel-sealed waterproof connection to extend the cable.
The connection box kit available from Martin™ (P/N 90510230) includes
the box, two cable glands and a four-way terminal block. A 10 m (32 ft.)
luminaire cable extension kit (P/N 90510200) that includes the gel-filled
connection box kit is also available.
24 Martin Professional™ Exterior 50 & 100™ system user manual
Use the gel-sealed luminaire cable connection box to extend
luminaire cables (the hybrid low-voltage/data cables supplied preinstalled on Luminaires) only. Do not use it on any other type of
cable.
Ensure that cables that are connected using the box cannot be
pulled or strained.
Install cable glands and cable ties following the instructions
supplied with the box, or IP68 protection will not be obt ai ne d.
Do not exceed the maximum safe luminaire cable length of 13 m
(42.6 ft.) total from Splitter to Luminaire.
Figure 7: Luminaire cable connection box
To connect cables using the cable connection box, follow the instructions
provided with the box. Note that you must:
• Use the connections box when extending Luminaire cables only. If any
other type of cable in the system is not long enough, replace it with a
complete length of suitable cable (see “Accessories” on page 79 for
cable available from Martin™).
• Ensure that cables connected using the box cannot be placed under
strain or tension.
• Break out the blanking sections in the connections box to prepare the
box to accept cable glands.
• Slide cable glands over cables before making wiring connections.
General information 25
• Use the terminal block to connect the wires in one Luminaire cable to
the wires in the other cable that have the same color and markings (see
Table 1).
Wire / marking Function
