Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual 7

Introduction

The Exterior Projection 1000 from Martin™ is an image projection fixture that combines a powerful
440 W LED engine, advanced dynamic effects and rugged weatherproofing. It has a zoom range from
10 - 43.5 degrees and is ideally suited to the projection of images and/or text such as logos.

The fixture features a rotating gobo wheel with seven interchangeable rotating gobos and a gobo
animation effect that provides animated projections when used in combination with a rotating gobo. The
fixture has full CMY color mixing and additional color wheel with 7 dichroic color filters. It also features
one radial 3-facet and one linear 4-facet rotating prism as well as a variable frost effect. It also has
smooth electronic dimming, remote zoom and focusing and strobe effects.

The Exterior Projection 1000 can be controlled using any controller that is compatible with the
industry-standard DMX512 lighting control protocol. It also responds to RDM (Remote Device
Management) communication if you use an RDM-compliant controller. RDM lets you set up and retrieve
status information from fixtures over the DMX data link. Martin™ can provide suitable high-quality DMX
and DMX/RDM controllers with an intuitive user interface that make it easy to set up impressive lighting
effects. See www.martin.com for details.

The Exterior Projection 1000 can also function without DMX control as a standalone projector and
display one of twenty dynamic lighting effects that you can pre-program.

Before using the product for the first time

Before you use the Exterior Projection 1000 for the first time:

1. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before
using the fixture. Do not attempt to operate a damaged fixture.

2. Check the fixture’s Tech Docs / Product Support page on the
Martin Professional™ website at www.martin.com and make sure
that you have read the latest user documentation and technical
information about the fixture. Martin™ user manual revisions are
identified by the revision letter at the bottom of the inside cover.

3. Read ‘Safety information’ on page 3 of this user manual.

4. Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match
the power requirements of the fixture.

5. See illustration on right. Remove the cover (arrowed) from the
control panel and display on the side of the fixture so that you can
set up the fixture using the control panel.

6. If the temperature is below -20° C (-4° F), apply power to the
fixture but do not use it for 30 minutes. This will give the fixture
time to warm up to within its operating temperature range.

Note that whenever AC power is applied to the fixture, it will reset all effects and functions to their home
positions. Reset is available when fixture temperature is above -20° C (-4° F).

Physical installation

Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before installing the fixture.

Protection from the sun

Important! The fixture’s optical system can focus rays

from the sun inside the fixture, causing internal damage
and presenting a fire hazard. Make sure that the sun will
not shine into the front of the fixture at any time.

The Glare Shield available from Martin™ can help
protect the front of the fixture from the sun.

If the control panel will be exposed to sunlight, install its cover to protect the panel and its display from
heat and UV radiation.

Protection from moisture

If there is a break or cut at any point in a cable (for example at a
connection point), and if this is exposed to water, moisture can be
drawn up the inside of the cable due to the vacuum effect of
temperature fluctuations during operation. Ensure that the fixture is
protected from the entry of water via cables by using IP66-rated
connectors or junction boxes, or by protecting connectors with
weatherproof housings. Make sure that all cables open into dry
areas.

See illustration on right. Create a drip loop before cable glands to
reduce any tendency for glands to be constantly immersed in
water.

Mounting the fixture

The fixture can be mounted at any angle and the yoke can be fastened to a vertical, horizontal or
angled surface, but the sides of the fixture must be vertical when installed (see examples below), or the
fixture’s cooling airflow will be affected, leading to excessively high fixture temperature and reduced
light output.

Sides of fixture vertical: OK

Sides of fixture not vertical: Not OK

10 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

Do not stand the fixture freely on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. Ensure that
the installation surface or structure and all fasteners used can safely bear at least 10 times the weight
of all the fixtures and equipment they will support.

Avoiding galvanic corrosion

The fixture and mounting bracket are manufactured in corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum. Avoid
mounting the fixture in direct contact with other types of metal, as this can cause galvanic corrosion.
When fastening to a metal that is not aluminum:

• Use an electrically insulating material (such as rubber or plastic) or coating between the mounting
bracket and the other metal.

• Use a non-conductive coating such as Delta Seal on fasteners (screws, bolts, washers, etc.) where
they come into contact with the mounting bracket.

Anchoring to a surface or structure

The fixture’s mounting yoke base must be securely anchored to a flat surface on a wall, pedestal,
structural beam or other suitable support. The yoke allows the fixture to be manually panned and tilted
for beam aiming adjustment.

To anchor the fixture to a surface:

1. See illustration below. Fasten a 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter bolt to the surface through the

center hole A in the mounting yoke.

2. Fasten two bolts with 8 mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter to the surface with one bolt passing through

each of the curved slots C to anchor the fixture. This will give approximately 90° of pan adjustment.

3. Adjust the fixture’s pan angle (side-to-side beam aiming) as described later in this chapter.

Adjusting pan is best carried out with power applied to the fixture so that the projection is visible.
Once pan is correct, fasten two 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter bolts to the surface with one bolt
passing through each of the holes B. Once bolts have been installed in holes B, pan adjustment is
no longer possible.

Mounting yoke base

Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual 11

Secondary attachment

If a secondary attachment is required for reasons of safety (in
entertainment venues, onboard ships or in temporary
installations, for example), see drawing on right. Loop a safety
cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture through the
secondary attachment point (arrowed) in the fixture and attach
the safety cable to a secure anchoring point so that the cable will
catch the fixture if the primary method of attachment fails.

Adjusting aiming (pan and tilt)

Warning! The fixture can become hot. Wear heat-resistant gloves if you adjust the
aim of the fixture when it is (or has recently been) powered on.

Fixture aim adjustment is best carried out after the fixture has been connected to power and in weak
light conditions so that the projection from the fixture is clearly visible.

See illustration on right. If you require very precise aiming and setup,
we recommend that you order the projection setup gobo available from
Martin™ for the Exterior Projection 1000 (see ’Accessories’ on page 36)
and install it in the gobo wheel while you adjust fixture aim, focus, etc.

To adjust the aim of the fixture:

1. Set the fixture to project a setup gobo or another gobo with a

sharply defined pattern. You can select the image remotely either
via DMX or by using the MANUAL TEST menu in the fixture’s
control panel (see ‘Manual test’ on page 13).

2. Put on heat-resistant gloves.

3. See illustration on right. Loosen the tilt lock Allen (hex)

screws (arrowed) on both sides of the yoke slightly, just
until you can tilt the fixture in the yoke.

4. See ‘Anchoring to a surface or structure’ on page

5. Loosen the bolts in the center hole A and curved slots

C slightly, just until you can rotate the yoke.

6. Pan and tilt the fixture until it is aimed correctly.

7. Using a torque driver, tighten the four tilt adjustment

screws to a torque of 1.8 – 3.5 Nm.

8. See ‘Anchoring to a surface or structure’ on page 8.

Tighten the bolts in the center hole A and curved slots
C and install bolts in holes B. Check that the fixture will
be held securely in all wind and weather conditions.

AC power

Read ’Safety information’ on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power.

Electrical installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only.

Lock out power to the entire installation before working on cables and connections.

For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The
AC power distribution system must be fitted with current overload and ground-fault
(earth-fault) circuit breakers as well as a means to isolate fixtures from power and lock out
power during service.

The Exterior Projection 1000 is supplied in EU and US models. Both models accept AC power at
100-240 V nominal or 277 V nominal at 50 or 60 Hz. Do not connect to power at any other voltage or
frequency.

You can connect the Exterior Projection 1000 to either of the following mains power distribution
systems:

• Single-phase (live, neutral, ground/earth) system.

• Grounded/earthed three-phase four-wire (three phases, neutral, ground/earth) system.

Do not try to connect to a three-phase three-wire (three phases, ground/earth) system.

There is no power on/off switch. Power is applied to an Exterior Projection 1000 fixture as soon as it is
connected to power. Provide a means to disconnect or shut down power to fixtures that is easily
accessible and is located close to the fixtures.

Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this may cause damage to the
fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.

Connecting to AC mains power

The fixture is supplied with a power cable installed ready for connection. See illustration below:

AC power cable

To connect to a single-phase system or to one phase of a three-phase four-wire system:

1. Lock out power to the installation.

2. Connect the conductors in the power cable to the distribution circuit as follows: a) Connect the

green wire (US models) or yellow/green wire (EU models) to ground (earth). b) Connect the white
wire (US models) or blue wire (EU models) to neutral. c) Connect the black wire (US models) or
brown wire (EU models) to live (one phase of a three-phase system).

3. Check that all installation work is completed and carry out appropriate tests and safety checks

before applying power.

Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual 13

Using a power plug

It is possible to install a power plug (cord cap) on the power cable for temporary use only. If you need to
do this, install a grounding type (earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 277 V, 6 A.
Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in the
table below:

Control data link

A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX (and manage fixtures via RDM, if
used). Your Martin™ supplier will be happy to help if you need advice or assistance in planning the link.

Follow these guidelines when creating a DMX data link:

• Use RS-485 data cable designed for exterior use. RS-485 cable has low capacitance and a
characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 Ohms. It is electrically shielded and has at least one twisted
pair of conductors. The minimum recommended wire size is 0.25 mm2 (24 AWG) for runs up to 300
meters (1000 ft.) and 0.32 mm2 (22 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft.). A cable run of more
than 500 meters requires the use of a splitter-amplifier to boost the DMX signal.

• If independent control of a fixture is required, that fixture must have its own DMX channels. Any
fixtures that will always be required to behave identically can have the same DMX address, which
means that they will use the same DMX channels.

• 512 DMX channels are available in a single DMX universe. Each time the number of DMX channels
required by the fixtures on a data link reaches 512 and you want to add more fixtures, create a new
DMX universe on a new data link and connect the additional fixtures to the new link.

• You can connect up to 32 fixtures in a single daisy chain on a DMX data link. Connecting in a daisy
chain means that you must connect the DMX data OUT from one fixture to the DMX data IN of the
next fixture, creating a single line of fixtures. Do not split the link into branches by creating a Y shape
in the cable or at connectors.

• However, you can split a DMX data link into two or more branches if you use an optically isolated
DMX splitter-amplifier. To preserve RDM functionality, use an RDM-compatible splitter such as the
Martin™ RDM 5.5 Splitter. Each branch can contain up to 32 fixtures.

• If you reach the limit of 32 fixtures on a DMX data link, you can connect up to 32 additional fixtures if
you add a splitter-amplifier such as the Martin™ RDM 5.5 Splitter to the link in order to boost the
data signal. Adding a splitter-amplifier also lets you extend a data link beyond 500 meters (1640 ft.).

• The data link (and each branch of the link if you have created branches with a splitter-amplifier)
must be terminated at the end by placing a 120 ohm resistor (available from Martin, P/N 04150308)
across the data output hot (+) and data output cold (-) conductors of the last fixture on the link.

• Do not create long parallel runs of AC power and data cables, as these may cause interference on
the data link. Even if not required by law, use separate conduits for power and data cables.

• The Exterior Projection 1000’s combined data input/output cable does not support the optional
second data wire pair that is provided for in the DMX512-A standard. Do not place devices that use
the second data pair on the same DMX data link as Exterior Projection 1000 fixtures.

Connecting the data link

Important! All connections must be completely protected from moisture (inside IP66-rated junction

boxes, for example).

Important! Connect the data output from one fixture to the data input of one fixture only.

If you connect one data output to more than one data input, you will split the DMX data link into
branches which will probably cause data signal integrity problems.

The Exterior Projection 1000 is supplied with a hard-wired 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) shielded cable with 2 pairs of
wires for connection to a DMX data link.

The pair of wires with a green sleeve is for data input from the control device or previous device in the
daisy chain. The pair of wires with a brown sleeve is for data output (throughput) to the next device in
the daisy chain.
