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° 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 can fill a rotating gobo projection with movement. 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. Besides these, it 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 fixtures
(with DMX addresses, for example) and retrieve status information from fixtures over the DMX data link.
Martin™ can provide suitable high-quality 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 for the first time

IMPORTANT! The Exterior Projection 1000 is supplied with two cable ties fastened
around internal moving parts to protect components from damage during transport.
Before using the fixture, you must open the top cover and remove the cable ties!

Open the fixture in dry weather conditions only.

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. Use a 6 mm Allen key (hex
wrench) to remove the eight top cover screws
(arrowed). Lift the top cover off the fixture. For ease of
access – and if it is safe to do so – you can unclip the
safety cable and remove the cover completely from
the fixture.

Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual 7

6. See illustration on right. Avoid
dropping cable ties into the fixture.
Using scissors or cutting pliers, cut
and remove the two cable ties
(arrowed).

7. See illustration on right. If you unclipped the top
cover safety cable, reattach it so that it will catch the
top cover and prevent it from falling.

• If the fixture will not be opened again before it is

used, follow the correct procedure for reducing
humidity when closing it: see ‘Removing and
reinstalling the top cover’ on page 30).

• If the fixture will be opened again before it is

used, there is no need to follow the procedure
for reducing humidity and you can simply go the
next step below.

8. Place the top cover back on the fixture and reinstall
the eight top cover screws by first inserting them
finger-tight. Then use a torque driver and
cross-tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern, increasing torque gradually in stages until you reach
a torque of 1.9 – 3.5 Nm.

9. 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.

10. Apply power to the fixture. If the fixture’s temperature is
below 0° C (32° F), the fixture will go into warm-up mode
and activate internal heating elements. It will start up
when it reaches a safe temperature. The warm-up mode
protects mechanical parts and motors. When the fixture
starts up, it will reset all effects and functions to their
home positions and will then be ready for DMX control or
standalone operation.

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 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.
Remove any slack from the safety cable: if the primary method
of attachment fails, it must be impossible for the fixture to drop
any significant distance before the safety cable catches it.

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 45) 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.

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 11. In
the base of the mounting yoke, loosen the bolts in the
center hole A and curved slots C slightly, just until you
can rotate the yoke.

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

6. Using a torque driver, tighten the four tilt adjustment
screws to a torque of 1.8 – 3.5 Nm.

7. In the base of the mounting yoke, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fixture setup

Read ’Safety information’ on page 4 before operating the fixture.

Using the control menus

This section explains the fixture settings and utilities that are available using the control panel and
display that are located on the side of the fixture.

You can find a full map of the control menus in ’Control menus’ on page 31. Some settings and
functions are also available via RDM.

Control menu settings are retained when the fixture is powered off.

Navigating in the control menus

To access the control menus, press the MENU button and hold for three seconds.

• To select a menu option or to confirm a selection, press the ENTER button.

• To scroll up and down the items in a menu, use the DOWN ARROW (▼) and UP ARROW (▲)

buttons.

• To return to a higher level in the menu structure, press the MENU button.

• To exit all active control menus and return directly to the top level, press and hold the MENU button.

Passwords

The Exterior Projection 1000 onboard control panel is password-protected to discourage tampering.
There are two passwords:

• A user password that is set to 111 by default, but can be changed to any number from 0 to 999.

This password is required to enter the control menus.

• A service password that is factory-set to 123 and cannot be changed. This password is

required to reset the ’Lamp Hours’ counter, set the fixture to Evaporation Mode before closing
the top cover, and enter the fixture offset menus. Note that users may only make changes to
the fixture offsets with guidance from Martin Service.

To enter or set a password, use the DOWN ARROW and UP ARROW buttons to scroll to the required
number. When the number is displayed, press ENTER to confirm.

Setting a DMX address

The Exterior Projection 1000 uses twenty DMX channels to receive instructions from a DMX controller.
The fixture’s DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first of these channels. If a fixture
that requires 4 DMX channels has its DMX address set to 1, for example, then it uses channels 1, 2, 3
and 4. The next fixture can have its DMX address set to 5, the next to 9 and so on until all the 512
channels in one DMX universe are allocated.

If you want independent control of a group of fixtures, give each fixture its own DMX address so that
each fixture has its own control channels. If you want a group of fixtures of the same type to always
behave identically, give all the fixtures the same DMX address so that they all use the same DMX
control channels.

You can set a fixture’s DMX address using the fixture’s control panel or by sending commands from an
RDM-compliant DMX controller.

To set the fixture’s DMX address from the control panel:

1. Press and hold the MENU button to access the control menu.

2. Use UP and DOWN to select DMX ADDRESS from the menu. Press ENTER.

3. The fixture’s current DMX address is displayed. Press UP or DOWN to scroll to the DMX address
that you want to give to the fixture.

4. Press ENTER to store the DMX address in the fixture.

5. Press MENU to exit.

Programming a standalone show

You can program a standalone show – a sequence of ’scenes’ that run in a loop – in the Exterior
Projection 1000. A scene consists of a combination of effects such as gobo selection, gobo movement,
color, intensity, etc. You can set the standalone show to run if you are not using a DMX controller or if a
signal from a DMX controller is lost. The show can have up to 20 scenes that display for up to 10
minutes each. You can program ’fades’ (changes from one scene to the next) so that scenes change
immediately or change gradually over a period of up to 120 seconds’ duration.

Note: To enable standalone operation, the OFFLINE MODE setting in the FIXTURE CONFIG menu
must be set to RUN SHOW. See Offline mode – behavior without DMX’ on page 21. A fixture will only
run a standalone show when it is not receiving a DMX signal.

To program a stand-alone show:

1. Access the control menu and use UP and DOWN to scroll to PROGRAM SHOW. Press ENTER to
select.

Fixture status

You can view the following fixture status information in the FIXTURE STATUS menu:

• Current temperature of LED engine.

• Total number of hours the fixture has been in use.

• Total number of hours the LEDs have been powered on.

• Software version currently installed in the fixture.

You can also call up fixture status information from an RDM-compatible controller.

Fixture configuration (including master/slave operation)

The FIXTURE CONFIG menu contains additional settings for customizing behavior.

Master/slave operation – important guidelines

Fixtures operating in standalone mode can be synchronized in master/slave operation if they are all
connected to each other on a DMX data link.

In master/slave operation, one fixture running a standalone show – the ’master’ fixture –sends ‘fade’
and ’wait’ signals to the other fixtures running standalone shows – the ’slave’ fixtures – so that scene
change times in slave fixtures are synchronized with the scene change times in the master. Every time
the master changes to its next pre-programmed scene, the slave fixtures change to their next
pre-programmed scene at the same time.

Note the following:

• Although scene changes in master and slave fixtures all occur at the same time, scenes do not have

to be identical. You can program different effects in the standalone scenes of different fixtures.

• Each fixture displays its own pre-programmed standalone show until it reaches its last scene, then it

starts the show sequence again and continues in a loop. If all fixtures have the same number of
scenes in their shows, they will all start shows in synch. If the standalone shows in different fixtures
have different numbers of scenes, the fixtures will restart their shows at different times relative to
each other.

• If no controller is connected to the first fixture on the link, you can improve the quality of the data

signal sent to slave fixtures by connecting a DMX termination plug (a plug with a 120 Ohm resistor
across data hot and data cold) to the data input of the first fixture.

• DMX and RDM signals will override standalone operation in both the master and the slave fixtures.

This means that standalone operation is only possible if no DMX signal is present.

• You must set only the first fixture on the link to be the master fixture. Set all the other fixtures as

slaves. If you set more than one fixture to act as master, you may cause damage that is not covered
by the product warranty.

Setting up master/slave operation

Set up master/slave operation as follows:

1. Program a standalone show in each fixture as described under ‘Programming a standalone show’
on page 18.

2. On each fixture, access the control menu and select FIXTURE CONFIG. Press ENTER.

3. Check that all fixtures are set to SLAVE. On the first fixture on the link – and only on this fixture –
select MASTER and press ENTER. Press MENU to return to the FIXTURE CONFIG menu.

20 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

4. ON each fixture, scroll to OFFLINE MODE and press ENTER. Then select RUN SHOW and press
ENTER. Finally, press and hold MENU to exit the control menus.

5. Fixtures will now run standalone shows synchronized with the master fixture’s standalone shows
whenever the fixtures are powered on and not receiving a DMX control signal.

Offline mode – behavior without DMX

There are three options for setting how a fixture behaves when it is not receiving a DMX signal
(including when it is receiving a DMX signal but the signal is suddenly lost):

• RUN SHOW: Fixture executes pre-programmed scenes in a standalone show.

• DMX LAST STATE: Fixture holds and displays the last received DMX command.

• BLACK OUT (default): Fixture blacks out.

To set the desired behavior:

1. Access the control menu and select FIXTURE CONFIG. Press ENTER.

2. Press UP or DOWN to select one of the above three options. Press ENTER to confirm.

Note that for standalone and master/slave operation, OFFLINE MODE must be set to RUN SHOW.

Setting effect offsets

You can adjust the home position of each effect by setting an offset in the FIXTURE OFFSET menu.
Adjustments are held in memory when the fixture is powered off and on.

Offsets can be used to match multiple fixtures after they have been installed, for example, if precise
alignment is required.

To reduce the risk of unauthorized tampering with the fixture, you must enter the user password (factory
default = 111) before you can access the FIXTURE OFFSET menu.

Setup via RDM

The Exterior Projection 1000 is compatible with RDM (Remote Device Management). Using an
RDM-compliant DMX controller, you can communicate with all the fixtures on a data link without
needing to access the fixture’s control panels or connect to each fixture individually. RDM lets you set
the DMX addresses of all the fixtures on the link, carry out basic fixture configuration and retrieve basic
fixture data.

Before you can communicate with fixtures, you will need to send a scan command (‘Disc Unique
Branch’) from the RDM controller to detect the devices on the data link. You can then send a ‘Get
Supported Parameters’ RDM command to retrieve a list of the Parameter IDs (RDM messages)
supported by the fixture.

Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual 21

22 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

Gobos

The fixture contains a rotating gobo wheel with the seven rotating glass gobos shown below, viewed
from the front glass side (front of the fixture):

Rotating gobo wheel

Gobo 1: Grass Lines Gobo 5: Ripple Texture Glass

Gobo 2: Organic Delight Gobo 6: Lined Effect Glass

Gobo 3: Brush lt Gobo 7: Sequence It

Gobo 4: Light Lines

The gobos can be set to indexed positions and rotated continuously with variable speed and direction.

To project a gobo, select the gobo and action type (indexed angle or rotation) on channel 8, then adjust
the indexed angle or direction and speed of rotation on channels 9 and 10 until you obtain the
projection you want. Using two channels for adjustment gives 16-bit control.

Gobos are user-replaceable. You can replace them with custom gobos made to your own design
provided that the gobos meet the quality and specifications of the Martin™ gobos supplied with the
fixture (see ‘Gobos’ on page 44).

Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual 23

Animation effect

The gobo animation effect is designed to be used in combination with a rotating gobo and color filter to
create a moving image of flames, grass blowing in the wind, water, etc.

Animation effect

Adjust the speed and direction of the gobo rotation, the speed and direction of the animation effect and
fixture focus to give the most realistic animation.

You can adjust the position of the animation wheel on a separate DMX channel. This lets you modify
the angle of the animation effect.

In projections where animation and prism effects are combined with CMY color mixing, color fringing
will be visible around sharp edges, especially on less saturated colors. The fringing is unavoidable with
this combination of effects, but it is not unattractive and it gives depth to gobos.

24 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

Animation Horizontal 90 o

Prism

The fixture has one 4-facet linear rotating and one 3-facet radial rotating prism. Either prism can be
deployed to obtain rotating split beam effects. Each prism can be set to an indexed position or rotated
with variable speed and direction.

Frost

The frost filter softens the light output, giving a diffuse beam. You can adjust the level of diffuser
applied.

Focus

The motorized focus lets you adjust the sharpness of projections from the controller. Gobo animation
effects, for example, can be most effective if they are slightly out of focus.

Zoom

The motorized zoom let you adjust the beam angle from 10o - 43.5o.

26 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

Operation

The Exterior Projection 1000 is designed to operate at ambient temperatures between -30° C (-22° F)
and 45° C (113° F). For instant wake-up with no warm-up mode, we recommend that you keep power
applied constantly in ambient temperatures below 0° C (32° F).

If the fixture’s temperature rises above its normal operating range, its light output is regulated. As the
ambient temperature nears 45° C and if the fixture is exposed to strong sunlight, for example, output
intensity will be reduced in order to protect the fixture.

Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual 27

Maintenance

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

Important! Opening the fixture can allow moisture to enter and cause condensation on the front
glass. Read ‘Managing humidity’ below and follow the guidelines in this user manual carefully.

Refer any service or repair operation not described in this manual to an authorized Martin™ service
technician. Do not try to carry out such an operation yourself, as doing so may present a health or
safety risk. It may also cause damage or malfunction, and it may void your product warranty.

Installation, on-site service and maintenance can be provided worldwide by the Martin™ Global Service
organization and its approved agents, giving owners access to Martin’s expertise and product
knowledge in a partnership that will ensure the highest level of performance throughout the product’s
lifetime. Please contact your Martin™ supplier for details.

Optical components have fragile coatings and are exposed to very high temperatures. Handle and
store components with care. Wear cotton gloves while handling them. Keep them perfectly clean and
free of oil and grease to reduce the risk of heat damage.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust and dirt degrades the
fixture’s light output and cooling ability.

Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible
to specify precise cleaning intervals for the Exterior Projection 1000. Inspect fixtures within their first
few weeks of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals. This
procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult
your Martin dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.

Do not use products that contain solvents, abrasives or caustic agents for cleaning, as they can cause
surface damage to the fixture. The aluminum housing and front glass can be cleaned with mild
detergents such as those for washing cars.

To clean the housing and front glass:

1. Isolate the fixture from AC power and allow the fixture to cool for 20 minutes.

2. Visually check that the silicone seals and the power and data cables are in good condition. If any
seal or cable shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of water resistance, stop cleaning the fixture
and contact a Martin authorized service technician for replacement.

3. If seals are in good condition, rinse off loose dirt with a hose or low-pressure water spray.

4. Wash the aluminum housing and front glass using warm water with a little mild detergent and a soft
brush or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

5. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Managing humidity

Martin™ Exterior fixtures are IP66-rated and are designed to resist water and moisture in environments
with widely varying climate, temperature and humidity conditions. But if fixtures are not managed
correctly during installation and service, water and moisture can enter, leading to humidity and
condensation inside the fixtures. Maximize the performance and service life of your product by following
the precautions in this section.

General

• Carry out service during low-humidly weather conditions (or indoors if possible). Check that fixtures

are dry and free of moist air before closing them.

• Tighten cover screws exactly as directed in this manual and using a torque driver.

28 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

• Make sure that all threads are clean and dry. Do not apply lubricant to threads before assembly.

While lubricant may make disassembly easier during future service, it means that tightening screws
to the specified torque will compress seals too much.

• Air and water can be sucked along cables and into fixtures. A cracked or porous cable jacket can

allow water into the cable. Replace any cable that is not in perfect condition. Make sure that cables
from fixtures open into dry areas (e.g. junction boxes in dry locations).

• Do not clean fixtures with high-pressure water jets or immerse them.

Seals and sealing surfaces

The fixture must be sealed effectively. Covers have silicone seals that will withstand rain and water
splashing but will not withstand immersion or high-pressure water jets. Reinstall covers and seals
carefully if you have removed them.

• Make sure that seals and sealing surfaces are perfectly clean, dry and in perfect condition before

installing a cover. If you need to clean seals, use water and a soft cloth only. Replace any seal that
shows signs of aging, damage, cracking, stretching or deformation. Replacement seals are
available from Martin™.

• Reinstall seals in exactly their original position.

• Install seals so that they closely follow the profile of the metal parts they are installed on. When you

run your finger around the sealing surface after you have installed a cover, you should not be able to
feel any places where the seal sticks out or sinks into the gap between the sealing surfaces.

• Do not use liquid gasket or any other type of sealant on sealing surfaces or seals.

Pressure relief valves

A valve with a Gore-Tex membrane on the back of the fixture (see ‘Fixture overview’ on page 6)
equalizes pressure by allowing air to pass through it when the fixture heats up and cools down, but at
the same time it acts as a barrier to water in liquid form. The expulsion of warm air (with a slightly higher
water vapor content) and intake of cool air (with a slightly lower water vapor content) prevents humidity
buildup over time, provided that the valve works correctly and the fixture is correctly sealed.

Valves become blocked over time as the micropores in the membrane fill with particles. If a valve
becomes blocked by dirt or water, excess pressure can damage seals or cause air and even water to
be sucked into the fixture along cables. Valves cannot be cleaned and must be replaced if they show
any signs of contamination or if they are not in perfect condition.

To obtain the maximum service life from your fixture, follow these guidelines:

• Do not allow water to collect on or near valves. Do not install a fixture with the valve membrane

horizontal so that water can pool on it.

• Replace a valve with a new item if it shows any signs of contamination or is not in perfect condition.

• Replace valves after an extended period of use. Intervals for valve replacement depend on the

installation environment.

• Consult your Martin™ dealer about a suitable valve replacement schedule. Contact Martin™

Service for valve replacement.

Removing and reinstalling the top cover

Important! Open the fixture in dry weather conditions only. Use the fixture’s Evaporation Mode and a

new silica gel desiccant bag when you close the fixture to reduce humidity inside the fixture.

Access to optical components is made easy by a cover on the top of the fixture.

Removing the top cover

To remove the top cover:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it
to cool for at least 60 minutes.

2. See illustration on right. Use a 6 mm Allen key
(hex wrench) to remove the eight top cover
screws (arrowed). Lift the top cover off the
fixture. For ease of access – and if it is safe to
do so – you can unclip the safety cable and
remove the cover completely from the fixture.

Reinstalling the top cover

To reinstall the top cover:

1. See illustration on right. Check the silicone seal in
the top cover. If it is not in perfect condition, replace
it with a new item from Martin™.

2. See illustration on right. If you unclipped the top
cover safety cable, reattach it so that it will catch the
top cover and prevent it from falling.

3. Place the top cover loosely over the top of the fixture
so that air can enter and leave the fixture.

30 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

4. See illustration on right. Obtain a silica
gel desiccant bag (P/N 37220000) from
Martin™ and a cable tie 250 – 300 mm in
length. Do not remove the silica gel bag
from its sealed aluminum foil bag until
you are ready to install it as described
below.

5. Open the Service  Evaporation Mode control menu and select PASSWORD. Scroll to the service
password (123) and press ENTER.

6. Select COVER OPEN and press ENTER.

7. Select EVAPORATION ON to set the fixture to Evaporation Mode. This allows warm, humid air to
leave the fixture and dry air to enter the fixture. WAIT will appear in the display.

8. After approx. 15 minutes the display will stop showing WAIT and start showing CLOSE COVER.
Press ENTER.

9. Remove the silica gel bag from its aluminum foil bag. See illustration below. Loop the cable tie
around the driver board cover and around the bag as shown, then tighten the cable tie.

10. Check that the top cover safety cable is correctly installed.

11. Reinstall the eight top cover screws by first inserting them finger-tight. Then use a torque driver and
cross-tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern, increasing torque gradually in stages until you reach
a torque of 1.9 – 3.5 Nm.

Replacing a rotating gobo

Gobos are user-replaceable, and you can replace them with custom gobos made to your own design.

Gobos 1 – 4 and gobo 7 are printed/coated glass and share the same specifications, but gobos 5 and 6
are textured glass and have different specifications to the others. See ‘Gobos’ on page35. When
replacing the textured glass gobos in goboholder 5 and 6 with standard glass gobos, you must use the
long spring.

See illustration below. The goboholders have magnets (arrowed) that the fixture uses to recognize the
position of the gobo wheel and gobos. If you replace gobos, make sure that you always install gobos
and goboholders in their original orientation, using the magnet as reference.

The rotating gobos in the Exterior Projection 1000 are installed in gobo holders that clip into the rotating
gobo wheel.

Keep gobos perfectly clean and free of oil and grease from your fingers. Put on clean, lint-free gloves
while handling gobos.

To replace a gobo:

1. Remove the top cover as described under ‘Removing and reinstalling the top cover’ earlier in this
chapter.

32 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

2. See illustration below. Position the alignment mark (arrowed) in the gobo holder at a reference
point such as the midpoint between the end of the motor mounting plate and multi-connector shown
below. Always remove and reinstall gobo holders with alignment marks in the same position so that
you keep gobos in the same orientation.

3. See illustration below. Pull the goboholder forwards, away from the wheel, then lift it up out of the
wheel.

4. See illustration below. Place the goboholder on a clean, flat work surface with the teeth facing
upwards. The gobo is held in place in the goboholder by a spring. Taking care to avoid scratching
or applying pressure to the gobo, lever the end of the spring out, remove the spring and then lift the
gobo out of the goboholder.

Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual 33

5. See illustration below. Hold the gobo with the dark side facing upwards towards the teeth in the
goboholder. Match up the alignment marks (arrowed) in the gobo and goboholder. Lay the new
gobo flat in the goboholder.

Gobos 5 and 6 only

Gobos 5 and 6 are textured glass and require a thrust washer. See illustration below. Place the black
thrust washer (arrowed) over the gobo before you go on to the next step.

1. See illustration below. Note the end of the gobo retaining spring with the bend (arrowed) that is
used for levering the spring out of the goboholder. Making sure that the bend in the spring is at the
top (as shown below), press the spring down into the goboholder until the spring clips into its
recess in the goboholder. Check that the spring is secure and that the gobo is still sitting flat in the
goboholder.

34 Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual

2. Hold the goboholder up to the rotating gobo wheel in its original position. Rotate it until the
alignment mark in the goboholder lines up with the reference point as shown in Step 3.

3. See illustrations below and right. Push the goboholder into
position, sliding the tongue that sticks out from the
goboholder into position (arrowed) behind the gobo activation
cog, pressing against the gobowheel.

4. Check that the goboholder is held securely. Rotate the whole gobowheel with your finger and check
that the goboholder rotates in the wheel while you rotate the gobowheel. If the goboholder does not
rotate, it is not correctly installed and its teeth are probably not engaged correctly in the teeth in the
gobowheel. Lift the goboholder out of the gobowheel and reinstall it correctly.

5. Reinstall the top cover as described earlier in this chapter.
