Safety Information 3

PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Shut down power to the entire installation at the power distribution board
and lock out power (by removing a fuse at the distribution board for
example), before removing any input cap, end cap, other cover or part.
Do not reapply power until all caps, retaining clips, cove rs and other
parts have been correctly installed.

• Shut down power to the installation when it is not in use.

• Connect the fixture electrically to ground (earth).

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault)
protection.

• Connect the fixture to AC power using an Extube input cap and the 13 A
power cable supplied pre-installed on the input cap only. The power
cable may not be changed by the user. If it is not suitable for your
installation, contact Martin for assistance in selecting and installing an
alternative power cable.

• Terminals inside the input cap are live when power is applied to the
power cable. Do not apply power to the cable unless the input cap is
installed on a fixture as described in this manual.

• Terminals inside the connector at the output end of the fixture are live
when power is applied to the fixture. Do not apply power to the fixture
unless an end cap is installed on the fixture as described in this manual.

• Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and
cables are in perfect condition, rated for the current requi rements of al l
connected devices, protected to IP67 or higher and of suitable type for
the location (including water, pollution, temperature and UV resistance).

• Isolate the fixture from power immediately if any cap, cable, seal, cover
or other component is damaged, cracked or deformed. Do not reapply
power until repairs have been completed.

• Do not expose any part of the fixture to a high-pressure water jet.

• Do not immerse the fixture in water or any other fluid, or install it in a
location where flooding may occur.

• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to an
authorized Martin Service partner.

PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE

• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40°
C (104° F).

• The exterior of the fixture becomes hot, up to 75° C (167° F) during
normal operation. Ensure that accidental physical contact with an
installed fixture is impossible.

• Allow the fixture to cool for 20 minutes before servicing.

• Keep combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least

0.5 m (20 in.) away from the fixtu re’s front cover and light output. Keep
flammable materials well away from the fixture.

• Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual or
install other than genuine Martin parts. Do not stick filters, masks or
other materials directly onto LEDs. Use only Martin approved
accessories to mask or modify the light beam.

• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses. Replace
defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating only.

• Install the fixture in a well ventilated area only. Provide a minimum
clearance of 10 cm (4 inches) and ensure unrestricted airflow around
the fixture.

PROTECTION FROM INJURY

• The LED emission presents a hazard to eyesight at distances from 4 cm
(1.6 inches) to 40 cm (16 inches) when the eye is exposed to the beam
for longer than 0.25 seconds.

• Do not look at LEDs from a distance of less than 40 cm (16 inches)
without suitable protective eyewear.

• Do not look at LEDs with a magnifying glass or any other optical
instrument that may concentrate the light output.

• Ensure that all external covers, components and installation fittings are
securely fastened.

• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform
whenever installing, servicing or moving the fixture.

• Ensure that all supporting structures, surfaces, fasteners and lifting
equipment can bear the weight of all the devices they are intended to
support plus an adequate safety margin, and that they conform to local
building and safety regulations.

• Use a sufficient number of fasteners with sufficient corrosion resistance,
dimensions and strength to mount the DIN rail safely. Any nuts used
must be self-locking.

• If the fixture is to be installed in a location where it may cause injury or
damage if it falls, use a secondary means of attachment such as looped
safety wires passing around the fixture.

angle) from 1200 mm models

• 25 W LED power and 348 lumens total output (at very narrow beam
angle) from 300 mm models

• Four models available: one Very Narrow beam angle model with no
diffuser fitted, and Narrow, Medium and Wide beam angles with
corresponding diffuser filters installed

• DMX 512A control

• Remote configuration over the DMX data link using a PC with Martin
MUM software and a hardware interface (Martin DABS1 recommended)

• Cascading auto-addressing (automatic DMX address setting of fixtures
connected to the master fixture)

Physical installation

Warning! Read "Safety Information" on page 3 before installing the
Extube.

Warning! The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation
location, anchoring method, mounting har dware and electrical
installation is the responsibility of the installer. All local safety
regulations and legal requirements must be observed when
installing and connecting the Extube. Installation must be carried
out by qualified professionals only.

Contact your Martin supplier for assistance if you have any
questions about how to install this product safely.

Location and orientation

Warning! The Extube must be clamped onto a a DIN top-hat rail that
is securely anchored to a suitable flat surface. Ensure that the
supporting structure can bear the weight of all installed devices plus
an adequate safety margin.

Warning! If no diffuser filter is installed, make sure that it is
impossible for LEDs to be viewed from a distance of less than 40 cm
(16 inches).

If the diffuser front is installed, there is no eye hazard at any distance.

important! Make sure that there will be at least 10 cm (4 inches) of
free space and unrestricted airflow around the Extube.

The Extube can be installed outdoors. It has an IP rating of 65 and is
designed to withstand rain and other low-pressure water projections, but:

• Do not expose it to high-pressure water jets from any direction.

• Do not immerse it in water or any other fluid.

• Do not install it in a location where flooding may occur.
If installing in an enclosed area, make sure that water can drain awa y from

the installation area at lea st as fast as it can enter it.
The Extube requires free and unobstructed airflow around it to ensure

adequate cooling:

• Do not cover the fixture or locate it in an unventilated space.

• Allow 10 cm (4 inches) free space around the fixture.

Physical installation 11

• Keep combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least

2.5

0.5 m (20 in.) away from the fixture’s front cover and light output. Keep
flammable materials well away from the fixture.

The housing can reach temperatures up to 75° C (167° F). Restrict public
access or locate the fixture so that it cannot accidentally be touched.

Mounting the fixture

Warning! The Extube must be mounted on a top-hat profile 35 mm
(1.4 inch) DIN rail that is securely anchored to a surface. The
installation must conform to local electrical, building, safety and fire
regulations. If there is a danger that fixtures may cause injury or
damage if they fall, use a means of secondary attachment such as
safety cables looped around the fixtures.

Corrosion-resistant DIN rail can be ordered from Martin (see
"Accessories" on page 37).

To mount the Extube on
a surface using 35 mm
DIN rail:

1. Fasten the DIN rail

securely to the
mounting surface.

A

2. See Figure 1. The

Extube mounting
bracket has a
hooked profile on
one side. Hook this
profile over the top
of the DIN rail and
swing the bracket
down (see A). Use a

2.5 mm Allen ke y to
tighten the mounting
clamp screw (see

B).
