Using for the first time
Before applying power to the panel:
• Carefully review “Safety Information” on page 3.
• Check that the local AC power voltage is within the ranges listed on the serial number label and in “Power
and fuses” on page 12.
• To supply the panel with power, use the supplied power cable or install an Amphenol C016 20 D 003 100
12 connector on a UL-listed, minimum 16 AWG or 1.5 mm
2
SJT (or better) power cable as described in
“Power connection” on page 13.
LC Plus flightcases
Important! To ensure that LC Plus panels can withstand the shocks
that normally occur during transport, they must be
packed in a Martin flightcase and transported in an
upright position following the instructions in the
flightcase (see
Figure 2). Damage caused to panels that
are incorrectly packed or exposed to abnormal shocks is
not covered by the product warranty.
When removing panels from the flightcase, keep all protective
material for use when repacking.
Important! Transport and store flightcases standing in an upright
position only. Do not transport flightcases lying flat on
their side.

Physical installation
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing the LC Plus.
Warning! The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation location, anchoring method,
mounting hardware and electrical installation is the responsibility of the installer. All local
safety regulations and legal requirements must be observed when installing and connecting the
LC Plus.
Warning! 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.
Warning! The surface of the heatsink in the base of the panel can become hot during normal
operation. Install so as to prevent accidental contact by members of the public.
Warning! Use two conical couplers to fasten a panel to a supporting structure or to another
panel. When lifting a panel, use two conical couplers as attachment points for lifting gear. Do
not use only one conical coupler or any other method to suspend, lift or attach panels. Do not
use the ventilation holes in the top rail or the LED tubes as attachment points.
Warning! Secure every panel with two safety cables that are approved for the weight they secure
and installed as described in this manual.
Warning! When stacking panels one on top of another or suspending panels one from another,
do not exceed the limits given in Figure 3. If an installation needs to be taller than the limits
given in Figure 3, additional support points must be provided to bear the weight of the
additional panels.
Warning! When stacking panels, secure them so that they cannot tip or fall.
The LC Plus can be installed in a standing position alone or stacked, flown in a vertical curtain or
suspended in any orientation from a truss or supporting structure.
