PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Shut down power to the entire installation at the building’s main power distribution board and lock out
power (by removing the fuse for example) before carrying out any installation or maintenance work.
• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before remo ving or installing any cov er or part and when not in use.
• Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.
• 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 this fixture to AC power either using the supplied power cable or via 3-conductor cable that is
rated minimum 20 amp, hard usage. Suitable cable types include ST, SJT, STW, SEO, SEOW and STO.
• The voltage and frequency at the power outlet are the same as the voltage and frequency applied to the
power inlet. Only connect devices to the power outlet that accept this voltage and frequency.
• Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition
and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.
• Do not use the fixture if the power cable or power plug are in any way damaged, defectiv e or wet, or if they
show signs of overheating.
• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
PROTECTION FROM FIRE
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses. Replace defective fuses with ones of the
specified type and rating only.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 m (4 in.) around fans and air vents.
• Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin parts.
• Do not stick filters, masks or other materials directly onto LEDs.
• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
PROTECTION FROM INJURY
• Do not hang fixtures from each other. Use one clamp per fixture when suspending.
• When suspending the fixture, ensure that the structure and all hardware used can hold at least 10 times
the weight of all devices suspended from them.
• Use a secondary attachment (such as a safety cable) to secure each fixture. Secondary attachments
must be able to hold at least 10 times the weight of all devices suspended from them and must be
installed as described in this manual.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or
moving the fixture.
• The LED emission presents a hazard to eyesight at a distance of 4 - 40 cm (1.6 - 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 le ss th an 40 cm (1 ft. 4 in .) without suitable protective eye wear.
• Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers or similar optical instruments that may concentrate the light output.

Introduction 7
Physical installation
WARNING!Use either the supplied adjustable floorstand/mounting bracket or an omega bracket and
rigging clamp to install each Stagebar 54. With all methods of installation:
1. Check that all structures , eq uipment or surfaces used for support can bear at least 10 times the
weight of all the fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc. that they will support.
2. Check that there are no combustible materials within 0. 5 m (20 i n.) of th e fixt ures whe n inst alled,
and that there are no flammable materials nearby.
3. Do not hang fixtures from each other – every fixture must be installed with its own bracket and/or
clamp.
4. Secure each fixture with an approved safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of
the fixture and hardware attached to it, looping the cable through the attachment point labelled
on the fixture and over or through the supporting structure. Do not use the mounting bracket as
a secondary attachment point, as this will leave the fixture unsecured.
5. If the diffuser front is not 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, the re i s no eye hazard at any distance.
important! Make sure that there will be at least 0.1 m (4 in.) of free space and unrestricted airflow to
and around the air vents in the back of the fixtures.
The Stagebar 54 can be installed in a standing position or suspended in any orientation from a truss or
supporting str ucture. The supplied mounting bracket can be fitted with a rigging clamp or bolted to a
surface. Alternatively, the mounting bracket can be replaced with an omega bracket and rigging clamp.
Adjustable mounting bracket
The adjustable mounting bracket supplied with the fixture can either be folded around the fixture and used
as a floorstand, fastened directly to a surface or fitted with a rigging clamp for flying install ation. Use a t least
two bolts, grade 8.8 minimum, if fastening to a surface. A drilling template is provided on the inside back
cover of this manual.
Standing installation
If you install fixtures in a standing position:
1. Install fixtures on a level, stable surface where they do not present a hazard of tripping or falling.
2. Stack a maximum of four fixtures vertically and secure stacked fixtures so that they cannot fall over.
Flying from a truss, bar or other structure
To fly a fixture from a rig or other structure:
1. Install a rigging clamp on an omega clamp attachment bracket,
then fasten the omega bracket to the fixture using the
quarter-turn mounting points on the rear panel (see Figure 1 on
page 6). Ensure that quarter-turn fasteners are turned a full 90°
clockwise to lock them (see Figure 2).
2. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable
platform, suspend the fixture by fastening the rigging clamp to
the truss or structure.As soon as a fixture is fastened in place,
install a secondary attachment such as a safety cable to secure
it.

AC power
DANGER! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before connecting the Stagebar 54 to AC power.
Lock out power to the entire distribution system before carrying out installation work.
DANGER! Replace fuses with ones of the same type and rating only.
Important! Do not supply the fixture with power via an external dimming system, or you may cause
damage the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The Stagebar 54 features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to
100 - 240 V nominal AC power at 50 or 60 Hz. Only connect the fixture to AC power within this voltage
range.
Fixtures are protected by a 3.15 amp slow-blow primary fuse located in a fuseholder on the rear panel (see
Figure 1 on page 6). The power output circuit is protected by a 15 amp slow-blow fuse located inside the
fixture. See “Fuse replacement” on page 16 for details of changing fuses.
Power connection
DANGER! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). Power
distribution circuits must be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault)
protection.
Power is supplied to the fixture via a blue Neutrik
NAC3FCA cable connector . P ow er can be relayed to another de vice via the light-grey P o werCon® outlet that
accepts a light-grey PowerCon® NAC3FCB cable connector. Note that blue input and light-grey output
connectors have different designs: one type cannot be connected to the other.
You ma y need to fit the power cab le with a powe r plug that is suitable f or y our A C power outlets . If so, install
a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 20 A minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions.
Table 1 shows some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any
doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

There is no separate power on/off switch: power is applied to the fixture as soon as it is connected to power.
Relaying power to other devices
Important! To avoid blowing the power output fuse, the total current draw of all devices connected to
one fixture’s power outlet must not exceed 15 amps peak, 11 amps constant.
Fixtures can be linked in a chain, power outlet to power inlet, so that they all draw power via the first fixture,
but certain points must be respected:
• Either the supplied power cable or a three-conductor cable rated SJT, 20A minimum (12 AWG or
• Either the supplied power cable or a cable rated SJT, 15 A minimum (AWG 14 or 1.5 mm2) must be used
