Physical installation

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture.

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

Fixture location

Exterior Wash 300 Series fixtures are intended for outdoor use. With an IP rating of 66, they are dust tight
and able to withstand powerful water jets, but they are not submersible.

Observe the following limitations in selecting a location:

• Do not immerse the fixture in water or any other fluid.

• Do not install fixtures in a location where flooding may occur.

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

membrane horizontal so that water can pool on it.

• Ensure sufficient drainage to cope with the heaviest rainfall. Make sure that water can drain away from the
installation area at least as fast as it can enter it.

• Fixtures require free and unobstructed airflow around them to ensure adequate cooling: do not bury or
locate in an unventilated space. Allow at least 0.1 m (4 in.) free space around the fixture.

• Install the fixture at least 0.2 m (8 in.) away from the surface to be illuminated and at least 0.1 m (4 in.)
away from any combustible materials (wood, paper, etc.). Keep it well away from any flammable materials.

• The fixture can become hot. Restrict public access or locate the fixture so that it cannot accidentally be
touched.

Mounting the fixture

Warning! All fasteners used to mount Exterior Wash 300 Series fixtures
must be corrosion resistant and strong enough to mount the fixture
safely.

A washer must be installed directly under the head of each fastener
when anchoring the base of the mounting yoke to the installation
surface.

The fixture and yoke can be mounted at any angle. The yoke allows the fixture to be manually panned and
tilted for beam aiming adjustment.

The fixture and yoke 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 dissimilar metal surface:

● Use an electrically insulating material (such as dense rubber or plastic) or coating between the mounting
yoke 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 yoke.

The fixture’s mounting yoke base must be securely and safely anchored to a stable, static surface,
pedestal, structural beam or other suitable support. Do not stand the fixture unanchored on a surface or
leave it where it can be moved or fall over.

Mounting on a surface

To anchor the mounting yoke to a wall or other flat surface, use three high-strength corrosion-resistant
fasteners that are safe for the application and the environment (recommended minimum properties:
stainless steel A4-70 grade according to ISO 3506 or steel grade 8.8 according to ISO 898-1). Use self­locking nuts. Install washers under all nuts and bolt heads. Make sure that there is a washer between
each fastener and the yoke base. Ensure that the surface and all fasteners used can support 10 times the
weight of all the fixtures and equipment that they will support.

Referring to the illustration below, install a 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter bolt passing through the center
hole A. Then install either two additional 12 mm bolts passing through holes B or two bolts with 8 mm
(5/16 inch) shaft diameter passing through slots C to anchor the fixture. Installing bolts through slots C will

Exterior WashTM 300 Series User Manual 11

give approximately 90° of pan adjustment. If additional bolts are required to mount the fixture safely, install
them passing through slots C or holes B.

Install washers under all nuts and bolt heads.

Figure 1. Mounting yoke base dimensions

Suspending from a truss

In temporary installations, you can suspend the fixture from a rigging truss by means of two rigging clamps
securely fastened through holes B in the yoke base (see illustration above). The fixture must be installed
hanging downwards only.

When using rigging clamps, secure the fixture with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment) that is
approved for the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the fixture if a rigging clamp fails.
Loop the safety cable through the safety cable attachment point on the back of the fixture (see ‘Fixture
overview’ on page 9). Remove as much slack as possible from the safety cable (by looping it more than
once around the truss chord, for example).

Check that the truss and all fasteners used can support 10 times the weight of all the fixtures and
equipment that they will support.

Adjusting 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.

Tilt adjustment can be carried out with the fixture powered on as
follows:

1. Put on heat-resistant gloves.

2. Be prepared for the fixture to move. See illustration on right.
Loosen, but do not remove, the tilt lock screws (arrowed) on
both sides.

3. Tilt the fixture to the desired angle and retighten the screws.
