Protection from electric shock

Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power before carrying out any
installation or maintenance work, such as inserting a color filter,
and when the fixture is not in use.

Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground
(earth).

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

Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the
fixture with power must be located near the lighting fixture and
easily accessible so that the lighting fixture can easily be
disconnected from power.

Replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and
rating only.

Isolate the fixture from power immediately if the power plug or
any seal, cover, cable, or other component is damaged,
defective, deformed, wet or showing signs of overheating. Do
not reapply power until repairs have been completed.

Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution
equipment and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the

RUSH FiberSource 1™ User Manual

electrical requirements of all connected devices.

Use only Neutrik PowerCon cable connectors to connect to the
fixture’s power sockets.

Do not connect devices to power in a chain that will exceed the
electrical ratings of any cable or connector used in the chain.

The supplied power input cable is rated 6 A and can safely
supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any
device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT connector when using this
cable. If you replace this cable and also use the replacement
cable to supply only one fixture with mains power, the
replacement cable must also be rated 6 A minimum, have three
conductors 18 AWG or 0.75 mm² minimum conductor size,
have an outer cable diameter of 6 - 15 mm (0.2 - 0.6 in.) and be
temperature-rated to suit the application. In the USA and
Canada the cable must be UL listed, type SJT or equivalent. In
the EU the cable must be type H05VV-F or equivalent.

To connect fixtures to mains power in a chain, you must first
obtain 14 AWG or 1.5 mm

2

power input and throughput cables
that are 16 A rated and temperature-rated to suit the
application. In the USA and Canada the cables must be UL­listed, type SJT or equivalent. In the EU the cables must be
type H05VV-F or equivalent. Suitable cables with Neutrik
PowerCon connectors are available from Martin™ (see
‘Accessories’ on page 32). If you use these cables, you can
connect fixtures to power in a linked chain, MAINS OUT
throughput socket to MAINS IN input socket, but do not link
more than fifteen (15) RUSH FiberSource 1 fixtures in total.
The voltage and frequency at the MAINS OUT socket are the
same as the voltage and frequency applied to the MAINS IN
socket. Only connect devices to the MAINS OUT socket that
accept this voltage and frequency.

Protection from burns and fire

Do not use the fixture to illuminate surfaces within 0.2 m (8 in.)
of the fixture.

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

The surface of the product casing can reach up to 46° C (115°
F) during operation. Avoid contact by persons and materials.
Allow the fixture to cool for at least 60 minutes before handling.

RUSH FiberSource 1™ User Manual

Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture. Keep all
combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.1 m
(4 in.) away from the fixture.

Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the
fixture. Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 m (4 in.) around
fans and air vents.

Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.

Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any optical
component.

Protection from eye injury

The light from the LED lamp is possibly hazardous and may be
harmful to the eyes. Do not stare directly at operating lamp.
Operate only as intended with a fiber optic cable inserted in the
fiber optic port.

Do not look at the light output with magnifiers, telescopes,
binoculars or similar optical instruments that may concentrate
the light output.

Ensure that persons are not looking directly into the LEDs
when the product lights up suddenly. This can happen when
power is applied or when the product receives a DMX signal.

To minimize the risk of eye irritation or injury, disconnect the
fixture from power at all times when the fixture is not in use,
and provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of
anyone working on or near the fixture.

Protection from injury

Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when
in use. The fixture is not portable when installed.

Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can
hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.

If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the fixture with
two rigging clamps. Do not use safety cables as the primary
means of support. Install as directed in this manual a
secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold the
fixture if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment
must be approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety
attachment for the weight that it secures, must comply with

RUSH FiberSource 1™ User Manual

7

EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and must be capable of bearing
a static suspended load that is ten times the weight of the
fixture and all installed accessories.

Check that all external covers, rigging hardware, and the fiber
optic cable are securely fastened.

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

In the event of an operating problem, stop using the fixture
immediately and disconnect it from power. Never attempt to
use a fixture that is obviously damaged.

Physical installation

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

The fixture is designed for indoor use only and must be
used in a dry location with adequate ventilation. Ensure that
the fixture’s fan and ventilation slots are not blocked. Install
at least 0.1 meters (4 in.) away from combustible materials
(e.g. fabric, wood, paper) and well away from flammable
materials.

Fasten the fixture to a secure structure or surface. Do not
stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall
over. If clamp mounting, secure it as directed in this user
manual using a securely anchored safety cable that will hold
the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.

Martin™ can supply safety cables and rigging clamps that are suitable for
use with the fixture (see ‘Accessories’ on page 32 ).

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface

The fixture can be permanently installed with a minimum of four fasteners
(screws or bolts) to a hard, stable, flat surface that is oriented at any
angle. Ensure that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of
all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

Fasten through the grommets in the screw-mount points on the base
flange using four suitable fasteners 5 mm (3/16 in.) in diameter and four
10 mm (3/8 in.) metal fender washers. Place the washers on the fasteners
before inserting the fasteners through the mounting holes.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging
structure in any orientation with 2 mounting clamps. When
installing the fixture hanging vertically below the truss, you
can use open-type clamps such as G-clamps. When
installing in any other orientation, you must use half-coupler
clamps (see illustration on right) that completely encircle
the truss chord.
