INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY

Thank you for selecting the Martin Exterior 600. This automated luminaire combines a range of architectural lighting effects with extremely bright output in an attractive aluminum housing designed for permanent outdoor installation.

Safety precautions

The Exterior 600 is not for domestic use. It presents potential risks due to electric shock, heat and ultraviolet radia­tion burns, lamp explosion, falls, high-intensity light, and fire. A thorough understanding of the dangers, genuine con­cern for safety, and attention to detail are required to prevent accidents. Read this manual before powering or installing the fixture, follow the safety precautions listed below and observe the warnings in this manual and printed on the fix ture, and always double check the safety conditions. If you have questions about how to operate the Exterior 600, please contact your Martin dealer for assistance.
ALWAYS disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool for 20 minutes before:
- Changing the transformer or ballast settings
- Installing or removing the lamp
- Checking or replacing fuses
- Removing any cover or part from the fixture
ALWAYS keep combustible materials at least 1 meter (39 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.
For protection against dangerous electric shock, ALWAYS ground (earth) the f ixture electrically. Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes.
-
Replace defective or worn out lamps immediately . Replace working lamps before usa ge exceeds the maxi­mum service life.
ALWAYS use at least one fastener in each of the 4 curved mounting slots in the base.
ALWAYS refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
NEVER illuminate surfaces within 1 meter (39 inches) of the fixture.
NEVER place filters or other materials over the lens or front glass plate.
NEVER operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
NEVER stare directly into the light.
NEVER operate the fixture without all lenses and covers installed: an unshielded lamp emits dangerous UV radiation that can cause burns and eye damage, and it can explode without warning.
NEVER modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin accessories.

1. Isolate the fixture from AC power. If it is hot, allow it to cool for at least 2 minutes before proceeding. The lamp is under high pressure when hot and can explode: use safety goggles to protect your eyes.
2. Remove the nut from the long bolt at the top of the fixture and remove the bolt. Loosen the bot­tom bolt slightly, if necessary, and tilt the rear section back no more than 45° to avoid damaging the electrical conduit beneath the fixture.
3. Remove the 4 Allen screws from the lamp access plate. Remove the access plate and the rub­ber seal.
4. Remove the 2 Phillips screws from the lamp-socket assembly. Gently pull out the assembly.
5. If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket.
6. Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base - do not touch the glass - insert it firmly and squarely
into the lamp socket.
7. Clean the glass bulb with the wipe supplied with the lamp, particularly if your fingers touched the glass. A clean, lint-free cloth wetted with alcohol may also be used.
8. Re-insert the lamp assembly. Replace the 2 Phillips screws.
9. Optimize lamp alignment and then close the fixture as described below.

Optimizing lamp alignment

The lamp holder is adjusted at the factory; precise alignment may be necessary due to slight variations between lamps.
1. Apply power to the fixture and allow it to reset. Strike the lamp.
2. Remove the nut from the long bolt at the top of the fixture and remove the bolt. Tilt the rear sec-
tion back no more than 45° to avoid damaging the electrical conduit beneath the fixture.
3. Remove the 4 Allen screws from the lamp access plate. Remove the access plate and the rub­ber seal.
4. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) by turning the 3 adjustment screws one at a time to move the hot-spot diagonally across the beam. If there is no hot-spot, adjust until the light is even.
5. To reduce the hot-spot, pull the lamp back towards you by turning all three screws clockwise 1/ 4-turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed.
6. If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector. Move the lamp forward by turning the adjustments screws counter clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is bright and evenly distributed.
7. Check the condition of the lamp access seal. Replace with a new one (P/N 20620050) if the seal is torn, cracked or brittle.
8. Place the seal on the back of the lamp access plate. Insert the 4 Allen screws through the plate and install. Tighten the Allen screws with a torque of 3 N.m (2.2 Ft-Lbs). With this torque, the seal will be compressed by about one-third.
9. Tilt the rear section into position and replace the long bolt and lock nut.

AC POWER CONNECTION

The Exterior 600 is available with a power supply for operation at 200/230/245 V, 50 Hz and 208/227 V, 60 Hz; and with a special transformer for operation at 277 V, 60 Hz. This section describes how to tap the power supply for the local AC voltage and frequency and how to connect the Exterior 600 to AC power.
Do not connect the Exterior 600 to an electrical dimmer system: doing so can damage the electronics.
Warning The fixture is supplied with a weatherproof power cable. However, note that if
there is a breach or cut at any point along the power cable (for example at a connection point), and if this is exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cables due to the vacuum effect from the heat generated during operation. When installing the product outdoors, always ensure that the fixture is protected from water ingression from inside its power cable by:
• Protecting the connectors on the power cables in a weatherproof housing, or a weatherproof electrical junction box, or
• Using IP65 rated cord caps, or
• Replacing the supplied cable with one that connects directly inside the fixture.
IMPORTANT!
Check voltage and frequency settings before applying power.

Tapping the power supply

Verify settings
The voltage and frequency settings must match the local AC power supply! The factory-set power supply tappings are printed on the serial number label on the back plate. Operating at the incorrect power setting can result in poor light output, greatly reduced lamp life, overheating and damage to the fixture. If the setting does not match your local AC voltage and frequency, then the power supply must be retapped as described below.

DATA CONNECTION

This section describes how to connect fixtures to a controller and other devices, and how to terminate the data link. For data connection, the Exterior 600 has
Pin 1: shield Pin 2: signal - (cold) Pin 3: signal + (hot)

Recommended cable

Use only cable designed for RS-485 devices. The cable shall be suitable for outdoor use. It shall have low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 ohms. It shall be electrically shielded and have at least 1 twisted pair of wires. The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm (24 AWG) for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) and 0.322 mm (26 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft.).
Warning! The fixture is not supplied with a weatherproof XLR connectors. If these
connectors are exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cables due to the vacuum effect from the heat generated during operation. When installing the product outdoors, always ensure that the fixture is protected from water ingression from inside its data cable by:
a dual 1.8 meter (5.9 ft.) 24 AWG cable with locking 3-pin XLR connectors.
DATA PIN-OUT
• Protecting the connectors on the data cable in a weatherproof housing (or a weatherproof electrical junction box), or
• Using IP65 rated XLR cable and connectors (such as those produced by Neutrik), or
• Replacing the supplied cable with one that connects directly inside the fixture.

Building the data link

To connect the controller
1. DMX controllers: Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. If the cable has a 3-pin male
plug and the controller has a 5-pin female socket, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N
11820005) or replace the 3-pin plug with a 5-pin pl ug. The pin-out is the same for 3-pin and 5-pin plugs. Pins 4 and 5 are not used.
Martin RS-485 protocol controllers (3032): First, connect a 3-pin “swapper” cable (P/N 11820006) to the controller’s data output; then, connect a regular data cable to the swapper cable. A swapper cable connects pin 2 to pin 3 and pin 3 to pin 2.
2. If the controller is located in a central position between 2 or more fixtures, you may split the link into branches using a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier. Do not use a “Y” connector to split the link.
3. Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture. Plug the cable into the fixture cable with the male XLR connector. If the cable from the controller has a 5-pin plug, replace it with a 3­pin plug or insert a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005).
To connect additional fixtures
1. Connect the output (female) of the fixture closest to the controller to the input (male) of the next fixture.
(If connecting to another type of fixture with reversed-polarity (pin 3 cold), such as the P AL 1200, insert a swapper cable between the two fixtures.)
2. Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to 32 fixtures may be connected on a serial link. If more fixtures are required, use another controller output, if available, or an RS-485 amplifier.
10 Exterior 600
Page 11

Terminating the link

Link termination is achieved by inserting a 120 ohm resistor across the signal + (hot) and signal - (cold) wires; it is important for trouble-free communication. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
The easiest way to terminate the link is to insert a male termination plug into the data output cable of the last fixture . A termination plug is simply an XLR connector with a 120 ohm resistor soldered across pins 2 and 3.
Permanent link termination can be achieved by placing a 120 ohm resistor across the terminals for the hot and cold data wires on the connection block inside the electronics section.

section 5

INSTALLATION

This section briefly describes how to anchor the Exterior 600. The Exterior 600’s base allows the fixture to manually be panned 50° and tilted +/- 40°.
It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the anchoring method.

Location and orientation

The Exterior 600 may be installed outdoors, in any orientation. It shall be located at least 1 meter (39 in.) away from the surface to be illuminated and any combustible materials. The aluminum housing reaches temperatures up to 80° C (176° F): the fixture should not be located where it can accidentally be touched.
To achieve the full tilt range, the fixture must be installed on a pedestal at least 12 cm (4.7 in) long. To achieve the full pan range, the fixture must be anchored with 4 fasteners that can be loosened, spaced at 90° intervals as described below.
The Exterior 600 requires free-circulating air for cooling. Do not locate the fixture in an unventilated space.
NOTICE!

Fastener spacing and type

Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed
fixtures. Use at least one fastener in each of the 4 curved mounting slots.
The fixture is designed to be anchored with four 10 mm (3/8 in.) bolts. Additional bolts may be used but the pan range will be reduced. Evenly space the bolts at 90° intervals, centered on a 170 mm (6 and 11/16 in.) circle, so that one bolt passes through each curved slot in the foot of the base.
The specific hardware will depend on the installation. Consult a qualified engineer to determine a suitable anchoring method and to verify that the structure can safely bear at least 10 times the fixture’s weight. In general, use high quality corrosion resistant fasteners such as zinc-plated steel, grade 8.8 or better, together with either self-locking nuts or nuts and lock-washers.

Adjusting pan and tilt

1. To adjust the pan, loosen the anchor bolts slightly so that the fixture can turn. Manually adjust the pan
position and retighten the bolts.
2. To adjust the tilt, loosen both tilt locks on either side of the base. Position the fixture and retighten the tilt lock nuts.

ADDRESS, SETTINGS, AND SOFTWARE

This section describes how to set the fixture address and other settings, calibrate effects, run a test routine, and install software updates. The effects of personality settings are described in section 8.

About uploaders

Settings are changed using a Martin uploader (MPBB1 or MP2) that has been loaded with the Exterior 600’s control software, which is available for download from the Martin web site, and connected to the fixture or the data link. The software version loaded in the fixture and the uploader must be the same. Note: Software for the standard Exterior 600 (files named “EX600XXX.MU3”) is not the same as for the Exterior 600 Compact (files named “EX60CXXX.MU3”). Be sure to install the correct software in the uploader before use.
The uploader has 2 modes: single-fixture, where it sends instructions only to the fixture at a specific address; and all­fixtures, where it sends to all same-type fixtures on the link. Communication is one-way; from the uploader to the fix ture, so there is no way to read the address or settings. There is, however, a utility for finding fixture addresses. Please see the uploader manual for additional instructions.
To set fixtures via the serial link
To change settings on all Exterior 600s at the same time, connect the uploader to the data link and use all-fixtures mode. If you set the address in all-fixtures mode, all Exterior 600s will be set to the same address.
To change the settings of an individual fixture via the serial link, use single-fixture mode. The fixture’s address must be

General procedure for changing stand-alone settings

1. Plug the fixture’s data input cable (male) into the 3-pin “DMX/RS-485 OUT” socke t on the MPBB1. Dis-
connect the data output cable if it is connected to other fixtures.
2. Apply power to the fixture and the MPBB1.
3. Select FIXT from the MPBB1 menu. Press [Enter].
4. Select dMX. Press [Enter].
5. Select ALL. Press [Enter].
6. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the desired menu item. Press [Enter] to select the item or sub-
menu, or press [Menu] to escape.
7. When all the settings have been made, disconnect the data input cable from the MPBB1. Recon­nect the output cable to the data link or next fixture if applicable.

Programming a single fixture

To enable or disable stand-alone mode
1. To enable stand-alone mode, switch SA/ENAb to ON.
2. Tur n the fixture off. Stand-alone operation is enabled when you turn the fixture back on.
3. Stand-alone mode can be disabled temporarily by turning the fixture off, or, if connected to a
controller, by sending control signals. Stand-alone operation resumes when the fixture has been turned off and then turned back on again.
4. To per manently disable stand-alone mode, switch SA/ENAb to OFF.
To set the trigger and internal clock
Stand-alone operation can be set for a time of day, using the built-in clock, or for a light level, using the built-in light sensor. If both the clock and the light sensor are used, operation starts, within the times set, as soon as it is darker than the light-level setting. Operation stops at the stop tim e or when the ambie nt ligh t i s bright er than the light-l evel se tting, whichever comes first.
To avoid false triggering by s udden light changes, for example from automobile headlights, the light level must remain above or below the trigger threshold for 5 minutes.
1. To use the light trigger, set SA/LITE/ENAb to ON. Then navigate to SA/LITE/LEV and select a trigger level from the current light level.
2. To use the clock, set SA/TIME/ENAb to ON. Navigate to SA/TIME/STRT/HOUR and select the start hour from
0 (darkest) to 255 (brightest). The light toggles on and off as you scroll past
0 (midnight) to 23 (11 PM), then set SA/TIME/STRT/MIN from
0 to 59. Set the stop hour and minute with SA/TIME/STOP/HOUR and SA/TIME/ STOP/MIN
3. To set the correct time, set TIME/HOUR to the correct hour, using 24-hour time, and set
.
TIME/MIN to the correct minute.
To program stand-alone effects
1. Set a wait time from 1 second to 1 hour using SA/WAIT. This is the time a color is applied.
2. Set the fade time from 0 to 60 seconds using SA/FAdE. The fade time is the time it takes to change
from one color to another. If the fade time and w ait time are the same, the colors change continuously .
3. Set the minimum and maximum amount of cyan to use in the random color mix from 0 (none) to 255 (full) with to the maximum value. Setting both values to 0 excludes the color from the mix and setting them to 255 causes the color to be fully applied all the time.
4. Similarly, set the minimum and maximum levels of magenta and yellow.
5. Apply the frost filter if desired wi th SA/FROS.
6. Set the zoom level using SA/ZOOM. 0 = full flood and 255 = full spot.
SA/CMIN and SA/CMAX. Note: The minimum value must be less than or equal
21 Stand-alone Operation
Page 22

Synchronizing stand-alone operation

Synchronous stand-alone operation of several Exterior 600s may be achieved by linking them together and using the master/slave function in which one unit - only - transmits control signals to the others. S tandard Exterio r 600s are com patible with Compact models in master/slave configuration. If both types are used, select one of the standard Exterior 600s to be the master fixture if you want to use the frost and/or zoom options.
To link and terminate fixtures
Synchronous operation requires that the fixtures be connected on a data link.
Terminating the link on both ends is recommended when there is no controller. To terminate the first fixture, plug a 3­pin female XLR plug with a 120 ohm resistor soldered across pins 2 and 3 into its input (male) cable. To terminate the last fixture, plug a 3-pin male XLR plug with a 120 ohm resistor across pins 2 and 3 into its output (female) cable.
To select and program the master fixture
No more than one fixture may be the master. Any fixture on the link, however, regardless of its position, may be the master, so select the fixture that is easiest to access.
1. Program the master fixture as described above for single fixtures.
2. Switch SA/MAST to ON. This causes the master fixture to transmit control signals to the
slaves.
To program slave fixtures
A slave fixture must be set up in DMX mode 1 or 2, automatic protocol detection (AUTO) must be turned off, and it must have one of the DMX addresses listed below. See “To set mode and address with MPBB1 in all-fixtures mode” on page 14 if you need to change the settings.
-
The DMX address determines how the slave’s color relates to the master’s color. The slave’s stand-alone settings must be disabled so it can controlled by the master fixture.
1. Connect the input of the slave fixture to the output of the MPBB1. Disconnect the fixture’s output from the serial link.
2. Using the MPPB1, switch SA/ENAb to OFF. This disables the other stand-alone settings.
3. Navigate to dAdr and set the slave address to 1, 13, 25, 37, 49, or 61. No other addresses
may be used for slave fixtures. Set the address to 1 to have the slave execute the same color as the master. Set the address to 13, 25, 37, 49, or 61 to have the slave execute a different color. The color relationship for each address is shown in the table of stand-alone settings.
4. Disconnect the MPBB1 and reconnect the data link.
5. Tur n the fixture off. The stand-alone settings take effect when the fixture is turned back on.

CONTROLLER OPERATION

This section describes the Exterior 600’s control modes, effects, and the personality options available for customizing them. The LED display and cold weather operation are also covered.

Martin RS-485 control

The Exterior 600 is controllable with the Martin 3032 controller. Though the Exterior 600 is not implemented in the 3032 software, it may be set up in the controller as a MAC 600. Use the beam-shaper 1 control to operate the zoom.
For the fixture to respond, either the protocol setting must be set to Martin (PSET > MART), or automatic protocol detection must be enabled (

DMX-512 control

The Exterior 600 is can be controlled by any USITT DMX-512 (1990) protocol controller. The controller must send a start code of 0 at the beginning of every packet.
Tracking versus vector control
The Exterior 600 has 2 DMX control modes: tracking and tracking/vector control. Tracking/vector control contains all features of both modes and is recommended if there is room for the additional DMX channel.
With tracking control, fades are programmed using the controller’s fade time. The controller divides the fade into small pieces that the fixture “tracks.” The Exterior 600 has a digital filter algorithm that averages several updates to ensure smooth movement.
SPEC > AUTO > ON).
Vector control provides a way to program fades on controllers without programmable fade times. With vector control, instead of breaking up the movement into many small positions, the controller sends one position value along with a speed value that is programmed on a separate channel. Vector control may provide smoother fades than tracking con trol with some controllers, particularly on very slow fades.
Switching control modes (mode 2 only)
Refer to the DMX protocol for channel 9, the speed channel, on page 28. To enable tracking control in tracking/vector mode (mode 2), set channel 9 to “Tracking” (DMX 0 - 2). To switch to vector control, set the controller’s fader (if applicable) to 0 and set a speed using the DMX values from 3 to 245. Tracking control can also be enabled with or without shortcuts, regardless of the personality setting, with the DMX values from 246 to 251.
You may switch between tracking and vector control, but you cannot use them both at the same time. When using tracking control, set the speed channel to a tracking value. When using vector control, set the controller fade time to 0.
Blackout speed (mode 2 only)
The Exterior 600 features a special “blackout speed” for the color wheel and beam shaper. When “Blackout while moving is selected” on channel 9, the shutter closes while the color wheel and/or beam shaper moves at full speed.
Blackout speed does not apply to the dimmer, CMY wheels, or the zoom module. If DMX values from 252 - 255 are selected, these effects “sna p” at full speed but the shutter remains open.

Operating the lamp

Lamp on
With the default setting, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is sent from the controller. To have the lamp strike automatically within 90 seconds of powering on, switch the Automatic Lamp On personality to on (
ALON > ON).
-
SPEC >
A large peak of electric current is drawn for an instant when striking a discharge lamp. Striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps from striking and/or trip circuit breakers. When striking mul­tiple lamps, program a sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.
If Automatic Lamp On is enabled, there is a delay of up to 90 seconds that is determined by the fixture address.
23 Controller Operation
Page 24
Lamp off
The lamp can be turned off from the controller by sending a “lamp off” command on channel 1. If the DMX Lamp Off personality is off (SPEC > dLOF > OFF), the command only works if each of the CMY channels (3, 4, and 5) is set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.
After being turned off, the lamp must cool for at least 8 minutes before it can be turned back on. “Lamp on” commands sent within 8 minutes of a “lamp off” command are stored and then executed after the time has elapsed.

Operating the mechanical effects

The mechanical effects reset to their “home” position when the Exterior 600 is powered on. They can also be reset from the controller on channel 1. If the DMX Reset personality is off (SPEC > dRES > OFF), the reset command only works if each of the CMY channels is set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.
An on-the-fly position correction system automatically corrects the position of the effect wheels. This feature can be disabled by turning effects feedback off (SPEC > EFFb > OFF), but this is not recommended.
Color wheel
The color wheel has red, green, and blue dichroic color filters plus a 5600K to 3400K color correction filter and open white. It may be used together with CMY color mixing to increase color saturation. The wheel scrolls continuously, allowing for split-color effects, or in full steps. It also rotates continuously in both directions at different speeds.
The Shortcuts (SPEC > SCUT) setting determines whether the wheel takes the shortest path to the next position or turns in one direction only. The setting may be overridden on the speed channel in mode 2.
Setting the color speed to “blackout” in mode 2 causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel moves.
CMY subtractive color mixing
The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color filters. A continuous range of mixed colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%. Note that mixing 3 colors results in a loss of light - the light is blacked out when all 3 colors are fully applied. For maximum brightness, mix only 2 col ors at a time.
The Shortcuts (SCUT) setting determines whether the wh ee ls take the s hortest path to the next position or turn in one direction only. The setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode.
Dimmer
The mechanical dimmer provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming.
Shutter
The high-speed mechanical shutter opens and closes the light instantly. Light can be flashed at up to 8 Hz and there is a DMX-callable random strobe function.
If the auto shutter function is enabled (SPEC > ASHT > ON), the shutte r, which is faster than the dimmer , a utomat­ically closes when the dimmer receives a command to close “instantly,” to provide faster blackouts.
Zoom
The Fresnel lens may be driven forwards or backwards to vary the size of the beam. The zoom function has little effe ct with the optional 65° diffuser lens installed.
Beam shaper and frost
The beam shaper flattens and widens the beam into an oval, which rotates 90°.
-
The frost filter softens the beam. As it is on the same wheel as the beam shaper, the 2 effects cannot be combined.
The beam shaper and frost have little effect wh en used with the optional 65° diffuser lens.

Cold weather operation

When the temperature is expected to fall below freezing, the electronics must be kept warm by leaving the fixture on. The lamp, however, may be swi tched off.

BASIC SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

This section describes additional service procedures. Procedures not described shall be referred to a qualified technician.
WARNING!
Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing any cover.

Opening and closing the electronics section

1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power.
2. To open, remove the 10 Allen screws from the rear cover plate.
Pull off the plate and seal.
3. Before closing, check the condition of the seal. Replace with a new one (P/N 20600020) if the seal is torn, cracked or brittle.
4. To close, insert the Allen screws through all holes in the cover and seal. Place the cover firmly against the body. Adjust the straight sides of the seal so that they stick out a little bit, just enough so that you can feel the seal when you run a finger across the joint.
5. Cross-tighten the cover bolts with a torque of 3 N.m (2.2 Ft-Lbs). With this torque, the seal will be compressed by about one-third.
Fuse
Ballast
Trans­former

Replacing fuses

The Exterior 600 has 4 fuses. The main fuse is located in a fuse holder inside the electronics section, to the left of the ballast. The fuses for each of the 3 low-voltage power supplies are located on the printed circuit board.
1. Make sure the Exterior 600 is isolated from AC power. Open the electronics section.
2. To remove the printed circuit board from the fixture, remove 2 screws from the aluminum bracket
and pull the board out.
3. Locate and replace the defective fuse with one of the same size and rating.
4. Close the electronics section before applying power.

Changing lenses

There are 3 front lenses for the Exterior 600. The standard lens provides a beam angle of 22° to 38°, where the edge of the beam is the circle with 10 percent of the center intensity. The optional narrow angle lens provides a beam angle of 18° to 25°. The optional wide angle diffuser “lens” provides a 65° beam angle.
1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the front aluminum plate - not the glass - by removing the 10 Allen screws.
2. The lens assembly is secured by 3 brackets along the rim. Remove 2 of the brackets and slide the lens out.
3. If replacing the narrow or standard Fresnel lens with the wide angle diffuser lens, completely remove all 3 rim brackets and store them together with the lens. The diffuser is secured with the rim brackets (P/N 17200280) that are included in the kit.
4. Position the new lens on the zoom module. Replace the rim brackets.
5. Before closing, check the condition of the seal. Replace with a new one (P/N 20600020) if the seal is torn, cracked or brittle.
6. To replace the front plate, inser t the Allen screws through all holes in the plate and seal. Place the plate firmly against the body. Adjust the straight sides of the seal so that they stick out a little bit, just enough so that you can feel the seal when you run a finger across the joint.
26 Exterior 600
Page 27
7. Cross-tighten the Allen screws with a torque of 3 N.m (2.2 Ft-Lbs). With this torque, the seal will be compressed by about one-third.

Maintaining the seal

The Exterior 600 has an IP rating of 65: it is protected against dust and can withstand low pressure water jets. To main­tain protection against dust and water:
1. Replace any seal that becomes brittle or shows visible signs of wear.
2. Verify that seals are flush with, or protrude slightly above, the surface of the aluminum covers.
3. Verify that cable pass-through fittings are tightened both to the casing and the cable.
4. Tighten the end plates and the lamp access plate with a torque of 3 N.m (2.2 Ft-Lbs). With this
torque, the seals will be compressed by about one-third.

Cleaning the housing

The Exterior 600’s aluminum housing can be cleaned with mild detergents such as those for washing cars.
1. Disconnect the fixture and allow it to cool.
2. Visually check that the seals are in good condition.
3. Rinse off loose dirt with a garden hose or low pressure water spray.
4. Wash the aluminum using a mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
5. Rinse.

Changing the mains lead

The mains lead may be replaced with a longer or heavier gauge cable if necessary. The pass-through fitting seals around cables from 3.5 to 9.8 mm (5/32 - 3/8 in.) in diameter.
1. Make sure the Exterior 600 is isolated from AC power. Remov e the 10 Allen scre ws from the rear cover plate. Pull off the plate and seal.
2. Remove the 2 screws from the aluminum circuit-board bracket and pull the circuit board out.
3. Unplug the power cable’s brown lead from the back of the main fuse holder. Remove the green/
yellow lead from the grounding bolt located above the ballast. Disconnect the blue lead from the connection block located in front of the transformer.
4. Loosen the large outer nut on the mains lead pass-through fitting. Cut zip ties as necessary and pull the mains lead out of the fixture. Transfer the outer pass-through nut to the new cable and then insert the new cable through the fitting. Pull the cable into the fixture and cut to 52 cm (20 in.) from the inside of the pass-through.
5. Remove 28 cm (11 in.) of outer insulation. Lead the cable between the fuse holder and housing.
6. Install a 6.3 mm (1/4 in.) insulated female spade terminal on the live lead (brown), and plug the
lead into the back of the main fuse holder.
7. Install a ring terminal on the ground lead (green/yellow), place the terminal on the grounding bolt over the ballast, and replace the nut.
8. Strip 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from the neutral lead (blue) and screw the lead into the neutral terminal of the connection block in front of the transformer.
9. Replace the printed circuit board. Bundle the wires together as before with zip ties.
10. Verify that both nuts on the pass-through fitting are tight. Check the condition of the seal for the
back cover. Replace with a new one (P/N 20600020) if the seal is torn, cracked or brittle.
11. Insert the Allen screws through all holes in the cover and seal. Place the cover firmly against the body. Adjust the straight sides of the seal so that they stick out a little bit, just enough so that you can feel the seal when you run a finger across the joint.
12. Cross-tighten the cover bolts. The correct torque for these bolts is 3 N.m (2.2 Ft-Lbs). With this torque, the seal will be compressed by about one-third.
