Mounting
Mounting the Tripix 300 and 1200
Warning! Tripix 300/1200 fixtures must be mounted on 35 mm (1.4
inch) top-hat profile DIN rail that is securely anchored to a surface.
The installation must conform to local electrical, building, safety
and fire regulations. If there is a danger that a device may cause
injury or damage if it falls, use a means of secondary attachment
such as a safety cable looped around the device and securely
anchored to the mounting surface.
Tripix 300 and 1200 fixtures are designed for mounting on standard 35
mm top-hat DIN rail. You can use standard lengths of 35 mm DIN Rail
or use Martin Short 35 mm DIN rail supplied in 72 mm (2.8 in.) lengths
(P/N 23819560).
Figure 1: Martin Short 35 mm DIN rail
The special Martin DIN Rail can be ordered from Martin (see
“Accessories” in the Specifications section at the back of this manual).
Dimensions for the Martin Short DIN rail are given in Figure 1.
Note that you cannot fasten the Tripix fixture mounting clamps directly
over screws used to fasten DIN rail to the mounting surface. If a DIN
rail mounting screw is in the way of a mounting clamp, move the screw
to another slot in the DIN rail.
To mount a Tripix 300 or 1200 fixture on a surface using 35 mm DIN
rail:
1. Fasten the DIN rail securely to the mounting surface.
2. See Figure 2. The fixture mounting bracket has a hooked profile on

Extending the DMX data link
If you reach the maximum permitted number of Tripix fixtures for the
Tripix power device you are using but you need to add more fixtures,
you must create another group of fixtures connected to another Tripix
Power IP66 to avoid a current overload.
If you want to control or configure all the fixtures together, you must
continue the data link from the last fixture in Group 1 to the “In”
connector of Group 2’s Power Inserter cable (see Figure 18). The “In”
connector of Power Inserter cables only accepts the data signal, so
Groups 1 and 2 are powered independently. You can either:
• Connect the output cable tail of the last fixture in Group 1 directly to

Fixture configuration
To set up Tripix fixtures for DMX control or stand-alone operation, you
will need:
• A Windows PC running the Martin MUM™ (Multi Utility Manager)
application, version 1.6.2 or later.
• A Martin DABS1™ USB/DMX (PC to fixture) hardware interface,
version 1.4 or later.
• The Tripix Power Inserter cable
• A DMX input adapter cable (P/N 11880021), available from Martin.
Configuring with MUM
The Martin MUM™ (Multi-Utility Manager) PC application allows you to
set DMX addresses, DMX mode and pixel mode. It also allows you to
enable and adjust stand-alone operation. See also the MUM user
manual.
MUM is supplied in a package together with the Martin DABS1
interface (P/N: 91611144). The latest version of MUM is also available
for download free of charge from the Martin website at www.martin.com.
Important! We recommend that you set DMX addresses and
configure fixtures before physical installation. If you try to use the
auto-addressing function and MUM does not recognize all fixtures,
address and configure groups or fixtures separately (see “If MUM
cannot recognize all the fixtures” on page 39).
To set up the system:
1. Install Tripix fixtures on a DMX link as described earlier. Do not
forget to add the DMX terminator at the end of the link.
2. Connect a USB port from the PC to DABS1 RJ45 port.
3. Connect the XLR output from the DABS1 to the DMX input adapter
cable and then to the “In” connector of the Power Inserter cable.
4. Connect the output from the Power Inserter cable to the input cable
tail of the first Tripix fixture on the link.
5. Apply power to the Power Inserter cable so that the fixtures on the
link are powered, wait for fixtures to reset, and then start up MUM.
6. Carry out setup as described below.
This procedure also works for one single fixture, provided that a DMX
Termination Plug is installed on the DMX output cable tail of that fixture.

Communicating with a specific fixture
See Figure 25. To communicate with a specific fixture, open the Fixture
Settings window in MUM. Use the navigation arrows just above the
Refresh button near the bottom of the screen to scroll between fixtures.
Fixtures are numbered sequentially from the first fixture on the DMX
link, and the number of the fixture you are communicating with is
displayed above the Reconnect button.
Configuring DMX operation
The Fixture settings window in MUM (see Figure 25) lets you:
• Use the navigation arrows to communicate with a specific fixture
and set that fixture’s DMX address in the DMX Address box, or
• Automatically set DMX addresses for all the Tripix fixtures on the
link using the Auto address sequentially button. Depending on
which DMX Mode and Pixel Mode is selected, MUM will allow from
3 to 16 DMX channels per fixture and allocate DMX addresses in
sequence to all the Tripix fixtures on the link starting with the
address shown in the DMX Address box, or
• Set all the Tripix fixtures on the link to DMX address 1 using the
Reset DMX address to 1 button. If you choose this option, all the
Tripix fixtures will react identically to DMX control and behave as
one.

Single-fixture and synchronized operation
Important! Do not set more than one fixture on a link as host.
In synchr
onized operation, a master fixture playing a stand-alone
program relays instructions via the DMX link that cause client fixtures to
run identical synchronized programs.
Synchronized operation is set up in the Synchronized pull-down box in
the Stand-alone settings window. See Figure 30. Settings are applied
to the fixture you connect to using the navigation arrows.
• In S
ingle Fixture mode, a Tripix runs its own stand-alone program
and ignores all other fixtures.
• In
Master mode, the Tripix sends stand-alone instructions to client
fixtures so that they run an identical program to the master. Colors
and fade/wait times in client fixtures will be identical to the master’s.
Do not set more than one fixture on the DMX link as master.
• In Synchronized mode, the Tripix is a client and obeys instructions
from a master fixture.
• Four buttons also allow you to apply settings to all Tripix fixtures on
the DMX link:
- Set all as single fixture sets all fixtures to run their own stand-
alone program independently of the other fixtures
- Set all as single fixture - synchronized sequence and
timing selections sets all fixtures to run the stand-alone
program you have selected in MUM: scene changes are
synchronized and wait/fade times are identical.
- Set this fixture as master, rest as synchronized sets the
fixture you are connected to as master with the stand-alone

program you have selected in MUM. The other fixtures follow
the master fixture’s stand-alone program.
- Disable stand-alone for all Tripix takes all fixtures out of
standalone mode leaving them ready for DMX control.
Figure 30: Synchronized operation settings
If MUM cannot recognize all the fixtures
If MUM cannot recognize all the fixtures on a DMX link after you have
connected MUM to the start of the link, connect MUM directly to any
group with unrecognized fixtures to configure that group. To connect to
a group, temporarily plug MUM into that group’s Power Inserter cable’s
“In” connector.
If MUM does not recognize all the fixtures in a group, connect MUM
directly to each unrecognized fixture. To connect to a fixture,
temporarily connect a Tripix Power IP66 and Power Inserter cable to
that fixture and plug MUM into the Power Inserter cable’s “In” connector.

Service and maintenance
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before carrying out
service or maintenance work on the Tripix system. Lock out power
to the entire distribution system and allow fixtures to cool before
servicing or opening any cover.
Important! Opening the fixture by anybody else but a Martin
Distributor may damage the IP66 seal and will void the warranty!
Important! The Tripix system requires regular service and
maintenance to maintain reliable operation and protect the
investment it represents. Excessive dirt and particle build-up
degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage Tripix
fixtures and power supply devices. Damage caused by inadequate
cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
The service and maintenance procedures described in this section
must be carried out by qualified professionals only. Any service
procedures not described in this section must be carried out by the
Martin Service organization or its authorized agents.
It is Martin policy to use the best quality materials available to ensure
optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes.
However, optical components in all lighting fixtures are subject to wear
and tear over the life of the Tripix fixture, resulting in gradual changes
in color rendition, for example. The extent of wear and tear depends
heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to
specify precise lifetimes for optical components.
Cleaning
Warning! Do not use a high-pressure water jet for cleaning.
Regular cleaning is essential for fixture life and performance. Build up
of dust and dirt degrades the fixture’s light output and cooling ability.
Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating
environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning
intervals for the Tripix system. Inspect fixtures within their first few
weeks of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again
at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning
requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your Martin
dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.
Clean the Tripix Power IP66 and the Tripix fixture housing and front
cover with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and a mild
detergent such as car shampoo. Take care not to damage cables

during cleaning. Do not use products that contain solvents, abrasives or
caustic agents for cleaning, as they can cause surface damage to the
housing and the front cover.

Diffuser Filters
Important! Install diffuser filter sheets with their matt, textured
surfaces and shiny, untextured surfaces facing as described
below for the individual Tripix models. You can distinguish
between the matt, textured surface and shiny, untextured surface
by touching them with your fingers.
Tripix 300, 1200 and Wash fixtures are supplied with a narrow beam
angle diffuser installed. The diffuser softens the output from the LEDs
and alters the beam angle.
Diffuser filters are available in three different beam angles: narrow,
medium and wide. Diffusers can be ordered from Martin (see
“Accessories” on page 52).
Installing a Tripix 300/1200 diffuser
1. Disconnect the Tripix fixture from power. If the fixture has been in
use, allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes.
2. Remove the fixture from the DIN rail by using a 2.5mm Allen key to
release the mounting clamp screw and then unhooking the
mounting bracket from the DIN rail. Place the fixture on a
horizontal surface with the front cover facing up.
3. Remove the front cover screws and the front cover (See Figure 34).
