the light beam.
Warning! Refer
to user
documentation
before
installing,
powering or
servicing.
Safety information 9
• Ensure that the system is electrically connected to ground (earth) as
described in this guide.
• Either power outlet sockets or hard-wired circuits that incorporate power
on/off switches must be used to supply the system with power. Power
plugs and/or power on/off switches must be easily accessible so that
the system can be isolated from power quickly.
• Provide a means of locking out power (ensure that power can be shut
down and is impossible to reapply, even accidentally) during service.
• Connect the PSU to AC mains power and relay power from one PSU to
another using only 3-conductor neoprene- or hypalon-jacket cable that
is heat resistant to minimum 90° C (194° F), rated minimum 16 amps,
approved for the installation environment (UV, temperature, outdoor
use, etc.) and has an external diameter of 6 12 mm (0.24 0.47 inch).
In North America the power cable must be type SJO or type SOOW,
minimum 16/3 AWG and rated minimum 300 VAC. In the EU the cable
must be minimum 2.5 mm² conductor size and HAR approved or
equivalent.
• Use only hybrid (combined power and data) luminaire cables installed
in Luminaires by Martin™ or its authorized agents to connect
Luminaires. If the 3 m (9.8 ft.) luminaire cable supplied pre-installed is
too short, extend it only with the extension cable kit available from
Martin™.
• Use only the hybrid (combined power and data) Splitter cables supplied
by Martin for the products concerned to connect a PSU to Splitters and
to connect Splitters to each other.
• Do not connect the system to power unless all cable glands are sealed
by either a cable or a blanking plug installed as described in this guide.
• Before using the system, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition, rated for the current requirements of
all connected devices, protected to IP68 or higher and of suitable type
for the location (including water, pollution, temperature and UV
resistance).
• Protect all external connections inside suitable waterproof junction
boxes or as required by local laws, regulations or codes. Ensure that
the ends of cables cannot come into contact with water or moisture, as
the vacuum created in devices during cooldowns can suck moisture up
cable.
• Isolate the system from power immediately if any device, cable, cable
gland or power plug is in any way damaged or defective, or if there are
any signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until the fault has been
rectified.
• Do not operate the system if any cover or component is missing,
damaged or deformed.
• Shut down power to the system when it is not in use.

General information 13
General information
Before you start installing the Exterior 50 & 100 system:
• Read the ”Safety information” section starting on page 8 carefully.
• Read this ”General information” section carefully to familiarize yourself
with system layout principles and installation procedure.
• Check that you have all the components you will need, including hybrid
cable for Splitters and PSUs that can be ordered from Martin™.
• Check that the local AC mains power voltage is within the range shown
on the PSU’s serial number label.
• Make sure that you have a plan of the installation.
Components in the system
The Exterior 50 & 100 system includes four types of device:
• The Exterior 50™, an IP68-rated LED washlight Luminaire.
• The Exterior 100™, an IP68-rated LED washlight Luminaire.
• The Exterior 50 & 100 PSU, a Power Supply Unit in an IPX7-rated
housing that supplies the Exterior 50 & 100 system with 30 VDC power.
The PSU also relays DMX and RDM (Remote Device Management)
data from a controller console or PC running controller software to the
system.
• The Exterior 50 & 100 Splitter, a power/data splitter device housed in an
IP65-rated junction box. The junction box can be waterproofed to IP68
by applying a sealing compound available from Martin™. Splitters relay
30 VDC power as well as DMX and RDM data to Luminaires and other
Splitters.
All luminaires are available in RGBW, CW (cool white), NW (neutral white)
and WW (warm white) options. The Exterior 100 is available in narrow
and medium-angle options.
Hybrid (power and data) cable from Martin™ must be used to connect
PSUs and Splitters. Hybrid cable is ordered separately.
A range of accessories for the system is available from Martin™ (see
”Accessories” on page 79).
System power: general
The system is powered by connecting the Exterior 50 & 100 PSU to AC
mains power.
14 Martin Professional™ Exterior 50 & 100™ system user manual
System control: general
The Exterior 50 & 100 system can be:
• controlled using a DMX control device or PC application,
• set up and controlled using a PC running the Martin M-PC™ RDM-
compliant Windows application via a Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX
interface box, or
• set up and programmed to display a single default scene using the
infrared remote control unit available as an accessory from Martin™.
Data link
The DMX (and RDM if used) data signal from a DMX controller or PC must
be sent to the PSU via a data link that conforms to DMX512-A
specifications.
• Use DMX cable for the data link (microphone cable does not have the
correct impedance).
• You must normally create the data link from the control device to the
PSU as one single daisy chain (i.e. you must not split the data link into a
‘Y’), but you can split the DMX data link into up to five branches if you
use an amplifier/splitter such as the optically isolated Martin DMX 5.3
Splitter (P/N 90758140) or Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter (P/N 90758150)
installed in a dry location.
• You must connect only one PSU directly to the DMX OUT data
throughput in a PSU (but you can connect one daisy chain of PSUs in
which each PSU is connected to the previous PSU’s s DMX OUT data
throughput).
• You must connect only one Splitter or one Luminaire directly to one
OUTPUT hybrid output in a PSU (but you can connect one daisy chain
of Splitters and Luminaires).
• Do not connect more than one Splitter (or one Luminaire) to the three-
way data output quick-lock terminal block marked GND, DMX-, DMX+
and two-way 30 VDC output screw terminals marked +U and -U in a
Splitter.
• Do not connect more than one Luminaire to the four-way hybrid output
quick-lock terminal block marked DMX-, DMX+, +U, -U from a Splitter.
Two simple rules are:
• You can split the data link before a PSU using an amplifier/splitter
device, as stated above, but do not split the hybrid power and data
cable link after the PSU into a ‘Y’.
• Do not connect more than one device or more than one daisy chain to
one output from another device, because this will split the link into a ‘Y’.
General information 15
In the Exterior 50 & 100 system, the data signal can be relayed from the
PSU to either:
• two Luminaires directly via their hybrid (power and data) luminaire
cables (see Figure 2 on page 18)
• a chain of Exterior 50 & 100 Splitters via hybrid Splitter cables and then
sent to Luminaires via their luminaire cables (see Figure 3 on page 19)
• other PSUs by continuing the DMX link using DMX cable (see Figure 4
on page 21).
Exterior 50 & 100 PSUs and Splitters do not amplify or process the data
signal when they relay it.
If you are in any doubt about how to install, set up or use DMX with the
Exterior 50 & 100 system, your Martin supplier will be happy to provide
guidance.
Data link DMX termination
Each time you end a data link to a PSU, a single Splitter or a daisy-chain
of Splitters (i.e. you do not continue that link to another PSU or Splitter),
you must terminate the data link by connecting a DMX line terminator
across the data +ve (hot) and -ve (cold) conductors in the last PSU or
Splitter on the link to absorb reflections that can disturb the data signal.
Enough DMX terminators for all possible configurations are supplied with
PSUs and Splitters.

• Splitters can be used to link Luminaires to a PSU until the maximum
safe number of Luminaires per PSU output or per PSU is reached (see
”System layout limits” on page 16).
• The hybrid Splitter cables and luminaire cables used for internal system
connections carry both 30 VDC power and control data:
- Links from PSUs to Splitters, and links between Splitters, must use
the hybrid Splitter cable available from Martin™ in various lengths
(see ”Accessories” on page 79).
- Links to Luminaires must use the hybrid luminaire cable that is
supplied pre-installed in Luminaires. A 3 m (9.8 ft.) length is supplied.
If this is not long enough, please consult your Martin™ supplier for
assistance. Custom lengths up to a maximum safe limit of 13 m
(42.6 ft.) are available. Luminaire cables must be installed by Martin™
or its authorized agents.
General information 23
Installing a cable in a cable gland
All cable entries and exits in the Exterior 50 & 100 system use IP68 cable
glands to ensure that system components are sealed against water and
dust. When you install cable in PSUs and Splitters, you must follow the
instructions in this section carefully to ensure a correct seal.
To install a cable in a cable gland in a device in the Exterior 50 & 100
system:
1. If necessary, prepare the cable as described in the relevant sections
of this guide.
2. See Figure 5. Loosen – but do not remove – compression nut F on the
cable gland. Pass the cable through the gland D and cable entry C
until the cable jacket has passed completely through the cable gland
assembly. The cable should be a sliding fit in the gland.
3. Make wiring connections in the device as described in the relevant
sections of this guide.
4. Check that wiring is routed so that it is not stressed, then hold cable
entry C to prevent the cable gland assembly from rotating and tighten
compression nut F firmly enough to ensure a waterproof seal.

Installing a blanking plug in an unused cable gland
All unused cable glands in the Exterior 50 & 100 system must be sealed
with blanking plugs to prevent the entry of water and dust. Enough suitably
sized blanking plugs are supplied with PSUs and Splitters to cover all
possible situations.
To install a blanking plug in a cable gland:
1. See Figure 6. Check that you have the correctly-sized blanking plug
for the gland you need to seal (the correct blanking plug is a sliding fit
in the gland when the compression nut F is loosened).
2. See Figure 5 on page 23. Loosen – but do not remove – compression
nut F on the unused cable gland, insert a suitably-sized blanking plug
fully into the cable gland, then hold cable entry C to prevent the
assembly from rotating and tighten compression nut F firmly enough to
ensure a waterproof seal.
Using a luminaire cable connection box
If the cable supplied pre-installed on Luminaires is not long enough,
Martin™ can supply a gel-filled cable connection box that allows you to
make a gel-sealed waterproof connection to extend the cable.
The connection box kit available from Martin™ (P/N 90510230) includes
the box, two cable glands and a four-way terminal block. A 10 m (32 ft.)
luminaire cable extension kit (P/N 90510200) that includes the gel-filled

5. If you are going to connect another Luminaire to the Splitter, repeat the
above instructions for connecting Luminaires, installing the unused
luminaire (smaller diameter) cable gland on the luminaire cable and
connecting the wires in the luminaire cable to the unused luminaire
cable terminals.
If you have finished making connections to the Splitter, see Figure 30:
• Install the supplied DMX terminator in the unused DMX data
terminals as shown in Figure 23 so that it bridges the DMX+ and
DMX+ terminals.
• Install the correct-sized blanking plug in any unused cable gland
(see ”Installing a blanking plug in an unused cable gland” on page
24).
• If the Splitter needs to be fully waterproof, fill it with the sealing
compound available from Martin™ (see ”Filling a Splitter with IP68
Installing Luminaires 57
sealant” on page 57) and re-install the cover on the Splitter (see
”Internal access to a Splitter” on page 44).
Filling a Splitter with IP68 sealant
If a Splitter needs to be protected to IP68, a sealing compound gel
available from Martin™ must be injected into the Splitter using a standard
caulking gun after all connections have been made.
The sealant is self-healing. This means that you can push a screwdriver
through it, for example, and it will reseal itself.
It is possible to remove the sealant after applying it if you need full access
to terminals again. If you remove the sealant, inject new sealant
afterwards to maintain IP68 protection.
Important! Avoid skin contact with the sealant. Use protective
gloves when working with the sealant.

To apply sealant to a Splitter:
1. Check that all cables have
been connected and
connections tested.
2. See Figure 31. Place the
Splitter either horizontal
(with its cover C facing
upwards) or vertical (with
membrane B facing
upwards).
3. Either remove the two
screws A and lift the Splitter
cover off or use membrane
B for access, whichever will
let you inject the sealant
vertically downwards into the
Splitter.
4. Install the supplied mixer
nozzle on the sealant
cartridge and place the cartridge in a standard caulking gun.
5. The sealant in the cartridge is a thick liquid. Fill the Splitter completely
with sealant, allowing air to escape.
6. If you removed the Splitter cover, reinstall it, fastening both screws A.

Setup
You can set Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires to display a programmable
default scene and/or set them up for DMX control using the infrared
remote control unit available as an accessory from Martin™. The remote
control unit lets you communicate with one Luminaire at a time.
You can also set up Luminaires for DMX control and switch them between
calibrated and raw modes using an RDM (Remote Device Management)
compliant DMX controller such as the Martin M1™ console or the Martin
MPC™ Windows application. An RDM-compliant controller connected to
the data link lets you set up all the Luminaires on the link.
Setting up for DMX control
DMX Addressing
If DMX control of Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires is required, they must be
set up to receive instructions from the DMX controller on a DMX channel
or group of DMX channels in the 512 channels available in their DMX
universe.
The DMX address, also known as the control address or start channel, is
the first of these channels. Each fixture uses this channel and the
channels immediately above it to receive instructions.
Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires use 1, 3, or 4 DMX channels, depending on
model and raw/calibrated control mode. For example, if an RGBW
Luminaire’s DMX address is set to 1 and the Luminaire is in calibrated
(RGB) mode, it will use channels 1 - 3. Channel 4 will be available as the
DMX address for the next Luminaire.
If two or more identical Luminaires are set up with the same DMX address
(RGBW Luminaires must also be in the same control mode, either raw
RGBW or calibrated RGB), they will receive the same instructions and
behave identically. Setting up identical Luminaires with the same address
is an easy way to achieve synchronized action and can also be used as a
troubleshooting tool.
Calibrated and Raw modes
Luminaires can be operated in either Calibrated or Raw control mode.
Luminaires are supplied in Calibrated control mode, but they can be set
to Calibrated or Raw mode via RDM using an RDM-compliant controller
such as the Martin M-PC™ Windows application.
Setup 63
RGBW Luminaires
In RGBW Luminaires:
• Calibrated mode
gives slightly reduced LED power but, LEDs follow
factory-calibrated settings to give the best-matched color and white
output across multiple Luminaires.
In Calibrated mode, color output is controlled using three RGB DMX
channels. There is no DMX channel for white LED control. White output
is added to the calibrated RGB output automatically as required to
increase intensity and reduce color saturation.
• Raw mode
allows all LEDs to be operated to their absolute maximum
output regardless of color calibration issues. This means that hue,
saturation, intensity and white color temperature can vary slightly
between Luminaires.
In Raw mode, color output is controlled using four RGBW DMX
channels. The white LED control channel must be manually adjusted to
control intensity and color saturation in RGBW color mixing. Setting all
four channels to 100% gives maximum intensity white.
White Luminaires
In Cool White, Neutral White and Warm White Luminaires:
• Calibrated mode
gives slightly reduced LED power but sets LEDs to
their factory-calibrated output power to give the best-matched white
intensity across multiple Luminaires.
• Raw mode
allows all LEDs to be operated to their absolute maximum
output regardless of intensity issues. This means that white intensity
can vary slightly between Luminaires.

Setting a Luminaire to Remote Control mode
Before you can set up or program a Luminaire with the remote control,
you must set the Luminaire to Remote Control mode to allow
communication between the two devices:
1. See Figure 36.
Point the remote
control at the IR
sensor on the back
of the Luminaire.
2. See Figure 35.
Hold the
PP key
pressed in for five
seconds. When
communication is
established, the
status indicator
LED incorporated
in the sensor
begins to flash
green and the
Luminaire gives
three slow flashes
(yellow in RGBW
Luminaires).
3. See Figure 37.
Note the last four
digits of the
Luminaire’s serial
number labeled on
the fixture and
enter them using
the numeric
keypad on the
remote control.
The Luminaire
should flash each
time you press a
button.
4. Press the
Sign
key.
• If the four digits
have been entered correctly, the Luminaire flashes (green in RGBW
Luminaires) three times slowly to show that it has entered Remote
Figure 36: IR sensor and status indicator
LED
Figure 37: Luminaire serial number
66 Martin Professional™ Exterior 50 & 100™ system user manual
Control mode. The Luminaire automatically switches to DMX
Address Setting mode.
• If the four digits have not been entered correctly, the Luminaire
flashes (red in RGBW Luminaires) quickly and switches out of
Remote Control mode. Repeat the above procedure from Step 1.
Note that:
• The IR sensor status indicator LED flashes each time a button on the
remote control is pressed and the Luminaire accepts that entry.
• Only one parameter can be edited in one session of Remote Control
mode. To edit the next parameter, you must re-enter Remote Control
mode.
• If a Luminaire does not receive a remote control command for more
than 20 seconds, it exits Remote Control mode without saving the
configuration parameters.
• Any entered parameters are lost if you switch modes without storing
those parameters.
Setting a Luminaire’s DMX address
To set a Luminaire’s DMX address with the remote control unit:
1. Set the Luminaire to Remote Control mode (see previous section).
2. Press
+ to enter DMX Address Setting mode.
3. Enter the desired DMX address using the numeric keypad following
these principles:
• Each time you enter digits, the Luminaire responds with short LED
flashes.
• Enter the number in normal left-to-right order (first key pressed
enters first digit on left of address).
• Any digits on the left that are not entered are interpreted as zero (if
you only enter
5 or enter 05, your entry is interpreted as 005)
• Only the last three digits are accepted (if you enter
1234005, your
entry is interpreted as
005).
4. When you have entered the DMX address, press
Sign to store the
address in the Luminaire and exit DMX Address Setting Mode.
Programming a scene in a Luminaire
A ‘scene’ is a lighting effect or appearance (i.e. intensity, and in RGBW
Luminaires color).
Note that:
• Sixteen intensity levels are available in programmed scenes.
• If a DMX signal is present, it overrides the programmed scene.
Setup 67
• The factory default values are zero for all Luminaires.
To program a Luminaire’s default scene with the remote control unit:
1. Set the Luminaire to Remote Control mode (see previous section).
2. Press the
– key to enter Scene Setting mode. The Luminaire
responds with one short flash (blue in RGBW Luminaires) and the
LEDs switch to the last stored scene. LEDs flash each time the
Luminaire accepts an entry for the rest of this procedure.
3. In RGBW Luminaires, use digits
1 - 4 on the numeric keypad to select
the individual LEDs:
•
1 selects Red
• 2 selects Green
•
3 selects Blue
•
4 selects White
4. Set LED intensity as follows:
• Increases the intensity of the selected LEDs (in RGBW
Luminaires) or all LEDs
• Decreases the intensity of the selected LEDs (in RGBW
Luminaires) or all LEDs
• Sets all luminaires to zero intensity
• Sets all luminaires to full intensity
5. When you have programmed the scene, press
Sign to store the
scene in the Luminaire and exit Scene Setting Mode.
An Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaire will display its default scene each time it is
powered on, unless it receives a DMX signal.
Setting up via RDM using Martin M-PC™
The Exterior 50 & 100 system is compatible with RDM (Remote Device
Management). Using an RDM-compliant DMX controller such as the
Martin M-PC™ Windows application, you can communicate with the
Luminaires on the data link via RDM. You can retrieve Luminaire data,
and you can also:
• Set the DMX addresses of all the Luminaires on the link
• Set Luminaires to raw or calibrated modes.
To use Martin M-PC, connect a PC running this application to the data link
using the Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX interface box.

Figure 39: M-PC Device Info view
70 Martin Professional™ Exterior 50 & 100™ system user manual
Operation
Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires can be operated using a DMX controller or
set up to display a default scene that does not require DMX control.
If a Luminaire has been set up to display a default scene, it will display it
as soon as power is applied, but if DMX commands are sent to a
Luminaire, they override its default scene display.
Ambient temperatures
The Exterior 50 & 100 system – apart from the US model PSU for use in
North America – can be operated at ambient temperatures from 40° C
(40° F) to 45° C (113° F). The US model PSU for use in North America
can be operated at ambient temperatures from 40° C (40°F) to 40°C
(104° F). Do not operate devices outside their permitted temperature
range.
DMX control
The industry-standard DMX system allows remote control of an Exterior
50 & 100 installation over the DMX data link using a DMX controller or a
PC running DMX controller software such as the Martin M-PC™
application. If Luminaires have been set up with individual DMX
addresses, they can be controlled individually.
The section “DMX protocols” on page 73 gives details of the control
options available using DMX.
DMX channels in Raw and Calibrated modes
In RGBW Luminaires:
• RGBW control is available on four DMX channels when the Luminaire is
set to Raw mode.
• RGB control is available on three DMX channels when the Luminaire is
set to Calibrated mode.
When an RGBW Luminaire is set to Calibrated mode, white LED intensity
is added automatically to match the color saturation and intensity levels
set on the three RGB channels. Setting all three channels to 100% gives
maximum intensity white, with all LEDs – including white – at their
calibrated maximum.
In CW, NW and WW Luminaires, white LED intensity control is available
on one DMX channel in both Raw and Calibrated modes.
Operation 71
See also “Calibrated and Raw modes” on page 62.
Using Martin M-PC™ for DMX control
See Figure 40. If you do not already have M-PC™ profiles for the models
in the Exterior 50 & 100 series, you can create them in a few seconds.
Once you have profiles in the M-PC fixture library, you can control
Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires via DMX using a Windows PC running M-
PC™ and connected to the data link via a Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX
interface box
See the Martin M-PC™ user documentation for full details of using the M-
