Exterior AC-Feeder and Exterior DC-Feeder Safety, Installation and User Manual 9
Installing
Read the ‘Safety Information’ section starting on page 4 before installing, applying power to or operating
the device.
Physical installation
The Exterior AC-Feeder is designed to be mounted on a flat surface in any orientation with four M6 screws
or other suitable fasteners. Four holes (see I on previous page) for fasteners are provided in the flanges at
the corners of the device. Use fasteners that are suitable for the application and for the installation
environment.
The Exterior AC-Feeder can also be fastened to a rigging clamp with an M12 bolt passed through one of
the two holes J and installed on a rigging truss. If you install the AC-Feeder using a rigging clamp in a
location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, attach a safety cable that is approved for the
weight of the device to one of the holes J and anchor the safety cable securely (by looping it around the
rigging truss, for example). Remove as much slack as possible from the safety cable, looping it more than
once around the truss if necessary. Make sure that the safety cable will catch the device if the rigging
clamp fails.
Using cable glands
Where cable glands are used for cable entry, follow the instructions in this section to ensure that the
product’s IP66-rating is maintained.
To install a cable using a cable gland:
1. Ensure that the installation is isolated from power.
2. See illustration on right. Holding the cable entry A to prevent
it from turning, loosen the compression nut B on the cable
gland.
3. Pass the cable through the cable gland and into the device.
When you have finished making the connections inside the
device, hold the cable entry A to prevent it from turning and
tighten the compression nut B until the cable is held securely
in the gland.
Opening and closing the Exterior AC-Feeder
To open the Exterior AC-Feeder, see drawing on right.
Remove the six screws (arrowed) from the Feeder’s cover
and remove the cover.
As soon as you have finished making connections, check
that the mating surface on the Exterior AC-Feeder and the
seal in the cover are clean, dry and in perfect condition,
then reinstall the cover using the original six screws. Use a
torque driver and tighten the screws to between 0.8 and
0.9 Nm in order to ensure that the cover is correctly sealed.
Making connections
Make sure that the weight of cable runs is supported so that lengths of cable do not hang from connectors.

Connecting hybrid (data and DC power) output to fixtures
The Exterior AC-Feeder is supplied with a cable tail for sending data and DC power to a daisy-chain of
Martin Exterior Dot-1/4/9 Pro fixtures.
Power management switch
The Exterior AC-Feeder features a POWER management switch on the PCB next to the network data
terminals. The switch has the following settings:
FULL
Forces the connected Martin lighting fixtures to run in full-power mode, overriding any
power mode commands from the P3 System Controller, Art-Net controller, sACN
controller or RDM controller.
HALF
Forces the connected Martin lighting fixtures to run in half-power mode, overriding any
power mode commands from the P3 System Controller, Art-Net controller, sACN
controller or RDM controller.
CONTROL
Allows the P3 System Controller, Art-Net controller, sACN controller or RDM controller to
set the Martin fixtures’ power modes.
Setting fixtures to HALF power can be useful for applications where full power is not needed or may be
undesirable. The HALF setting also lets you connect a higher number of fixtures to the hybrid output,
meaning that an installation will require fewer power supply and feeder devices.
Note that when the POWER management switch is set to FULL or HALF, it is not possible to adjust the
power mode from the P3 System Controller, Art-Net controller, sACN controller or RDM controller.
