Introduction

Warning! Before installing, operating or servicing the Exterior Wash Pro

lighting fixture, read the latest version of the fixture’s Safety and Installation

Manual, paying particular attention to the Safety Precautions section.

Important! Full specifications for Exterior Wash Pro fixtures and accessories

are available in the Exterior Wash Pro area of the Martin® website at

www.martin.com.

Thank you for selecting the Exterior Wash Pro lighting fixture from Martin.

We recommend that you check the Martin website regularly for updated documentation.

Bear in mind that the output of LEDs, like all light sources, changes gradually over many thousands of

hours of use. If you require products to perform to very precise color specifications, you may

eventually need to make small readjustments at the lighting controller.

Exterior Wash Pro Series

The Exterior Wash Pro Series from Martin is a powerful, compact and energy-efficient line of LED

lighting fixtures designed to illuminate structures and building facades. All models offer a wide

selection of beam angles, and sealed construction suited to permanent outdoor use. A discreet baffle

snoot that integrates seamlessly with the fixtures’ sleek design is available as an optional accessory.

The baffle snoot lets you limit light spill and aim the beam more directly at the target.

QUAD color mixing fixtures

Exterior Wash Pro QUAD variants feature four-color RGBW LEDs and offer RGB control with

automatic addition of White. QUAD fixtures have a dedicated color temperature control channel which

accurately follows the black body curve from 1000 K to 12 850 K.

Exterior Wash Pro QUAD fixtures are available in the following variants:

• Pro S QUAD – 4 x RGBW LEDs

• Pro M QUAD – 9 x RGBW LEDs

• Pro L QUAD – 16 x RGBW LEDs

• Pro XL QUAD – 25 x RGBW LEDs

CTC fixtures

Exterior Wash Pro Controllable Color Temperature (CTC) variants feature even higher white light

quality and efficacy than QUAD variants. They offer White CT mixing from 2400 to 6500 K with 3 x

discrete white color temperature LEDs for high efficacy.

Exterior Wash Pro CTC fixtures are available in the following variants:

• Pro S CTC – 3 x 2400 K, 3 x 4000 K, 3 x 6500 K white LEDs

• Pro M CTC – 5 x 2400 K, 5 x 4000 K, 6 x 6500 K white LEDs

• Pro L CTC – 12 x 2400 K, 12 x 4000 K, 12 x 6500 K white LEDs

• Pro XL CTC – 21 x 2400 K, 21 x 4000 K, 21 x 6500 K white LEDs

Before using the product for the first time

1. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. Do not attempt

to operate a damaged fixture.

2. Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the power requirements of the

fixture.

3. If testing and/or setting up the fixture before it is hard-wired to a mains supply, install a local power

plug (not supplied) to the end of the supplied power cable.

4. If fixtures are exposed to a sudden temperature change, give them time to warm or cool to the

ambient temperature before applying power. This will help avoid damage due to condensation.

Setting up fixtures

This chapter covers the use of Martin Companion to set up and manage the Exterior Wash Pro via

RDM. While we recommend the use of Martin Companion, most of the commonly available RDM

controllers also support the Exterior Wash Pro. Check with the controller manufacturer if you cannot

find the Martin Exterior Wash Pro in the list of supported fixtures. The exact procedures and command

names used by different RDM controllers vary.

Setting up single or multiple fixtures

You can set behavior in one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that one fixture only, or

you can set behavior in all the fixtures on the data link by sending a broadcast RDM command to all

the fixtures.

Martin Companion

and RDM

To set up Exterior Wash Pro fixtures via RDM, we invite you to use the Martin Companion Cable PC-

to-DMX interface that is available as an accessory from Martin suppliers. This tool plugs into the USB

port of a Windows PC and connects to Martin fixtures over the DMX data link.

The Martin Companion Cable is designed to work together with the Martin Companion software

suite for Windows PCs that can be downloaded free of charge from the Martin website at. The Martin

Companion software suite will always offer the latest Exterior Wash Pro features and firmware when

your PC is connected to the Internet.

Instructions for connecting the Martin Companion Cable are supplied with the tool and can also be

downloaded from the Martin website.

Martin Companion offers the following features:

• Simple PC-based user interface

• Update of fixture firmware

• RDM configuration and addressing

• Standalone show programming with automatic start when fixtures are powered on.

RDM functions

A full list of the RDM functions that Exterior Wash Pro fixtures support is given at the end of this

chapter. These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’ or ‘Parameter

IDs’.

Fixture discovery

Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a scan command (fixture

discovery command) to all the devices on the data link so that the RDM controller can identify them. It

does this by retrieving each device’s factory-set unique identifier (UID). This process can take some

time, depending on the number of devices on the link.

To identify the fixtures on the link:

1. Check that the fixtures are correctly connected to the RDM controller on the data link and that

power is applied to all fixtures.

2. Send a discovery command via RDM (Martin Companion does this automatically as soon as the

cable is connected).

3. Give the controller time to identify the devices on the link and prepare for communication with the

devices.

Supported parameters

Exterior Wash Pro fixtures can communicate the PIDs that they support to the RDM controller and give

brief information on each PID.

Setting up DMX operation

Setting DMX mode

The DMX_PERSONALITY PID lets you set the DMX mode of fixtures on the data link. The different

DMX modes available give you a range of options for color or color temperature control as well as

dimming and strobe effects.

Because DMX mode affects the number of DMX channels a fixture uses, it will affect the assignment

of DMX addresses to fixtures. You should therefore set the DMX mode of all the fixtures in the

installation before you set their DMX addresses.

You can set the DMX mode of one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that one fixture only,

or you can set the DMX mode of all the fixtures on the data link by sending a broadcast RDM

command to all the devices on the link.

QUAD fixture DMX modes

Exterior Wash Pro QUAD fixtures can be set to one of four DMX control modes:

Calibrated

7 x channels

Fixtures can be set

to Calibrated or

Calibrated Extended

(default) via RDM

The default color temperature of QUAD fixtures in Basic mode is 4000 K. This can be adjusted via

RDM.

Since color in RGBW raw mode is not calibrated, slight differences in color and/or intensity between

different fixtures may be visible in the light output from multiple fixtures, but you can obtain slightly

higher light intensity levels.

QUAD fixture Color modes

Exterior Wash Pro QUAD fixtures have three color modes (also shown in table above).

In RGBW Raw DMX control mode, the color mode is always raw – you cannot select a calibrated color

mode.

In Basic, Standard and Extended DMX control modes, you can select from two color modes via RDM:

• Calibrated – All colors stay consistent at all times.

• Calibrated Extended (default setting) – The White point is calibrated, but you can saturate colors to the

maximum level available.

Setting DMX addresses

This RDM command lets you set the DMX addresses of fixtures on the data link.

A fixture’s DMX address is the first DMX channel it uses to receive data communication. It uses this

channel and the channels immediately above it. If a fixture has DMX address 001 and the fixture uses

four DMX channels, it will use channels 001, 002, 003 and 004. DMX address 005 will be available as

a DMX address for the next fixture on the data link. If this fixture also uses four DMX channels, the

next available DMX address will be 009, and so on.

You can set the DMX address of one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that one fixture

only, or you can set all the fixtures on the data link to the same DMX address by sending a broadcast

RDM command to all the devices on the link. If all the fixtures have the same DMX address, they will

behave identically and you will not be able to control any single fixture independently.

An example procedure might look like this, depending on which RDM controller you use:

1. Go to Scan → Properties → Advanced → Choose PID → SET DMX START ADDRESS.

2. Enter the DMX address that you want to give to the fixture (or give to all the fixtures if you are

sending a broadcast command).

3. Confirm your selection.

Dimming curves

Four dimming curves are available via RDM:

• Optically linear – The increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is increased.

• Square law (default setting) – light intensity control is finer at low levels and coarser at high levels.

• Inverse square law – Light intensity control is coarser at low levels and finer at high levels.

• S-Curve – light intensity control is finer at low levels and high levels and coarser at medium levels.

QUAD fixture color temperature

The default color temperature of QUAD fixtures in Basic DMX mode is 4000 K. This can be adjusted

using the MANUAL_CTC_VALUE PID.

Full and reduced power modes

You can set the maximum power consumption of Exterior Wash Pro fixtures via RDM. The power limit

mode settings let you reduce electrical power consumption, which of course reduces maximum light

intensity. The power settings are as follows:

Fixture information

Exterior Wash Pro fixtures can communicate the following information to the RDM controller:

• Basic fixture information – type of fixture.

• Name of product and manufacturer.

• Device label – This information can be edited by the user, providing a means of giving an individual

fixture its own ID number, for example.

• Currently installed firmware version.

• LED PCB temperature.

• Number of hours fixture has had power applied since manufacture (non-resettable).

• Number of hours LEDs have been active since manufacture (non-resettable).

• Number of on/off power cycles since manufacture (non-resettable).

• Serial number – This is a factory-set serial number that cannot be changed.

Status messages

The Exterior Wash Pro features a self-diagnostic system that detects any issues concerning correct

operation or safety (temperature that exceeds safe level, for example) and communicates the issues

as status messages or warnings. These messages can be useful in connection with service and

maintenance.

It is possible to do the following from within the RDM controller:

• Call up a list of any status messages that the fixture has stored in memory.

• View information on the messages.

• Clear the stored list of status messages.

Utilities

The Exterior Wash Pro offers various commands for managing the fixture:

• Reset device – Carries out a full reset of all the fixture’s electronics.

• Perform self-test – The fixture carries out a sequence of functions designed to test the fixture.

• Self-test description – Lets you select from various sequences that test the fixture’s functionality, the

fixture’s LEDs or every aspect of the fixture.

• Factory defaults – Deletes any custom settings that have been configured via RDM and returns the

fixture to its factory default settings.

Behavior when no DMX signal is present

Using the RDM OFFLINE_MODE PID, you can define how fixtures behave if power is applied but

fixtures are not receiving a DMX signal (or if fixtures are powered on and being controlled by DMX,

and then the DMX signal stops).

Four options are available:

• Blackout (default setting) – Fixture intensity set to zero light output when no DMX signal is present.

• Standalone – Fixture goes to standalone operation when no DMX signal is present. If you have

programmed a scene or scenes via RDM and DMX, the fixtures will display that scene when no DMX

signal is present.

• Hold Last State – Fixture follows the last DMX values it received.

• Full Output – All LEDs go to 100% intensity when no DMX signal is present.

Martin

User Manual Rev. F 11

Standalone operation

Setting up standalone operation in the Exterior Wash Pro requires the use of Martin Companion. This

hardware cable accessory and free software offers the following features:

• Simple PC-based user interface

• Programming from a remote location over the DMX link.

• Easy programming of multiple fixtures simultaneously

• Combining different types of Martin fixture in one standalone show

• Standalone show programming with possibility of automatic start when fixtures are powered on

• Programming of up to twenty scenes with global or individual fade and hold times.

In standalone mode, fixtures display a ‘scene’ (a ‘look’ in which its controllable effects can be deployed

to varying degrees) or a sequence of up to twenty scenes if you use Martin Companion. Once scenes

have been programmed, fixtures can display them without needing a DMX signal.

Synchronized standalone operation

In synchronized standalone operation, one fixture on the data link – the ’host’ fixture –sends ‘fade’ and

’wait’ signals to the other fixtures on the data link – the ’client’ fixtures – so that scene change times in

client fixtures are synchronized with the scene change times in the host. Every time the host changes

to its next pre-programmed scene, the client fixtures change to their next pre-programmed scene at

the same time.

Important! Martin Companion sets up host and client fixtures automatically. When you set up

standalone operation in multiple fixtures, all the fixtures must be connected on the DMX/RDM link and

powered on, and you must program all the fixtures at the same time. This will ensure that host and

client roles are allocated correctly. If you try to set up fixtures individually using Martin Companion and

then connect them to the DMX/RDM link afterwards, more than one fixture will try to be the host and

fixtures will behave unpredictably.

Setting up synchronized standalone operation

Note the following:

• Although scene changes in host and client fixtures all happen at the same time, scenes do not have to

be identical. The host fixture only tells the client fixtures to “go to scene X with fade time Y”. The effects

(intensity, color etc.) that each fixture uses in a specific scene are stored inside each fixture individually.

• Each fixture displays its own pre-programmed standalone show until it reaches its last scene, then it

starts the show sequence again and continues in a loop. All fixtures will have the same number of

scenes in their shows and they will all start and run their shows in synch (but as mentioned above, you

can program different content for a scene in different fixtures).

• For best data signal quality, you should always terminate a DMX data link by connecting a 120 Ohm

resistor across data hot and data cold at the end of the link. When you disconnect Martin Companion

from the data link in order to begin standalone operation, we recommend that you also terminate the

beginning of the link with a 120 Ohm resistor across data hot and data cold.

• Standalone operation is only possible if no DMX/RDM signal is present. If you connect a DMX signal to

fixtures that are running a standalone show, they will stop standalone operation and respond to DMX

control.

12 Martin

Exterior Wash Pro family

User Manual Rev. F

Programming standalone operation

To program standalone operation using Martin Companion:

1. Connect the fixtures to a DMX/RDM data link and apply power to the fixtures that you want to

program. Important! When using Martin Companion, all fixtures must be connected via a data link

and powered on – you cannot program fixtures individually and connect them together to the link

later!

2. Connect the Martin Companion Cable and a PC running the Martin Companion application to the

data link. If the fixtures have not already been discovered by Martin Companion, wait until the

Discovery counter stops. This will indicate that all fixtures have been discovered.

3. Once all fixtures have been discovered and are shown in the list of connected fixtures in the main

Martin Companion window, set each fixture to its desired DMX Mode in its Mode box (arrowed in

screenshot below). The DMX mode that you set for a fixture determines what controls are

available when you create scenes in the next steps.

4. See screenshot below. Select the fixture or fixtures that you want to set up for stand-alone

operation by checking each fixture’s box under Select in the grey bar at the top of the window.

Then click on CREATE under ACTIONS on the right of the window to continue to the next step (it

is also possible to edit an existing show that has already been programmed into the fixtures).

5. See screenshot on next page. To create the first scene:

(a) Select the fixture (or fixtures that you want to control with identical behavior) in Scene 1 by

checking each fixture’s box under Select in the grey bar at the top of the screen.

(b) Create the desired look for the selected fixture(s) in Scene 1 using the sliders on the left (the

sliders shown depend on which DMX Mode you set for the fixtures in the previous step).

checking each fixture’s box under Select in the grey bar at the top of the screen.

(d) Create the desired look for these fixture(s) in Scene 1 using the sliders on the left.

(e) Repeat the steps above until you are happy with the way all the fixtures in Scene 1 are set up.

Martin

Exterior Wash Pro family

User Manual Rev. F 13

(f) In the SCENE TIMINGS pane on the right, set FADE and WAIT times for Scene 1. The FADE

time is the time it takes for one scene to fade to the next, and the WAIT time is the time that a

scene will be displayed before it begins to fade to the next scene.

6. To create the next scene:

(a) Click on ADD SCENE.

(b) Repeat steps (a) to (d) under point 5. above to create the desired look for all the fixtures in

scene 2.

7. If you want to preview scenes one by one, click on PREVIEW SCENES in the PREVIEW/RUN

pane, then click on PREVIOUS and NEXT to scroll through the scenes.

8. When you have finished programming the standalone show, click on SAVE in the PREVIEW/RUN

pane.

Running a standalone show

To run the standalone show that you have programmed:

1. See screenshot on right. Click on RUN SHOW in

the PREVIEW/RUN pane.

14 Martin

Exterior Wash Pro family

User Manual Rev. F

2. See screenshot on right. In the STATUS box, Martin

Companion will now tell you to disconnect the

Martin Companion Cable that is running from the

PC to the fixtures. Once this cable is disconnected,

the fixtures will start to run their standalone show.

Fixtures will play the standalone show that has been

programmed each time they are powered off and then

powered on again, provided that they are not receiving a

DMX signal. DMX control will override the standalone

show for as long as the DMX signal is being received.

To stop fixtures from running their standalone show

when they are powered on and not receiving a DMX

signal, reconnect Martin Companion to the fixtures and

click on STOP SHOW in the PREVIEW/RUN pane.

Operating the fixture

Controlling via DMX

Once you have set up fixtures’ DMX modes and DMX addresses via RDM, you can control fixtures

using a DMX controller that is connected to the installation.

See the ‘DMX protocols’ section at the end of this manual for details of the control options available.

Identifying fixtures in the installation

To help with programming scenes and controlling the installation, it is possible to send an RDM

command that causes a fixture to flash a signal so that you can identify it. To identify a fixture:

1. Black out all fixtures if you have been using them.

2. Send an IDENTIFY DEVICE unicast command to an individual fixture in the installation via RDM.

The fixture will respond by flashing white, letting you identify it. In Martin Companion you can

simply enable the “Identify” button in the toolbar, and then any fixture(s) you select will

immediately identify itself. You can even use arrow keys to navigate through the list of fixtures,

with the corresponding fixture flashing as soon as you get to it.

3. If your RDM-compatible DMX controller allows it, you can now identify the fixture at the controller.

Test sequences and fixture status

The Exterior Wash Pro Series Safety and Installation Manual that is included at the end of this User

Manual contains information on displaying fixture status codes and running test sequences that you

may find useful before starting fixture operation.

Precautions to avoid damage

Important! To get the best out of the Exterior Wash Pro and avoid causing damage that is not

covered by the product warranty, make sure that everyone who is involved in installing, working on or

using the fixture has read and understood the following information.

Cleaning

Excessive dirt buildup causes overheating and may lead to damage that is not covered by the product

warranty. Clean the product at regular intervals (see “Cleaning” on page 21)

Operating temperature precautions

Do not operate the fixture in an ambient temperature that exceeds the specified maximum of 45° C

(113° F). Fixtures have an internal thermal sensor. If the sensor measures excessive temperature, a

thermal protection system reduces output. If the temperature is dangerously high, a thermal cutout

shuts down the fixture. The fixture will not function normally again until the temperature has fallen to a

safe level.

Maintaining IP66 protection

The fixture is supplied as a sealed unit. It may be opened for the purposes of changing power and/or

data cables by a qualified technician in a controlled environment with service documentation or

guidance from Martin Service only.

Condensation and pressure relief valve

A valve with a gas-permeable membrane in the base of the product equalizes pressure by allowing air

to pass through it when the product heats up and cools down, but at the same time it acts as a barrier

to water in liquid form. This valve requires maintenance – see ‘Pressure relief valve’ on page 21 for

details.

Under certain conditions, condensation may become visible under optical components. This is normal

and harmless. The fixture gradually expels condensation via its pressure relief valve.

Before using the product for the first time

1. Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing, operating or servicing the fixture.

2. Unpack the fixture. Please make sure to recycle cardboard packaging material. Both the inner

layer (buffer) and the outer box are 100% cardboard.

3. Ensure that there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. Do not attempt to operate a

damaged fixture.

4. If testing and/or setting up the fixture before it is hard-wired to a mains supply, install a local power

plug (not supplied) to the end of the supplied power cable.

5. Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the power

requirements of the fixture.

6. Check the support pages on the Martin Professional website at www.martin.com for the most

recent user documentation and technical information about the fixture. Martin® manual revisions

are identified by the revision letter at the bottom of the inside cover.

Exterior Wash Pro family

Safety and Installation Manual Rev. F

Physical installation

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture.

Contact your Martin® supplier for assistance if you have any questions about how to

install this product safely.

Fixture location

Exterior Wash Pro family fixtures are intended for outdoor use. With an IP66 rating, they are protected

against dust, humidity and water and are able to withstand powerful water jets, but they are not

submersible.

Mounting the fixture

The fixture and yoke can be mounted at any angle. The yoke allows the fixture to be manually panned

and tilted for beam aiming adjustment.

The fixture and mounting bracket are manufactured in corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum. Avoid

mounting the fixture in direct contact with other types of metal, as this can cause galvanic corrosion.

When fastening to a dissimilar metal surface:

• Use an electrically insulating material (such as rubber or plastic) or coating between the mounting

bracket and the other metal.

• Use a non-conductive coating such as Delta Seal on fasteners (screws, bolts, washers, etc.)

where they come into contact with the mounting bracket.

The fixture’s mounting yoke base must be securely and safely anchored to a stable, static surface,

pedestal, structural beam, rigging truss or other suitable support. Do not stand the fixture unanchored

on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over.

Mounting on a surface

To anchor the mounting yoke to a wall or other flat surface, use at least three high-strength corrosion-

resistant fasteners that are safe for the application and the environment (recommended minimum

properties: stainless steel A4-70 grade according to ISO 3506 or steel grade 8.8 according to

ISO 898-1). Any nuts used must be self-locking. Install washers under all nuts and bolt heads. Make

sure that there is a washer between each fastener and the yoke base.

To mount S and M fixtures on a suitable surface:

1. See Figure 1. Pass a 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter bolt through the 13.5 mm hole in the center

of the yoke base and fasten it finger-tight into the surface.

Figure 1. Mounting yoke base, S and M fixtures

Martin

Exterior Wash Pro family Safety and Installation Manual Rev. F 13

2. Pass two bolts with 8 mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter through the 9 mm curved slots and fasten

them finger-tight into the mounting surface.

3. Adjust the aim of the fixture by turning it within the 60° of pan adjustment available, then fully

tighten all three bolts. If additional fasteners are required to mount the fixture safely, pass two

8 mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter bolts through the 9 mm curved slots in the yoke base and fasten

them into the mounting surface.

To mount L and XL fixtures on a suitable surface:

1. See illustration below. Pass a 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter bolt through the 13.5 mm hole in

the center of the yoke base and fasten it finger-tight into the surface.

2. Pass two bolts with 8 mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter through the 9 mm curved slots and fasten

them finger-tight into the mounting surface.

3. Adjust the aim of the fixture by turning it within the 60° of pan adjustment available, then fully

tighten all three bolts.

4. If additional fasteners are required to mount the fixture safely, pass two 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft

diameter bolts through the 13.5 mm holes at the edges of the yoke base and tighten them into the

mounting surface.

Securing with a safety cable

If regulations require it, the fixture can be secured with a safety cable that is approved for the weight of

the fixture and mounting hardware.

To secure the fixture with a safety cable:

1. Obtain an Exterior Wash Pro Safety Cable Attachment Bracket from your Martin supplier. Fasten

this bracket (arrowed) securely to the bottom of the fixture as shown in the illustration below using

the screws supplied with the bracket.

Figure 2. Mounting yoke base, L and XL fixtures

14 Martin

Exterior Wash Pro family

Safety and Installation Manual Rev. F

2. Fasten the safety cable to a secure anchoring point, by looping it around the truss chord, for

example. Remove as much slack as possible from the safety cable by looping it more than once

around the truss chord, for example. Then fasten the safety cable to the attachment bracket on the

fixture with the cable’s carabiner clip. Make sure that the cable will catch the fixture if a primary

means of suspension fails.

Adjusting tilt

Warning! The fixture can become hot. Wear heat-resistant gloves if you adjust

the aim of the fixture when it is (or has recently been) powered on.

Tilt adjustment can be carried out

with the fixture powered on as

follows:

1. Put on heat-resistant gloves.

2. See illustration on right. Loosen,

but do not remove, the tilt lock

screws (arrowed) on both sides

of the yoke.

3. Tilt the fixture to the desired

angle and retighten the screws.

You can tilt the fixture up to 45°

forward or 45° backward. A scale

is printed on the yoke to ensure

accurate adjustment.

Installing a microlens beam angle accessory

Optional microlenses that modify the beam angle are available from Martin (see the Exterior Wash Pro

pages on the Martin website at www.martin.com for details and

ordering information). The following options are available:

• Narrow (8°)

• Wide (25°)

• Very Wide (50°)’

• Asymmetric (5 x 60°)

Note that the nominal beam angles given above are for reference

only. The effective beam angle is a combination of the nominal

microlens angle and the fixture beam angle defined by the lens.

Located close to the edge of the microlens is a marking that gives

the microlens’s nominal beam angle and indicates which side of

the microlens must face outwards (see illustration on rightFigure

4). Note that the marking can be partially hidden under the

microlens’s silicone gasket.

The asymmetric microlens also includes markings with arrows and beam angles indicating the

orientation of the microlens.

The microlens is held in place on the front of the fixture by the fixture’s trim frame or, if installed, by a

Baffle Snoot accessory.

To install an optional microlens:

1. Shut down power to the fixture and allow it to cool.

Protecting connections from moisture

Moisture can cause corrosion in unprotected cable connections. Moisture can also be sucked along

the inside of cables at breaks or cuts in the cable jacket (for example at connection points) and into

fixtures because of the vacuum effect of temperature fluctuations inside fixtures. To protect

connections and fixtures from moisture, take at least one of the following precautions:

● Locate cable junctions in dry areas (e.g. junction boxes in dry locations).

● Use connectors or junction boxes that are protected to IP67 or higher.

● Fill junction boxes with potting compound to seal the ends of cables and to protect connections

from corrosion.

Testing

Exterior Wash Pro fixtures are programmed with a test

sequence that is activated by ‘swiping’ (moving) a

magnet past a magnetic switch inside the fixture. The

magnetic switch is located on the rear of the fixture. A

magnet icon is provided on the housing to show the

switch location.

Exterior Wash Pro QUAD models

Swiping a magnet past the magnetic switch causes the

fixture to step through the following sequence:

1. Display status code (see table below for meaning).

2. All LEDs at full intensity.

3. All red LEDs at full intensity.

4. All green LEDs at full intensity.

5. All blue LEDs at full intensity.

6. All white LEDs at full intensity.

7. Exit sequence and resume normal operation.

You can also resume normal operation by cycling power off and on. If you are sending a DMX signal

to the fixture, it will exit the sequence and enter normal DMX operation again after a short period.

Maintenance

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before carrying out service or

maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open the

housing. Refer any service operation not described in this manual to Martin

Professional or its authorized service agents.

Installation, on-site service and maintenance can be provided worldwide by the Martin

Professional Global Service organization and its approved agents, giving owners

access to Martin’s expertise and product knowledge in a partnership that will ensure

the highest level of performance throughout the product’s lifetime. Please contact your

Martin® supplier for details.

Be aware that the output of LEDs, like all light sources, changes gradually over many thousands of

hours of use. If you require products to perform to very precise color specifications, you may

eventually need to make small readjustments at the lighting controller.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust and dirt degrades the

fixture’s light output and cooling ability.

Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating environment. Inspect fixtures within

their first few months of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at regular

intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation.

Do not use products that contain solvents, abrasives or caustic agents for cleaning, as they can cause

surface damage to the fixture. The aluminum housing and front glass can be cleaned with mild

detergents such as those for washing cars.

To clean the housing and front glass:

1. Isolate the fixture from AC power and allow the fixture to cool for 20 minutes.

2. Visually check that the silicone seals and the power and data cables are in good condition. If any

seal or cable shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of water resistance, stop cleaning the

fixture and contact a Martin authorized service technician for replacement.

3. If seals are in good condition, rinse off loose dirt with a hose or low-pressure water spray.

4. Wash the aluminum housing and front glass using warm water with a little mild detergent and a

soft brush or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

5. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Installation safety

Each time the fixture is cleaned, check that the fixture and any accessories mounted on it are held

securely and cannot fall. Check mounting fasteners and re-tighten if necessary.

Pressure relief valve

A valve with a permeable membrane between the

cable entries on the back of the fixture (see illustration

on right) equalizes pressure by allowing air to pass

through it when the fixture heats up and cools down.

At the same time, the valve acts as a barrier to water

in liquid form. The expulsion of warm air (with a

slightly higher water vapor content) and intake of cool

air (with a slightly lower water vapor content) prevents

humidity buildup over time, provided that the valve

works correctly and that the fixture is correctly sealed.

Pressure relief valves have a limited service life. They become blocked over time as the micropores in

the membrane fill with particles. When a valve becomes blocked, excess pressure can damage seals

or cause air and even water to be sucked into the fixture along cables. A blocked valve cannot be

cleaned and must be replaced if it shows signs of contamination or is not in perfect condition. Valve

replacement involves pressure-testing the fixture and must be carried out by an authorized Martin

service agent.

Firmware maintenance

Important! Do not switch the fixture off or disconnect the source of the firmware during an update, or

the firmware will be corrupted.

You may need to install new fixture firmware if a new firmware version with new features is released,

or in the unlikely event that firmware has become corrupted. Firmware updates can be downloaded

automatically from the Martin cloud using the Martin Companion software suite on a PC connected to

the Internet.

All fixtures that are powered on and connected via a DMX link to the fixture that you update will also

have their firmware updated.

If you update firmware to a newer version, check the Exterior Wash Pro area of www.martin.com to

see whether an updated version of the User Manual is available for the new firmware.

You need the following in order to install firmware:

• A Windows PC running the latest version of the Martin Companion software suite that is available

for download from the Martin website at www.martin.com.

• The latest Exterior Wash Pro firmware files (Martin Companion automatically downloads these

from the Martin fixture firmware cloud when you run it on a PC that is connected to the Internet).

• A Martin Companion Cable USB-DMX hardware interface (available from your Martin supplier).

To install the firmware in a fixture (or in multiple fixtures on the DMX link) using a Martin Companion

Cable:

1. Apply power to the fixture(s) and wait until they have finished their startup procedure.

2. Connect the Martin Companion Cable’s USB connector to a USB port on your PC. Connect the

Martin Companion Cable’s XLR connector to either the fixture’s DMX IN connector or the DMX

link.

3. Start the PC and launch Martin Companion. Check that the Martin Companion application

correctly detects the Martin Companion Cable (a green dot should appear next to USB

Connected in the top right-hand corner of the window).

4. Locate the latest Exterior Wash Pro firmware in Martin Companion’s Firmware window.

5. Start the firmware update by clicking Update Firmware in Martin Companion. Do not disconnect

the Martin Companion Cable or power off the fixture(s) until the upload is complete and the

fixture(s) has successfully rebooted.

6. If you are updating multiple fixtures over a DMX link, check that they have all rebooted correctly.
