Before you can connect other devices to the fixture’s MAINS OUT socket, you
must use one of the 16 A rated power input cables available as optional
accessories from Martin to connect the fixture to power at the MAINS IN socket.
Use one of the 16 A rated power relay cables available as optional accessories
from Martin to relay power from the fixture’s MAINS OUT socket to the MAINS IN
socket of the next fixture. If you link fixtures to power in a chain in this way, do not
exceed the following limits:
• Connect a maximum of four (4) ELP PROFILE fixtures in total to power in a
chain at 100-120 V, or
• Connect a maximum of nine (9) ELP PROFILE fixtures in total to power in a
chain at 200-240 V.
Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are
in perfect condition, are rated for the current requirements of all connected
devices, and are of suitable type for the location (including water, pollution,
temperature and UV resistance).
The voltage and AC frequency of the power at the MAINS OUT socket are the
same as those applied at the MAINS IN socket.
The fixture’s DMX transceiver is isolated/SELV to prevent ground loops and for
safety reasons.
Isolate the fixture from power immediately if any seal, cover, cable, or other
component is damaged, defective, deformed or showing signs of overheating. Do
not reapply power until repairs have been completed.
Do not use the fixture at an altitude of more than 2000 m (6570 ft.) above sea
level.
Protection from burns and fire
Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
The surface of the fixture can reach up to 55° C (131° F) if the fixture is operated at
the maximum permitted ambient temperature. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5
minutes before handling.

product receives a DMX signal, or when certain control menu items are selected.
To minimize the risk of eye irritation or injury, disconnect the fixture from power at
all times when the fixture is not in use and provide well-lit conditions to reduce the
pupil diameter of anyone working on or near the fixture.
This fixture corresponds to Risk Group 3 according to EN 62471 when all
photobiological risks are considered and Risk Group 2 product according to
IEC/TR 62778 for blue light only. It emits possibly hazardous optical radiation. It
falls into the Risk Group categories shown below according to both EN 62471 and
IEC/TR 62778 under worst-case conditions.
At a distance of less than 5.8 m (19 ft.) from the fixture, the light output can
potentially cause eye or skin injury before an exposed person's natural aversion
responses (blink reflex and reaction to skin discomfort) can protect them. At
distances greater than 5.8 m (19 ft.), potential eye and skin injury hazards from the
light output are normally prevented by natural aversion reflexes.
Position the fixture so that persons cannot be exposed to the fixture's light output
at a distance of less than 5.8 m (19 ft.) from the fixture, and so that prolonged
staring into the light output at less than 23 m (75.5 ft.) from the fixture is not
expected.
Protection from injury
Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure as described in this
manual when in use. Do not stand it on a surface where it may fall over or present
a hazard.
The fixture is not portable when installed.
8 Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide
Ensure that all supporting structures, surfaces, fasteners and lifting equipment can
bear the weight of all the devices they are intended to support plus an adequate
safety margin, and that they conform to local building and safety regulations.
If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls,
install as described in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable
that is approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the
weight that it secures. The safety cable must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section
17.6.6 or BGV C1 / DGUV 17, and must be capable of bearing a static suspended
load at least six times (or more if required by locally applicable regulations) the
weight that it secures.
Eliminate as much slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than
once around the rigging truss, for example). Make sure that, if the primary
attachment fails, the fixture cannot fall more than 20 cm (8 inches) maximum
before the safety cable catches it.
If the safety cable attachment point becomes deformed, do not suspend the fixture.
Have the fixture repaired by an authorized Martin service partner.
If you fasten the mounting bracket directly to a surface, use fasteners that are
strong enough and of a suitable type for the application and environment. Install a
washer directly under the head of each fastener.
Ensure that any accessories such as gel frames, gobo holders are securely
fastened.
Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever
installing, setting, adjusting, or cleaning the fixture.
Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any optical
component.
If an operating problem occurs, stop using the fixture immediately and disconnect it
from power. Do not attempt to use a fixture that is obviously damaged.

Securing with safety cables
If there is a risk that the fixture and/or a lens assembly may fall and cause injury or damage, install
two safety cables (or similar secondary attachments) that are approved for the weight that they will
secure and in perfect condition.
Fasten one safety cable to the attachment point at the rear of the fixture and one safety cable to
the attachment point at the front of the lens tube (see illustration above) and loop the safety cables
around a secure anchoring point.
Remove as much slack as possible from safety cables (by looping them more than once around
the truss chord, for example). Make sure that the safety cables will hold the fixture and/or lens
assembly safely if the primary attachment fails.
If a safety cable attachment point becomes damaged or deformed, do not use the fixture. Return it
to a Martin Service Centre for repair.
14 Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide
Changing the lens tube
Four different lens tubes with fixed beam angles of 19°, 26°, 36° or 50° are available for the fixture.
Two zoom lens tubes with either 15°-30° or 25°-50° zoom ranges are also available. All lens tubes
are available in black or white finish. See ‘Ordering Information’ on page 37 for ordering details.
To change the lens tube, refer to the diagram below:
1. Hold the front of the lens assembly with one hand so it cannot fall out.

housing.
6. Tighten the thumbscrews (2) and (3).
Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide 15
AC power connection
Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture.
Warning! The 18 AWG / 0.75 mm
2
mains power input cable supplied with the
fixture is rated 6 A and can supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not
connect any device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT socket when using this input cable.
If you want to connect other fixtures to the MAINS OUT socket, see ‘Linking
fixtures to power in a chain’ below.
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The
power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and
ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this may cause damage
to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it
permanently, or a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for the local power outlets can be
installed on the power cable. Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the fixture
with power must be located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixture can easily be
disconnected from power.
If you install a power plug on the supplied power cable, install a grounding type (earthed) plug with
integral cable grip that is suitable for your local mains voltage at a current of 6A. Follow the plug
manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in this table:
Live or L
Neutral or N
Earth, Ground or
US system
Black
White
Green
EU system
Brown
Blue
Yellow/green
The fixture has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power at 100-240 V at
50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power at any other voltage or frequency to the fixture.
Linking fixtures to power in a chain
The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 6 A and can safely supply power to
one fixture only.
If you want to use the MAINS OUT socket on the fixture to link power to another fixture in a daisy-
chain, you must first replace the supplied power input cable with one of the 16 amp rated 12 AWG
/ 2.5 mm
2
power input cables available as optional accessories from Martin (see ‘Accessories’ on
page 37). If you install a power plug on a 12 AWG / 2.5 mm
2
power input cable, install a grounding
type (earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 16 A, 250 V.
To link fixtures to power in a daisy-chain, use the 16 amp rated 12 AWG / 2.5 mm
2
power relay
cables available from Martin (see ‘Accessories’ on page 37) to link fixtures’ MAINS OUT sockets to
MAINS IN sockets. Using the 16 amp rated cables available as accessories from Martin, you can
link:
• Maximum four (4) ELP PROFILE fixtures in total at 100-120 V, or
• Maximum nine (9) ELP PROFILE fixtures in total at 200-240 V.
Do not exceed these limits.
If you create custom power relay cables, use only the Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 connectors listed
under ‘Accessories’ on page 37.
16 Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide
Data network requirements
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The fixture has 5-pin XLR
connectors for DMX data input and output.
Up to 32 devices can be linked together on a single daisy chain. The total number of fixtures in one
512-channel DMX universe is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures.
Note that if independent control of a fixture is required, it must have its own DMX channels.
Fixtures that are required to behave identically can share the same DMX address and channels.
To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limits are reached, add another DMX
universe or split the daisy-chained link into branches using a powered DMX splitter.
Tips for reliable data transmission
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot
transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters
(1000 ft.). Heavier gauge cable and/or a DMX buffer is recommended for longer runs. The pin-out
on all connectors is:
• pin 1 = shield
• pin 2 = cold (-)
• pin 3 = hot (+).
Pins 4 and 5 in the XLR connectors are not used in the fixture but are passed through for possible
additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard. Standard pin-out is pin 4 = data 2
cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).
To split the link into branches, use an RDM-compatible opto-isolated DMX splitter. Terminate the
link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug,
which is a male XLR plug with a 120 Ohm, 0.25 W resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks
up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate
each branch of the link.
Connecting the data link
To connect the fixture to data:
• Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s male XLR DMX input
connector.
• Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue
connecting fixtures output to input. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a DMX
termination plug.
Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide 17
Fixture setup
This section explains the fixture characteristics you can set that determine how it can be controlled
and will behave. You choose the settings using the menus available from the control panel, and
they are retained even when the fixture is powered off.
Options can also be set over the DMX line using RDM from a suitable controller, see “Setting
options by RDM” on page 22.
A complete map of the control menu structure and brief explanations of their purposes can be
found in “Control menus” on page 30. Only the most-used functions are described in this section.
Using the control menus
See photo on right. Use the
fixture’s control panel as follows:
• To access the control
menus, press the MENU
button.
• Navigate the menu structure
using the ENTER, DOWN
and UP buttons.
• To select a menu option or
to confirm a selection, press
the ENTER button.
• To return to a higher level in
the menu structure without
making a change, press the
MENU button.
• To exit the control menus
completely, press and hold
the MENU button.
Control panel display
See photo on right. When you
power the fixture on, it resets
and then shows the following
data in the control panel display:
• Name of product
• Temperature of LED module
• DMX address currently used
• DMX Channels currently occupied
The display flashes when the fixture is not receiving a valid DMX signal.
Fast focus mode
If you need to focus the fixture but there is nobody to operate the lighting console, you can quickly
turn the fixture on in “Fast Focus mode” using the control panel. Hold down the ENTER button for
5 seconds and the fixture will come on at full brightness in open white for 60 seconds, allowing you
to set the focus. After 60 seconds the fixture will return to normal operation.
Setting DMX address
Each fixture must be assigned a DMX address. The DMX address, also known as the start
channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture is
controlled using between 1 and 17 DMX channels depending on the personality set. If a fixture
using 17 channels has a DMX address of 1, then it uses channels 1 to 17 inclusive. The following
fixture in the DMX chain can then be set to a DMX address of 18.
18 Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two fixtures of
the same type may share the same address if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can
be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the
inverse pan and tilt options.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. Enter the control menu and select DMX SETUP. Press ENTER.
2. Select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the desired address setting.
4. Press ENTER to confirm your selection (or to return to the top level menu without changing the
settings, press the MENU button).
Setting DMX personality
DMX personality sets how many control channels are used. There are 3 personalities to choose
from:
• 1 channel – dimmer only
• 10 channel – 8-bit dimmer with 8-bit control of functions (default)
• 17 channel – 16-bit dimmer with 16-bit control of functions
The function of each channel is described in the section “DMX protocol” on page 28.
To set the DMX personality:
1. Enter the control menu and select DMX SETUP. Press ENTER.

Other fixture settings
The PERSONALITY menu allows you to set other options for the fixture.
Stand-alone mode
The fixture can operate in stand-alone mode allowing control of multiple fixtures from a single
master fixture if no DMX console is connected. The options are OFF (default), MASTER and
SLAVE. Stand-alone operation will be automatically overridden by incoming DMX signal.
Light quality
The ELP offers two options in the QUALITY menu that let you prioritize either color rendering or
power in the fixture’s light output. The settings available are:
• HIGH QUALITY mode: CRI = 90, color temperature = 6000 K, max. output = 5600 lumens, or
• HIGH OUTPUT mode: CRI = 85, color temperature = 5500 K, max. output = 6900 lumens.
The QUALITY menu also includes a TUNGSTEN setting in which the fixture color temperature
emulates the warm output from a fixture with a tungsten lamp: the color temperature is set to
3000 K and becomes warmer at lower intensity levels.
Besides the TUNGSTEN setting, you can also enter a custom color temperature from 2000 K to
10 000 K.
in 1-Channel DMX Mode, the TUNGSTEN and custom color temperature settings determine the
color temperature of the fixture’s white light output.
In 10-Channel and 17-Channel Modes they also determine the base color temperature of the
fixture’s white light output. In these modes you can use color mixing on top of this color
temperature.
Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide 19
Dimming curves

The FADE TIME option sets the fade time between scenes, from 0-120 seconds (default 3
seconds).
The HOLD TIME option sets the time each scene is shown for, from 0-600 seconds (default 3
seconds).
Color calibration
From the SERVICE menu you can select CALIBRATION. This menu allows you to adjust the
overall brightness and individual colors of the fixture to match with other fixtures. The fixture is
calibrated in the factory but over time the brightness of the LED emitters will gradually reduce, so
this function can be useful if you need to match a new fixture with older ones.
• DIMMER sets the overall maximum brightness of the fixture.
• RED, GREEN, BLUE, LIME, AMBER can be made dimmer or brighter from -128 to 127.
• LOAD DEFAULTS will load the factory-set calibration values. If you have replaced the factory-
set values with custom values using DEF HQ SET or DEF HO SET (see below) it will load the
custom values.
Because two light quality modes – high-quality and high-output mode – are available in the
PERSONALITY → QUALITY menu, from software v.1.2 you can adjust the calibration settings of
each mode separately:
• DEF HQ SET replaces the factory-set calibration values for high-quality mode with the current
custom calibration values that you have set using the commands listed above.
• DEF HO SET replaces the factory-set calibration values for high-output mode with the current
custom calibration values that you have set using the commands listed above.
You must enter a password (019 by default) before you can access these two menu items.
Important! The DEF HQ SET and DEF HO SET commands overwrite the factory-set default
calibration settings. Once you have saved custom calibration values using either of these
commands, the only way to restore the original factory-set values is to carry out a software upload.
The DEF HQ SET and DEF HO SET commands permanently overwrite the factory-set
calibration values. It is not possible to restore the factory-set values by powering the fixture off and
on, resetting the fixture or uploading new firmware. Once you have saved custom calibration
values using DEF HQ SET and DEF HO SET commands, the only way to return to the original
factory-set values is to re-adjust the calibration settings for the dimmer and the individual colors
back to their original values.
22 Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide
Setting options by RDM
You can remotely configure the fixture over the DMX line using a suitable RDM-compatible
controller that is connected to the installation via a DMX data link.
A full list of the RDM functions that the ELP fixture supports is given at the end of this chapter.
These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’ or ‘Parameter IDs’.
Scanning for RDM devices on the data link
Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a scan command (also
called a device 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.
Getting status and setting options by RDM
The status and options listed in the table below can be read and set by RDM.
You can set an option on one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that one fixture only,
or you can set the same option on all the fixtures on the data link by sending a broadcast RDM
command to all the devices on the link.
For status reading, you can only use unicast RDM to read information from an individual fixture.
RDM
As a minimum, the ELP Profile fixtures support the following RDM functions:

DISC_MUTE
DISC_UN_MUTE

Effects
This section describes the effects provided by the ELP Profile fixture. See ‘DMX protocol’ on page
28 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects.
In 17Ch DMX control mode, all intensity controls are 16-bit. In 10Ch mode all controls are 8-bit.
Dimming
Overall intensity can be precisely adjusted from 0 to 100% using 16-bit coarse and fine control. In
10Ch mode the control is 8-bit. In 1Ch mode this is the only control and the fixture is fixed in white.
Strobe effects
An electronic shutter provides instant open and blackout, random and variable speed flash from 1
to 12 flashes per second, and pulse effects.
CTC
The color temperature of the fixture can be set from 2000K to 10000K using 16-bit coarse and fine
control. When the CTC function is active, the color control channels are not used.
Color mix
The fixture is equipped with Red, Green, Blue, Lime and Amber emitters which can be individually
controlled using 16-bit coarse and fine control.
Color Scene
You can select from a range of fixed color temperatures and LEE color filters. If the Color Scene
function is active the Color mix channels are not used.
Manual focus
The ELP profile has a unique “Fine Focus” system which allows you to easily make small focus
adjustments using a gear-based knob on top of the lens tube. To focus the fixture, loosen the
thumbwheel bolts on the top and bottom of the lens tube slightly, then turn the focus knob to slide
the lens in or out of the tube. Tighten the thumbwheel bolts again to hold the focus setting.
Manual beam shaping shutters
The fixture has 4 manually operated beam shaping shutters.
Use of filters
The color filter frame that is supplied with the lens tube lets you add color correction or diffusion
filters to the front of the fixture. Push the filter retaining clip (see 1 in ‘Fixture overview’ on page 10)
to one side to insert and remove filters. Click the retaining clip back into place after inserting a filter
and check that the clip is secure to prevent the color filter frame from falling out.
Martin® ELP CL Profile user guide 25
Use of gobos and irises
The fixture will accept an A-size or B-size goboholder or an iris (items not included) in the
gobo/accessory gate. There is a sliding cover over the gate to prevent light spill and retain the
gobo holder in the fixture. To install a goboholder or iris:
1. Allow the fixture to cool. Loosen the two thumbscrews at the sides of the cover
2. Slide the cover towards the front of the fixture.
3. Slide the goboholder into the accessory gate in the fixture.

Service and maintenance
Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 6 before servicing the fixture.
Refer any service operation not described in this user manual to a qualified
service technician.
Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance,
causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate
cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
Disconnect mains power before cleaning or servicing the fixture.
Service fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from failing parts, tools
or other materials.
Cleaning
The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.
Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is
therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the fixture. Environmental factors that
may result in a need for frequent cleaning include:
• Use of smoke or fog machines.
• High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).
• Presence of cigarette smoke.
• Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment at
outdoor events, for example).
If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first 100 hours 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.
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any product
that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage.
To clean the fixture:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and the air
vents at the back and sides of the head and in the base with low-pressure compressed air.
3. Clean the lens by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak
detergent solution. Do not rub the surface hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry
with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with
an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water. You can
remove the lens tube to clean the rear side of the lens if needed.
4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.
Fuse replacement
If you need to replace a fuse:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. Unscrew the cap of the fuseholder (see Fixture overview on page 10) and remove the fuse.
Replace with a fuse of the same size and rating only.
3. Reinstall the fuseholder cap before reapplying power.
Uploading new firmware
Martin releases new firmware (fixture software) from time to time if it can improve functionality of
Martin fixtures. All firmware versions are available from the Martin website. You can install
firmware using a Windows PC running the Martin Companion software suite with a Martin

Martin fixture firmware cloud when Martin Companion is launched on a PC that is connected to
the Internet.
• A Martin Companion Cable USB-DMX hardware interface, available from your Martin supplier
by ordering P/N 91616091.
To install the ELP CL firmware using Martin Companion:
1. Apply power to the fixture(s) and allow to boot. Connect the Martin Companion Cable
hardware interface to your PC and to the fixture’s DMX IN connector or to the DMX link. All
ELP fixtures that are powered on and connected to the DMX link will have their firmware
updated.
3. Start the PC and launch the Martin Companion application.
4. Locate the latest ELP firmware in the Martin Companion application (Firmware
→
ELP
→
ELP
CL).
5. Start the firmware upload by clicking Update Firmware in the Martin Companion application.
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.
