Safety precautions 7
Read this guide before installing the fixture. Follow all safety precautions listed in this guide.
Observe all warnings in this guide and on the fixture.
Before attempting to operate the Inground 200, refer to the User Manual supplied with the product.
The User Manual is also available in the Support area of the Martin website at
http://www.martin.com
If you have any questions about how to install the fixture safely, please contact your Martin supplier
or call the Martin 24-hour service hotline on +45 8740 0000, or in the USA on 1-888-tech-180.
Eliminating fire risk
The Inground 200 must be installed:
• Outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
• At least 0.5 meters (20 inches) away from the surface to be illuminated.
• At least 1 meter (40 inches) away from any combustible materials.
Ensure that:
• Litter, dry leaves or other combustible materials cannot accumulate on or near the fixture.
• Vehicles or other fire risks cannot be left unattended over or near the fixture. This is particularly
important in situations where a vehicle may be left unattended over or near an unlit fixture which is
later switched on.
Protecting the public
To avoid injury to members of the public, install the Inground 200:
• In an area where accidental contact with the front glass is unlikely, since the Inground 200
becomes hot during normal operation.
• Flush with the surrounding surface, so as to eliminate any obstacle to pedestrians that might result
in falls or injuries.
• With an anti-skid front glass (available from Martin dealers, circular etched P/N 91611238, design
etched P/N 91611198) in pedestrian traffic areas.
Ensure all local safety regulations and legal requirements are observed, and take appropriate
measures to warn or restrict access. To avoid accidents during installation or service, restrict access
to the site and place both warning notices and barriers around all work areas until work is completed
and all covers, etc. are correctly in place.
8 Installation precautions
3. Installation precautions
Important! If the Inground 200 is not installed exactly as described in this Installation Guide, product
performance may be unsatisfactory and the product warranty may be invalidated. In
particular, the precautions listed below must be observed. Martin will gladly provide
assistance in planning and carrying out installation. In some cases, Martin must be consulted
and approval obtained in order to validate the product warranty. Such cases are listed below.
The Inground 200 installation location and method must be carefully chosen in order to avoid heat
and moisture build-up and to ensure satisfactory performance over the product’s lifetime.
Avoiding corrosion
Do not scratch or damage the outer surface of the Inground 200. The housing is carefully coated at
the factory to protect it against corrosion, but if coatings are damaged this protection will be lost,
invalidating the product warranty if corrosion should occur.
Cooling
The Inground 200 generates heat that must be both absorbed by and conducted through the
surrounding fill material as effectively as possible. If the fixture is not installed exactly as described in
this guide, cooling may be insufficient and the fixture may tend to overheat.
The following precautions apply:
• Do not install the Inground 200 above ground level in the open air or in any type of container.
• Do not use fill material with a low density or insulating properties.
• Eliminate as much air as possible from the material surrounding the fixture or installation sleeve by
compacting it during installation.
• If an installation sleeve is required, use only the sleeve available from Martin.
• In locations where the ambient temperature exceeds 35° C (95° F), careful heat management is
necessary and you must obtain assistance from Martin to ensure satisfactory operation. In such
locations, the Inground 200 product warranty is only valid after consultation with and by agreement
with Martin.
Overheating will reduce the lifetimes of critical components. A thermal cutout on the PCB shuts
down power to the lamp if the fixture’s internal temperature exceeds safe limits. Intermittent lamp
cutouts are a sign of critical overheating. Martin cannot be held responsible for intermittent lamp
shutdowns or heat damage caused by an unsuitable installation method and/or location.
Water resistance and drainage
The Inground 200 has an ingress protection rating of IP 65/67. This means that the fixture can
withstand immersion for 30 minutes and low-pressure water jets. However, it is not designed to
withstand constant immersion.
Immersion will encourage condensation inside the fixture: a GoreTex valve in the base of the fixture
equalizes pressure as the fixture heats up and cools down. The valve allows air into the fixture but
prevents the entry of water. If this valve is under water while the fixture cools down, it will not be able
to equalize the pressure in the fixture and humidity may be drawn past seals and into the fixture by
suction.
Installation precautions 9
The following precautions apply:
• The base of the Inground 200 must not be submerged in water other than for very short periods. If
in doubt about a particular site, consult a geotechnical engineer.
• Effective drainage that can prevent any buildup of water in the installation well in all situations is
absolutely essential and must be provided and tested before the Inground 200 is installed. It must
be possible for water from rain, melting snow, flooding or other sources to drain out of the
installation well or sleeve at least as fast as it can enter it. If water is present in the installation well
for extended periods, the product warranty will be invalidated.
• To minimize the risk of flooding or waterlogging, install the fixture in a location which is above the
level of the surrounding area and make sure drainage conditions are adequate.
Avoiding condensation and humidity
Each time the Inground 200 is opened, the silica gel anti-humidity sachet fastened to the lamp
module must be removed and a new item fastened in its place (see “Commissioning procedure” on
page 18).
Excess humidity inside the fixture can be experienced in the following situations:
• The installation well is waterlogged
• The trim ring and front glass are not sealed correctly on the top of the housing.
• The anti-humidity sachet fastened to the lamp module is saturated or missing.
Clearing excess humidity
Warning! If you clear excess humidity as described below:
• The exposed lamp and internals present a risk of electric shock, burns and ultra-violet
radiation. A hot discharge lamp is under pressure and there is a risk of lamp explosion.
Block public access, wear safety glasses and heat-resistant gloves, handle the lamp
module with care, and do not look into the light beam.
• Choose dry weather.
• Ensure that no dust or objects enter the fixture while it is open.
If there is excess humidity in the Inground 200, condensation will appear under the front glass. To
eliminate excess humidity:
1. Check that the installation has adequate drainage and that the top glass and trim ring are sealed
correctly. Rectify any problems.
2. Install a new anti-humidity sachet and reinstall the front glass (see “Commissioning procedure”
on page 18). New anti-humidity sachets are available from Martin suppliers (see “Ordering
information” on page 23).
10 Installation precautions
Stability and weight-bearing capacity
If the Inground 200 will only be subjected to light loads on the front glass, install it directly in the
ground in a direct burial installation (see “1. Direct burial” on page 11)
If the Inground 200 is to be installed in a location where vehicles are likely to put weight on the
fixture, use an installation sleeve (see “2. Installation sleeve” on page 12).
Disturbance by roots
The further the fixture is located from vegetation such as trees, hedges or bushes, the less chance
there is that the growth of roots will disturb the fixture or even cause damage to the fixture and its
cables. If the fixture is to be located close to vegetation, consult a landscape architect about the
possibility of disturbance by root systems.
Service access
All internal components in the Inground 200 can be accessed through the top of the fixture without
having to remove the housing from its installation site.
Physical installation 11
4. Physical installation
Safety
The Inground 200 must be installed in a location that meets the safety standards listed under
“Safety precautions” on page 6. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all local safety
regulations and legal requirements are observed.
Installation options
There are two methods of installing the Inground 200:
1. Direct burial
2. Installation sleeve
1. Direct burial
Burying the Inground 200 directly in the ground is recommended:
• in landscape installations
• in locations where the top of the fixture will not have to support heavy loads (from vehicles, for
example)
• in locations where the ambient temperature exceeds 25° C (77° F).
While the Inground 200 itself will bear up to 5000 kg (11,000 lb.), the ground underneath the fixture
in direct burial installations may allow the fixture to sink if heavy loads are applied to the top of the
fixture. In hardscape locations and in landscape locations where heavy loads may be placed on the
fixture, an installation sleeve is an easy solution to ensure stability. However, if the ambient
temperature exceeds 25° C (77° F), direct burial will ensure better cooling.
Direct burial: examples
The example installations below show how an Inground 200 can be buried directly, but the installer
must make allowance for local conditions:
Direct burial in the earth Burial in concrete
encasement
Drainage
12 Physical installation
It is vital to ensure that the base of the housing rests firmly on a strong foundation, so that pressure
on the top of the fixture will not press the fixture into the ground. One possible way of achieving this
is to pack crushed stone or hardcore firmly in the bottom of the installation well.
Important! When creating a strong foundation for the Inground 200, remember to allow for drainage.
The level of the fill material immediately around the top of the housing must be kept just
below the level of the top of the housing, otherwise it will create an obstruction for the trim
ring. This will make it impossible to fasten the trim ring correctly onto the top of the housing
to seal the product correctly, and will cause excess humidity inside the fixture.
The fill material that is in direct contact with the fixture’s housing must conduct heat away from the
fixture. Do not use lightweight aggregates or other insulating materials for filling, since these will
encourage overheating.
If possible, install the Inground 200 in a poured concrete encasement after all connections have
been made and double-checked.
Ensure that cables are not stressed or crushed during installation, and ensure that the housing rests
on its base, and not on the cables.
2. Installation sleeve
A steel installation sleeve for the Inground 200 is available as an accessory. Installation instructions
are supplied with each sleeve, available on the Martin website and included at the end of this guide
(see “Inground 200™ installation sleeve instruction note” on page 24).
The Inground 200 in a correctly installed drive-over installation sleeve will support a weight of
5000 kg (11,000 lb.) from a vehicle tire.
Important! The installation sleeve is not recommended in locations where the ambient temperature
exceeds 25° C (77° F).
Use of an installation sleeve is recommended for hardscape locations (tarmac, stone paving, etc.)
and in landscape locations where the Inground 200 groundwork may be subjected to loads from
pedestrians or vehicles (including grasscutting or gardening equipment, motorcycles, emergency
services, etc.). Use of an installation sleeve will also allow work to be carried out in two stages:
1. Pre-installation (excavation, conduit-laying and groundwork preparation). This can be carried out
by construction personnel.
2. Installation (cable pulling and connection, fixture installation and adjustment). This must be
carried out by qualified electrical personnel only.
Sleeve installation: example
The example installation below shows how adequate support and drainage can be achieved, but the
installer must make allowance for local conditions. Note that the empty space around the fixture in
the illustration below must be filled with sand to complete the installation.
Physical installation 13
Temporary installation sleeve cover
To avoid rainwater and dirt gathering in empty installation sleeves while waiting for the Inground 200
to be installed in them, a temporary cover is supplied with each sleeve.
Important! The temporary installation sleeve cover is not designed to support weight, so ensure that
pedestrians and vehicles are kept away from the sleeve by using warning notices and
barriers.
Outdoor/indoor installation
The Inground 200 was developed with outdoor installation in mind but can be installed indoors
provided that all the guidelines in this installation guide are followed. This applies particularly to
ambient temperature considerations.
14 Cable Installation
5. Cable Installation
Warning! All electrical system installation must be performed by qualified professionals.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all local safety regulations and legal
requirements are followed when installing the Inground 200.
This section describes how to connect the Inground 200 to AC power. For Inground 200 CMY
models, it also describes how to connect control data cables.
All Inground 200 models are supplied with a power cable tail installed ready for connection to mains
power. Inground 200 CMY models are supplied with a data cable tail installed that contains both
DMX data in and out conductors ready for connection to a control data link.
All external connections must be protected inside suitable waterproof junction boxes or as required
by local laws, regulations or codes. The ends of Inground 200 cables must not be allowed to come
into contact with water or moisture, as the vacuum created in the product during cooldowns can
suck moisture up cable and into the fixture.
Cable slack.
Allow at least 80cm (2ft 8in) of free
cable in the installation well or sleeve
so that the fixture can be lifted clear
for service without disconnecting
cables.
Power cables and connections
Warning! For protection from potentially lethal electric shock:
• The Inground 200 must be grounded (earthed).
• The AC power supply must be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker, ground-fault (earth-fault)
protection, and a means to isolate the fixture from power during service or when not in use.
• Cables and fixtures must be isolated from power, and steps taken to prevent reconnection,
before carrying out any work on them.
• Before applying power, check the product serial label to ensure that the product can accept
the local mains power voltage and frequency.
Important! Do not connect the Inground 200 to an electrical dimmer system: doing so can damage the
electronics.
Power settings
The Inground 200 is factory-configured for one of the power settings listed in Table 1 below. The
factory power supply settings are printed on the product serial number labels outside and inside the
housing. If your local AC voltage or frequency differ from the settings for your model, the fixture’s
power supply must be rewired by an authorized Martin service dealer.
Minimum 80cm cable slack
Cable Installation 15
Connecting power cables
Connect the conductors in the power cable tail to a source of mains power as follows:
EU models (230 V, 50 Hz models) mains power connections
• Connect the yellow/green wire to ground (earth)
• Connect the blue wire to neutral
• Connect the brown wire to live
US models (210 V, 60 Hz and 277 V, 60 Hz models) mains power connections
• Connect the yellow/green wire to ground (earth)
• Connect the black wire marked to neutral
• Connect the black wire marked to live
Table 2 below shows the standard wire identification schemes in the EU and USA; consult an
electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation.
Control data cables and connections (Inground 200
CMY only)
Inground 200 CMY models require a control data link for DMX controller operation and for
synchronized stand-alone operation of multiple fixtures.
Control cable type and connector pinout
Use only RS-485 (now known as EIA-485) data cable designed for burial for the data link. RS-485
cable has low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 ohms. It is electrically
shielded and has at least 1 twisted-pair of conductors. The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm
2
(24 AWG)
for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) and 0.322 mm
2
(22 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft).
XLR connection
A male 3-pin XLR connector can be fitted at the controller end of the data link to allow a standard
connection to Martin DMX controller and uploader devices. The XLR connector should be wired as
follows:
• Pin 1: shield
• Pin 2: DMX data cold (-)

• Pin 3: DMX data hot (+)
Note: to avoid ground/earth loop interference, make sure the DMX cable shield does not come into
contact with the shell or body of the XLR connector.
RJ-45 connection
If an RJ-45 connector is used to connect the data link to
DMX controller and upload devices, it must be wired
according to the 568-B system using the standard RJ-45 pin-
out for DMX applications:
• Pin 1: DMX data hot (+)
• Pin 2: DMX data cold (-)
• Pins 7 and 8: shield
RJ-45 cable connector pins are numbered from the left
looking at the face of the connector with the locking clip on
top.
Control cable layout
The following considerations must be taken into account when planning the layout of DMX control
cables:
• The maximum permitted control data cable length is 500 meters (1640 ft). If more than 500 meters
of control data cable will be necessary, contact your Martin dealer for advice.
• Long parallel runs of AC power and control data cables should be avoided. Even if not required by
law, separate conduits are recommended for power and data cables.
• Fixtures must be ‘daisy-chained’, i.e. DMX must be connected in one single chain containing a
maximum of 32 fixtures.
• An optically isolated amplifier-splitter such as the Martin RS-485 Opto-Splitter (P/N 90758060)
must be used to:
- extend a control data link beyond 500 meters (1640 ft.), or
- branch the daisy-chained link into further single chains, each containing a maximum of 32
devices. The Martin Opto-Splitter allows a link to be branched into four new chains, or
- extend the link if the maximum of 32 devices is reached.
• The last fixture on the data link (or on each chain if you have branched the link) must be
terminated with a 120 Ohm DMX termination resistor (supplied with CMY fixtures and also
available from Martin, P/N 04150308) connected across the data out hot (+) and data out cold (-)
wires. Note that this only applies to the last fixture in the chain. No resistor should be used on the
other fixtures.

Cable Installation 17
Connecting control data cables (Inground 200 CMY
only)
Connect the conductors in the Inground 200 CMY’s data cable tail to the control data link as follows:
• Connect one white wire to data in hot (+)
• Connect the red wire to data in cold (-)
• Connect the bare copper wire to shield
• Connect the other white wire to data out hot (+)
• Connect the blue wire to data out cold (-)
It does not matter which of the white wires is used for used for data hot (+) input and which is used
for data hot (+) output. Similarly, it does not matter which of the red and blue wires is used for data
cold (-) input and which for data cold (-) output. However, we recommend that red and blue wires are
connected as indicated above for reasons of consistency.
On the last fixture on the data link (or on each chain if you have branched the link), connect a DMX
termination resistor across the data out hot (+) and data out cold (-) wires in the cable tail.
18 Powering on and commissioning
6. Powering on and commissioning
After all connections and cables are installed and after the site has been made safe, the Inground
200 must be opened, the anti-humidity sachet fastened to the lamp module must be replaced, then
the fixture must be powered on for testing and beam adjustment, and finally the fixture must be
closed.
When fixtures are powered on, lamps strike after a short delay.
Inground 200 CMY test sequence
When Full Spectrum CMY models are powered on for the first time, they will run through a factory-
set light show for test purposes. They will continue to run this test sequence until they are
programmed.
Test sequence scenes
The CMY fixture is pre-programmed with 5 scenes to verify that all CMY flags and the dimmer are
working correctly:
1. White 100% intensity.
2. Cyan 100% intensity.
3. Magenta 100% intensity.
4. Yellow 100% intensity.
5. White 0% intensity (no light).
Beam adjustment
Correct adjustment of the beam of the Inground 200 is critical for correct illumination of the target.
Adjustment must be carried out with the lamp powered on and is best carried out after dark.
Anti-humidity sachets
During the commissioning procedure (and each time the fixture is opened for service), the silica gel
anti-humidity sachet inside the fixture must be removed and replaced with a fresh one before closing
the fixture. New sachets can be obtained from Martin dealers:
• 1 sachet in sealed aluminum packet – P/N 37220000
• 10 sachets in one sealed aluminum packet (Service Kit) – P/N 37220001
The Inground 200 is supplied with one silica gel sachet fastened inside the fixture to protect from
humidity during shipping and one sachet supplied separately in an aluminum foil bag.
Commissioning procedure
Warning! Danger of burns, electric shock and lamp explosion!
• This procedure must be carried out by authorized electrical personnel and in clean, dry
conditions only.
• Wear heat-resistant safety gloves and safety glasses throughout this procedure.
• Do not look directly into the lamp.
• Make sure that nothing falls into the fixture while the front glass and lens are removed.
Important! Any damaged seals or screws must be replaced with new items. Two spare countersunk Torx
screws for the trim ring are supplied with the fixture.
The front glass seal, its seating surface in the housing, the front glass and the trim ring must
all be perfectly clean and dry during re-installation to maintain a waterproof seal.
Powering on and commissioning 19
Do not use liquid silicone gasket or any other kind of sealant on the front glass seal, front
glass, housing or trim ring. Doing so will invalidate the product warranty.
Each time the Inground 200 is opened for service, or to clear excess humidity at any time, the
silica gel anti-humidity sachet fastened to the lamp module inside the fixture must be
removed and a new item fastened in its place. The fixture must then be closed within 20
minutes.
Besides safety gloves and safety glasses, you will need a torque driver with a range that includes
9 Nm (6.6 ft.-lbs.) as well as 4mm and 2.5mm Allen and Torx bits for these procedures.
To commission the Inground 200, leaving it ready for use by lighting operators:
1. Ensure that the fixture is isolated from power and that power cannot be applied, even
accidentally.
2. Brush or if possible vacuum sand, dirt, etc. away and clean the top of the fixture and the
surrounding area to ensure that dirt does not fall into the fixture.
3. Remove the six countersunk Torx 30 screws and lift the trim ring off the fixture
4. Taking care to avoid damaging the seal, lift off the front glass and its seal.
5. The lens is under the front glass, resting on the beam adjustment ring top sleeve on top of the
lamp module. Lift the lens out of the fixture.
6. If a light spill limiter ring (shading plate) and/or a louvered anti-glare plate are installed under the
lens, lift them out of the fixture.
7. Holding the lamp module by the beam adjustment ring top sleeve, gently lift the whole module
upwards until it is clear of the housing.
8. See illustration below. Cut the cable tie holding the silica gel anti-humidity sachet to the side of
the lamp module above the cooling fan and remove the sachet.
9. Remove the new anti-humidity sachet supplied with the Inground 200 from its sealed aluminum
packet and fasten it with a cable tie in the place of the sachet you have removed. You must now
carry out the rest of the commissioning procedure and close the fixture within 20 minutes.

20 Powering on and commissioning
Earlier Inground 200 fixtures had a screw in the top of the housing and corresponding notches in
the lens and beam adjustment ring top sleeve to make pan realignment easier after removal and
reinstallation of the lamp module. This screw is now no longer fitted, making it impossible to place
the beam adjustment ring top sleeve and lens on top of the screw by mistake and leave the
Inground 200 difficult to seal correctly. If desired, small pieces of tape or blobs of paint can be
used to mark the alignment of the lens, beam adjustment ring top sleeve and housing.
10. Lower the lamp module into the housing, power the fixture on and check that it runs its test
sequence correctly.
11. Wait for a few minutes with the front glass off and the lamp powered on to allow the lamp
temperature to stabilize and the fixture to reach optimum temperature for beam adjustment.
12. See illustration below. For clarity, the lamp module is shown without the beam adjustment ring top
sleeve and lens (see “Exploded view” on page 6 for an illustration of the complete assembly) but
you do not need to remove the top sleeve. Rotate the lamp module in the top of the housing until
it can be tilted towards the target.
13. Check that the beam adjustment ring screws (A) are pushed out towards the edges of the ring so
that the retaining clips are engaged in the beam adjustment ring top sleeve, and check that the
screws are tight so that the beam adjustment ring is clamped to its top sleeve.
14. Loosen the tilt adjustment Allen screw (B) on the side of the beam adjustment ring. Adjust the tilt
angle from 0 - 15° by pushing down gently on the side of the lamp module top plate. Retighten
the tilt adjustment screw (B). If the entire module has been rotated to the correct pan alignment
position in the top of the housing, and if the tilt has been correctly set, the lamp should now be
aimed correctly.
15. Refit the shading plate and anti-glare plate (if fitted) and lens by lowering them into the housing
on top of the adjustment ring top sleeve.
16. Check that the target is illuminated as intended. If not, repeat the readjustment procedure. When
the desired illumination is obtained, the tilt angle can be read from the guide next to the tilt
adjustment screw and noted for future reference.
17. Power the fixture off.
18. The front glass seal must be in perfect condition and show no signs of damage when you
reinstall it, so check the seal carefully. Replacement front glasses and seals are available from
Martin dealers (standard front glass: p/n 41700007, front glass seal: p/n 20600441).
19. Any dirt between the front glass seal and housing or front glass seal and trim ring will prevent a
proper seal and encourage moisture build-up inside the fixture, so clean the mating surfaces
carefully. The trim ring overlaps the top of the fixture and any hard obstruction immediately
beside the fixture will prevent the trim ring from sealing properly, so ensure that a space the
diameter of the trim ring around the top of the fixture is clear down to slightly below the level of
the top of the housing.

20. Place the front glass complete with its seal in the top of the housing and place the trim ring over
the front glass.
21. Inspect the six countersunk Torx 30 screws from the trim ring. Threads must be clean and
undamaged. Two spare screws are supplied with the fixture. Replacement screws are available
from Martin dealers (P/N 08110803). To make future service easier, apply a small amount of
copper-based or silicone grease to the threads of the trim ring screws.
22. See illustration below. Cross-tighten the trim ring screws as described here:
Important! Tighten all the trim ring screws partially in the sequence illustrated below, then tighten all the
screws partially again, then tighten the screws to the final torque. The torque of each screw
falls when other screws are tightened, so when you seem to have reached the final torque,
continue cross-tightening in the sequence shown below a further three times
until all the six
screws are tight to a torque of 9 Nm (6.6 ft.-lbs.). Do not exceed a final torque of 9 Nm (6.6 ft.-
lbs.), or you may distort the trim ring and damage the seal. This will impair the Inground 200’s
waterproof properties and invalidate the product warranty.

7. Installation troubleshooting
Problem Probable cause(s) Remedy
Excess moisture build-up in
fixture (condensation under
front glass).
Inadequate front glass sealing.
Ensure that front glass and trim ring make a
correct seal in top of fixture housing. Check
that there are no obstructions under the trim
ring that may have prevented it from fastening
down correctly onto the top of the housing.
Ensure that trim ring screw torque is 9 Nm
(6.6 ft.-lbs.).
Replace front glass seal if damaged.
Silica gel anti-humidity sachet
fastened to lamp module is
saturated or missing.
Install a new sachet and close fixture within
20 minutes of opening new sachet’s
