Safety information
Warning! This product is for professional use only. It is not for household use.
This product presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat, electric shock, ultraviolet radiation,
lamp explosion, and falls. Read this manual before powering or installing the fixture, follow the safety
precautions listed below and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the fixture. If you have
questions about how to operate the fixture safely, please contact your Martin dealer or call the Martin
24-hour service hot line at [phone].
Protection from electric shock
• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the lamp, fuses, or any part, and when
not in use.
• Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload
and ground-fault protection.
• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
Protection from UV radiation and lamp explosion
• Do not operate the luminaire with missing or damaged covers, shields, lenses or ultraviolet screens: an
unshielded discharge lamp emits UV radiation that can cause burns and eye damage.
• Do not stare directly into the light output. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.
• A hot discharge lamp is under pressure and can explode without warning. Allow the luminaire to cool for at
least 20 minutes and protect yourself with safety glasses and safety gloves before replacing the lamp or
servicing the luminaire internals.
• If the quartz envelope of a discharge lamp is broken, the lamp releases a small quantity of mercury and
other toxic gases. If a discharge lamp explodes in a confined area, evacuate the area and ventilate it
thoroughly. Wear non-porous safety gloves when handling a broken discharge lamp. Treat broken or used
discharge lamps and used safety gloves as hazardous waste and send to a specialist for disposal.
• Replace the lamp if it becomes visually deformed, damaged or in any way defective
• Replace the lamp when it reaches the limit of its average life as specified in this manual or by the lamp
manufacturer.
• Install only an approved lamp.
