6. Check that all installation work is completed and carry out appropriate tests and safety checks
before applying power.
Installing a temporary power plug
It is possible to install a power plug (cord cap) on the power cable (power cord) for temporary use
(such as setting up a fixture before installation) only. If you choose to do this, install a grounding type
(earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 277 V, 6 A. Follow the plug
manufacturer's instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in the table below:

Connecting to data
A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX and manage fixtures via RDM. If
you need advice or assistance in planning the link, your Martin supplier will be happy to help.
To connect the fixture to control data you must use DMX512-compatible data cable that is suitable for
the installation environment (with regard to UV resistance, weatherproofing, temperature rating etc.)
and that has an external diameter of 8–12 mm (0.32–0.47 in.).
Important! Connect the DMX/RDM data link in a daisy-chain only. If you split the data link into
branches you will probably cause data signal integrity problems.
The Exterior Projection Pro Compact uses the common/shield conductor and the first data pair in a
standard DMX512A data cable. The second data pair in a five-conductor DMX cable is not used.
Connect the fixture to data as follows:
1. Lock out power to the installation.
2. See illustration below. If the connections compartment is not already open. release the four Allen
screws in the connections compartment cover on the back of the fixture and remove the cover.
Loosen the compression nut C on the cable gland shown and remove the sealing plug D from the
gland. pass the data input cable through the cable gland.
3. Strip approximately 50 mm (2 inches) of the data cable's outer jacket. Strip approximately 12 mm
(half an inch) of insulation from each of the three wires in the cable. Crimp a ferrule onto the end
of each wire. The ferrules must be long enough to pass fully into the terminals but there must be
no exposed metal outside the terminals.
