Safety Information 5
• Connect the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP to AC mains power at 120-240 V~ (nominal), 50/60 Hz only.
• Use only a source of AC mains power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both
overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
• Use only a power input cable that has 14 AWG or 2.5 mm² minimum conductor size and an outer cable
diameter of 8 - 13 mm (0.35 - 0.5 in.). Power cable must be hard usage type (SJT or equivalent) and
heat-resistant to 90° C (194° F) minimum. In the EU the cable must be HAR type.
• Use only the cables specified by Martin™ for the devices concerned to interconnect them. If the specified
cables are not long enough for an intended cable run, consult Martin™ for assistance in finding or
creating a safe alternative cable.
• Before applying power to the installation, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in
perfect condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.
• Isolate the installation from power immediately if the product, power cable or power plug are in any way
damaged or defective, or if they show signs of overheating.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
• Do not attempt to bypass fuses.
• Provide free airflow around the device.
• Do not operate the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 55° C (131° F).
• Do not modify the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP in any way not described in this manual or install other than
genuine Martin™ parts. Use only accessories approved by Martin™.
PROTECTION FROM INJURY
• When installing the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP above ground level, ensure that the primary installation
hardware and supporting structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
• When suspending the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP from a rigging structure, use two rigging clamps that are
approved by an official notified body for the weight they support and installed as described in this manual.
• In an overhead installation or where the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP may cause injury if it falls:
- block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or
moving the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP,
- install as described in this manual a secondary attachment (such as a safety wire) that is approved in
accordance with UL1573 Section 9.2 and EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 as a safety attachment for the
weight it must secure if the primary attachment fails, and
- as soon as work is completed, check that all hardware and components are securely in place and that
all installation and rigging hardware used is securely fastened.

Overview
The parts identified below are referred to throughout this manual.

Physical installation 7
Physical installation
Warning! If suspending the product above ground level, secure it against failure of primary
attachments with a safety cable that is approved for the weight of the product.
Warning! If suspending the product from a truss, use 2 clamps to rig the product. Do not use only
one rigging clamp.
Clamping the product on a truss
The P3 PowerPort 1000 IP can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure with two clamps bolted
through the clamp attachment points in the mounting bar. See Figure 1. It is intended to be installed hanging
down vertically, as shown in Figure 2. This orientation provides maximum protection from moisture.
When rigging the device hanging vertically from a truss, you can use open-type clamps such as G-clamps.
When installing in any other orientation, you must use closed-type rigging clamps such as half-coupler
clamps (see Figure 3) that completely encircle the truss chord.

8 P3 PowerPort 1000 IP™ Rental Model User Manual
To hang the device on a truss:
1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight
of all devices and equipment to be installed on it.
2. Securely fasten two (2) rigging clamps through the clamp attachment
points in the mounting bar. The bolts used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel
minimum, and fastened with self-locking nuts.
3. Block access under the work area.
4. Working from a stable platform, hang the device on the truss and fasten
the rigging clamps onto the truss.
5. Secure the device with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment)
that is approved for the weight of the device so that the safety cable will
hold it if a primary attachment fails. As shown in Figure 2, loop the safety
cable around the mounting bar and the truss or other secure anchoring
point.

Power and data connection 9
Power and data connection
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP must be electrically
connected to ground (earth). The AC mains supply must be fitted with a fuse or overload circuit
breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection. Unused sockets must be capped.
Warning! The power input cable must meet the specifications listed under ”Protection from electric
shock” on page 4.
Warning! Double-pole/neutral fusing. If the installation is not completely disconnected from power,
parts may remain live even if one of the two mains fuses has blown.
Warning! The current draw at each of the P3 PowerPort 1000 IP’s four DC power/video data outputs
must not exceed 5 A per output. Before connecting devices to the outputs, check carefully the
information about system layouts and maximum safe limits in all the user manuals of the devices in
the system.
AC mains power input
The P3 PowerPort 1000 IP must be connected directly to AC mains power. It features an auto-sensing
switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to power at 120-240 V~ (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Note that
the device utilizes double-pole/neutral fusing. Lethal current may be present even if one of the two mains
fuses has blown.
The P3 PowerPort 1000 IP is connected to power via the Neutrik PowerCon TRUE1 AC mains input socket.
A suitable power cable with a PowerCon TRUE1 cable connector can be ordered from Martin™.
Alternatively, you can order the PowerCon TRUE1 cable connector as a separate item from Martin™ and
install it on your own power cable as described on the following pages. If you use your own power cable, it
must meet the cable specifications listed under ”Protection from electric shock” on page 4. See
”Accessories” on page 18 for Martin™ cable and connector ordering details.
