2. Safety precautions
Warning! This product is not for household use. Installation of the Inground 200 may only be
carried out by qualified professionals.
This product presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat, electric shock and lamp
explosion.
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 Architectural website at
http://www.martin-architectural.com
If you have questions about how to install the fixture safely, please contact your Martin Architectural
dealer or call the Martin 24-hour service hotline on [phone].
Eliminating fire risk
The Inground 200 must be installed:
• Outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

6 Installation procedure
• At least 0.5 meters (20 inches) away from the surface to be illuminated.
• At least 1 meter 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.
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.
3. Installation procedure
A suggested procedure for installing the Inground 200 involves two phases:
1. Pre-installation
1. Ensure that a plan is available with details of site layout, beam aiming, power
supply and control, etc.
2. Prepare installation wells and cabling.
– see “Groundwork” on page 7
3. If an installation sleeve is to be used, fit and secure this.
– see “1. Installation sleeve” on page 9
2. Installation
1. Remove internal components and prepare for cable connection.
– see “Component removal & reinstallation” on page 17
2. Connect cables.
– see “Connecting power supply cables” on page 11 and “Connecting control
data cables” on page 14.
3. Replace internal components and install housing in installation well or sleeve.
– see “Component removal & reinstallation” on page 17
4. Apply power.
– see “Powering on for the first time” on page 15
5. Adjust beam and refit lens and front glass.
– see “Beam adjustment” on page 16

5. Groundwork
This section describes how to install the Inground 200 either directly in the ground or in an
installation sleeve.
Warning! All electrical system installation must be performed by qualified professionals.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all national safety regulations and
legal requirements are followed when installing the Inground 200.
Choosing a location
Safety
The Inground 200 must be installed in a location that meets the safety standards listed under “Safety
precautions” on page 5. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all local safety regulations
and legal requirements are observed.

Stability and weight-bearing capacity
If the Inground 200 is to be installed in a location where pedestrians or vehicles are likely to put
weight on the fixture, use a drive-over installation sleeve (see “1. Installation sleeve” on page 9).
Water resistance and drainage
The Inground 200 has an ingress protection rating of IP 65/67. This means that the fixture is
protected against low-pressure water jets and immersion. However, the product is not designed to
withstand high-pressure water jets.
As a sensible precaution, make sure that it is possible for water to leave the installation well or
sleeve at least as fast as it can enter it. An installation should be capable of draining away water
from the heaviest rain or snowfall in the area where the Inground 200 is located.
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.
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
Access to the outside of the Inground 200 housing is only necessary during cable installation or
cable replacement. All internal components and cable connections can be accessed for service
through the top of the fixture without having to remove the housing from its installation site.

Installation options
There are two methods of installing the Inground 200:
1. Installation sleeve
2. Direct burial
1. Installation sleeve
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.
A steel installation sleeve for the Inground 200 is available (contact your Martin Architectural dealer
or see the Martin Architectural website at http://www.martin-architectural.com for full details). The
Inground 200 in a correctly installed drive-over installation sleeve will support a weight of 5000kg
from a vehicle tire.
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:
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.
2. Direct burial
Burying the Inground 200 directly in sand, gravel or shale, etc. is suitable in landscape installations
only. While the fixture itself will bear up to 5000kg (11,023lb), groundwork in direct burial
installations is unlikely to remain stable if loads are applied to the fixture. Therefore, in all hardscape

10 Groundwork
locations and in landscape locations where loads may be placed on the fixture by for example
vehicles or pedestrian traffic, an installation sleeve is required (see “1. Installation sleeve” on page
9).
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:
It is vital to ensure that the base of the housing rests firmly on a strong foundation, so that any
pressure on the top surface of the fixture after installation 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 to support the housing.
Ensure that cables are not stressed or crushed during installation, and ensure that the housing rests
on its base, and not on the cables.
Tip! When creating a strong foundation for the Inground 200, remember to allow for
drainage.
Cable installation
Important! The installer must make sure that all national safety regulations and legal
requirements are followed when selecting and installing cables, conduit, warning
tape, controllers and all related items for the Inground 200.
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.
Minimum 80cm cable slack
