Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Martin Cyclo 03 Directional. The Cyclo 03
Directional is a dynamic fluorescent color changing luminaire that can be
programmed for stand-alone operation or controlled via DMX.
The Cyclo 03 Directional is designed for dynamic color illumination of walls
and surfaces. A patented optical system ensures effective color mixing
within the main reflector, allowing the luminaire to be positioned close to the
illuminated surface without color hot-spots. Dimmable T5 fluorescent tubes
combine high efficiency, bright color and long lamp life.
The Cyclo 03 Directional can be surface-mounted or mounted on standard
3-phase lighting track. It can be tilted through 250°, allowing flexibility of
installation.
Control cables are through-wired for easy installation.
The Cyclo 03 Directional features:
• Controllable RGB color-mixing
• Full 0-100% intensity control of the red, green and blue tubes
• High output, long life T5 fluorescent tubes
• Flexible mounting options
• 250° of tilt

Safety information
Warning! This product is for professional use only. It is not for household
use.
These products present risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat,
electric shock and falls. Read this manual before powering or installing
these luminaires, follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all
warnings in this manual and on the luminaires. If you have questions about

6Cyclo 03 Directional user manual
how to operate these luminaires safely, please contact your Martin dealer or
call the Martin 24-hour service hotline at [phone].
Protection from electric shock
• Disconnect the luminaire from AC power before removing or installing a
tube or any part, and when not in use.
• Always ground (earth) the luminaire electrically.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes and has both overload and ground (earth) fault protection.
• Ensure that the luminaire’s live and neutral conductors are both
connected to the same RCD (ground fault circuit-breaker)
• Do not expose the luminaires to rain or moisture.
• Refer all service to a Martin service technician.
Protection from burns and fire
• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around the
luminaire.
• Do not modify the luminaire or install other than genuine Martin parts.
• Do not operate the luminaire if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40°
C (104° F).
Protection from injury due to falls
• Ensure that all components and installation fittings are securely fastened.
• Ensure that all supporting structures, surfaces and fasteners can bear the
weight of all luminaires installed.
• Block access below the work area whenever installing, servicing or
removing the luminaire.

Installation 7
Installation
This section describes in general terms how to install the luminaire, connect
it to AC power and connect control data cables. These procedures must be
performed by qualified professionals.
Mounting
The Cyclo 03 Directional features two mounting options:
• track-mounting on standard 3-phase lighting track
• surface-mounting using mounting brackets that are available as
accessories.
Warning! Check that all fasteners, structures and surfaces used to mount
the Cyclo 03 Directional can bear the total weight of all devices
installed.
Work from a stable platform and block access below the work
area when installing or servicing luminaires above head-height.
Lighting track mounting
The Cyclo 03 Directional can be mounted on lighting track from all major
manufacturers (Nokia, Erco, Zumtobel, iGuzzini, Nordic Aluminium, etc.)
3mm

8Cyclo 03 Directional user manual
A 3mm Allen key is required for this operation.
To mount a Cyclo 03 Directional on lighting track:
1. Isolate the lighting track from the power supply and ensure that power
cannot be reapplied, even accidentally.
2. Hold the luminaire up to the lighting track and slide the ends of the
mounting arms into the slot in the track.
3. Supporting the luminaire in position, fully tighten the 3mm Allen screws in
the side of each mounting arm.
4. Check that the luminaire is held firmly in place before reapplying power.
Lighting track dimensions
can vary slightly between
manufacturers. If the Cyclo
03 Directional is not held
firmly in place, you may need
to repeat the above
procedure, adding the square
spacers supplied with the
luminaire to take up any
clearance between the
mounting arms and the
lighting track.

Installation 9
Surface mounting
The Cyclo 03 Directional can be
surface-mounted on a floor, wall or
ceiling using a bracket kit that is
available as an accessory.
To surface-mount the Cyclo 03
Directional:
1. Ensure that the surface on which
you want to mount the Cyclo 03
Directional can support the
weight of all the luminaires
installed on it.
2. Mark up two points 1100mm
(43.3 in.) apart as center points
for the mounting brackets. Allow
enough space around the center
points for the 110mm (4.3 in.)
square cover plates
3. Hold each mounting bracket against the mounting surface so that the
raised ridge in the bracket runs at 90° to the long side of the Cyclo 03
Directional (see illustrations), and so that the center point you have
marked is visible in the middle of the rectangular hole in the center of the
bracket.
4. Mark the mounting surface using the holes at the corners of each bracket
as guides, and drill holes in the mounting surface for the fasteners.
5. Fasten the mounting brackets to the surface using eight high-tensile
(grade 8.8 or over) M5 fasteners (screws, masonry bolts, etc.). Note that
the ridge in the bracket must be at 90° to the long side of the luminaire.

6. Clip the bracket covers over the brackets with the long side of the
rectangular hole at 90% to the.Cyclo 03 Directional.
7. Hold the luminaire up to the mounting brackets. Slide the ends of the
mounting arms through the rectangular holes in the bracket covers and
into the mounting brackets.
8. Carefully supporting the luminaire, fully tighten the 3mm Allen screws in
the side of each mounting arm.
9. Check that the luminaire is totally secure.
AC power
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all local safety regulations
and legal requirements are observed when installing and connecting the
Cyclo 03 Directional.
AC mains power compatibility and consumption data are given in the
Specifications section on page 31.
Warning! Many installations use common neutral conductors in branch
circuit distribution boxes. The neutral lead in the cable must be
connected to the same RCD (ground fault circuit breaker) as the
live lead in the cable. If it is not, users are left unprotected from
the risk of potentially lethal electric shock. It is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure that the Cyclo 03 Directional’s neutral
conductor is connected to the same RCD as the live conductor.
Important! Cyclo 03 Directional luminaires incorporate four electronic
ballasts that “leak” a total current of between 0.8mA and 4mA to
ground (earth). Luminaires must be correctly connected to
ground so that this “leakage” current can be absorbed.
It is also important that installation is carried out correctly in
order to avoid unintentional tripping of the RCD (ground fault
circuit breaker). Because of the “leakage” current, we
recommend connecting a maximum of seven Cyclo 03
Directional luminaires per phase when circuits are protected by
a 30mA RCD. Bear in mind that some RCDs rated at 30mA may
trip when current leakage to ground is as low as 20mA.
Connecting to mains power
Cyclo 03 Directional luminaires have an ENSTO male connector built into
the casing for mains power input. A female ENSTO connector is supplied
with the luminaire for installation on the power supply cable.

Installation 11
To draw power from lighting track, a suitable power take-off plug from the
lighting track supplier must be installed on the power supply cable in
accordance with the lighting track supplier’s instructions.
Some common color-coding systems for mains wiring is given below:
When installing the female ENSTO connector on the power cable, note the
markings next to the screw terminals:
• The terminal marked 1must be connected
to the live wire.
• The centre terminal marked must be
connected to the ground (earth) wire.
• The terminal marked Nmust be connected
the neutral wire.

Data linking multiple luminaires
You need to create a serial data link to:
• Operate two or more Cyclo 03 Directionals in master/slave stand-alone
mode, where all luminaires run a synchronized light show without a
separate DMX control device
• Control luminaires with a DMX control device.
A reliable data connection requires suitable cable. CAT 5 (category 5) UTP
(unshielded twisted pair) network cable is suitable for this purpose. Your
Martin Architectural dealer can advise and supply suitable cable.
Luminaires on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in one single line,
maximum 500 meters (1640 ft.) long, with maximum 32 luminaires. To
exceed 32 luminaires or 500 meters, or to add branches, an optically
isolated amplifier-splitter such as the Martin RS-485 Opto-Splitter (P/N
90758060) must be used.
Data cable can be connected to the Cyclo 03 Directional via RJ-45 sockets
that are wired as follows:
• pins 7 & 8 to ground (earth)
• pin 2 to signal - (cold)
• pin 1 to signal + (hot).
Master
Slave
Slave
DMX controller
Master/slave link
DMX control link
Termination plug Termination plug

Installation 13
To create the data link:
1. Use suitable cable to connect one of the RJ-45 sockets on the first Cyclo
03 Directional to an RJ-45 socket on the next luminaire.
2. Continue connecting up to 32 luminaires using the RJ-45 sockets.
3. Terminate the link by inserting a an RJ-45 DMX termination plug (P/N
91613028) in the RJ-45 data output of the last luminaire.
4. If using a DMX control device, use suitable cable to connect the device’s
DMX output to one of the RJ-45 sockets on the first Cyclo 03 Directional.
TIp! Random “flicker” and other unexplained control problems
during stand-alone master/slave operation can often be cured
by inserting an RJ-45 DMX termination plug into the unused
socket of the first luminaire.
Burning in fluorescent tubes
Optimum tube performance is obtained after burning in new fluorescent
tubes for 100 hours at full power.

14 Cyclo 03 Directional user manual
Stand-alone operation
In stand-alone operation, the Cyclo 03 Directional can be used without a
DMX controller. Static single colors or two-color mixes can be displayed, or
luminaires can be programmed to change colors in cycles. Changes can be
programmed at 1, 5, 10 or 30 second intervals.
Two stand-alone operation modes are available:
•Insingle stand-alone operation, luminaires run independently of each
other. No data link is required.
•Inmaster/slave stand-alone operation,luminaires must be linked.
Synchronized action in all luminaires is triggered by one “master”
luminaire.
In both single and master/slave stand-alone operation, luminaires are
programmed via the pins on the DIP switch on the luminaire’s housing as
shown in Table 1.

A quick reference table covering DIP switch functions is also provided on
the back cover of this manual.
Stand-alone operation settings
Activating colors
DIP switch pins 1 to 3 each activate a color in the stand-alone program.
Setting program speed
Combinations of DIP switch pins 5 and 6 allow one of four different speeds
to be set.
Fading between colors
If DIP switch 7 is set to OFF (blackout fading), colors fade to almost
blackout before the next color fades in.
If DIP switch 7 is set to ON (crossfading), color fading overlaps. If two or
more colors are active, one color fades in while another is fading out, giving
a color mixing effect. For example, if red and blue are activated and
crossfading is selected, colors will crossfade from red through purple to
blue, then back through purple to red in a continuous cycle (see example).

Setting a static color display
In stand-alone operation, a static (non-changing) color display can be set by
pausing the program at the point where it is showing the desired color.
Either one color or a mix of two colors can be “frozen” in this way.
To set a static color display:
1. Activate the color you wish to display (if you wish to display a two-color
mix, activate these two colors) on DIP switch pins 1 to 3.
2. Set the luminaire as master by setting DIP switch pin 9 to OFF.
3. Set DIP switch pins 5 and 6 to ON to activate the slowest program speed.
4. Set DIP switch pin 7 to OFF to activate crossfading and DIP switch pin 8
to OFF to activate the program.
5. When the desired color or color mix appears, pause the program by
moving DIP switch 8 to ON. This color will remain “frozen” until DIP
switch 8 is moved to OFF.
Note that the paused color is lost when the luminaire is powered off. When
powering the luminaire on again, DIP switch pin 8 must be moved to OFF
before the program will start.
Single stand-alone operation
In single stand-alone operation, a luminaire runs its own program
independently of all other luminaires. To do this, the luminaire must be set
as a master.
Activating single stand-alone operation
To activate single stand-alone operation:
1. Set DIP switch pin 10 to ON (activates stand-alone mode).
2. Set DIP switch pin 9 to OFF (activates master mode).
3. Apply power and program the luminaire using DIP switch pins 1 - 8 (see
"Table 1. Stand-alone DIP switch settings" on page 14).
Master/slave stand-alone operation
Important! Do not set more than one luminaire on a data link as master,
and do not set a luminaire as master on a data link with a DMX

Stand-alone operation 17
controller. Doing so may cause damage to the electronics that is
not covered by the product warranty.
In master/slave stand-alone operation, one master luminaire transmits a
synchronizing signal to slave luminaires over the data link each time it starts
a new action. Slave luminaires start their next programmed action when
they receive this signal from the master luminaire. Programs can be
identical on all luminaires, or luminaires can – subject to certain practical
constraints – run programs that are synchronized but not identical.
Note that:
• Colors are always displayed in the order: red, then green, then blue. This
means that if red is activated, it will always be first in the program. If red is
not activated but green is activated, green will be first in the program.
• Each luminaire follows the program set on its own DIP switch as
described in "Table 1. Stand-alone DIP switch settings" on page 14.
More sophisticated light shows can be programmed using a DMX controller
(see “DMX controlled operation” on page 21).
The synchronization signal used by the Cyclo 03 Directional is identical to
that used in other 3-tube Cyclo luminaires, allowing these products to be
combined in master/slave operation on one data link. However, it is not
compatible with 4-tube Cyclos. Consult your Martin Architectural dealer if
you need advice on combining and controlling products.
Identical light shows
Master and slave luminaires can be set to behave identically. In this mode,
the master sends synchronizing signals to the slaves, and all luminaires run
the same light show. Each slave luminaire follows the program set on its
own DIP switch, so for identical operation, all luminaires’ DIP switch settings
must be the same apart from pin 9, which is set to ON for slaves and OFF
for the master.
Synchronized non-identical light shows
It is also possible to synchronize changes but program slave luminaires to
behave differently from the master. To use this feature effectively, you need
to plan your light show using scenes as building blocks and set the
luminaires’ DIP switches accordingly.
A scene is a change from one ouput to another. When a luminaire is in slave
mode, it starts a scene when it receives a synchronization signal from the
master. The time taken by the scene is determined by the speed setting of
the DIP switch. A slave will not respond to new synchronization signals until
its scene is complete.

18 Cyclo 03 Directional user manual
When crossfading is selected, each color takes up one scene (fade in only).
When blackout fading is selected, each color takes up two scenes (fade in
and fade out). This means that a maximum of 6 scenes can be programmed
with all 3 colors activated and blackout fading selected.
Each time the master luminaire starts at scene 1, it sends a signal to all the
slave luminaires to start at scene 1. This means that if a slave luminaire has:
1. Fewer scenes than the master luminaire, it will run these in a cycle until
the master luminaire signals that the program should start from the
beginning again.
2. More scenes than the master, the additional scenes will never run,
because the program will reset to the first scene when the master starts
its program from the beginning.
Here is an example of what will happen when a slave luminaire has fewer
scenes than the master luminaire:
Program examples
The following examples show how an individual luminaire’s program is

1. Power all luminaires off.
2. Set all luminaires as slaves and put them into stand-alone mode by
setting DIP switch pins 9 and 10 to ON.
3. Decide which luminaire to use as master and set this luminaire’s DIP
switch pin 9 to OFF. Note that any luminaire can be set as master, but

you will obtain the most reliable data signal by either setting the first
luminaire on the link as master or using RJ-45 DMX termination plugs at
both ends of the data link.
4. When power is applied, slave luminaires will go to the next scene in their
program each time the master goes to its next scene. Slave luminaires
will also start scene 1 of their programs each time the master starts
scene 1 of its program.
