Read this manual before installing, powering or servicing the product,
follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings in

PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
•Shut down power to the entire installation at the main power
distribution board and lock out power (by removing the fuse for
example) before carrying out any installation or maintenance work.

•Disconnect the luminaire from AC power before removing or installing
any cover or part and when not in use.
•The system does not support hot swap. Turn off AC power before
adding any luminaire to the system.
•Connect the Easypix Power electrically to ground (earth).
•Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault)
protection.
•Connect a maximum of 24 Easypix 300 luminaires or 6 Easypix 1200
luminaires or any mixture of Easypix 300 and 1200 luminaires that is
maximum 7.2 m long to one Easypix Power device.
•Before using the devices, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition and are rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices.
•Isolate all devices from power immediately if any cable, seal, cover or
other component is damaged, cracked or deformed. Do not reapply
power until repairs have been completed.
•The Easypix is for indoor use only.
•Refer any service operation not described in this manual to an
authorized Martin Service partner.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS
•Do not operate the devices if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds
40° C (104° F).
•The exterior of the luminaires and Easypix Power becomes hot, up to
65° C (149° F) during normal operation. Ensure that accidental
physical contact with the devices is impossible.
•Allow the luminaire to cool for 5 minutes before servicing.
•Keep combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least
20 cm (8 in.) away from the devices.
•Keep flammable materials well away from the devices.
•Do not modify the Easypix Power or luminaires in any way not
described in this manual or install other than genuine Martin parts.
•Use only Martin approved accessories to mask or modify the light
beam.
•Do not attempt to bypass fuses. Replace defective fuses with ones of
the specified type and rating only.
•Install the devices indoors in a well-ventilated area only. Provide a
minimum clearance of 5 cm (2 in.) and ensure unrestricted airflow
around the Easypix Power and the luminaires.

PROTECTION FROM INJURY
•Do not look at LEDs with a magnifying glass or any other optical
instrument that may concentrate the light output.
•Ensure that all external covers, components and installation fittings
are securely fastened.
•Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform
whenever installing, servicing or moving the devices.
•Ensure that all supporting structures, surfaces, fasteners and lifting
equipment can bear the weight of all the devices they are intended to
support plus an adequate safety margin, and that they conform to
local building and safety regulations.
•Use a sufficient number of fasteners with sufficient corrosion
resistance, dimensions and strength to mount the DIN rail safely. Any
nuts used must be self-locking.
•If the Easypix Power or luminaires are to be installed in a location
where injury or damage may be caused if a device falls, use a
secondary means of attachment such as safety wires looped tightly
around the devices and anchored securely to the mounting structure
or in the mounting surface.
