Safety information 5
• Ensure that the AC power distribution system includes a means of isolating all installed
devices from power and locking out power during service.
• Ensure that all components in the AC power distribution circuits (cables, junction boxes,
etc.) are protected from water and airborne particles to IP67 or higher, are suitably
dimensioned for the current and power requirements of the devices installed, and are of
suitable type for the location (including water, pollution, temperature and UV resistance).
• Do not expose any part of the luminaire to a high-pressure water jet.
• Do not expose the heat exchanger to water projections.
• Do not immerse the luminaire in water or any other fluid, or install it in a location where
flooding may occur.
• Refer all service not described in this manual to a Martin service technician.
Lamp safety
• Do not operate the luminaire with missing or damaged covers, shields, lenses or
ultraviolet screens: an unshielded discharge lamp emits UV radiation that can cause
burns and eye damage.
• Do not stare directly into the light output. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.
• A hot discharge lamp is under pressure and can explode without warning. Allow the
luminaire to cool for at least 20 minutes and protect yourself with safety glasses and
safety gloves before replacing the lamp or servicing the luminaire internals.
• If the quartz envelope of a discharge lamp is broken, the lamp releases a small quantity
of mercury and other toxic gases. If a discharge lamp explodes in a confined area,
evacuate the area and ventilate it thoroughly. Wear non-porous safety gloves when
handling a broken discharge lamp. Treat broken or used discharge lamps and used
safety gloves as hazardous waste and send to a specialist for disposal.
• Replace the lamp if it becomes visually deformed, damaged or in any way defective
• Replace the lamp at the latest when it reaches the limit of its average life as specified in
this manual or by the lamp manufacturer.
• Install only an approved lamp.
Protection from burns and fire
• Do not operate the luminaire if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 45° C (113° F).
• The exterior of the luminaire becomes hot, up to 90° C (194° F) during normal operation.
Ensure that accidental physical contact with an installed luminaire is impossible.
• Keep flammable materials well away from the luminaire.
• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 1 m (40 in.)
away from the luminaire.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 1 m (40 in.) of the luminaire.
• Allow the luminaire to cool for 20 minutes before servicing.
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses. Replace defective fuses with
ones of the specified type and rating only.
• Do not modify the luminaire in any way not described in this manual.
• Install only genuine Martin parts and approved lamps.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 135 mm (5.5 in.) and ensure unobstructed airflow
around the air vents in the heat exchanger cowling.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 150 mm (6 in.) between the top of the luminaire and
any part of a building above the luminaire.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 400 mm (16 in.) between the center of the luminaire
and any part of a building to the side of the luminaire.

6 Exterior 1200 Image Projector user manual
• Provide a minimum center-to-center distance of 800 mm (31.5 in.) between Exterior
1200 Image Projector luminaires.
• Install the luminaire outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
• Do not place filters or other materials over the lens. Use only Martin approved
accessories to mask or modify the light beam.
Preventing injury due to falls and while lifting
• Ensure that all external covers, components and installation fittings are securely
fastened.
• The luminaire weighs 90 kg (198.4 lbs.). At least two people are required to lift, move
and adjust it. Do not attempt to lift the luminaire or adjust the beam angle alone.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing,
servicing or moving the luminaire.
• 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 luminaire safely. Any nuts used must be self-locking. The washers
supplied with the luminaire must be installed directly under the fasteners’ heads when
anchoring the yoke base to the installation surface.
• The four eyebolts supplied are for lifting purposes during installation or service only. Do
not expose them to undue stress while lifting, by allowing the luminaire to drop and then
catching it again, for example. Do not use the eyebolts for safety attachment.

2.2 Introduction to the Exterior 1200
Image Projector
Thank you for selecting the Exterior 1200 Image Projector from Martin Architectural. This
automated luminaire combines dynamic architectural lighting effects with extremely bright
output in an aluminum housing designed for permanent outdoor installation. The luminaire
uses a Philips MSD 1200 metal halide discharge lamp with an average lamp life of 3000
hours. An air/air heat exchanger system ensures effective cooling.
All models feature independently variable 0 - 100% cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY)
color mixing as well as a color wheel with four positions for filters. A gobo animation wheel
and a rotating gobo wheel with interchangeable gobos are also provided. These effects
allow a vast range of animated images and patterns to be projected.
All models feature full-range continuous mechanical dimming.
The size of the projected image on all models can be controlled remotely using a
motorized zoom feature. Focus can also be controlled remotely, allowing sharp image
projections or soft focus animation effects, for example.
The Exterior 1200 Image Projector is available in the following optical configurations
(ranges indicate minimum and maximum zoom limits):
All dynamic effects can be controlled using industry-standard DMX intelligent lighting
control technology or run independent or synchronized stand-alone light shows that do not
require external control. Stand-alone light show start and stop times can either be
programmed using the luminaire’s onboard clock or triggered by ambient light level within
programmed times.
A permanent CTC filter is also available as an accessory. The permanent filter allows
precise color matching with other luminaires with different lamps.
This advanced product requires regular service and maintenance in order to ensure
optimum operation and protect the investment it represents. Installation, on-site service
and maintenance can be provided worldwide by the Martin Global Service organization
and its authorized agents. Choosing a Martin service contract gives owners access to
Martin’s expertise and product knowledge in a partnership that will ensure the highest
level of performance throughout the product’s lifetime.

(15 ¾ in.) from the end of the luminaire and the luminaire’s weight is balanced in the
yoke.
4. Tighten the yoke clamp locking screws and tilt lock screws to 16 Nm (11.8 ft.-lbs.).
Installing the lamp and removing protective packaging
See Figure 2. Before the Exterior 1200 Image Projector can be used, you must open it,
remove the shipping bracket (A) from the lenses and protective foam insert (B) from
around the CMY flags, and then install the lamp supplied with the product. It will almost
certainly be easiest if you do this now, before the luminaire is installed in its final location.
Important! Keep the shipping bracket and foam insert for future use and install them
if you ever need to transport the luminaire.
See "8.5.3: Installing the lamp" on page 64 for instructions on opening the luminaire and
installing the lamp.
3.1.2 Location and mounting
Lifting
DANGER! Use only the lifting eyebolts provided to lift the luminaire. Eyebolts must
be securely installed with washers at all four corners of the luminaire as illustrated
below.
See Figure 3. The Exterior 1200 Image Projector is supplied with four eyebolts for lifting
purposes during installation or service. Do not use any other method to lift the luminaire.
The eyebolts screw into blocks in the yoke slider channels on each side of the fixture. Use
the supplied washers to avoid damage to the luminaire housing. Make sure that eyebolts

are firmly screwed in and will not slide in the channels before attempting to lift the
luminaire.
Do not expose the eyebolts to undue stress while lifting, by allowing the luminaire to drop
and then catching it again, for example. Do not use the eyebolts for safety attachment.
Location and orientation
DANGER! The Exterior 1200 Image Projector mounting yoke base must be securely
anchored to a suitable flat surface. Ensure that the supporting structure can bear
the weight of all installed devices plus an adequate safety margin.
Consult a qualified engineer to determine a suitable anchoring method and to verify that
the structure can safely bear the luminaire’s weight.
The Exterior 1200 Image Projector is rated
UL Wet Location. When choosing a
location for installation, consider that the
main housing has an ingress protection
(IP) rating of 65, but that the heat
exchanger unit must be protected from
rain or direct water projections that might
fill the heat exchanger with water and
cause overheating. The luminaire may
therefore be installed in any orientation,
but it must be positioned so that the heat
exchanger is on the lower side of the
luminaire (see Figure 4). If necessary,
loosen the yoke tilt lock screws (Bin
Figure 1) and reposition the yoke.
Allow for service access to the front and rear of the luminaire.
The Exterior 1200 Image Projector can be installed outdoors but:
• Do not expose it to high-pressure water jets from any direction
• Do not immerse it in water (or any other fluid)
• Do not install it in a location where flooding may occur.
Ensure sufficient drainage to cope with the heaviest rainfall. Make sure that water can
drain away from the installation area at least as fast as it can enter it.
Figure 3: Lifting eyebolts
Figure 4: Heat exchanger position

Physical installation 17
The Exterior 1200 Image Projector requires free and unobstructed airflow around the heat
exchanger to ensure adequate cooling:
• Do not bury the luminaire or locate it in an unventilated space
• Allow 135 mm (5.5 in.) free space around the heat exchanger
• Make sure that leaves, litter or other debris cannot be sucked into the heat exchanger,
as blockages may cause overheating and result in damage that is not covered by the
product warranty.
Install the luminaire at least 1 m (40 in.) away from the surface to be illuminated and any
combustible materials (wood, paper, etc.) and well away from any flammable materials.
The aluminum housing reaches temperatures up to 90° C (194° F). Restrict public access
or locate the luminaire so that it cannot accidentally be touched.
Mounting fasteners
DANGER! All fasteners used to mount the Exterior 1200 Image Projector must be
corrosion-resistant and strong enough to mount the luminaire safely. The washers
supplied with the luminaire must be installed directly under the fasteners’ heads
when anchoring the yoke base to the installation surface.
The mounting yoke allows the luminaire to be manually panned (i.e. rotated horizontally)
and tilted for beam aiming adjustment. The yoke base must be safely anchored to a
horizontal surface. The number and type of fasteners used will depend on the installation,
but use at least four high-strength corrosion-resistant fasteners (recommended minimum
properties: A4-70 grade according to ISO 3506 or grade 8.8 according to ISO 898-1)
evenly distributed around the yoke base. Any nuts used must be self-locking. The
washers supplied with the luminaire must be installed between the head of each fastener
and the yoke base.
To mount the luminaire, evenly space 12 mm (1/2 inch) thread diameter bolts at 90°
intervals on a 123.5 mm (4.86 inch) radius from the center of the mounting location, so
that one bolt passes through each curved slot in the yoke base (see Figure 5). Install the
washers supplied with the luminaire under the heads of bolts. If additional bolts are
required to mount the luminaire safely, pan adjustment range will be reduced.

3.1.4 Connections compartment access
DANGER! Fuseholders remain live even if the MAINS switch is set to off. Cut power
to the luminaire before changing a fuse.
To gain access to the connections compartment:
1. If the luminaire has been in use, allow it to
cool completely.
2. If you intend to open a main fuseholder, cut
AC power to the luminaire and ensure that
power cannot be reapplied accidentally by
locking it out.
3. See Figure 7. Loosen the screws in the rear
cover plate and carefully remove the plate
and seal.
4. If you intend to alter any connections, shut
down AC power by setting the MAINS switch
to 0(off). Before you touch any connectors,
use a tester to check that they are not live.
After access to the connections compartment:
1. Check the condition of the rear cover seal. Replace with a new item if the seal is torn,
cracked or brittle.
2. Hold the rear cover plate and seal firmly against the luminaire housing. Adjust the
sides of the seal so that the seal sticks out a little, just enough so that you can feel the
seal when you run a finger across the joint.
3. Cross-tighten the cover plate screws gradually and evenly to 2 Nm (1.5 ft.-lbs.). At this
torque, the seal will be compressed by about one-third and will offer protection to IP65.

3.2 Installing AC power
DANGER! Read "Safety information" on page 4 before attempting to install this
product.
Electrical installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only.
For protection from dangerous electric shock, the luminaire must be grounded
(earthed). The AC power distribution system must be fitted with current overload
and ground-fault (earth-fault) circuit breakers as well as a means to isolate
luminaires from power and lock out power during service.
Important! Do not connect the Exterior 1200 Image Projector to an electrical dimmer
system. Doing so can damage the electronics.
See Figure 6 on page 18 for a schematic diagram of cable layout.
If there is a break or cut at any point in a cable (for example at a connection point), and if
this is exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cable due to the
vacuum effect of temperature fluctuations during operation. Ensure that the luminaire is
protected from the entry of water via the power cable by using IP65-rated connectors or
junction boxes, or by protecting connectors with weatherproof housings.
The Exterior 1200 Image Projector must be supplied with power via an electrical cable
that is adequately dimensioned for the current requirements and suitable for the
installation environment, particularly with regard to water, pollution, thermal and UV
resistance. Use Hypalon or neoprene rubber-jacket cable rated to 90° C (194° F)
minimum. The conductor size must be 1.5 mm2(16 AWG) minimum. Check that all power
cables are in perfect condition.
See "Exterior 1200 Image Projector specifications" on page 86 for details of fuse rating
and typical current. If you require help in planning or dimensioning the power distribution
system, please contact your Martin Architectural supplier for assistance.
Electrical power installation consists of two steps:
1. Configuring for local AC power
2. Connecting to AC power.
3.2.1 Configuring for local AC power
Before AC power is applied to the Exterior 1200 Image Projector for the first time (or if the
AC power voltage or frequency changes), the luminaire must be configured to accept the
local power voltage and frequency as described in this section.
The Exterior 1200 Image Projector can accept the following AC voltages at 50 or 60 Hz:
Operating at the incorrect power setting can result in overheating and damage to the
luminaire and lamp. If your local power voltage differs from the voltage settings listed here
and in the luminaire, contact your Martin Architectural supplier for assistance.
