Protection from electric shock
Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.
Disconnect the fixture from AC power before carrying out any
installation or maintenance work, such as changing the lamp,
and when the fixture is not in use.
Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected 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.
Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the
fixture with power must be located near the fixture and easily
accessible so that the fixture can easily be disconnected from
power.
Replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and
rating only.
Isolate the fixture from power immediately if the power plug or
any seal, cover, cable, or other component is damaged,
defective, deformed, wet or showing signs of overheating. Do
not reapply power until repairs have been completed.

6 RUSH Wizard User Manual
Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution
equipment and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the
current requirements of all connected devices.
Use only Neutrik PowerCon cable connectors to connect to the
fixture’s power sockets.
Do not connect devices to power in a chain that will exceed the
electrical ratings of any cable or connector used in the chain.
The supplied power input cable is rated 6 A and can safely
supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any
device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT connector when using this
cable. If you replace this cable and also use the replacement
cable to supply only one fixture with mains power, the
replacement cable must also be rated 6 A minimum, have three
conductors 18 AWG or 0.75 mm² minimum conductor size, have
an outer cable diameter of 6 - 15 mm (0.2 - 0.6 in.) and be
temperature-rated to suit the application. In the USA and
Canada the cable must be UL listed, type SJT or equivalent. In
the EU the cable must be type H05VV-F or equivalent.
To connect fixtures to mains power in a chain, you must first
obtain 14 AWG or 1.5 mm2power input and throughput cables
that are 16 A rated and temperature-rated to suit the
application. In the USA and Canada the cables must be UL-
listed, type SJT or equivalent. In the EU the cables must be
type H05VV-F or equivalent. Suitable cables with Neutrik
PowerCon connectors are available from Martin™ (see
‘Accessories’ on page 47). If you use these cables, you can
connect fixtures to power in a linked chain, MAINS OUT
throughput socket to MAINS IN input socket, but do not link
more than:
•six (6) RUSH Wizard fixtures in total at 100-120 V, or
•twelve (12) RUSH Wizard fixtures in total at 200-240 V.
The voltage and frequency at the MAINS OUT socket are the
same as the voltage and frequency applied to the MAINS IN
socket. Only connect devices to the MAINS OUT socket that
accept this voltage and frequency.
Protection from burns and fire
Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta)
exceeds 40° C (104° F).

RUSH Wizard User Manual 7
The surface of the product casing can reach up to 75° C
(167° F) during operation. Avoid contact by persons and
materials. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 30 minutes before
handling.
Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture. Keep all
combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 100
mm (4 in.) away from the fixture.
Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the
fixture. Provide a minimum clearance of 100 mm (4 in.) around
fans and air vents.
Do not illuminate surfaces within 200 mm (7.9 ins.) of the
fixture.
Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any optical
component.
Lamp safety
Install only a lamp that is approved for use in the product.
Prolonged exposure to an unshielded discharge lamp can cause
eye and skin burns. Do not stare directly into the light output.
Do not look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.
Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers,
shields, lenses, ultraviolet screens or any optical component.
A hot discharge lamp is under pressure and can explode without
warning. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 30 minutes and
protect yourself with safety glasses and gloves before handling a
lamp.
Replace the lamp immediately if it becomes visually deformed,
damaged or in any way defective.
Monitor hours of lamp use and lamp intensity and replace the
lamp when it reaches the limit of its service life as specified in
this manual or by the lamp manufacturer.
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 nitrite gloves when handling a

8 RUSH Wizard User Manual
broken discharge lamp. Treat broken or used discharge lamps
as hazardous waste and send to a specialist for disposal.
Protection from eye injury
The fixture emits infrared and ultraviolet rays that are not
normally visible but that may be harmful to the eyes and skin.
Do not stare at an operating lamp. Minimize exposure to eyes
or skin. Use appropriate shielding or eye protection.
Do not stare directly into the light output.
Ensure that persons are not looking directly into the light output
when the product lights up suddenly. This can happen when
power is applied, when the product receives a DMX signal, or
when certain control menu items are selected.
Do not look at the light output with magnifiers, telescopes,
binoculars or similar optical instruments that may concentrate
the light output.
To minimize the risk of eye irritation or injury, disconnect the
fixture from power at all times when the fixture is not in use, and
provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of
anyone working on or near the fixture.
Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers,
shields or any optical component. If shields, lenses or ultraviolet
screens have become visibly damaged to such an extent that
their effectiveness is impaired, for example by cracks or deep
scratches, return the fixture to an authorized Martin™ service
agent for replacement.
Protection from injury
Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when
in use. The fixture is not portable when installed.
Ensure that any supporting structure and hardware used can
hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the fixture to a
rigging clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means
of support.
If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury
or damage if it falls, install as directed in this manual a
secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold the
fixture if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment

RUSH Wizard User Manual 9
must be approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety
attachment for the weight that it secures, must comply with EN
60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and must be capable of bearing a
static suspended load that is ten times the weight of the fixture
and all installed accessories.
Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are
securely fastened.
Block access below the work area and work from a stable
platform whenever installing, servicing or moving the fixture.
In the event of an operating problem, stop using the fixture
immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to
use a fixture that is obviously damaged.
Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine RUSH by
Martin™ parts.
Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a
qualified technician.
