Protection from eye injury

This fixture corresponds to Risk Group 3 according to EN 62471 when all photobiological

risks are considered and Risk Group 2 product according to IEC/TR 62778 for blue light

only. It emits possibly hazardous optical radiation. It falls into the Risk Group categories

shown below according to both EN 62471 and IEC/TR 62778 under worst-case

conditions:

At a distance of less than 1.6 m (5.2 ft.) from the fixture, the light output can potentially

cause eye or skin injury before an exposed person's natural aversion responses (blink

reflex and reaction to skin discomfort) can protect them. At distances greater than 1.6 m

(5.2 ft.), potential eye and skin injury hazards from the light output are normally

prevented by natural aversion reflexes.

Position the fixture so that persons cannot be exposed to the fixture's light output at a

distance of less than 1.6 m (5.2 ft.) from the fixture and so that prolonged staring into the

light output at less than 16.3 m (53.5 ft.) from the fixture is not expected.

Do not look directly into the product’s light output.

Do not look at the light output with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical

instruments that may concentrate the light output.

Ensure that persons are not looking directly into the front of the fixture 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 operating light source. Eye injury may result.

Disconnect the fixture from power at all times when the fixture is not in use.

Provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or near the

fixture.

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/or 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 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.

Allow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with an object

or another fixture when it moves.

Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.

Warning! The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation location,

anchoring method, mounting hardware and electrical installation are the

responsibility of the installer. All local safety regulations and legal requirements must

be observed when installing and connecting the ERA 300 fixture. Installation must be

carried out by qualified professionals only.

Contact your Martin supplier for assistance if you have any questions about how to install this

product safely.

Fixture location

The ERA 300 fixture is intended for interior use only. Do not install outside or in damp or humid

locations. The fixture requires free and unobstructed airflow around it to ensure adequate cooling.

Observe the following limitations in selecting a location:

• Respect the limitations listed under Safety information’ on page 4.

• Do not locate the fixture in an unventilated space.

Mounting the fixture

Warning! All fasteners used to mount ERA 300 fixtures must be strong enough

to hold the fixture safely. Install a washer directly under the head of each fastener

when anchoring the mounting bracket to the installation surface.

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface

The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface in any orientation. Ensure that the surface

and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment they

will support.

Fasten the fixture securely or stand it securely on a level surface. If you install the fixture in a

location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed below with a securely

anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any

orientation. Use suitable rigging clamps such as a G-clamp or a half-coupler

clamp (see illustration on right) fastened to the included omega brackets.

To clamp the fixture to a truss:

1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight

of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

2. Block access under the work area.

3. The fixture is supplied with a pair of omega-type brackets to which rigging

clamps can be attached. Bolt a rigging clamp securely to each bracket. The

bolts used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum, and fastened with a

self-locking nut.

Martin® ERA 300 Profile user manual 11

4. Fasten the omega brackets to mounting holes A

on the base of the fixture using the bracket’s

quarter-turn fasteners. Turn quarter-turn

fasteners a full 90° to lock them (see illustration

AC power connection

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ starting on page 4 before installing the fixture.

Warning! The power input cable supplied with the fixture 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 socket when using this input cable. If you want to connect other devices

to the MAINS OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ below.

For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power

distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault

(earth-fault) protection.

Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this may cause damage

to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.

The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it

permanently. Alternatively, you can install a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for your local

power outlets on the power cable. 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.

If you install a power plug on the supplied power cable, install a grounding type (earthed) plug with

integral cable grip that is suitable for your local mains voltage at a current of 6 A. Follow the plug

manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in this table:

Live or L Neutral or N Earth, Ground or

US system Black White Green

EU system Brown Blue Yellow/green

The fixture has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power at 100-240 V at 50/60

Hz. Do not apply AC mains power at any other voltage or frequency to the fixture.

Linking fixtures to power in a chain

The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 6 A and can safely supply power to

one fixture only. If you want to use the MAINS OUT socket on the fixture to relay power to the next

fixture in a daisy-chain, you must replace the supplied power input cable with a 16 A rated

12 AWG or 2.5 mm2 power input cable available as an accessory from Martin (see ‘Accessories’

on page 35). To relay power between fixtures you must use 16 A rated power relay cables

available as accessories from Martin (also listed under ‘Accessories’ on page 35).

Using the 12 AWG or 2.5 mm2

power input and power relay cables available as accessories from

Martin, you can link:

• Maximum three (3) ERA 300 fixtures in total at 100-120 V, or

• Maximum five (5) ERA 300 fixtures in total at 200-240 V.

If you install a power plug on a 12 AWG or 2.5 mm2 power input cable, use a grounding type

(earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 16 A and has the correct voltage

rating for your local power supply.

Martin® ERA 300 Profile user manual 13

Data network requirements

A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The fixture has 3-pin and 5-

pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.

DMXCONTROLLER

DMX OUT

Up to 32 devices can be linked together on a single daisy chain. The total number of fixtures in one

512-channel DMX universe is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures.

Note that if independent control of a fixture is required, it must have its own DMX channels.

Fixtures that are required to behave identically can share the same DMX address and channels.

To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limits are reached, add another DMX

universe or split the daisy-chained link into branches using a powered RDM-compatible DMX

splitter.

Tips for reliable data transmission

Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot

transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters

(1000 ft.). Heavier gauge cable and/or a DMX buffer is recommended for longer runs. The pin-out

on all connectors is:

• pin 1 = shield

• pin 2 = cold (-)

• pin 3 = hot (+).

Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the fixture but are available for possible

additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard. Standard pin-out is pin 4 = data 2

cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).

Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The

termination plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 Ohm, 0.25 W resistor soldered between

pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference.

To split the link into branches, use an opto-isolated RDM-compatible splitter such as the Martin

RDM 5.5 Splitter. Do not split the link by connecting to both the 3-pin and 5-pin output sockets as

this may cause data errors. If you use a splitter, terminate each branch of the link.

14 Martin® ERA 300 Profile user manual

Connecting the data link

To connect the fixture to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s male XLR DMX input

connector.

2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue

connecting fixtures output to input.

3. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a DMX termination plug.

Martin® ERA 300 Profile user manual 15

Fixture Setup

This section explains the fixture characteristics you can set that determine how it can be controlled

and will behave. You choose the settings using the menus available from the control panel, and

they are retained even when the fixture is powered off.

Options can also be set over the DMX line using RDM from a suitable controller, see “Setting

options by RDM” on page 19.

Setting DMX address

Each fixture must be assigned a DMX address. The DMX address, also known as the start

channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture is

controlled using 21 DMX channels. If a fixture has a DMX address of 001, then it uses channels 1

to 21 inclusive. The following fixture in the DMX chain can then be set to a DMX address of 013.

For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two fixtures of

the same type may share the same address if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can

be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the

inverse pan and tilt options.

You can remotely configure the fixture over the DMX line using an RDM-compatible DMX

controller.

A full list of the RDM functions that the ERA 300 fixture supports is given at the end of this chapter.

These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’ or ‘Parameter IDs’.

Scanning for RDM devices on the data link

Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a scan command (also

called a device discovery command) to all the devices on the data link so that the RDM controller

can identify them. It does this by retrieving each device’s factory-set unique identifier (UID). This

process can take some time depending on the number of devices on the link.

Getting status and setting options by RDM

The status and options listed in the table below can be read and set by RDM.

You can set an option on one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that one fixture only,

or you can set the same option on all the fixtures on the data link by sending a broadcast RDM

command to all the devices on the link.

For status reading, you can only use unicast RDM to read information from an individual fixture.

Effects

This section describes the effects provided by the ERA 300 Profile. See ‘DMX protocol’ on page 26

for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects.

Dimming

Overall intensity can be precisely adjusted from 0 to 100% using 16-bit coarse and fine control.

Strobe effects

An electronic shutter provides instant open and blackout, random and variable speed flash from 1

to 12 flashes per second, and pulse effects.

Pan and tilt

The fixture’s head can be panned through 540° and tilted through 260° with 16-bit coarse and fine

control. Using the control menus, it is possible to invert pan or tilt movement. A position feedback

circuit provides automatic position correction if the fixture is knocked out of position.

Light output can be set to black out when the head moves using the “Blackout Pan/Tilt move

Enable” command on DMX channel 21.

Colors

The fixture has fully variable CMY color mixing.

In addition, a color wheel provides the 9 colors listed below plus an open position. Colors can be

selected in full position steps or continuously scrolled to give split colors. The wheel can be rotated

at varying speeds, both clockwise and counter-clockwise.

Slot 1: Open

Slot 2: Light Blue

Slot 3: Dark Green

Slot 4: Pink

Slot 5: Orange

Slot 6: Light Green

Slot 7: Magenta

Slot 8: Light Yellow

Slot 9: Dark Blue

Slot 10: Dark Red
