4 MAC Aura XB user manual
• Socket outlets used to supply MAC Aura XB fixtures with power or external power switches must be
located near the fixtures and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.
• 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.
• 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.
• Connect only a cable with a Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W connector to the power input socket.
Connect only a cable with a Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 NAC3MX-W connector to the power throughput
socket. Suitable connectors are available from Martin™ (see “Accessories” on page 35).
• All power input cables used to connect the product to AC power and all power throughput cables used to
connect fixtures to each other so that they draw AC power in a chain must be minimum 14 AWG or
1.5 mm2, 16 amp-rated and temperature-rated to suit the application. In the USA and Canada, cables
must be UL-listed, type SJT or equivalent. In the EU, cables must be type H05VV-F or equivalent. Suitable
cables with Neutrik PowerCON connectors are available from Martin™ (see “Accessories” on page 35).
• If you use the correct cables and connectors as described above, you can connect fixtures to AC power in
a linked chain, MAINS OUT throughput socket to MAINS IN input socket, but do not link more than:
- three (3) MAC Aura XB fixtures at 100-120 V, 60 Hz or
- eight (8) MAC Aura XB fixtures at 200-240 V, 50 Hz.
• Do not connect devices to power in a chain that will exceed the electrical ratings of any cable or connector
used in the chain.
• Connect only other MAC Aura XB fixtures to the MAINS OUT power throughput socket. Do not connect
any other type of device to this socket.
• The voltage and frequency at the MAINS OUT power throughput socket are the same as the voltage and
frequency applied to the MAINS IN socket.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
• The exterior of the fixture becomes hot during use. After 5 minutes of operation a surface temperature of
67° C (153° F) shall be expected, and the maximum steady state is 70° C (158° F). Avoid contact by
persons and materials. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 10 minutes before handling.
• Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 200 mm (8 in.) away from the fixture.
• Keep flammable materials (e.g. volatile liquids, pyrotechnics, fuel of any kind) well away from the fixture.
• Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 1 m (3 ft. 4 in.) of the MAC Aura XB.
• Do not expose the front glass to sunlight or any other strong light source from any angle. Lenses can
focus the sun's rays inside the fixture, creating a potential fire hazard.
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
• Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual or the product’s User Guide or install
other than genuine Martin™ parts. Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any lens or other
optical component. Use only accessories approved by Martin™ to mask or modify the light beam.
PROTECTION FROM EYE INJURY
• Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may
concentrate the light output.
• Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any optical component.
• 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.
