Warning Class 2M LED product Do not look into the beam from a distance of less than 40 cm 16 inches Do not stare into the beam for extended periods at a short distance Do not view the beam directly with optical instruments This product is for professional use only It is not for household use This product presents risks of severe injury or death due to fire hazards electric shock and falls Read this manual before installing powering or servicing the fixture follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the fixture If you have questions about how to operate the fixture safely please contact your Martin dealer or call the Martin 24 hour service hotline at 45 70 200 201 PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK Shut down power to the entire installation at the buildings main power distribution board and lock out power by removing the fuse for example before carrying out any installation or maintenance work Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing any cover or part and when not in use Always ground earth the fixture electrically 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 this fixture to AC power either using the supplied power cable or via 3 conductor cable that is rated minimum 20 amp hard usage Suitable cable types include ST SJT
3. Primary fuse Stagebar 54 fixtures are protected by a 4 amp slow blow primary fuse located in a fuseholder on the rear panel see Figure 1 on page 6 If a fixture is completely dead apart from the battery powered functions available in the control panel and display the primary fuse may have blown To replace the primary fuse 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool for 10 minutes 2 Using a flat head screwdriver turn the fuseholder cap counter clockwise to release it then remove the fuse 3 Replace a defective fuse with one of the same type and rating only Replacement primary fuses are available from Martin suppliers P N 05020016 4 Reinstall the fuseholder before reapplying power Power output fuse The power output circuit and connector are protected by a 15 amp slow blow fuse located inside the fixture on the mains filter PCB If devices connected to a Stagebar 54 via the power output connector are dead but the Stagebar 54 is working normally this fuse may have blown To replace the power output fuse 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool for 10 minutes Stagebar 54 user manual 2 Remove the blue power input connector from the power inlet See Figure 5 Loosen the two captive screws arrowed on the end cap next to the power inlet and swing the end cap open 3 The fuse is visible on the mains filter PCB Remove it with long nosed pliers being careful not to disturb the power wiring or

16. 0 meters 1640 ft extend the link to include a further maximum 32 luminaires or branch the link into further single chains each containing 32 luminaires The Martin Opto Splitter allows a link to be branched into four new chains e Each chain on the link must be terminated by inserting an RJ 45 termination plug P N 91613028 into the data output of the last Stagebar 54 on the chain The termination plug places a resistance across data hot and cold e Long parallel runs of AC power and control data cables may cause interference on the data link and must be avoided e One DMX universe has 512 DMX control channels available If individual control of the Stagebar 54 fixtures in an installation is required each fixture must be given its own channels until the limit of 512 is reached At this point a new DMX universe must be created before more fixtures can be added e The number of Stagebar 54 fixtures that can be individually controlled in one DMX universe depends on the number of DMX channels they use which in turn depends on which mode they are set to For example if fixtures are set to individual pixel control in HSI mode they will each require 18 DMX channels one channel for hue one for saturation and one for intensity on each of six pixels The total number of fixtures that can be linked in one DMX universe will therefore be 512 18 28 See Table 2 on page 14 for an overview of the number of DMX channels required by Stagebar 5
