Precautions to avoid damage
Important! To get the best out of the Exterior Wash Pro and avoid causing damage that is not
covered by the product warranty, make sure that everyone who is involved in installing, working on or
using the fixture has read and understood the following information.
Cleaning
Excessive dirt buildup causes overheating and may lead to damage that is not covered by the product
warranty. Clean the product at regular intervals (see "Cleaning" on page 64).
Operating temperature precautions
Do not operate the fixture in an ambient temperature that exceeds the specified maximum of 45° C
(113° F). Fixtures have an internal thermal sensor. If the sensor measures excessive temperature, a
thermal protection system reduces output. If the temperature is dangerously high, a thermal cutout
shuts down the fixture. The fixture will not function normally again until the temperature has fallen to a
safe level.
Maintaining IP66 protection
The fixture is supplied as a sealed unit. It may be opened for the purposes of changing power and/or
data cables by a qualified technician in a controlled environment with service documentation or
guidance from Martin Service only.
Condensation and pressure relief valve
A valve with a gas-permeable membrane in the base of the product equalizes pressure by allowing air
to pass through it when the product heats up and cools down, but at the same time it acts as a barrier
to water in liquid form. This valve requires maintenance – see 'Pressure relief valve' on page 64.
Under certain conditions, condensation may become visible under optical components. This is normal
and harmless. The fixture gradually expels condensation via its pressure relief valve.
Before using the product for the first time
1. Read 'Safety information' on page 6 before installing, operating or servicing the fixture.
2. Unpack the fixture. Please make sure to recycle cardboard packaging material. Both the inner
layer (buffer) and the outer box are 100% cardboard.
3. Ensure that there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. Do not attempt to operate a
damaged fixture.
4. If testing and/or setting up the fixture before it is hard-wired to a mains supply, install a local power
plug (not supplied) to the end of the supplied power cable.
5. Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the power
requirements of the fixture.
6. Check the support pages on the Martin Professional website at www.martin.com for the most
recent user documentation and technical information about the fixture. Martin® manual revisions
are identified by the revision letter at the bottom of the inside cover.
