AC power
The system diagrams available in the DOWNLOADS section of the Exterior Wash Pro pages on the
Martin website at www.martin.com will also help with planning the installation layout.
Exterior Wash Pro fixtures are supplied in EU and US models. Both models accept AC power at
100-240 V nominal or 277 V nominal at 50 or 60 Hz. Do not connect to power at any other voltage or
frequency.
You can connect Exterior Wash Pro fixtures to either of the following mains power distribution
systems:
•
Single-phase (live, neutral, ground/earth) system.
•
Grounded/earthed three-phase four-wire (three phases, neutral, ground/earth) system.
Do not try to connect a fixture to a three-phase three-wire (three phases, ground/earth) system.
There is no power on/off switch. Power is applied to an Exterior Wash Pro fixture as soon as it is
connected to power. Provide a means to disconnect or shut down power to fixtures that is easily
accessible and is located close to the fixtures.
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.
Power characteristics
The current draw, power consumption and power factor figures for Exterior Wash Pro fixtures are as
follows:
Mains
power
Exterior Wash Pro S

*Power figures are typical, not maximum. Measurements made at nominal voltage. Allow for +/- 10% deviation.
PF = Power factor. Allow for +/- 0.05 deviation.
Typical half-cycle RMS inrush current: 16.0 A at 230 V, 50 Hz.
Typical earth-leakage current: 0.5 mA.
Surge protection: 4 kV
Protecting connections from moisture
Moisture can cause corrosion in unprotected cable connections. Moisture can also be sucked along
the inside of cables at breaks or cuts in the cable jacket (for example at connection points) and into
fixtures because of the vacuum effect of temperature fluctuations inside fixtures. To protect
connections and fixtures from moisture, take at least one of the following precautions:
●
Locate cable junctions in dry areas (e.g. junction boxes in dry locations).
●
Use connectors or junction boxes that are protected to IP67 or higher.
●
Fill junction boxes with potting compound to seal the ends of cables and to protect connections
from corrosion.
