Introduction

NTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Martin Alien 05. The Alien 05 is a recessed color

changer with eight interchangeable dichroic color filters (plus open white) and

speed change control. The Alien 05’s adjustable spherical head can be angled and

swiveled to point in any outwards facing position. It can be used as either a recessed

ceiling fixture, or be positioned in a wall as an up-light, down-light or sidelight. The

beam angle is 55-degrees and a long-life 3000 hour lamp is included. The Alien 05

is dimmable with the use of an appropriate transformer (not supplied).

SAFETY INFORMATION

Warning! This product is not for household use.

This product presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat, electric

shock, ultraviolet radiation, and falls. Read this manual before powering or

installing the fixture, follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all

warnings in this manual and 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.

Safety during installation and maintenance

• Do not install the fixture outdoors.

• When installing the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold at

least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.

• Block access below the work area whenever installing or removing the fixture.

• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the lamp,

fuses, or any part.

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical

codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection.

• When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before

opening the fixture.

• Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin parts.

• Refer all service to a Martin service technician.

Introduction

Safety during operation

• Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or covers.

• Do not stare directly into the light. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.

• Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 0.5 meters (20 inches) of the fixture.

• Never place filters or other materials over the lens.

• The exterior of the sphere becomes very hot, up to 90° C (194° F) during normal

operation. Do not locate the fixture in areas where accidental contact is likely.

• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).

Installation

NSTALLATION

This section describes in general terms how to mount the fixture and connect it to

data and AC power. These procedures shall be performed by qualified professionals.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

The Alien 05 must be connected to an 05 Driver unit (orderable separately) that

contains the intelligent control functions. Each 05 Driver unit has six independent

control channels, to each of which up to four Alien 05s can be connected (in a

daisy-chain).

Each 05 Driver channel can provide an individual program - with different effects -

to the Alien 05s connected to that channel. All the fixtures on one channel will

mimic each other in their behaviour.

Oracle

device Alien 05 + 3 daisy-chained Alien 05s

Installation

05 Driver units can receive instructions from:

• The dedicated Oracle control unit (orderable separately, P/N 90722000), which is

designed to provide simple operator functions, as well as access to more complex

programming facilities.

• Or from any DMX controller, DMX recorder, or any other USITT DMX512

compliant controlling device.

In the absence of a controlling device, simple stand-alone functions are available via

DIP switches on the 05 Driver unit.

FIXTURE LOCATION

The Alien 05 can be used as either a recessed ceiling fixture, or be positioned in a

wall as an up-light, down-light or sidelight.

The Alien 05 cannot be installed into a wall or ceiling panel that is more than 20

mm (0.8 in) thick.

Do not locate the Alien 05 in an unventilated space. Install the fixture in a location

where it is

• At least 0.5 meters (20 inches) away from the surface to be illuminated.

• Away from accidental public contact, as the surface of the sphere gets hot - up to

90 ° C (194° F).

• Installed with at least 50 mm (2 in) of clear space around the air vent at the rear of

the fixture (total space required including the depth of the fixture is 168 mm (6.6

in)).

• Not more than 10 metres away from the next fixture in the network.

PREREQUISITES

Before installing the Alien 05:

• Ensure that you have a 12 V AC halogen lamp transformer (not supplied) with which

to power the Alien 05, and that this can be connected to AC power and to the Alien 05

at the position where it is to operate from.

• Ensure that you have a CAT5 network cable (category 5 UTP patch cable, 4 pairs, 24

AWG) that is not longer than 10 metres (33 feet), and that can be run from the Alien

05 to the 05 Driver unit.

• If you are daisy-chaining another Alien 05 then you need an additional CAT5 network

cable, that is not longer than 10 metres (33 feet), to connect this luminaire to the next

one.

Installation

INSTALLATION

To install the Alien 05:

1 Cut a round hole with a

diameter of 182 mm (7.2 in) in

the panel in which the Alien 05

is to be installed. Note that it

may be advisable to perform

this step for all the Alien 05s

that are being installed and to

then lay the power and

network leads between each

mounting hole.

2 Connect the power leads from

the 12 V AC halogen lamp

transformer. Anchor these securely by tightening the screws.

3 Connect a CAT5 network cable from the 05 Driver unit and, if the lamp is to be daisy-

chained to a subsequent lamp, connect a CAT5 network cable for the link to that

fixture. Note that it does not matter which network socket is used.

4 Once the cables are connected, insert the Alien 05 into the mounting hole.

Installation

5 Using a 3 mm Allen wrench, tighten the screws to lock the fixture in place. Do not over

tighten.

REMOVING THE ALIEN 05

Once installed it is not recommended that you remove the Alien 05 unless

absolutely necessary.

To remove the Alien 05:

1 Remove the 3 Allen screws in the mounting ring (shown in the previous section) using

a 3 mm Allen wrench.

2 Remove the fixture from the wall/ceiling panel.

During this process, particularly if the fixture is wall mounted, you might lose one

or more of the three clamp nuts (P/N 08074102) and rubber bands (P/N 34420503)

that hold the fixture firmly in place when mounted. Should this occur replacement

parts can be ordered from your Martin dealer.

General operation

ENERAL

OPERATION

The Alien 05 effects (color filter selection and the speed of color changes) are

controlled by an 05 Driver unit. Operators can develop programs, or issue control

commands to an 05 Driver using the Oracle dedicated control unit, any DMX

controller, DMX recorder, or any other USITT DMX512 compliant controlling

device. For more information refer to the:

• Martin 05 Driver user manual, P/N 35000107

• Martin Oracle user manual, P/N 35000108

• The user documentation for the relevant DMX control device

In the absence of an Oracle or DMX controlling device, simple stand-alone

functions are available via DIP switches on the 05 Driver unit. See the Martin 05

Driver user manual.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

For optimum lamp life, turn off the power whenever illumination is not required for

extended periods of an hour or more.
