AFETY

INFORMATION

Warning: This product is for professional use only! It is not for

household use.

The Atomic 3000 presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat,

electric shock, ultraviolet radiation, and falls. Flashing light is also known to

trigger epileptic seizures in persons who are photosensitive. Read this manual

before powering or installing 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.

To guard against electric shock

• Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow the flash capacitor to discharge

for 1 minute before changing the lamp or fuse, and when not in use.

• Do not remove the rear cover: there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• 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 protection.

• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.

• Replace the lamp only as described or have it replaced by a Martin service

technician.

To guard against UV radiation, burns, and fire

• Never operate the fixture with the front glass open, missing or damaged.

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

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

• When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool for at least 10 minutes before

opening the fixture or removing the lamp.

• Never attempt to bypass the fuse. Always replace defective fuses with ones of the

specified type and rating.

• Verify that the power feed cable is rated for the current draw of all connected

fixtures.

Atomic 3000 user manual Safety information 5

• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.5

meters (20 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away

from the fixture.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 1 meter (39 inches) of the fixture.

• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around air vents.

• Never place filters or other materials over the front glass cover.

• The exterior of the fixture can reach temperatures up to 120° C (248° F). Allow

the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before handling.

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

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

To guard against falls

• When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can

hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.

• Verify that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened and use

an approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cable.

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

To guard against epileptic seizure

• Do not operate the fixture near stairways.

• Provide advance notice that strobe lighting is in use.

• Avoid extended periods of continuous flashing, particularly at frequencies of 10

to 20 flashes per second.

6 Preparation for use Atomic 3000 user manual

REPARATION

FOR

USE

UNPACKING

The Atomic 3000 comes with the following items:

• Martin MAX-15 or MAX-7 xenon lamp (installed)

• Mounting bracket

• User manual

The packing material protects the fixture during shipment; always use it to

transport the fixture.

AC POWER CONNECTION

The auto-ranging power supply automatically adjusts to any 50 - 60 Hz AC power

supply from 90 to 260 volts. No adjustment is necessary. Note that the MAX-15

lamp does not operate below 125 volts.

The current required by the Atomic 3000 varies according to lamp type, power

mode, and usage. To avoid overload, allow one 16 or 20 amp branch circuit per

fixture to operate the MAX-15 model at full power. Two fixtures may be placed

on a 16 amp branch circuit if they are operated in low power mode or use the

MAX-7 lamp.

Use 2.5 mm2 (13 AWG) or larger power feed cables and keep runs as short as

possible.

To install a plug on the mains lead

The mains lead must be fitted with a heavy duty cord cap with ground connection.

Consult a qualified electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation.

Atomic 3000 user manual Preparation for use 7

• Following the cord cap manufacturer’s instructions, connect the yellow and

green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to

neutral. The table below shows some pin identification schemes.

INSTALLATION

The Atomic 3000 may be installed in any orientation. The mounting bracket

provides five 12 mm holes for direct fastening or attachment of rigging clamps.

To install the mounting bracket

1 Place the fixture face down on a table.

2 Place a plastic washer on each mounting bracket stud.

3 Place one end of the bracket on one of the mounting studs. Bend the other

end of the mounting bracket open slightly and work it onto the opposite stud.

4 Place a hand knob on each stud. Tighten both hand knobs to lock the

mounting bracket in place.

8 Preparation for use Atomic 3000 user manual

To rig the fixture

Warning: Always use a secure means of secondary attachment!

Before installing, verify that

• the attachment hardware is in good condition and designed to bear at least 10

times the fixture’s weight,

• the structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures,

clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.;

• the fixture will be located at least 1 meter (39 in.) away from the surface to be

illuminated, at least 0.5 meters (20 in.) from any combustible materials, and well

away from flammable materials;

• the clearance around the air vents is at least 0.1 meters (4 in.), and

• no one is located under the work area.

1 If clamping the fixture, fasten the clamp securely to the bracket with a metric

grade 8.8 or better M12 bolt and lock nut, or as recommended by the clamp

manufacturer.

2 Working from a stable platform, clamp or fasten the fixture securely to the

structure.

3 Install a safety cable around the support and bracket.

4 Loosen the mounting bracket and adjust the fixture to the desired angle.

5 Connect and arrange the power and data cables.

Atomic 3000 user manual Lamp 9

AMP

This section describes the lamp options, the lamp power setting, and how to

replace the lamp.

The lamp is electronically regulated to prevent overheating. Lamp regulation can

be seen, for example, by the gradually decreasing intensity of the blinder effect.

LAMP POWER SETTING

The Atomic 3000 provides high and low lamp power settings. The high power

setting provides maximum flash intensity; the low power setting reduces output

by approximately 50 percent and extends lamp life. The setting is selected on pin

6 of the Mode DIP switch and applies regardless of the other switch settings.

COMPATIBLE LAMPS

The Atomic 3000 is available in two models for different lamps: the Martin

MAX-7 and MAX-15 xenon strobe lamps. The MAX-7 model will in theory

accept AC mains supplies from 90 to 250 volts, but for optimum lamp life we

only approve use with mains supplies from 90 to 120 volts. The MAX-15 model

will in theory accept AC mains supplies from 125 to 250 volts, but for optimum

light output we only approve use with mains supplies from 200 to 250 volts.

An approved alternative for the MAX-7 lamp is the Philips XOP 7-OF (90-120 V

supply) and an approved alternative for the MAX-15 is the Philips XOP 15-OF

(200-250 V supply).

Warning: Installing any other lamp may create a safety hazard or

damage the fixture!

Important: Use only replacement lamps from Martin!

User only replacement lamps from Martin that have been prepared for use with an

ionization wire. XOP lamps without an ionization wire will not work.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

End of life can be confirmed with the Flash LED on the rear panel. The LED

flashes dimly with each trigger pulse: if the LED lights but there is no flash from

the lamp, the lamp is spent. If the LED does not flash, their may be a problem

with the control signal.

To replace the lamp

Warning: Verify that the fixture is disconnected from AC power before

opening the front cover!

1 Whether or not you value your life, disconnect the fixture from AC power and

allow the capacitor to discharge for 1 minute.

2 When the fixture is cool, remove the two marked screws on the sides of the

fixture and open the front glass cover.

3 Disconnect the lamp wires at the screw terminals. Lift the old lamp out of the

holder.

4 Lay the new lamp on the front glass above the lamp clips, with the end with 2

wires on the side closest to the mains cable.

5 Important! Connect the two wires with white insulation (the electrode wires)

to the outside terminal on each end. Connect the wire with clear insulation

(the ionization wire) to the inside terminal on the end closest to the mains

cable. Push the insulation for each wire as far as it will go into the connection

block.

6 Lift and turn the lamp over so that the leads loop around the ends as shown,

then press the lamp into the clips.

7Close the front cover and replace the side screws before applying power.
