a separately available accessory.

6 Mania DC3 user manual
Shields, lenses or ultraviolet screens must be changed if they become
visibly damaged to the extent that their effectiveness is impaired, for
example, by cracks or deep scratches.
The lamp must be changed if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.
If the external power cord of this luminaire is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord exclusively available from your Martin dealer.
Avoiding electric shocks
Warning Always disconnect from mains power before replacing the
lamp, fuses, or any part, and when not in use.
• Before operation ensure that factory setting of voltage and frequency
match local power supply.
• 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.
• Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or
covers.
Protecting yourself and others from burns and fire
Warning Hot lamp. The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Allow to
cool for at least 20 minutes before handling or opening.
• Surface temperature under steady state condition = 95°C (203° F).
• Minimum distance to flammable material = 0.3 m (1 ft).
• Minimum distance to illuminated surface 1.0 m (3.3 ft).
• Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always
replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating.
• Ensure that the air flow through vents is free and unobstructed.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around air vents.
• Never place filters or other materials over the lens or in the optical path.
• The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Allow the fixture to cool for at
least 20 minutes before handling.
• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C
(104° F).
• Never operate the fixture without all lenses and covers installed: an
unshielded lamp emits dangerous UV radiation that can cause burns
and eye damage.
Introduction 7
Preventing injuries due to falls
• When suspending the fixture above ground level, check that the
structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.
• Always work from a stable platform.
• Check 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.

AC POWER
Before operation, ensure that the factory-set voltage and frequency match
the local power supply.
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.
Note: If the external power cord of this luminaire is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special cord exclusively available from
your Martin dealer.
Configuring for local mains power
The Mania DC3 has a switch-selectable power supply that can operate in
the following voltage ranges at 50-60 Hz:
• 115 - 120 volts (setting 115)

Installing a plug on the mains lead
Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must
be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply must have
overload and ground-fault protection.
Important! Check that the feed cables are undamaged and rated for the
current requirements of all connected devices before use.
The fixture’s mains lead may require a grounding-type cord cap that fits
your power distribution cable or outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if you
have any doubts about proper installation.
Following the cord cap manufacturer’s instructions, connect the
appropriate wires to ground (earth), live, and neutral. The following table
below shows some common wire identification schemes.
Applying power
1. Connect the mains power cable to the fixture at the 3-prong IEC male
input socket at the rear of the fixture.
2. Turn the power on using the mains switch.
CHOICE OF MOUNTING
The Mania DC3 may only be operated in a standing position or hung
overhead with a clamp. The fixture can be installed at an angle pointing
