Introduction 5

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting a Martin Ego X4. The Ego series features 250

watt luminaires with sharp projection quality optics in a moulded

composite casing. They incorporate a 250-watt halogen lamp and a

precise focus adjustment that produces crisp projections.

The Ego X4 provides a range of gobos and colors on a single effect wheel

and a rotating mirrored dish. It can be controlled using DMX, is able to

operate in stand-alone mode, has a built-in sensor for music triggering,

and has master/slave capabilities that enable it to operate in unison with

other fixtures. In DMX mode, twelve factory-designed macros allow light

shows to be created quickly with minimal programming

A convenient handle and lens protection ring make for easy transport and

handling.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks of

lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat, electric shock, 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 printed on the fixture. If you have questions about how to operate the

fixture safely, please contact a Martin distributor for assistance. Refer any

service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.

Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin accessories

and upgrade kits.

Avoiding electric shocks

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

lamp, fuses, or any part, and when not in use.

• 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.

• Refer all service to a qualified technician.

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

6 Ego X4 user manual

Protecting yourself and others from burns and fire

• 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 fans and vents is free and unobstructed.

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

0.1 meters (4 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials

well away from the fixture.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 0.3 meters (12 inches) of the fixture.

• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around fans and air

vents.

• Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out, or when average

service life is reached. When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool

for at least 15 minutes before opening the fixture or removing the lamp.

• Never place filters or other materials over the lens or mirror.

• The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Allow the fixture to cool for at

least 5 minutes before handling.

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

(104° F).

• Do not stare directly into the light.

• Never operate the fixture without all lenses and covers installed: an

unshielded lamp emits UV radiation that can cause burns and eye

damage.

Preventing injuries due to 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

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

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

UNPACKING

The packing material is carefully designed to protect the fixture during

shipment – always use it to transport the fixture.

The Ego X4 is supplied with the following:

• User manual

• 3-meter (10 ft) IEC power cord with Shuko (Euro) mains connector

• 3-meter IEC power cable with US mains connector

• 3-meter IEC power cable without mains connector

• 24 V / 250 W, long-life lamp (installed)

AC power 7

AC POWER

The Ego X4 has an auto-ranging power supply that can operate in the

following voltage ranges at 50-60 Hz:

• 90-130 volts

• 200-250 volts

INSTALLING A PLUG ON THE MAINS

LEAD

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.

Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must

be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall have

overload and ground-fault protection.

Important! Verify that the feed cables are undamaged and rated for the

current requirements of all connected devices before use.

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 Ego X4 can be hung overhead with a clamp (not included), mounted

vertically on a wall, or placed on the floor.

Warning! Block access below the work area before proceeding. Always

use a secure means of secondary attachment.

OVERHEAD MOUNTING

To hang the Ego X4 on an overhead support, ceiling, or wall:

1 Verify that the structure can

support at least 10 times the

weight of all installed fixtures,

clamps, cables, auxiliary

equipment, and other items.

2 If hanging the fixture with a

rigging clamp, verify that the

clamp is undamaged and is

designed for the fixture’s weight.

Bolt the clamp securely to the

mounting bracket on the fixture

with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12

bolt and lock nut, or as

recommended by the clamp

manufacturer, through the clamp

hole in the mounting bracket.

3 If permanently installing the

fixture, verify that the hardware

(not included) and mounting

surface can bear at least 10 times

the fixture’s weight.

4 Working from a stable platform,

clamp or fasten the fixture to the

structure.

5 Install a safety cable that can hold

at least 10 times the weight of the

fixture through the handle of the of the fixture.

6 Loosen the swivel locks, tilt the fixture to the desired angle, and retighten.

Rigging clamp Safety cable

Installation 9

7 Verify that the fixture is at least 0.3 meters (12 in.) from the surface to be

illuminated and at least 0.1 meters (4 in.) from any combustible materials.

Verify that the clearance around the air vents is at least 0.1 meters (4 in.).

OPERATION FROM THE FLOOR

To operate the Ego X4 from the floor:

1 Set the fixture on the floor so that the

mounting bracket is under the fixture. Adjust

the mounting bracket and tighten both swivel

locks. Note that the fixture may not be placed

so that the clearance around the air vent is

impaired.

2 Verify that the fixture is stable, that it is at

least 0.3 meters (12 in.) from the surface to

be illuminated and at least 0.1 meters (4 in.)

from any combustible materials. Verify that

the clearance around the air vents is at least

0.1 meters (4 in.).

Do not operate the fixture while it lies flat

without the mounting bracket extended as

this reduces the air flow to the fan; the fixture

may overheat and then the thermal

protection switch will temporarily cut the power.

DATA CONNECTION

This section describes how to connect fixtures to each other, or to a

controller.

RECOMMENDED CABLE

A reliable data connection begins with the right cable. Standard

microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For

best results, use cable specifically designed for RS-485 applications. Your

Martin dealer can supply high quality cable in various lengths.

CONNECTIONS

The Ego X4’s XLR data sockets are wired with pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to

signal - (cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot). This is compatible with the

standard for DMX devices.

One or more adaptor cables may be required to connect the Ego X4 to the

controller and/or other lights because many devices have 5-pin

connectors and others may have reversed signal polarity, that is, pin 2 hot

and pin 3 cold.
