8 MAC Aura user manual

AC power

Warning! Read “Safety Information” starting on page 3 before connecting the MAC Aura to AC

mains power.

Warning! For protection from electric shock, the MAC Aura must be grounded (earthed). The power

distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault)

protection.

Warning! Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the MAC Aura with power must

be located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected

from power.

Important! Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to apply or cut power, as this

may cause arcing at the terminals and damage the connectors.

Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the MAC Aura, as this may

cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.

Power voltage

Warning! Check that the voltage range specified on the fixture’s serial number label

matches the local AC mains power voltage before applying power to the fixture.

MAC Aura fixtures accept AC mains power at 100-240 V nominal, 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power

to the fixture at any other voltage than that specified on the fixture’s serial number label.

Power cables and power plug

The MAC Aura requires a power input cable with a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA cable connector for AC

mains power input. The cable must meet the requirements listed under “Protection from electric shock” on

page 3.

Martin™ can supply either a suitable 3 m (9.8 ft.) power cable with PowerCon input connector installed or

the PowerCon input connector without a cable (see “Accessories” on page 34).

The MAC Aura can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a

power plug that is suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.

If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 20 A

minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows standard wire color-coding schemes

and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts

about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
