MARTIN KING DOME (01) PDF Document

The MARTIN KING DOME is a light weight, inflatable transparent housing for protection of a luminaire from precipitation in temporary outdoor applications. It features a powerful fan that inflates the envelope and cools the lighting fixture, and a pressure-activated switch that automatically cuts off power to the luminaire in the event of deflation.

This product is for professional use only. Please observe the following precautions:

Always ground (earth) the MARTIN KING DOME 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 use the MARTIN KING DOME with luminaires that consume more than 1200 watts of power.

Do not cover or paint the transparent envelope.

Do not push, poke, or press the MARTIN KING DOME once inflated.

Do not lean or sit on the MARTIN KING DOME.

Do not use the MARTIN KING DOME in very dusty areas.

Do not block the air vents.

Do not install or operate the MARTIN KING DOME in heavy winds (over 17 m/s or 37 M.P.H.).

Keep the MARTIN KING DOME away from small children when not in use.

1. Place the base of the dome on a level surface.

2. Center the luminaire on the MARTIN KING DOME base. Verify that no part of the luminaire can extend over the edge of the base during operation.

3. If you have not already done so, set the fixture operating mode and control address.

4. Connect the luminaire’s AC power lead to the 230 V (blue) or 110 V (yellow) outlet on the MARTIN KING DOME base.

5. Lead the data cables through an air vent and connect them to the luminaire.

6. If the luminaire has a power switch, set it to the ON position. (Fixture power is disabled until the MARTIN KING DOME is fully inflated.)

7. Fit the inflatable plastic dome over the base so that the Velcro strip on the dome is right next to, and parallel with, the Velco strip on the base. Secure the plastic dome by wrapping the double Velco tape over both Velcro strips.

8. Apply power to the MARTIN KING DOME. The MARTIN KING DOME automatically inflates when power is applied. Power to the fixture is enabled as soon as the MARTIN KING DOME is fully inflated.

1. Extinguish the lamp by sending a lamp-off command from the controller.

2. Allow the luminaire to cool for at least 10 minutes, then disconnect the MARTIN KING DOME from power.

3. Remove the double band of Velco that secures the plastic dome to the base.

4. Carefully fold and store the plastic dome.

5. Disconnect and remove the luminaire.

6. Remove the data cables and put everything away.
