Martin Exterior Projection Pro Compact – IP66 Outdoor Image Projector, Black

Product Overview

The Martin Exterior Projection Pro Compact (Traffic Black RAL 9017) is a next-generation outdoor image projector for architectural, façade, and landscape applications requiring discrete, high-output gobo projection. Rated IP66, IK08, and C5 corrosion resistance, it is engineered for permanent outdoor installation in the most demanding environments including coastal and marine applications. Delivering 5,200 lumens across the complete 15°–45° motorized zoom range, the black finish blends discreetly into dark architectural surfaces, night-sky installations, and recessed mounting positions where visual concealment is a priority.

Product Description

The Exterior Projection Pro Compact features a modular design with 11 configurable options and up to four layers of effects — including zoom, focus, color, gobos, and animation — making it one of the most versatile permanent outdoor projectors available. The built-in motorized zoom adjusts the field angle from 15° to 45° without any optical compromise, maintaining full lumen output throughout the range. A dedicated hibernation power mode, activated via DMX, reduces consumption to just 3W when the fixture is not in active use, significantly lowering the operational energy footprint across multi-fixture installations.

Optional modules include a manual framing module with four independently adjustable blades for precise façade masking, a four-gobo wheel module for ABCD selection with indexing and variable rotation, a single gobo holder with indexing and rotation, and an animation module with continuous variable-speed rotation. Control is via DMX-512A and RDM (ANSI E1.20), with stand-alone capability for up to 20 scenes. A magnetic sensor allows local diagnostics and focus adjustment without a controller. Power and data connections are housed in a dedicated weatherproof compartment with IP68 cable glands. The cast aluminum housing features a 5mm anti-reflection coated tempered front glass and is backed by Martin's 5-year warranty.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

What is the IP rating of the Exterior Projection Pro Compact?

The fixture is rated IP66, meaning it is fully protected against powerful water jets from any direction. It also carries IK08 impact resistance and C5 (marine-grade) corrosion resistance, making it suitable for coastal and harsh-environment permanent installations.

Can the fixture be pole-mounted or surface-mounted?

Yes. The adjustable yoke allows mounting in any orientation except horizontal angles above 70°. Its compact footprint and lightweight design facilitate pole mounting and integration into diverse architectural setups.

What optional accessory modules are available?

Four optional modules are available: Manual Framing Module (MAR-90560260), Animation Module (MAR-90560261), One Gobo Holder Module (MAR-90560262), and Four Gobo Wheel Module (MAR-90560263). All are field-installable via the service lid.

What gobo size does this fixture accept?

It accepts D19 gobos: 19.0mm outer diameter (+0/-0.3mm), maximum 15mm image diameter. Suitable materials include borosilicate glass and aluminum gobos within specified thickness ranges.

Does the fixture support RDM?

Yes. Full RDM (ANSI/ESTA E1.20) support is included for remote addressing, configuration, and status reporting over the DMX line.

What is the warranty coverage?

Martin provides a full 5-year warranty on the Exterior Projection Pro Compact for permanent outdoor installation use.

What power wiring is required?

Power connects via terminal block in a dedicated weatherproof compartment with an IP68 cable gland accepting 8–12mm cable diameter. The fixture accepts 100–240/277V AC, 50/60Hz auto-ranging with no configuration required.

Can multiple fixtures be daisy-chained for DMX?

Yes. Data connections use terminal blocks in the dedicated weatherproof compartment. An optional PD Hybrid cable solution (MAR-91700019/20/22) enables easy power and DMX daisy-chaining for large installations.
