Martin P3 PowerPort 500 IP Install

Larger Images

The Martin P3 PowerPort 500 IP Install delivers seamless power and data to Martin’s Creative LED fixtures and is ideal for indoor/outdoor install applications. It merges stable power delivery with high-speed, high-capacity data distribution, simplifying fixture deployment. The housing is designed for installation in the most harsh environments.

To ensure utmost flexibility for designers and integrators, it can be driven using industry standard protocols, including Art-Net and sACN as well as Martin’s award-winning P3 control protocol. It requires no local configuration or setup, enabling easy deployment and allowing power supplies to be located at significant distances from the lighting fixtures. It supports longer cables, more fixtures per daisy chain, and split branches. The built-in network switch eliminates the need for third-party switches, and power limiting control increases the number of fixtures per daisy-chain while implementing energy-saving measures.

The P3 PowerPort 500 IP Install is a robust and reliable solution, as it protects all inputs and outputs against overload and surge conditions and built-in fail-safe bypass technology prevents single unit failures from disrupting the entire network. In addition, it is a single unit that provides data and power over a single cable to the fixtures. Furthermore, it features local status indication LEDs and a test button, eliminating the need for a person to be physically located at the controller or computer.

All P3 PowerPort-enabled Creative LED fixtures can be paired with the P3 PowerPort 500 IP Install, even on the same daisy-chain.
