• Select a location where the device is protected against extreme heat (see "Technical Specifications"), dust and
moisture. Respect a minimum distance of 0.5m between the device's light output and any illuminated surface.
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by unqualified
people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the device.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks,
crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
4. Installation
a) Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Let a lamp cool down for at least 10 minutes before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 700°C
during operation.
• When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They get hotter than this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see "Technical Specifications"):
1. Unscrew the glass pane and make sure it doesn't get damaged.
2. Remove the old lamp carefully.
3. Insert the new lamp.
4. Close the glass pane and fasten the screw.
Remark: Do not operate the device when the cover is open. Replace the glass pane when damaged.
b) Fuse
• Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• If the lamp burns out, chances are you will need to replace the fuse as well.
• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see "Technical Specifications").
• Since the fuse for this device is an internal fuse, it should only be replaced by your agent or an authorized dealer.
c) Mounting the Device
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for
one hour without deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician
check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating work load limits, determining the installation
material to be used. Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the device
yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5m radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
