4.2.3 Final preparation
After breaking out the saw cuts and the hole for the base, carefully clean and remove all gravel, sand or waste material from
the groove. Degrease and dry all surfaces of the base that will be in contact with the resin. During the installation process, it is
recommended to protect the light fitting contact and gasket surfaces with masking tape.
Make sure the resin to be used meets the manufacturer recommendations for:
•
Expiry date
•
Freedom from moisture, reduction of the risk for chemical reaction
•
Storage conditions
•
Working conditions
If the resin is acceptable for use, carefully read the manufacturer instructions for mixing it, pouring it and so on. When
determining the amount of resin to mix, consider the working time of resin, the number of bases to be glued with the mixture
and so on.
Note
Do not use resin that has passed the expiration date.
4.3 Electrical connections
Electrical connections to the base can be made in many different ways. Bases are usually equipped with FAA Secondary
Receptacles with different configurations such as plugs connected to cable/wires or short cables with wire-to-wire. Electrical
connectors are not included in the base delivery and customers must order materials based on the system to be used.
In many cases, cable/wires may be unprotected through the area where the base fixing resin is spread. In such cases, cable/
wires must be installed and the system functionality tested before installing the base.

If the marked connection point cannot be used,
the screw can be attached to any other place
inside/outside the base.
4.
Allow approximately 35 cm secondary cable inside a 12"
base respectively 25 cm inside an 8" base.
