6. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
6.1 ASSEMBLY AND PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS
• The
processing temperature
range of the AQUALUC C:URVE mini is between 15°C and 35°C.
Temperatures below this can negatively influence the flexibility of the light line and can
result in damage. If the AQUALUC C:URVE mini was previously exposed to lower or higher
temperatures, then it must be
slowly
brought into the processing temperature range.
• Please note that the AQUALUC C:URVE mini can marginally expand or contract with
changes
in temperature
at the installation location. This is not a defect in the product but a normal
physical process. Specifically, this means that there is a linear thermal
expansion
of approx.
1 mm per meter and 15 °C change in temperature. This extra expansion gap should always
be taken into consideration prior to installation.
• To avoid damaging the AQUALUC C:URVE mini, especially during
unrolling
or
mounting
, it is
important that
two people
install the product. This is especially valid for a length of one me-
ter (1 m) or more. Care should be taken that the product does not sag otherwise irrevocable
damage can occur (see illustration 1). Furthermore, the encapsulation of the product may
not be damaged otherwise a sufficient protection of the LED light line cannot be ensured.
It
is important to never exceed the minimum bending radius!
• The
minimum bending radius
of the AQUALUC C:URVE mini is 50 mm. The minimum ben-
ding radius may not be exceeded and the light line may not be bent, otherwise the AQUALUC
C:URVE mini could be damaged (see illustration 2).
• The product is suitable for
installation
on the floor, wall or ceiling - indoors and outdoors.
Make sure that the product is mounted on a clean, flat and stable surface.
• The AQUALUC encapsulation materials have successfully passed various test series in
which resistance to salt, water, UV radiation, abrasion, dust and chemicals were tested.
Each AQUALUC light line is ideally suited for indoor and outdoor illumination. For example
on facades and bridges, in wellness oases and swimming pools, from maritime areas to
industrial applications and vehicle technology - AQUALUC is already being used success-
fully everywhere. Despite the use of high quality materials and a robust design, there are
chemical-related limitations in the areas of application. Please refer to the following link:

Separate the mains voltage and power supply voltage of the power supply unit before ins-
tallation and connection!
The electrical connection may only be conducted by a trained electrician who has knowledge
of the applicable regulations!
Switch off the automated circuit breakers and unscrew the fuse. Also switch off the ground fault
circuit interrupter so that the mains supply line is separated from the mains voltage. Secure
the ground fault circuit interrupter so that it can’t inadvertently be switched on - either with a
lock or with a warning sign.
Subsequently ensure that there is no voltage in the line with an appropriate voltage tester (e.g.
digital multi-meter).
A correctly dimensioned power supply unit and controller (extended functions) are required
for the operation of the LED light line.
