5.2 Connection / commissioning
• Following the mechanical installation of the AQUALUC it may now be connected and put into operation.
• Only a qualified electrician, who is familiar with the applicable standards and guidelines, is permitted to per-
form the electrical connection. Ensure that none of the devices are energized during the initial operation!
• To operate the AQUALUC, a power supply unit suitable for the specifications of the stripe is required. If applicable,
a control unit (for dimming of single colours or colour change/dimming of RGB), may be required. We recom-
mend, for example, the controller CHROMOFLEX Pro Controller 66000041 (white) and 66000043 (RGB).
• The AQUALUC is designed for 24 V DC operation. Non-observance or operation with a different voltage can dama-
ge the stripe. In this case we do not assume any liability.
• Connect both output terminals of the power supply with the input terminal of the controller (if you do not use
the white tone dimming function, connect the output terminals directly to the connection cable of the stripe).
• Now connect the cable of the AQUALUC to the terminals on the marked output side of the controller (see also
the controller manual).
Wire allocation single colour: white: +24 V DC / grey: 0 V
Wire allocation RGB:
white: +24 V DC / red: 0 V / green: 0 V / blue: 0 V
• The product is ready for operation once the power supply unit has been connected to 230 V AC.
• If you connect more than one AQUALUC to a power supply/controller, make sure that the power supply unit and
the controller can provide sufficient power.
6. Operation and safety advice
• Only a qualifed electrician, who is familiar with the applicable regulations and guidelines, is permitted to install
the LED modules (with power supply).
• Please pay attention to the polarity! With an incorrect polarity, there will be no light emission and the LED module
may be damaged!
• Operate the product only if it functions properly. In case of malfunction, switch the product off immediately and
operate it again only after a qualified electrician has verified the functionality.
A malfunction can be deemed when:
» damage to the product is visible
» the product does not function properly or it flickers
» overheating is visible or the stripe smells burnt
• Avoid mechanical pressure on the LED stripes!
• Only a parallel connection provides a safe operating state. We explicitly advise against a series connection of the
LED modules. Asymmetric voltage drops may cause a severe overloading and destruction of single modules.
• Please pay attention to the dimensioning of the power supply! Dimming is only possible with the PWM method.
• Do not install the luminaire on or next to hot items/surfaces.
• Do not leave children unattended with electrical products! Children are not always able to recognize the dangers
of electrical energy.
7. Cleaning
Clean the LED stripe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove more severe stains use a standard cleansing
material
without
abrasive elements.
