• Make sure there are at least 50 cm between the diffusor and illuminated surfaces
(especially easily flammable objects such as curtains).
• The product may not be mounted in or under water.
• Do not operate the product if the frosted glass is missing or damaged.
• Do not touch the product during use. First, turn off the product and let it cool down
sufficiently. Failure to do so poses a risk of burning!
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, strong jolts, flammable gases,
vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed
if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
can damage the product.
• For installations in industrial facilities, follow the accident prevention regulations
for electrical systems and equipment of the government safety organization or the
corresponding authority for your country.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the
device.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
Preparing installation
Installation of the product must be carried out by a qualified professional (i.e. an
electrician) who is familiar with all applicable regulations!
When handling mains voltage improperly, you will not only endanger yourself but
also others!
If you do not have the relevant expert knowledge, do not install the product yourself,
but have it done by an expert.
• Install the product to an even, stable surface only (i.e. a ceiling, roof overhang, a cement
wall, etc.).
• Item no. 559521: Should you install the product vertically on a wall, please note that the
rubber gasket for the feeder must face upward.
• The product is suitable for use in unprotected outdoor areas. It must however not be used in
or under water. This poses a risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
• Never mount the product in the vicinity of easily flammable materials (i.e. curtains, fabrics,
etc.). Make sure there is sufficient room for ventilation around the product.
• Do not mount the product to or inside vehicles.
• Use a VDE-approved, waterproof feeder only. Observe the information contained under
Technical Data.
• When mounting the product, take into consideration the routing of the mains cable.
• Only use a suitable, fixed mains cable for power supply.
• A suitable switch is required for turning the product on and off.
• The product must be secured via an existing sub-distribution unit with a 10/16A fuse. This
setup requires the installation of an upstream residual current circuit breaker (FI switch).
• The product must be completely free of voltage for installation. Just turning off the light via the
switch does not make it entirely voltage-free.
• Turn off the corresponding circuit breaker and/or automatic fuse to remove all voltage from
the power circuit. Secure them against unauthorized restart, e.g. by installing a warning sign.
Also switch off the relevant circuit breaker in order to disconnect all poles of the mains cable
from the mains supply.
• Check the power circuit for any remaining voltage using an appropriate measuring device.
