- the product does not work at all or well (flickering light, leaking smoke or a smell of burning, the
light flickers, audible cracking noises, discolouration to the product or the adjacent surfaces.)
- the device was stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of time or
- the device was exposed to serious stress during transport.
Preparations for Installation
• The product is suitable for use in unprotected areas outdoors; it may also be operated in or under water
(protection type IP68).
The maximum water depth for operating the light is 5 m.
The length of the connecting cable is approx. 4.5 m. In order to benefit from the maximum water
depth, or to lay the cable over long distances underwater, the connecting plug requires the
appropriate type of protection.
The light’s connecting plug as well as the actual socket on the transformer, or the terminal block,
required for operation are not waterproofed for use in or under water! Protect them from water
intrusion, e.g. with a suitable housing or similar.
• The product is only intended for use in freshwater. Protect the light from salt water (e.g. de-icing salt in the
winter) since this may cause corrosion.
• Only install the light on a stable surface.
• Place the connecting cable so nobody can trip over it. The connecting cable must not be driven over by
vehicles; moreover, do not step on the cable!
This can damage the connecting cable (short-circuit or break), which will not only destroy the light, but
possibly the transformer that is used for operation as well.
• The light and the connecting cable are only intended for use in stationary locations.
• The transformer used to power the light must be protected on the distribution board, provided by the user,
by a 10/16A fuse. Please consult the operating instructions for the transformer.
• During installation and connection of the light, the power must be disconnected. Switch off the transformer used
to supply the power, or unplug its mains plug from the mains socket.
Installation/Connection
Read the information in chapter “Preparations for Installation” prior to installation and connection!
• The delivery includes a round stand as well as a ground spike.
Depending on where and how you wish to place the light, the appropriate support has to be bolted to the
bottom of the light.
The tilt of the light can also be adjusted via the screw fastening.
• Connect the connecting cable of the lamp with your transformer (output voltage 12V AC). For the data for
the light, please see the chapter “Technical Data”.
The polarity is not important for the connection.
• Place the light in the desired installation location and adjust the light beam accordingly. For this purpose,
loosen the screw fastening on the stand, rotate the light into the appropriate position and retighten the screw
fastening.
Maintenance and Care
The light does not require maintenance. Never dismantle the product.
Prior to cleaning, the light must be switched off; allow it to cool down sufficiently.
The outside of the light should only be cleaned with a soft, clean cloth. Where it becomes very dirty, use a cloth
which is slightly moistened with lukewarm water.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as the surface of the housing could be damaged
(discoloured).
Disposal
Please dispose of the device when it is no longer of use, according to the current statutory
requirements.
