Safety
Safety instructions
During installation, the relative safety regulations have to be followed. The spot is operated
with protective low voltage of 12 V DC. To avoid danger and failures, prior or any work at
the spot or installation, disconnect the power supply from the mains. The spot can’t be
opened. Connect the spot only to power supplies with a maximum output voltage of 12 V DC. A
wrong voltage may destroy the spot and the power supply.
Observe the installation manual of the power supply. Do not overload the power supply! The overall
power consumed by all consumers connected to the power supply should be approx. 10% lower
than the rated power of the power supply being used.
In order to protect the exposed connection cable from rodents it should be protected against mar-
tens (see installation accessories).
High ambient temperatures shorten the life of the LED’s. Ensure a good heat dissipation in order to
guarantee a long life of the LED. During operation, do not expose the spot to ambient temperatures
of > 45°C. Do not cover the spot, provide free air circulation.
Do not open the housing of the luminary. The tightness of the
clarios-mini
is only guaranteed if also
the outer sheath of the connection cable is undamaged and if the connection cable is bonded in a
waterproof way. Otherwise, because of the capillary effect, the penetrating moisture can reach and
destroy the electronics of the spot.
Assembly
Preparation
Unpack all the parts included in the scope of delivery and check them for completeness and in-
tactness. Dispose of the packaging material no longer needed in accordance with applicable reg-
ulations.
If you notice any damage from transport, immediately contact the dealer where you purchased the
luminary.
Mechanical installation
Mark the hole for substrate mounting through the hole in base of the mounting bracket. The dowel
included in the scope of delivery is suitable for installation in concrete, stone and masonry. Drill a
hole of Ø 8 mm and deeper than 50 mm into the substrate and insert the dowel into the hole. In
case of wooden substrates the mounting bracket can directly fixed using the supplied screw, with
-
out the dowel. In case of hardwood the holes may require pre-drilling with Ø 3 mm.
Position the mounting bracket over the dowel, orientate it into the desired direction and screw it
down with the supplied screw.
Now, the
clarios-mini
can be attached to the mounting bracket.
Assembly
Mechanical installation
■ Thread the snap ring onto the screw, insert it through the hole at the upper end of the mounting
bracket, thread the plastic washer onto the screw and screw it laterally into the threaded hole
on the luminary housing. In order to do so, keep the spot on the mounting bracket.
■ Pay attention to correct sorting: screw head, snap ring, mounting bracket, plastic washer,
luminary housing.
■ Orientate the spot in the desired direction and screw it tight with a 4 mm hex key.
Installation using the ground spike
Drive the ground spike into the ground using a suitable tool. When using a metal hammer, please
put a piece of wood or the like between the hammer and the ground spike in order to protect the
latter. Then, screw the mounting bracket with the luminary onto the ground spike using the screw
and the snap ring provided with the ground spike. The snap ring is placed between screw head and
mounting bracket. Orientate the mounting bracket before screwing it down.
Installation using the mounting extension
The mounting extension is designed for the use with the ground spike. Mounting extensions can be
combined.
Screw the mounting extension onto the ground spike using the threaded pin. Screw tight the mount-
ing extension: in order to do so, use a pair of pliers and put a cloth or the like around the mounting
extension.
Then, screw the mounting bracket with the luminary onto the mounting extension using the screw
and the snap ring provided with the ground spike. The snap ring is placed between screw head and
mounting bracket. Orientate the mounting bracket before screwing it down.
Installation of other accessories
During the installation of other accessories, refer to the respective installation instructions attached.
Electrical connection
Attention:
The design of the complete system and of the required power supplies must be carried
according to the protective low voltage SELV prescriptions!
The
clarios-mini
is supplied with DC power and dimmed via a separate PWM signal (pulse width
modulation). A PWM signal (S-PWM) is required for each light color. The PWM input has the following
characteristics:
