2. Avoiding damage
Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. Strong
light can cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or starting an
internal fire within seconds.
Figure 1. Avoiding damage from light sources
Damage can occur whether the fixture is powered on or off. See Figure 1. Damage
can also occur if the light hits the front of the fixture at an angle: the fixture does not
need to be pointing directly at the sun or other light source.
To avoid problems from strong light sources:
•
Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.
•
For outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of the fixture
is shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
•
Avoid pointing other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
The LCD display is fragile. Protect it from shock, or damage could be caused that is not
covered by the warranty.
Use only original spare parts. Do not make any structural modifications to the fixture or
you will void the product warranty.
Clean optical components only as directed. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals
commonly used for cleaning can damage coatings and surfaces.
Do not drop the fixture or expose it to mechanical stress.
Do not expose the fixture to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
Water and humidity
KNV fixtures are IP54 rated. In outdoor and high humidity applications, make sure that
all external power and data connectors are rated IP54 or higher.
Keep all unused connectors on the fixture sealed with their protective caps at all times,
both when the fixture is being used and when it is not in use.
Incorrect cabling and incorrect or unsealed connectors may lead to damage that is
not covered by the product warranty.
