Fusion MBL40 User Manual Rev. A

 

 

● 

Check the GLP website at www.glp.de and make sure that you have the latest version 
of this manual. Check the fixture software version indicated on page 2 of this manual 

and then use the fixture’s control panel to check the version installed in the fixture. If the 
versions are not the same, this manual may still cover the fixture, because software 
updates do not always affect the way you use the fixture. However, it is possible that this 
manual does not match the fixture perfectly. Software release notes can help clarify this 

question. You can consult software release notes and download the correct version of 
this manual on the GLP website if necessary. 

● 

Make all user documentation available to all installers and operators. Save this 
document for future reference. 

● 

If you have any questions about the safe operation of the fixture, please contact an 

authorized GLP distributor (see list of distributors at● 

Use the fixture only as directed in this manual. Observe all markings in this manual and on 
the fixture. 

● 

Refer all repairs and any service operation not described in this manual to a technician 

authorized by GLP. 

● 

The light source in this fixture must not be changed by the end user.

Read and follow the user documentation for all additional equipment. 

 

 

Electrical safety 

● 

Do not allow the fixture to become immersed. Do not expose the fixture to high-pressure 
water projections. 

● 

Keep any unused connectors on the fixture sealed with their protective caps at all times, 

both when the fixture is in use and when not in use. 

● 

Use only a source of AC mains power that complies with local building and electrical 
codes and has both overload and ground fault (earth fault) protection. 

● 

Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth). 

● 

Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power before carrying out any installation or 
maintenance work and when the fixture is not in use. 

● 

Disconnect the fixture from power immediately if any seal, cover, cable, connector or 
other component is damaged, defective, deformed or showing signs of overheating. Do 
not reapply power until the fixture has been repaired and made safe by a technician 

authorized by GLP. 

● 

Check that all power distribution equipment, cables and connectors are in perfect 
condition, rated for the electrical requirements of all connected devices, suitable for 
their application and suitable for the installation environment. 

● 

Use only Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 cable connectors for AC mains power input at the 

fixture’s Mains IN connector and for relaying AC mains power from one fixture’s Mains 
OUT (Thru) connector to another fixture’s Mains IN connector.
