Avoiding damage to the fixture
Important! Follow the directions in this section carefully, or the fixture may suffer damage
that is not covered by the product warranty.
General precautions
Do not drop the fixture or expose it to mechanical stress.
Protect the onboard OLED display and control panel from shocks, or they may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
Do not expose the fixture to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
Clean optical components only as directed. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals commonly
used for cleaning can damage the lens coatings and surfaces.
Use only original spare parts. Do not make any structural modifications to the fixture or you
will void the product warranty.
Avoiding damage from light sources and heat
To avoid problems from strong light sources:
●
Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.
●
In 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.
●
Do not aim other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
Do not operate the fixture in ambient temperatures above 40° C / 104° F. Allow free airflow
around the fixture.
IP rating
XPAR 12Z fixtures are IP65-rated:
●
IP
stands for Ingress (entry into the fixture) Protection.
●
The first figure
6
in the rating means that fixtures are protected against the entry of dust
and airborne particles.
●
The second figure
5
in the rating means that fixtures are protected against the entry of
rain and water projections from all angles. Fixtures are not protected against immersion
in water and they are not protected against high-pressure water jets.
Avoiding damage from water and humidity
●
Do not install XPAR 12Z fixtures in a location where water can pool around the fixture or
allow XPAR 12Z fixtures to become submerged in any other way. Do not aim low- or high-
pressure water jets at fixtures.
●
Keep all unused connectors on the fixture sealed with their protective caps, both when
the fixture is being used and when it is not in use.
●
In outdoor and high-humidity environments, use IP65-rated power and data connectors
and cable (an IP65 rating means that the item is protected against the entry of water
from rain, projections and low-pressure jets as well as the entry of dust). When assembling
connectors and installing them on cable, follow the manufacturer’s and ensure that an
