and moisture. Respect a minimum distance of 0.5m between the device’s light output and any illuminated surface.
•
Use bolts and nuts of no less than M10 x 25mm to attach the device through the provided mounting holes in its
base. Fix the device with an appropriate safety cable (e.g.
VDLSC7
or

4. Installation
a) Lamp
•
Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
•
Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 700°C during operation.
•
When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove it.

”, p.5):
1. Unscrew the 4 screws (W, X, Y & Z) at the back holding the lamp holder and gently remove it.
2. Remove the old lamp and insert the new one.
3. Carefully reposition the plate and fasten the 4 screws.
4. On the same plate, there are 3 screws marked A, B & C. Fasten or loosen these screws to adjust the
position of the lamp in order to obtain maximum light output
Wait at least 10 minutes to switch the lamp back on after you've turned it off.
