Functional Tests
After the visual inspection and cor-
recting any faults found, including
tightening of lamps and replacement
of broken or missing lamps, plug in
and switch on the lamp set. Replace
any faulty lamps with ones of the
same voltage rating and manufacture,
check the box for details. Spare lamps
are usually provided with the set.
Lamps should not be removed or
installed with the supply on.
Only replace ‘fused’ lamps (some-
times identi
fi ed by a white mark
on the glass) with identical ‘fused’
lamps.
Installation on Christmas Tree
Christmas trees because of the pine
oils, and particularly after being in a
heated room for a week or two, are
very
fl ammable. Tree decorations
may also be fl ammable and should
be kept clear of the lamps as far as
possible. Christmas trees should be
mounted securely so that they are un-
likely to fall over, or be knocked over
by children or pets. They must be kept
clear of heat sources, including spot
lamps and particularly CANDLES.
Take care when decorating the tree,
use a stepladder if the tree is tall and
wear shoes. Many more accidents
are caused by treading on plugs and
lamps in bare feet than faulty electri-
cal equipment.
(light bulbs), lampholders and con-
ductors (wires).
The following are examples of items
that should be checked before plug-
ging in the set to the mains.
The fl exible cable and lampholders:
is the cable in good condition?
is it free from cuts, fraying and dam-
age?
are the connections at each lamphold-
er sound?
are the lampholders free from cracks
or damage, that might give access to
the live cable or live contacts of the
lamps?
The lamps:
are they all in place, undamaged,
properly screwed or pushed in?
The plug/transformer
Check that the plug is not damaged.
Look for signs of overheating.
Check the fuse (if any), make sure it is
the correct rating.
IF ANY DOUBT, HAVE THE SET
CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRI-
CIAN BEFORE USE OR SCRAP AND
PURCHASE A NEW SET.
Where the set is intended to be
connected to the supply via a ‘plug-in
transformer’, only use the transform-
er supplied with the set. Otherwise if
the output voltage does not match the
voltage of the lamps overheating may
result.
