4. Installation
a) Lamps
- 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.
- Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They generate higher temperatures than the ones this device was
designed for.
- Replace a deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see “
7. Technical Specifications
”, p.3):
1. Unscrew the screw cap on the front of the housing (under the lens) and pull the lens ring towards you.
2. Remove the old lamp from the socket and insert the new one.
3. Put the lens ring back and fix the screw cap.
Remark: Do not operate the device when the cover is off.
b) Fuse
- Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.
- If the lamp burns out, chances are you will need to replace the fuse on the rear panel of the base as well.
- Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see “
7. Technical Specifications
” on p.3):
1. Unscrew the fuse holder at the back with an appropriate screwdriver.
2. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.
3. Replace the fuse holder and fasten it with the screwdriver.
c) Mounting the Device
- Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
- The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight for one hour without
deformation.
- The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.

check the device before you bring it into service. Have a qualified technician check the entire installation once a
year.
- Install the device in a location where nobody can pass by, sit down or touch it.
- Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating work load limits, determining the installation material
to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself
if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
- Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
- Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device.
- Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
- Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Don’t connect it to a dimming pack.
