5.2 Persons and product
Before connecting the product to the mains, check that your local AC mains voltage
matches the specifications on the type plate. Never try to operate the light using another
type of voltage, as this may destroy the product.
Never cover the product. The surface may get hot during use; covering the product not
only constitutes a fire hazard but may also cause it to overheat, which could damage the
components.
Keep the product away from flammable materials and objects.
Do not hang or secure any objects (e.g. decorations) to the product.
Do not mount and use the product in rooms or in adverse environmental conditions that
contain or may contain flammable gases, vapours or dust! This may cause an explosion!
The LED strip is constructed according to protection class III.
The LED strip is not designed for use with an alternating current (transformers). This may
destroy the product!
Do not place mechanical loads onto the components of the LED strip.
Never pour any liquids over electrical products or put objects filled with liquid next
to the product. If liquid or an object does enter the interior of the product, power down
the respective socket (e.g. switch off circuit breaker) and then unplug the mains plug.
Discontinue use and take the product to a specialist repair centre.
Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room into a warm
one. This may cause condensation to form, which can destroy the product. The power
adapter may also cause a fatal electric shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature
before connecting it and putting it into use. This may take several hours.
Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a fatal
electric shock! Switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing the power adapter
(switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, and then switch
off at the corresponding RCD protective switch). You can then unplug the power adapter
from the mains socket. Dispose of the faulty mains adapter in an environmentally friendly
manner and discontinue use. Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.
The mains socket must be located in direct proximity to the product and should be easily
accessible.
Only power the product using the mains adapter provided.
Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use
the grips on the plug.
When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are not pinched, kinked or
damaged by sharp edges.
Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This
poses a risk of injury.
For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during storms.
Always comply with the accident prevention regulations for electrical equipment when
using the product in industrial facilities.
