PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
LEAVE A COPY FOR THE USER / MAINTENANCE ENGINEER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
USING THIS INSTRUCTION LEAFLET
This instruction leaflet has been designed as a general installation guide to help you install your particular outdoor
luminaire. Please pay particular attention to how your luminaire is wired. If you require any guidance or any further
information regarding your outdoor luminaire, please contact us via the details below or visit our web site.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
•
Installation should be carried out in accordance with the latest edition of the I.E.E. Wiring Regulations (BS7671)
and taking into consideration the latest Building Regulations. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
•
Before commencing any installation or maintenance work, ensure electricity is switched off at the mains.
•
Please take note of the maximum rated voltage for your luminaire.
•
Please take note of the IP (Ingress Protection) rating of your luminaire when deciding location.
•
Always allow sufficient slack in the supply cable in order to remove the luminaire from its position for any future
maintenance.
•
Ensure that ALL electrical connections are tight with no loose strands.
IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
•
Always switch off mains supply before installation or servicing.
•
These LED luminaires are NOT dimmable.
•
It is recommended to clean every two to three months to preserve the finish of this product. Do not use solvents
or aggressive cleaning agents.
GENERAL INSTALLATION - SAFETY
When positioning your luminaire, please take note that outdoor electrical installations should be installed by qualified
electricians. Electrical equipment in the garden can be lethal if incorrectly installed or if inadequate provisions have been
made in the event of an equipment fault. Water is the main threat. It can seep in through joints and gaskets; it can be drawn
into electrical enclosures by capillary action; and it can penetrate ageing materials which corrode, crack or are damaged by
wildlife, pets, children, careless gardening or just time. Water conducts electricity and as the ground is usually damp to
some extent, the contact of human feet with the ground is all that is needed to provide a fatal route for electrical current.
Proper circuit protection for all exterior electrical services should include a residual current device (RCD), also known as an
earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB). This simple device ensures that the power is cut off immediately; it detects a leakage
of current to earth, which indicates an electrical fault which is potentially threatening to life. Observe these few simple rules
and keep your outdoor electrical installation safe.
GENERAL INSTALLATION – LAYING CABLE
Laying electrical cables in the ground may be subject to specific regulations. The aim is to ensure that the cables are buried
deeply enough in the ground to avoid any disturbance which is likely to occur. Where armoured cables can be buried at
adequate depth to avoid being damaged by any reasonable foreseeable disturbance of the ground, they can be laid in a
buffer layer of sand and covered with cable warning tape. Where it is not possible to bury the cables deeply enough because
of the presence of tree roots or unsuitable ground conditions, extra mechanical protection around the cables will be
required. This is usually in the form of plastic ducts or conduits through which the cables are run
.
