Installation
1. General
The STR1 Roadway lantern is certified to the ATEX standard, certificate number: ABT 15ATEX4111. This
certificate should be used in conjunction with the installation, operation and maintenance of the product.
Installation and electrical connections must be carried out in accordance with EN/IEC60079-14 and
EN/IEC60079-15 as applicable and local or national standards and/or codes of practice as applicable.
The STR1 roadway lantern is class 1 apparatus and must be suitably earthed. It is the installer /users
responsibility to ensure that the luminaire and the relevant ratings are suitable for the application, zone and
environment and ensure the materials as stated will not be attacked by existing foreseeable aggressive
substances.
It should be noted that this equipment will be provided with an external non-metallic coating (paint finish), to
avoid the build-up of an electrostatic charge, clean only with a damp cloth.
2.
Supply Voltages
For voltage refer to rating plate. The supply voltage must be within the Vac range specified in the operational
parameters.
Note: it is important that the frequency of the supply matches the frequency stated on the driver rating
label.
Supply voltage variation must not exceed ±6% and the luminaire should not be operated continuously beyond
this limit. In any case the voltage variation must NEVER exceed ±10% as this will invalidate the certification and
could lead to the product being unsafe. If in doubt, advice should be sought from Abtech technical
department.
3.
Mounting Luminaire
The luminaire should be pole mounted which is not prone to excessive levels of vibration or shock. No objects
should be placed within 1m directly in front of the glass window. The luminaire should be fixed in position in
accordance with lighting design parameters and secured using appropriate fixings at an angle between 0°to
15°.
4.
Supply Cable
The STR1 range of roadway lanterns is suitable for use with cable with insulation rated for a minimum
temperature of 80°C. Terminals are suitable for looping up to 4mm² conductors. Cable type must be effectively
filled to ensure that the non-sparking properties of the luminaire are maintained.
Access to the terminals is via the glass cover which can be removed by undoing the eight cover screws.
All electrical connections and components should be inspected for security of wiring and cracks in insulation
and stray conductor strands. The conductors should be fitted into the terminal block ensuring that conductors
are not stretched or stressed. If removable threadlock adhesive has been applied to the terminal screws, this
should be reapplied prior to tightening the terminal screws after adjustment. When terminating the conductor
into the terminal block this must be carried out in an ambient temperature of between -10°C and 80°C, also it
is vital that no more than 1mm of bare conductor protrudes from the terminal throat. The mains terminal
block does not require threadlock adhesive to be applied to the Cable glands should be fitted with an
appropriate sealing washer to the inside of the luminaire. The sealing washer must maintain the Restricted
breathing properties of the luminaire and meet the minimum IP rating as noted on the apparatus label.
Standard cable entry is a threaded M20x1.5. Care should be taken with threaded entries to ensure no swarf or
debris enters any of the electrical components. All swarf and debris must be removed from the interior of the
luminaire.
