Further information on installation at the ceiling
1. These instructions for use, enclosed by the manufacturer, are a prerequisite for proper installation and use of the luminaire. The lamp is generally
understood to mean the hanging lamp insert, with possibly a glass bottle being attached to it.
2. The lamp and the safety power adapter may only be installed and operated in dry rooms.
3. The luminaire may only be operated with a safety power adapter type SELV with a low voltage current output isolated from mains supply.
4. Under no circumstances may the luminaire be connected directly to the mains voltage! The luminaire may only be connected to the mains voltage via the
intermediate safety power adapter unit. Otherwise, there is high risk of an electrical shock if one touches the lamp.
5. Attention! Before starting to work, disconnect the power line (100-230 VAC) and switch off the fuse. Protection against electric shock must be ensured
with every installation and subsequent maintenance test.
6. Installation and maintenance work may only be carried out by a qualified electrician skilled in the art and in accordance with the local safety regulations.
7. Since the lamp heats up during operation, it must be ensured that the glass bottle that is to be attached to the lamp can withstand temperatures at the
bottleneck of at least 90 ° C - see data sheet. Since the manufacturer cannot guarantee that the glass bottle will not shatter and fall off, the lamp with the
bottle must not be placed directly above a person area under which people may be.
8. In general, as bottles only glass bottles may be used, which must not have any cracks in the glass and should be as homogeneous and stress-free as
possible in order not to break and fall off. When installing the luminaire insert in the bottle, be aware that the luminaire insert expands when it heats up
and the bottle contracts when it cools, which can lead to pressure tensions on the glass bottle. It is therefore important to ensure that the collar sleeve clip
can slide on a glass wall of the bottle when it expands without exerting too much pressure on the glass wall from the inside.
9. A falling bottle can cause damage to a person or an animal or even kill if the bottle hangs high enough, which of course must be avoided in any case.
10. Only glass bottles and not plastic bottles may be attached to the luminaire. A plastic bottle could melt and catch fire under certain circumstances.
11. A lamp with the glass bottle may only be installed directly above the person area if the glass bottle has been approved for being save by the
manufacturer. Even then because of safety reasons, the glass bottle may not hang higher than 3,5 m above ground.
12. For the installation, it must be ensured that there are no objects in the vicinity of the pendent lamp that could catch fire. The distance to the light source
and the cable connection part must be at least 30 cm, otherwise heat repercussion can take place. Sufficient ventilation of the lamp must be ensured.
13. The lamp must not be directly encased in plastic or paper/carton, as otherwise the air circulation and air cooling is not guaranteed, so that the lamp is
damaged or even the plastic or paper/carton could catch fire.
14. Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation in the lamp or glass bottle in which the lamp is located.
15. When installing the safety power adapter, a safe electrical isolation between the primary mains voltage and a secondary operating voltage for the
luminaire must be ensured. Primary and secondary lines must be laid apart from each other without crossing.
16. The safety power adapter unit must also be adequately ventilated and, for example, safely housed in the baldachin. To ensure adequate ventilation and
cooling of the safety power adapter, a small gap of 0.5-1 cm can be created between the baldachin and the ceiling, for example.
17. When installing the safety power adapter unit and the lamp, make sure that the maximum permissible ambient temperature is not exceeded - see data
sheet.
18. The maximum permissible ambient temperature for power adapter and the lamp must not be exceeded
–
see datasheet.
19. Before drilling possible fastening holes, pay attention to the routing of the mains cables so that they do not get damaged.
20. Cable wire ends must not be soldered, use ferrules.
21. Observe the voltage marking on the safety power adapter unit.
22. Possible carrier conductors of different lights arranged next to one another and must be mounted in such a way, that they cannot encounter one another.
23. A secondary cable length of the luminaire must not exceed 3 m.
24. Connection cable ends must not be subjected to pulling forces.
25. All electrical connections must be screwed on tightly or fully plugged in and firmly connected, since good contact is a prerequisite for a long service life
with higher currents. Retighten screw connections after 20 minutes.
26. The terminal connection must be checked regularly for secure contact (tighten the screws) and, if necessary, be cleaned of dirt.
27. If the luminaire is to be dimmed, a corresponding dimmable power adapter unit must be used.
28. Note the power range of the dimmer. Underload can lead to flickering. Conventional and electronic safety power supplies cannot be operated together
using the same dimmer.
29. Avoid short circuits and overloads.
30. Under no circumstances may the luminaire be operated with a current higher than the maximum operating current permitted in the data sheet.
31. In an event of an incorrect polar connection between the lamp and the power adapter, i.e. if plus and minus have been interchanged, a safety diode
integrated in the cable connection part of the luminaire generates a short circuit, which prevents the LED lamp part from being destroyed. If there is a
short circuit after connecting and switching on the lamp the lamp does not light up, then please check the connection for correct polarity.
32. The safety power supplies from the manufacturer of the luminaire have integrated short-circuit protection and overtemperature protection. If a light should
go out and then come back again automatically, this may be a sign that the safety power adapter is overheated. Then the safety power adapter would
need a better ventilation.
33. Troubleshooting, maintenance and servicing work may only be carried out by an electrician. If the temperature switch built into the control gear or the
thermal control is triggered, for example due to incorrect installation, overload or short circuit in the lighting system, the following points must be
observed:
a) Disconnect the operating device from the mains voltage (pull out the plug, remove or disconnect the fuse)
b) Eliminate source of error.
c) The power adapter unit is ready for operation again after approx. 30 minutes.
34. Do not operate the safety power adapter units together with inductive loads (fluorescent lamps, discharge lamps, fans, etc.) connected to a same power
line, but always install separate switches (separate load circuits), since switching inductive loads produces voltage peaks of several thousand volts and
can causes defects in the safety power adapter unit.
35. Keep these operating and installation instructions!
36. Always observe the technical data in the data sheet and on the product. Technical changes reserved.
