WIRING / CONNECTION:
Always use a waterproof Junction Box or Tubecon Connector to connect the fitting to the mains power supply.
IMPORTANT: Cable should be laid inside armoured conduit or piping to protect
from water-logging, chemicals found in soil and damage. If buried, it should be
buried to at least 0.5m below ground to reduce damage risk. If this method is not
used, cable warranty will be void.
1.
Decide on the positioning of the spike light. See below for mounting
installation.
2.
Locate the mains electrical supply (pre-installed armoured cable).
3.
Connect the fitting to the mains supply via a waterproof junction box or
Tubecon connector (see diagram A for wiring information).
4.
Ensure all terminals of the connector block are secure with no stray wires
and that the connection is watertight.
5.
Cable supplied with fitting is not armoured, therefore it should be laid inside
armoured conduit or hooked up safely out of reach in protective piping.
6.
Install lamp (see below).
7.
Once fully installed, turn on the mains power.
SPIKE MOUNTING:
1.
Tilt the spotlight head to create plenty of room between the head and bracket (see below).
2.
Remove the socket screw from the ground spike with the allen key provided.
3.
Place the spike underneath the U bracket, lining up with the predrilled / threaded holes.
4.
Secure the spike to the bracket with the socket screw / washer by hand, then tighten fully with the allen key
provided (image B).
TIP:
for ease of tightening (due to little clearing for the allen key) hold the socket screw
securely with the allen key and turn the spike to tighten.
5.
Dampen the ground in the area where the fitting is to be installed.
6.
Carefully, push the spike into the ground to the desired depth with the base of the U bracket. Do
NOT
put
pressure on the spotlight head.
7.
Gently compact the earth around the spike to ensure the spike is mounted firmly in the ground and does not move from side to
side.
SURFACE MOUNTING:
1.
Remove the spotlight head to release the U Bracket.
2.
Hold the bracket in position and mark the desired location for mounting (the head can be fully removed if
required).
3.
Attach the bracket to the surface with the relevant screws / washers for the material (not supplied)
–
see
image C.
4.
Reattach the head, as per image D.
5.
Adjust the head to the desired position and secure by tightening the 2 x socket screws on each side of the U
Bracket.
ADJUSTING THE SPOTLIGHT HEAD:
The head can be adjusted and set at various angles via the U Bracket. If this is too secure to adjust, follow the following
steps:
1.
Support the head and slightly loosen the 2 x socket screws found on each side of the U Bracket using the
allen key provided by turning anti-clockwise
–
one turn should be enough to allow the head to move up and
down
(do not fully remove).
2.
Angle the head in the desired position and tighten the loosened screws to secure in place.
3.
If a screw becomes fully removed, return into the outer side of the bracket with a washer on each side as per
image (D).
INSTALLING / CHANGING LAMP:
•
Unscrew the cap of the spotlight by hand (anti-clockwise).
•
Push in the GU10 using a push and twist action (clockwise)
–
note the bulb holder will be greased.
•
Ensure silica gel pack is present (change if damp).
•
Ensure o-ring is present on the male thread of the body and is not twisted.
•
Replace cap and tighten securely by hand (clockwise).
