General Safety Information
FBF-C1D1 FLOOD LED LUMINAIRE
• To reduce the risk of death, personal injury or property damage from fire, electric shock, falling parts, cuts/abrasions, and other
hazards read all warnings and instructions included with and on the fixture box and all fixture labels. Before installing, servicing,
or performing routine maintenance upon this equipment, follow these general precautions.
• Commercial installation, service and maintenance of luminaires should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
• Do not install damaged product!
• This fixture is intended to be connected to a properly installed and grounded UL listed junction box.
• Make sure that the supply voltage is the same as the luminaire voltage.
• Do not install where the marked operating temperatures exceed the ignition temperatures of the hazardous atmosphere.
• Do not operate in ambient temperatures above those indicated on the luminaire nameplate.
• All gasket seals must be clean and undamaged.
This fixture is suitable for use in the following hazardous (classified) areas as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC):
Installation
THE BUILDING PHASE
If the cable or cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be
exclusively replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a
similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The luminaires
should not be connected to a temporary electricity supply. An
unstable supply can damage the electronics in the luminaire.
Always connect the luminaires when there is no incoming voltage.
Any plastic film covering the optic must be removed before the
luminaires are put into long-term use.
CONNECTION
The supply cable must be of a quality that can withstand exposure
to UV radiation and heat from the luminaires and light sources.
Even if temperature conditions inside the luminaires are within the
requirements, it may be that the power cable is not of a sufficient
quality to withstand this. The supply cable must be protected from
direct radiation from the florescent light sources by means of
lightproof casing or similar. If the supply cable is routed through the
luminaire, both possible UV radiation and the impact of heat from the
luminaire components on the cable needs to be taken into account.
DRIVER
The lifetime of the driver is influenced by temperature and the
quality of the supply voltage. Rated failure of the components is
.2% per 1000 hours at the luminaire’s maximum allowed ambient
temperature. However, a loss of around 10% may be expected
during this period. Transients and spikes, as well as connection to
disturbed mains supply, will drastically reduce lifetime.
Maintenance
CLEANING
Regular cleaning of luminaires is essential for optimal lighting.
Luminaires are cleaned in a de-energized state. Electrical
components and connections should not be exposed to water
or moisture. Be aware that LED luminaires are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Cleaning intervals are normally
consistent with those planned during the project planning or
when light sources are changed.
Luminaires can be cleaned with a neutral detergent (pH 7). The
detergent is mixed in lukewarm water. The mixture is then applied
with a microfiber cloth, sponge or similar. Afterwards, soap residues
should be removed using a soft clean microfiber cloth dampened
with water. Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the
luminaires as residual detergent may collect in the cover, reflector
or optical components, and be difficult to remove later. Organic
solvent-based and strongly alkaline detergents should be avoided,
as they can damage components in the short and long term. This
applies particularly to components made from various plastics.
Glossy reflective surfaces should be dusted regularly to ensure
optimum lighting. A brand new, clean and dry microfiber cloth is
recommended for dusting. For removal of grease and fingerprints,
reflector material can be sprayed with a detergent for cleaning
windows, glass, computer screens etc. and dried with a brand new,
clean and dry microfiber cloth. Any remaining detergent can be
removed by applying clean water and then be wiped clean with
a brand new, clean and dry microfiber cloth. Reflectors should be
cleaned with care in order to prevent damage to reflector materials.
Luminaires with high IP-class and without any plastic parts, e.g.
stainless steel bodied fixtures are able to resist washing processes
with aggressive detergents. After using aggressive detergent, it
is important to rinse the luminaire properly with clean water to
remove any residue.
REPLACEMENT OF INTERCHANGEABLE
LIGHT SOURCES
Always use gloves when replacing light sources so that you do not
leave fingerprints on the reflecting surface. Light sources should be
replaced when the luminaires are in a de-energized state. The light
sources being replaced must be replaced with similar ones in order
to maintain the characteristics of the luminaires.
Light sources at the end of their service life can produce heat above
the expected level. This can damage luminaires’ components. It is
always financially wise to plan the replacement of light sources in
groups. Check the lifetime of the light source you use on our website
or consult your light source supplier. Then plan the intervals at which
you want to replace your light sources. Some light sources are likely
to fail before their indicated lifetime and may have to be replaced
before the planned group replacement.
LED LUMINAIRES
LED Luminaires have a tolerance in their light output of +-10%. As for
conventional light sources LED light sources will have a reduction in
light output during their lifetime. When exchanging an LED luminaire
with a new one you may be able to see a difference in light output
compared with the old luminaires. This is a consequence of technical
changes and improved light output, new LED luminaires may have
slightly different lighting qualities compared to the old ones. For

REPLACING DRIVER
The lifetime of the driver is influenced by temperature and the
quality of the supply voltage. Rated failure of the components is
.2% per 1000 hours at the luminaire’s maximum allowed ambient
temperature. However, a loss of around 10% may be expected
during this period. Transients and spikes, as well as connection to
disturbed mains supply, will drastically reduce lifetime.
Drivers should be replaced by qualified personnel and always when
the luminaires have been de-energized. For LED luminaires it is
important to establish an EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area) before
any replacement of driver is conducted. This is due to LED light
sources are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Disconnect or turn off power before installation
or servicing.
Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing
it with the luminaire label information.
Make all electrical and grounded connections in
accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and any applicable local code requirements.
All wiring connections should be capped with UL
approved recognized wire connectors.
WARNING: RISK OF BURN
Allow fixture to cool before handling.
Do not touch enclosure or light source.
Follow all manufacturer’s warnings,
recommendations and restrictions for: driver type,
burning position, mounting locations/methods,
replacement and recycling.
CAUTION: RISK OF INJURY
Wear gloves and safety glasses at all times
when removing luminaire from carton, installing,
servicing or performing maintenance.
Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source
while it is on.
CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE
Keep combustible and other materials that can
burn away from lamp/lens.
Do not operate in close proximity to persons,
combustible materials or substances affected
by heat or drying.
