LAMP (RE)PLACEMENT
In case of replacement of the lamp or maintenance, do not open the
fixture within 10 minutes until the unit cools down after switching off.
Always unplug the unit before servicing! Always use the same type of
spare parts (bulbs, fuses, etc.) When replacing parts, please only
genuine spare parts.
•
Switch off the unit and unplug the mains cable.
•
Wait for about 10 minutes until the unit has been cooled down.
•
Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screw that closes the lamp compartment of the fixture.
•
On the inside you will see the 4 lamp sockets.
•
Unplug the old lamps.
•
Hold the lamp firmly while pressing the new lamp gently in the socket.
Attention!
Check the label on the backside of the device or see the technical
specifications in this manual to know which lamp should be used. Never install lamps
with a higher wattage! Lamps with higher wattage generate temperatures the device was
not designed for.
•
Don’t touch the bulb with bare hands! This drastically shortens the lifespan of the lamp. If
you touched the lamp, clean it with a cloth and a little denatured alcohol. Wipe the lamp
off after installing.
•
Close the lamp compartment with the screw.
•
Done!
OVERHEAD RIGGING
•
Important:
The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only.
Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property.
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be
respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device
should be inspected regularly for safety.
•
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during
rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
•
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or
liquids. The fixture must be fixed
at least 50cm
from surrounding walls.
•
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons
may walk by or be seated.
•
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of
10times the device’s weight.
•
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when
installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no
part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
•
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be
considered!
•
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
•
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The
installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is
still optimal.
