Stability and weight-bearing capacity
If the Inground 200 is to be installed in a location where pedestrians or vehicles are likely to put
weight on the fixture, use a drive-over installation sleeve (see
Water resistance and drainage
The Inground 200 has an ingress protection rating of IP 65/67. This means that the fixture is
protected against low-pressure water jets and immersion. However, the product is not designed to
withstand high-pressure water jets.
As a sensible precaution, make sure that it is possible for water to leave the installation well or
sleeve
at least
as fast as it can enter it. An installation should be capable of draining away water
from the heaviest rain or snowfall in the area where the Inground 200 is located.
To minimize the risk of flooding or waterlogging, install the fixture in a location which is above the
level of the surrounding area, and make sure drainage conditions are adequate.
Disturbance by roots
The further the fixture is located from vegetation such as trees, hedges or bushes, the less chance
there is that the growth of roots will disturb the fixture or even cause damage to the fixture and its
cables. If the fixture is to be located close to vegetation, consult a landscape architect about the
possibility of disturbance by root systems.
Service access
Access to the outside of the Inground 200 housing is only necessary during cable installation or
cable replacement. All internal components and cable connections can be accessed for service
through the top of the fixture without having to remove the housing from its installation site.
