SAFETY MESSAGES
Disregard of the safety messages may lead to danger of life, burning or
fire!
Installation, mounting or works on the electrical connection may only be
carried out by an approved electrician.
Type X attachement: The external cable is of a special type and may only
replaced by the same type. This special cable is available at your specialist
dealer.
The cable of the luminaire may not be placed underground.
There may be hot surfaces on the luminaire. These surfaces are indicated
on the drawing or on the luminaire by the following sign:
The product may not be modified or converted.
Do not hang or fasten anything on the product, especially no decoration.
Do not cover the product - provide free air circulation.
The luminaire may only be operated with a complete and intact protection
glass.
In case of a malfunction you may NOT touch the product or operate it
further. Disconnect the product from the power supply by an external
switch or by the fuse.
A malfunction exists when:
visible damages appear.
the product does not work properly (e.g. flickering).
smoke, steam or crackling sounds appear.
smell of burning is recognisable.
an overheating is recognisable (e.g. by discolouration of adjacent
surfaces).
Operate the product only after maintenance and examination by an
approved electrician!
This product is not intended to be used by children. Ensure that children do
not suffer any harm e.g. by burns from hot surfaces or by electrical shock.
Additional safety messages are indicated by this symbol:
.
USE AS DIRECTED
This product serves exclusively lighting purposes and may:
only be operated using a suitable transformer, output: 12V/AC.
only be installed according to safety class III (three).
only be operated when firmly mounted on a stable, even and tilt-fixed
surface.
only be operated on normally or not flammable surfaces.
not be exposed to strong mechanical loads or to strong contamination.
OPERATION
High currents with low-voltage installations! Check all electrical
connections once in a while for a secure fit.
The distance between the light source and the illuminated surface must
be at least
0,5m
. Pay special caution to easily inflammable objects (e.g.
curtains, fabrics, foliage, etc.).
MAINTANANCE AND CARE
Light source
Exchange the light source always before it reaches its lifespan, to avoid
personal injuries, or damages of the luminaire or other objects.
Disconnect the product from the power supply, before you exchange the
light source. Let the light source cool down before replacement.
Use only light sources that are suitable for the product. Suitable light
sources are indicated on the type label.
Suitable light sources: QR-C51, G5.3, 35W max.
Replacing the light source
Remove the cover.
Remove the glass.
Remove the used light source.
Stick the new light source into the socket.
Put the glass back on.
Attach
the
cover.
Check and clean the gasket after each opening of the luminaire. The bearing
surface of the gasket must be free of dirt. These measures ensure that the IP
class is maintained.
Note the proper fit for the gasket. Tighten the screws in a cross-wise order, to
achieve an even pressure on the gasket.
Care
The following enviromental influences may have unwanted effects on the
surface of the product:
acid rain and sour soil, high salt content in the air
cleaning agents, fertilizer especially in flowerbeds
thawing salt, other chemical substances (e.g. herbicides)
Protect the product by adequate means to avoid unwanted changes of the
surface.
Disconnect the product from the power supply and let it cool down, before
you clean the product.
Clean the product on a regular basis using a slightly moistened, soft and fluff-
free cloth. Please also note additional supplied notes on maintanance and
care.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Storage
The product must be stored in a dry and clean environment. Do not strain
the product mechanically during storage.
After a damp or soiling storage the product may only be installed after
checking its condition by an approved electrician.
Disposal
(European Union)
Do not dispose the product with the regular household waste! Products
marked with this sign must be disposed according to the directive(WEEE,
2003/108) on electrical and electronic devices at local collection points for
such devices!
INSTALLATION
(only by an approved electrician)
Preparing the low-voltage (12V) power supply: The transformer should be used
up to 80% of its capacity. The total watt power of the connected luminaires must
not exceed the power output of the transformer. The distance between luminaire
and transformer should be at least 20 cm. The conductor length between an
electronical transformer and a luminaire may not be longer than 2 metres
(Electromagnetic Emission). Note the manufacturers information for the
transformer.
Switch off the mains or respectively the connection lead before doing any
works!
High currents with low-voltage installations! Use only heat resistant wires
and clamps to avoid danger of fire. Check all electrical connections for a secure
fit.
Use only parts, which are supplied with the product or are described as
accessories!
Inspect the product for loose parts inside the housing. When there are
loose parts inside the housing and these are not explicitly described the
product may not be installed or operated.
Use the supplied fastening material only when it is suited for the
installation background. If this is not the case use only fastening material
suiting the installation background.
Unpacking
Carefully take the product out of the packaging removing any transport
safeguards.
Before disposal of the packaging material make sure that all components
of the product are removed.
Installation place
The product is solely suited for recessed floor installation.
Note the security advice on the distance to the illuminated surface in the
chapter OPERATION.
Note that maintaining the IP class 65/IP67 requires an appropriate
connection corresponding with this IP class.
IP65: Protection against dust (dust-tight) - Protection against jetted water
from all directions.
IP67: Protection against dust (dust-tight) - Protection against the
penetration of water when temporarily submerged.
Prepare the power supply lead according to valid rules for outdoor
installations.
Do not seal the product yourself, using additional silicon or another
sealant.
Before installation
Do not remove the grease on the crews and the screw holes! The grease
inhibits anodic corrosion (electrolysis). Renew the grease on the screw
connections after each time the fixture has been opened.
Carry out the installation when the weather is dry.
Installation steps
(read completely before installation)
Prepare the recess if not done yet. When installing the lighting unit
outdoors provide a gravel bed, 20 cm thick, beneath the installation pot.
This serves as protection from corrosion.
Install the luminaire as shown in the figure.
Electrical
Connection
Establish the connection as shown in the schematic drawing 1.
a: Luminaire
e: Blank tube
b: Installation pot
f: Cast-resin sleeve or
watertight connection unit
c: Connection lead of the fitting
g: Power supply lead
d: Shrinking tube
h: Drainage
Connect the product with the prepared 12V power supply.
All connections must be properly protected and sealed against
penetration of water and dirt!
Inserting the light source
Stick the light source into the socket.
Note the proper fit for the gasket. Tighten the screws in a cross-wise order,
to achieve an even pressure on the gasket.
Check if the product functions properly and is securely fixed!
