contamination.
only be installed and operated after a condition inspection if the
product is dirty or has been moistened through storage.
not be modified or converted.
3.

OPERATION

High currents with low-voltage installations!
Check all electrical connections once in a while for a secure fit.
There may be hot surfaces on the fixture. These surfaces are
indicated on the drawing or on the fixture by the following sign:
Exchange the light source always before it reaches its lifespan, to avoid
personal injuries, or damages of the fixture or other objects.
Disconnect the product from the power supply, before you exchange
the bulbs. Let the light source cool down before replacement.
There exists danger of burning!
Use only light sources that are approved for the product. Approved light
sources are indicated on the type label.
Other types of light sources may cause fire risk, damage the product
or lead to malfunction.
Replacing the light source: Remove the shield and the protection
glass by loosening the screws. Remove the used bulb. Stick the bulb
into the socket. Reattach the shield and the glass.
Check and clean the gasket after each opening of the fixture. 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.

INSTALLATION

(only by an approved electrician)
Preparing the low-voltage (12 V) power supply: The transformer should
be used up to 80 % of its capacity. The total watt power of the connected
light fittings must not exceed the power output of the transformer. The
distance between spot and transformer should be at least 20 cm. The
conductor length between an electronical transformer and a lamp 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.
There exists mortal danger from an electric shock.
High currents with low-voltage installations!
Use only heat resistant wires and clamps to avoid danger of fire.
Use only parts, which are supplied with the product or are described as
accessories!
Otherwise the product or the whole installation may not be secure.
Danger for life or danger of fire may exist!
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.
The housing maybe voltage-carrying. Danger of electric shock!
Unpacking
Consignment:
Three protective tubes Installation pot
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.
Make sure that the product is mounted on a stable, even and tilt-fixed
background.
The light exit should be placed at least so far from the illuminated
surface, as indicated as minimum distance on the type plate of the
luminaire: . Pay special caution to easily inflammable objects
(e.g. foliage).
Before installation
Do not try to seal the product yourself, using additional silicon or another
sealant.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GREASE ON THE SCREWS 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.
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.
Prepare the power supply lead according to valid rules for outdoor
installations.
Separate Installation Steps
Take the fixture out of the plastic casing.
Remove the shield by loosening the screws.
Direct the earth cable through the opening of the plastic casing.
Fix the plastic casing firmly into the earth.
Remove the connection plate(a) and the bulb holder(b).
Direct the earth cable, in sufficient length, through the cable screwing.
Secure the cable screwing using a suitable tool.
Connect the product with the prepared low-voltage power supply.
Fix the connection plate and the bulb holder again.
Inserting the light source: Stick the bulb into the socket. You may
adjust the position of the bulb now.
Assemble the fixture in reverse order. Fasten the light unit to the
installation pot.
Pay attention that the gasket fits properly. The bearing surface of the
gasket must be free of dirt. Tighten the screws on the shield in a cross-
wise order, to achieve an even pressure on the gasket.
The product is now ready for operation.
