Principle of function
This plasma lamp consists of a transparent glass ball filled with different gases at low pressure.
On the inside of the glass ball there is a smaller glass ball that serves as an electrode. If a high-
frequency alternating voltage is connected, flashes are created that reach from the inner to the
outer glass ball.
If, for example, a hand is placed on the glass, the electric field changes.
A visible light beam is created from the inner light ball to the point of contact.
Connection
• Place the plasma light close to a standard, domestic mains socket (230 V/AC 50 Hz).
• Plug the low voltage adapter into the connector socket for the voltage supply. The connector
socket is located in the stand of the plasma lamp's housing.
• Place the connection cable so that nobody can trip over it.
• Plug the power supply unit into a standard domestic mains socket (230 V/AC 50 Hz).
• Maintenance, adjustment and repair may only be carried out by a qualified
specialist or a specialised repair shop.
• If you have any questions, which are not answered in this manual, please
contact our technical service or another specialist.
• Capacitors in the device may still be charged, even if the device has been
disconnected from all power supplies.
• Unplug the power supply unit from the power socket, if the product is not
to be used for a long time.
• Always disconnect the power supply unit from the mains socket during a
thunderstorm.
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the
Employer's Liability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and
Operating Materials are to be observed.
• Only the power supply unit supplied may be used to power the plasma
lamp.
• Never plug in, or remove, the power unit with wet hands.
• Never pull on the power cable; only unplug it at the power socket by pulling
on the casing.
• Take particular care to prevent the plasma ball from getting wet or damp.
This may create electrical discharges outside of the globe to a distance of
several millimetres. This may cause severe burns or a fire.
Never position the product in the vicinity of combustible or easily flammable
materials/objects (e.g. curtains).
Make sure no object can touch the lamp or come close to it due to a draught
or from inattention. There is risk of fire.
