Instructions for connection and operation
Pay attention to the data sheet included with the product when wiring the inverter.
• Begin by mounting the inverter in a suitable location.
Ensure that the inverter is protected against accidental contact and that there is a
sufficient clearance from other boards and cables etc.
• Connect the fluorescent lamp to the output on the inverter using a suitable connection cable.
Fluorescent lamps must not be subjected to mechanical loads as they break very
easily. The mercury inside the fluorescent lamp is harmful when touched or when the
vapour is inhaled.
• Lay all cables such that they will not be damaged or bent.
• Seal the housing that contains the inverter, the fluorescent lamp and the LC display.
• Turn on the operating voltage.
Turn off the operating voltage if the fluorescent lamp does not turn on. Then check that
the polarity/operating voltage is correct and that the inverter is correctly connected to the
fluorescent lamp.
