Procedure:

Step 1: Unscrew the fixation screws of the protective grid.

Step 2: Remove the protective grid.

Step 3: If replacing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the lamp-socket.

Step 4: Insert the E-40/400 W HQV-400 UV lamp into the lamp-socket.

Step 5: Replace the protective grid and tighten the screws.

Do not operate this device with opened protective grid!

Overhead rigging

DANGER TO LIFE!

Please consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the respective national norms during the

installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!

English

The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.

The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.

When rigging, derigging or servicing the device staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.

Procedure:

The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.

The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.

If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device!

Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's weight.

DANGER OF FIRE!

When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.

Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.

For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 12 times the weight of the fixture. You must only use safety-ropes with quick link with screw cap. Pull the safety-rope through the attachment eyelet and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.

The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.

A safety rope which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.

Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation screws.

DANGER TO LIFE!

Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!

Connection with the mains

Connect the device to the mains with the power-plug.

The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:

Cable Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green Earth

The earth has to be connected!

If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.

The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC-standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30 mA.

OPERATION

After you connected the spot to the mains, the lamp needs 3-4 minutes warm-up time until it reaches full lighting output.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by a skilled person once a year.

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1) All screws used for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
