• Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow
operation by unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to
unprofessional use of the device.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns,
electroshocks, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
4. Installation
a) Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 700°C during
operation.
• When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or
remove it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They get hotter than this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see "Technical
Specifications"):
1. Remove the housing by twisting the screw.
2. When replacing a lamp, unplug the lamp socket and remove the old lamp.
3. Insert the lamp in the housing.
4. Fix the socket and close the device.
Remark: Do not operate the device when the cover is open.
b) Mounting the Device
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of
the device for one hour without deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable (e.g.
VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a
qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating work load limits, determining the
installation material to be used. Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may
result in injuries.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Don't connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
In order to connect the fixture to the mains, you have to install a power plug.
Brown = live, blue = neutral, yellow/green = earth.
Connect the fixture to the mains with the power plug. 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.
