4. Installation
a) Lamp
• 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.
Also, do not switch the lamp back on within 10 minutes after having turned it off.
• Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage than what this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see "8. Technical Specifications"):
1. Remove the glass pane's 4 screws on the front and gently remove the pane.
2. Loosen the screws on the left & right connection blocks and disconnect the wires.
3. Remove the old lamp and carefully install a new one, with the wires at the same side as with the old lamp.
4. Connect the wires of the new lamp.
5. Carefully reposition the pane and fasten it with the 4 screws.
Remark: Do not operate the device when the glass pane is off.
b) Fuse
• Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• If the lamp burns out, chances are you will need to replace the fuse as well.
• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see "8. Technical Specifications"):
1. Unscrew the fuse holder with an appropriate screwdriver.
2. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.
3. Replace the fuse holder and fasten it with the screwdriver.
c) Mounting the Device
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.

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 workload 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 50cm radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
