Installation

We recommend one LED coop lighting unit per 2 m2 of surface to be illuminated. Depending on the coop size, a maximum of 3 LED coop lighting units can be connected in series.

Positioning:
The LED coop lighting modules can be connected in series. Just one connection plug is connected to the control unit; further lighting modules are plugged into the presently final module.
Please comply with the cable length (100 cm) when selecting a location. Wherever possible, we recommend that those areas of the coop are illuminated in which the chickens spend time during the day (especially feeding and drinking locations). However, the perches do not have to be illuminated.

Installation steps:

Remove the clipped-on cover of the LED coop lighting unit, and attach the back part to the selected location in the coop, using the attachment set included in the delivery.
a. When laying the surface-mounted connection cables, they can be led in and out through the side of the casing.

b. When laying the connection cables concealed in the wall/ ceiling, the cables can be led in and out towards the inside.

c. Then replace the cover.
If two LED coop lighting modules are to be deployed:
a. Remove the bridging plug from the first lighting mode, and insert the second module into the plug-in location which has become available.

b. Attach the second lighting mode in its selected coop location, using the attachment set included in the delivery. Ensure that the cable length is sufficient.
If a third LED coop lighting module is to be deployed → Proceed as described in 2. A bridging plug must always be plugged into the final module, otherwise the lighting will not work.
Lead the connection cable for the LED coop lighting from below through the cable slot in the rear part of the control unit, and connect it to the intended plug-in location for the module (03 – COOP LIGHTS). Please comply with the information in the operating instructions for the control unit in section 6.3 Installing and Connecting the Modules.

If the connection cable built into the module is not long enough, it can be lengthened using extension cables (items 70629, 70630). Ensure that the connection location is protected from water and dust. The module cable must have only a single extension.

Calibration and configuration

Configure the LED coop lighting. The exact procedure is describe in the operating instructions for the control unit (item 70600) in section 10 Connecting the Modules.

Maintenance and care

The LED coop lighting is maintenance-free. In the event of heavy contamination, the front can be cleaned using a damp cloth.

Disposal

Electrical waste
It is up to the operator to dispose of the device responsibly after its useful life in accordance with local regulations. Consult the relevant regulations for your country. The device must not be disposed of in household waste. Under the terms of the EU Directive on the disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment, the unit can be taken to local authority-run refuse sites or recycling plants free of charge, or returned to dealers who offer a returns service.
