Product Usage Instructions

This underwater floodlight is designed for illuminating ponds, water pools, and water features up to a depth of 20m. It should only be operated underwater and protected against freezing. To avoid damage on the surface of the floodlight, the water must have a neutral pH value and should be free from metal-attacking ingredients. The installation and operation of this luminaire should only be carried out by a qualified electrician, following national safety regulations. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by improper use or installation.

For light planning purposes, luminaire data for the light planning program DIALux and other formats can be found on the BEGA website.

Safety

The installation and operation of this luminaire are subject to national safety regulations.
Installation and commissioning may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by improper use or installation.
If subsequent modifications are made to the luminaire, the person responsible for these modifications shall be considered the manufacturer.

Light technique

Luminaire data for the light planning program DIALux for outdoor lighting, street lighting, and indoor lighting as well as luminaire data in EULUMDAT and IES-format you will find on the BEGA web page www.bega.com.
The details apply to free-burning floodlights.
The lighting intensity is depending on the submerged depth of the floodlight and on the purity of the water.

Important

The luminaire must only be operated with a SELV operating device that meets the requirements of EN 61347-2-13.
The maximum open-circuit voltage of 30 V DC must be SELV or SELV-equivalent.
Alternatively, the connection may be made to safety transformers in compliance with
EN 61558/VDE 0570 Parts 2-6 with an open circuit voltage of < 30 V DC.
The transformer must be approved for this type of installation.

Installation

The floodlight must only be operated underwater

The minimum installation depth of floodlight is 3 cm below water level.
Undo hexagon nuts and remove the floodlight housing from the slotted fixing bracket.
Fix the mounting bracket on the mounting surface using delivered stainless steel screws.
Insert the floodlight housing into the slotted fixing bracket, align, and fix it.
Tighten hexagon nuts firmly and evenly.
Torque = 5 Nm.
A 24 V safety direct voltage source with a smoothed residual ripple of max. 10 % is required for the electrical connection of the luminaire – see accessories.
If other safety direct voltage sources are used, an upstream fuse (max. 6 A) must be provided by the customer.
Make sure that the poles are connected correctly. (otherwise destruction of the DC-converter)
Connect the black conductor with the negative pole and the red conductor with the positive pole of the power supply unit.

Please note

Do not remove the desiccant bag from the luminaire housing.
It is needed to remove residual moisture.

Replacement of the LED module · Maintenance

Disconnect the electrical installation.
Undo hexagon nuts, remove the floodlight housing from the slotted fixing bracket, and lift the floodlight above water level.
Open the floodlight: Undo counter sunk screws.
Lift cover ring and glass with gasket. Remove reflector.
Disassemble the LED module.
Clean the luminaire. – see Cleaning · Maintenance –
It is imperative to replace damaged gaskets and cables.
The lamp compartment must be completely clean and absolutely dry.
Assemble the LED replacement module.
Note the installation instructions for the LED module.
Insert reflector.
Insert glass with gasket into the floodlight housing. Make sure that gasket is positioned correctly.
Apply the cover ring and firmly tighten the countersunk-head screw crosswise.
Torque = 3 Nm.
Insert the floodlight housing into the slotted fixing bracket, align, and fix it.
Tighten hexagon nuts firmly and evenly.
Torque = 5 Nm.
Only correctly positioned gaskets and tight screw cable glands guarantee watertight housing.

Cleaning · Maintenance

Soilings and fouling on the stainless steel parts should be removed frequently. They can be removed with suitable stainless steel cleansers.
For cleaning do not use high-pressure cleaners.
