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 opencircuit voltage of < 30 V DC.
The transformer must be approved for this type of installation.

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.

Installation
The floodlight must only be operated under water.
Minimum installation depth of floodlight 3 cm below water level. Undo hexagon nuts and remove floodlight housing from the slotted fixing bracket. Fix 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 black conductor with negative pole and red conductor with positive pole of the power supply unit.

Cleaning · Maintenance

Soilings and foulings 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.
