Installation

Only stainless steel tools may be used for installation and maintenance work. The connection must be established on site with the correct protection class and safety class for the luminaire. The power supply unit may only be operated outside the water.
As maintenance work is carried out above the water level, make sure the cable is long enough.

Open the luminaire: Undo the screws and pull the luminaire housing out of the recessed housing. Loosen the countersunk screws and remove the flange ring from the recessed housing with both gaskets. A safety direct voltage source with a 24 V 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.

Terminal +: Cable wire red
Terminal +: Cable wire black

Installation in concrete pools:

The recessed housing is poured when constructing the pool.
Calibrate the recessed housing on the formwork and secure it in place so that the cable entry is positioned on top.
Avoid contact with low-alloy or unalloyed steels.
Install the PVC protective hose provided by the customer, ø 20 x 3 mm (BEGA article number 62000250) onto the recessed housing using the enclosed hose clip until it is water-tight.
Route the PVC house on-site in such a way that the connecting cable can be inserted and the pool will not drain on its own.
If necessary, seal the PVC hose with an additional PG screw gland (BEGA article number 750215V)
