• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open any part of the device. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
• Only connect the device to a properly installed mains outlet. The outlet must be protected by a residual current breaker (RCD). The voltage and frequency must exactly be the same as stated on the device. If the mains cable is equipped with earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective ground. Never defeat the protective ground of a mains cable. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
• The main outlet must be easily accessible so that you can unplug the device quickly if need be.
• Never touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands. There is the risk of potentially fatal electric shock.

INSTALLING/REPLACING THE ILLUMINANT

DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages
Within the device, there are areas where high voltages may be present. Always disconnect the device from the main socket prior to installing or replacing a lamp.
WARNING! Risk of burns at the surface and in case of inappropriate handling of the illuminant
The device and the illuminant can become very hot during operation. Let the device cool down for at least 5 minutes before replacing the illuminant.

The device is supplied without illuminant. The matching illuminant types are indicated in the “Accessories” section. Do not install illuminants with a higher wattage! Illuminants with a higher wattage generate temperatures the device was not designed for. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to a warranty. Observe the safety instructions of the illuminant manufacturer.

1. Unscrew the locking screws (4) and remove the housing cover (5) in which the lamp holder is located.
2. If necessary, remove the old illuminant from the socket and carefully insert the new illuminant. Avoid touching the glass blub bare-handed.
3. Reassemble the housing parts and screw them tightly with the locking screws (4).

CAUTION!
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat!

During the installation do not touch the glass bulbs bare-handed! Please follow the lamp manufacturer’s notes!
For the installation, you need one mirror reflector MR-16 12 V GX-5.3 lamp with up to max. 50 W. LED lamps are recommended.
Please be advised, that for proper use an appropriate safety transformer for 12 V reflector lamps is necessary.
**** Do not operate this device with opened housing cover!

CONNECTION WITH THE MAINS
DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages
The connection of the spotlight to the 230 V mains must only be made by qualified, specialized personnel. Inexpert handling of the unit may cause an electric shock hazard.

In order to connect the device to the mains, you have to first install an appropriate transformer with a 12 V / at least 60 VA output (per PAR-16 spot).
Connect the device to the mains with the transformer.

INSTALLATION

WARNING! Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure that the device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by a specialist who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.

This product is designed to be mounted on a floor, wall, or ceiling. Depending on the surface, suitable screws and dowels must be used. Make sure that the product cannot fall down.
Alternatively, the device may be fastened to a truss or similar rigging structure. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

1. The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.
2. Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.
3. Use rigging hardware that is compatible with the structure and capable of bearing the weight of the device. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of suitable rigging hardware.
4. Secure the device with a safety bond or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment must be sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. Use the hole in the bracket for fixation of the safety bond and fasten it in such a way that, in the event of a fall, the maximum drop distance of the device will not exceed 20 cm.
5. To align the device, release the fixation screws at the mounting bracket, adjust the desired inclination angle and retighten the fixation screws.
6. After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot, deformation, and looseness.
