General product application requirements (if applicable) :

1. CCT or POWER selections (where supplied) – IMPORTANT, where CCT colour temperature or POWER selection switching is provided, it is important to switch OFF the power before the selection is made, otherwise equipment damage may occur.

2. Recycling – SAL encourages recycling, please consider the environment when disposing of packaging, batteries & components.

3. Switching or test intervals – For optimum product performance, good design practice does not encourage 24/7 operation of lighting products without the provision of a routine switching or regulatory test cycle. As a guide for continual operation installations, a twelve (12) hour duration for Industrial and Commercial applications and a six (6) hour duration for Residential applications should be considered.

4. Product maintenance – In line with the relevant design standards and to protect your investment, it is important to have in place a routine cleaning program that reflects the installation environment and maintains the product in a clean and functional condition.
   IMPORTANT – The supply must be isolated before any product maintenance or cleaning is conducted. In addition, damage to ANY cable or cord supplied with the product must be addressed as follows; For attachment type X having a specially prepared cable, if the external flexible cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an equivalent cable exclusively available from the manufacturer or authorised installer. For attachment type Y, if the external flexible cable is damaged, it must be exclusively replaced by an equivalent cable by the manufacturer or authorised installer. For attachment type Z, if the external flexible cable is damaged, the cable cannot be replaced and the luminaire must be destroyed.

5. Adverse, corrosive and coastal installation environments – Unless the product is specifically designated for such applications in these installation instructions, which is supported by a professional maintenance program; installation of equipment in such environments is not recommended.

6. Dimming products – Dimming circuits and product compatibility must be validated by the installer before installation; SAL cannot be responsible for third party changes in dimmer compatibility.

7. Suspended products – For installation safety, any suspended products must NOT be installed in high air movement spaces or locations subject to impact.

Interior downlights and sensors with remote drivers and electrical accessories – The mounting facilities provided for the transformer/driver (if any), need only be utilized if in the application of the product is required by AS3000. Drivers are not designed for installation environments that restrict conventional airflow.

10. Floodlight products – Unless nominated aiming restrictions or installation parameters apply, products are designed for installation environments between ground and 15 metres in height, subject to the desired optical performance being achieved. For floodlight installation environments that have restricted access (eg: columns and roof-lines) which are subject to unstable electrical supply or electrical surges (which void warranty), consideration of the installation of an independent surge protector is strongly recommended.

11. Emergency enabled products – In the interest of transport and safety, emergency products are supplied with the battery disconnected. In addition to specific emergency commissioning instructions, this battery MUST be connected at the time of installation. Continual use in emergency mode greater than 240 hours without recharge, will result in battery failure and void battery warranty.
