SAFETY MESSAGES
Disregard of the safety messages may lead to danger of life, burning or
fire!
• Installation, mounting or works on the electrical connection may only be
carried out by an approved electrician.
• The product may not be modified or converted.
• Do not hang or fasten anything on the product, especially no decoration.
• Do not cover the product - provide free air circulation.
• Do not direct the spots on the track or the transformer.
• In case of a malfunction you may NOT touch the product or operate it
further. Disconnect the product from the power supply by an external
switch or by the fuse.
A malfunction exists when:
• visible damages appear.
• the product does not work properly (e.g. flickering).
• smoke, steam or crackling sounds appear.
• smell of burning is recognisable.
• an overheating is recognisable (e.g. by discolouration of adjacent
surfaces).
Operate the product only after maintenance and examination by an
approved electrician!
• This product is not intended to be used by children. Ensure that children do
not suffer any harm e.g. by burns from hot surfaces or by electrical shock.
Additional safety messages are indicated by this symbol:
USE AS DIRECTED
This product serves exclusively lighting purposes and may:
• may only be operated on the corresponding rail system.
• only be used with a voltage of 230V ~50Hz.
• only be installed according to safety class II (two).
• only be operated when firmly mounted on a stable, even and tilt-fixed
surface.
• may be operated on surfaces with unknown combustibility.
• only be used in dry condition,
• not in damp or dirt-endangered rooms.
• not in areas of high air humidity.
• not be exposed to strong mechanical loads or to strong contamination.
OPERATION
• The transformer is surge-voltage-stable up to values above those
prescribed by the respective standards. As a protection against high
voltage surges, as they occur e.g. when switching fluorescent lamps and
discharge lamps with an inductive ballast, motors (fans, etc.) and other
inductive charges, the load circuits for devices of this kind are to be
clearly separated from each.
• Safety function: In case of a short circuit or overload the electronic
transformer will automatically cut off. It does not have a protection of the
conventional kind. Thus the load circuit is not separated! As soon as the
defect has been repaired, the transformer will automatically cut back in.
• Excess Temperature (110° C): In case of excess temperature through
external heat sources the power will be controlled back. As soon as the
transformer has cooled off, it will automatically cut back in.
• Dimming: Use only a suitable phase cut-off dimmer suitable for use with
electronic converters (e.g. art.-no. 410130). For dimming operation the
minimum load on the converter should be 50% of its nominal load. Note the
manufacturers instructions.
• Soft-Start function: When started the voltage will be increased until the
nominal voltage is reached. This function reduces stress on the bulb.
High currents with low-voltage installations! Check all electrical connections
once in a while for a secure fit.
MAINTANANCE AND CARE
Care
Disconnect the product from the power supply and let it cool down, before
you clean the product.
• Clean the product on a regular basis using a slightly moistened, soft and fluff-
free cloth. Please also note additional supplied notes on maintanance and
care.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Storage
• The product must be stored in a dry and clean environment. Do not strain
the product mechanically during storage.
After a damp or soiling storage the product may only be installed after
checking its condition by an approved electrician.
Disposal (European Union)
• Do not dispose the product with the regular household waste! Products
marked with this sign must be disposed according to the directive(WEEE,
2003/108) on electrical and electronic devices at local collection points for
such devices!
.
INSTALLATION
(only by an approved electrician)
Preparing the low-voltage (12V) power supply: The transformer should be used
up to 80% of its capacity. The total watt power of the connected luminaires must
not exceed the power output of the transformer. The distance between luminaire
and transformer should be at least 20 cm. The maximum length of the rail must
not exceed 2m (Electromagnetic Emission).
Switch off the mains or respectively the connection lead before doing any
works!
High currents with low-voltage installations! Use only heat resistant wires
and clamps to avoid danger of fire. Check all electrical connections for a secure
fit.
Use only parts, which are supplied with the product or are described as
accessories!
Inspect the product for loose parts inside the housing. When there are loose
parts inside the housing and these are not explicitly described the product may
not be installed or operated.
Use the supplied fastening material only when it is suited for the installation
background. If this is not the case use only fastening material suiting the
installation background.
Unpacking
• Carefully take the product out of the packaging removing any transport
safeguards.
• Before disposal of the packaging material make sure that all components of
the product are removed.
Installation place
• The product is solely suited for installation on the wall and ceiling.
Operate the product only on an even, stable and tilt-fixed background.
• Operate the product only in an area with sufficient ventilation. Operation in
excess ambient temperature or through external heating will reduce the
service life. During the installation process (particularly into luminaires),
heat dissipation (heat transfer) is to be provided through suitable
measures. The ambient temperature ta (50° C) and/or the tc-point
temperature (85°C) may not be exceeded at any time.
Installation steps (read completely before installation)
• Assemble the product as shown in the figure.
• Electrical Connection
• Remove the cover on top of the connection clamp.
• The product must be able to be separated by an all pole separation
from the current supply.
• For electric connection attach the black or brown wire (live conductor)
and the blue wire (neutral conductor) of the mains supply with the
230V (PRI ~) clamp of the transformer.
• Attach the cover back on the connection clamp.
