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 transformer.
• To prevent damages from condensed water the transformer needs to be
acclimatised to room temperature before operation.
• 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:
FUNCTION OF THE TRANSFORMER
• The transformer is a short-circuit proof safety isolating transformer and
transforms the mains voltage of 230V to extra low voltage of 12V.
USE AS DIRECTED
This product serves exclusively lighting purposes and may:
• only be used with a voltage of 230V ~50Hz.
• only be installed according to safety class I (one).
• only be operated when firmly mounted on a stable, even and tilt-fixed
surface.
• only be operated on normally or not flammable surfaces.
• 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
High currents with low-voltage installations! Check all electrical connections
once in a while for a secure fit.
• The transformer is equipped with a thermo switch, which disconnects the
mains. After eliminating the fault and a prolonged disconnection from the
mains the transformer is operable again.
• The transformer is equipped with a fuse on the primary side. The fuse is
exchangable after an overload. Note the specification of the fuse.
MAINTENANCE 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,
2012/19) 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
luminaires and transformer should be at least 20 cm.
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.
Installation steps (read completely before installation)
• Assemble the product as shown in the figure.
• Electrical Connection
• Remove the protection sleeve from the connection clamp.
• The product must be able to be separated by an all pole separation
from the current supply.
• Equip the three wire ends with protective tubes.
• For electric connection attach the black or brown wire (live conductor)
of the connection lead with the clamp L and the blue wire (neutral
conductor) of the connection lead with the clamp N. The green-yellow
wire (protective conductor) of the connection lead has to be tightly
connected with the earth clamp
of the product.
• Cover the connection clamp with the protection sleeve.
• Connect the secondary line to the transformer. Ensure a safe electrical
contact.
Check if the product functions properly and is securely fixed!
