User information

1 User information
These operating instructions only apply for the products
SpotClip-Plate, SpotClip-Caps and SpotClip-Tubes and
are intended for the user. The user must carefully read
and understand the operating instructions before
commissioning the products.
The addresses of the respective HellermannTyton country
representatives are listed at the end of these operating
instructions.

1 .1 Intended use

The SpotClip-Plate was specially developed for
installation in ceiling grids to prevent damage or cracks
to the ceiling tiles caused by the weight of heavy lights.
Sized 592 mm x 592 mm, the SpotClip-Plate is suitable
for ceiling grids with a side length of 600 mm. The most
common light diameters from 75 mm to 314 mm are
pre-punched on the SpotClip-Plate. The 8 stays can
simply be cut using a handsaw.
SpotClip-Plate can be used in combination with the
accessory products, SpotClip-Tubes and SpotClip-Caps,
to maintain a safety distance between the spotlight, the
damp-proof foil and the insulating material. A
combination of SpotClip-Plate and SpotClip-Kit is also
possible for such an application. The three possible
combinations are listed under point 5.4 and permit
sufficient air circulation for proper operation. This
reduces the risk of overheating and fire hazard. It also
increases the service life of the lights.
All SpotClip-Plate solutions can be retrofitted in existing
buildings.
The SpotClip-Plate and SpotClip-Caps products are made
of a non-flammable, heat-stabilised polyamide. The
SpotClip-Tube products are made of flexible
polyvinylchloride (PVC).
The products must only be used for the purpose
described in these operating instructions. The products
may only be used if they are in a technically perfect
condition, as intended, with full awareness of the safety
aspects and hazards, and in compliance with the
operating instructions.
There is no information concerning the SpotClip-Kit in these
operating instructions. For more extensive information in this
regard, refer to the SpotClip-Kit operating instructions.

1 .2 Fire protection properties

SpotClip-Plate and SpotClip-Caps satisfy the
requirements stipulated in UL94 V2 at 1.5 mm wall
thickness. The two products have been tested in
accordance with the filament test (GWT) at 960 °C as
specified in the standards EN 60598-1 and
EN 60598-2-2. The SpotClip-Tubes material is flame-
retardant and self-extinguishing. EN 13501-1 A2 s1 d0
applies for the insulating materials and damp-proof foils
or vapour barriers. Use only insulating materials and
damp-proof foils or vapour barriers of low flammability,
which do not emit smoke in the case of fire and do not
drip.
