4.1 Suspension by using the steel cable
The cable suspension system provides a neat and simple method of ceiling mounting of Ocean
Light T5 or other suitable lights.
Contents:
The suspension system comprises 2 pcs. of each of the following:
1. ceiling plate with screws and plugs, 2 metre stainless steel cable with stopper
2. light fixing (cable with Y-piece, end bushes and screws)
Mounting:
Fixing on the ceiling
The two ceiling plates (1.1) must be securely screwed to the ceiling by using the screws and plugs.
Suitable screws and plugs are provided but you should ensure your ceiling is capable of holding the
weight of the light in this way. The two suspension points at the ceiling can be marked as follows:
- Ocean Light T5 4 x 39 W
- Ocean Light T5 4 x 54 W
Stainless steel cable: The stainless steel cable is now fed through the retaining bush (1.3) of the
ceiling plate so that the stopper (1.2) is retained inside the ceiling plate. The retaining bush is
screwed onto the ceiling plate allowing the stainless steel cable to hang free.
Fixing of the light
First of all, the outer screws of the end caps of the light are taken off. Now, the loops of the Y-piece
(2.3) are mounted where the screws had been by using the attached longer screws. Then, the
stainless steel cable has to be drawn through the light fixing of the Y-piece. To do so, the cable is
fed through the fixing from the top (2.1.1). It is drawn through the side opening (2.1.2) and then it
has to be pulled until the lamp is in the correct height above the aquarium. As soon as the light is
adjusted in the right position, tighten the safety bolt (2.2) to avoid a canting of the lamp.
Release the fixing:
The light fixing has a non-return mechanism so that the cable can easily be adjusted. To remove
the light or re-ajdust the height, press the adjustment screw (2.1.1). – Caution: Hold the light
tight! Now, the stainless steel cable can be pulled out of the light fixing.
When the light is mounted in the correct position, any surplus cable may be cut off by pliers.
Pay attention to the required minimum distance of 30 cm to the water surface!
