12 MAC Viper Profile Safety and Installation Guide
Connecting to an AC mains power source
The MAC Viper Profile power cable can be hard-wired to a building installation circuit or fitted with a cord
cap (mains plug) to allow connection to local AC mains power outlets. If you install a cord cap (mains plug),
install a grounding-type (earthed) plug, following the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows some
possible mains power pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any
doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
Applying power
See Figure 7. To apply power to
the MAC Viper Profile, check that
the tilt lock is released, that the
base is held securely, and that
personal safety will not be put at
risk when the lamp strikes and the
fixture moves, then set the power
on/off switch B to I (On).
Check that the mains power on/off
switch B is set to O (Off) before
inserting or removing the power
input connector at the input
socket A, otherwise you may
cause arcing at connector
terminals that can damage them.
Shutting down power
For optimum lamp life, wait at
least 5 minutes after striking a
discharge lamp before dousing
the lamp.
It is also good practise to douse the lamp a few minutes before shutting down power. This gives the fans
time to cool the fixture down.
