Important notice
Our transformers are 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
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. SLV – 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.
3. Installation
The electric connection may be executed only by an electric expert
who is familiar with the valid directives!
Caution: Switch off the power of the mains supply line or
respectively of the connection lead before doing any works
. Use only
parts, which are supplied with the product or are described as accessories!
Otherwise the product or the installation might not be sufficiently safe.
Installation place:
The product is suited for ceiling installation.
Make sure that the product is mounted on a stable, even and tilt-fixed
background.
Separate Installation Steps
 Remove the mounting bracket by loosening the two screws.
 Determine the place of installation and mark the holes to be drilled. Note
that the cable outlet of the mains supply corresponds with the cable inlet
of the fixture. Do not damage the power supply line, e.g. by drilling,
screws or strong bending.
 Fasten the mounting bracket to the mounting surface.
 Electrical Connection
 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 mains supply with the clamp L and the blue wire (neutral
conductor) of the mains supply with the clamp N. The green-yellow
wire (protective conductor) of the mains supply has to be tightly
screwed into the earth clamp
of the product.
 Now attach the housing on the mounting bracket.
 Inserting the rail
 The maximum length of the rail must not exceed 2m.
 When the rail is supposed to jut out more than 75 cm the ceiling
support, art.-no. 136246/138246, must be applied.
 Direct the rail jnto the openings.
 Fasten the headless screws tightly to ensure a safe electrical contact.
 Ensure that the installation holds securely!
 The product is now ready for operation.
4. Operation
:

High currents with low-voltage installations! Check all electrical
connections once in a while for a secure fit. Otherwise there is risk
of fire.
Information for the user:
Operate the product only if it is working correctly. Switch off the product
with a malfunction immediately and operate it again only after examination
by an electrical specialist. This is the case, when:
 visible damages appear.
 the product does not work.
 smoke, steam or crackling sounds appear.
 an overheating is recognisable.
Repairs of the product or work on mains voltage-prominent sections may
only be carried out by qualified electricians.
Warning: Here exists mortal danger from an electric shock!
How to avoid failure and fire risk:
 Do not cover the product - provide free air circulation!
 Do not hang or fasten anything on the product, especially no decoration.
Never let children play unsupervised with electric products! Children
can not always estimate dangers in dealing with electric energy correctly.
What is to do if a bulb is defect or does not work?
 Disconnect the product from power, before you exchange the bulbs.

Caution: Let the bulb cool down first before replacement – otherwise
considerable risk of injury exists because of the hot surface.
 Replace the bulbs only with bulbs of the same data like socket, power
and capacity. Every other sort of bulb can lead to damages of the light.
 Replacing the bulb: see Installation.
5. What else has to be considered?
Disconnect the product from power, before you…
 clean or maintain the product.
 do any works on the product or its components (electric expert).
