the specific mounting, through the
hole in the bracket (1).
It is recommended to use a screw
ø10mm with nut and spring washer.

• Mains power connection

The projector has to be hooked up to the electricity mains via a safety transformer in
conformity with current regulations. The power cable (23) of the light needs to be
connected in parallel to the secondary winding (24V) of the transformer, with the aid
of a specific terminal block.

CAUTION:Never connect two or more projectors in series.

• Connecting power cable

The appliance is normally supplied with a 60 cm long power cable which can be
used to connect the appliance to the 24 V ac electrical power line.If a longer cable is
required for installation, you can remove the standard cable and connect a longer
one following the instructions given below.

IMPORTANT: Use cable with two wires and minimum cross-section 1,5 mm

.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, take out the two screws (17) and remove the power
panel (18).
Insert the power cable into the cable gland (19) and prepare it by cutting
approximately 50 mm of outer sheath and paring the wires (20) by approximately
5 mm.
Insert the wires (20) into the housings in the terminal (21) and tighten the screws of
this terminal adequately, taking care these screws press on the conductor and not on
the insulation.
Tighten the screw (22) of the cable gland (19) adequately, taking care that the screw
acts on the outer sheath and not on the wires (20).

• Switching on the projector

After carrying out all the above operations, power the system, checking the projector
works properly.
