GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the most innovative and

reliable lighting fixtures on the market today! This fixture has been designed to

perform reliably for years when the guidelines in this booklet are followed. Please

read and understand the instructions in this manual carefully and thoroughly

before attempting to operate this unit. These instructions contain important

information regarding safety during use and maintenance.

IP65 RATED

An IP rated lighting fixture is one, which is commonly installed in outdoor
environments and has been designed with an enclosure that effectively protects
the ingress (entry) of external foreign objects such as dust and water. The
International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as "IP" (Ingress
Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where the numbers define the
degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the
extent of protection against particles entering the fixture and the second digit
(Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the
fixture. An IP65 rated lighting fixture is one, which has been designed and tested
to protect against the ingress of dust (6) and high-pressure water jets from any
direction (5).

MARINE/COASTAL ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS!

Please note although this fixture is IP rated, the fixture is NOT suitable for marine
and/or coastal environment installations. Installing this fixture in a marine and/or
coastal environment may cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior
and/or exterior components of the fixture. Damages and/or performance
issues resulting from installation in a marine and/or coastal environment will void
the manufactures warranty and will NOT be subject to any warranty claims
and/or repairs.

Ensure ALL connections and end caps are properly sealed with a

non-conductive dielectric grease (available at most electrical suppliers) to

prevent water ingress/condensation and/or corrosion.

OPTIONAL CORROSION- RESISTANT COATING

Optional Corrosion-Resistant Coatings may be available for this fixture.
Please consult your Elation Professional sales representative for details.
