GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the most innovative and reliable lighting
fixtures on the market today! The LEVEL Q7 IP™ 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 such as the LEVEL Q7 IP™ 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).
