IP rating information
IP Rating:
The IP (International Protection) rating classies and rates the degree of protection
provided against intrusion of foreign objects such as dust and water into housings
and electrical enclosures.
The rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits (i.e. IP54) where the numbers
dene the level of protection. The rst digit (solids) stands for the level of protection the
enclosure provides against solid bodies, whilst the second digit (liquids) stands for the
degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against water.
An IP54 rated xture is one which has been designed and tested to protect from limited
dust ingress (5) and water spray from any direction (4).
Marine/Coastal Installations:
Although this xture has an IP rating it is NOT suitable for installation in a coastal/
marine environment. Installing this xture in a coastal/marine environment could cause
corrosion and excessive wear to the internal and/or external components. Any damages,
faults or performance issues resulting from the installation in one of the environments
listed above will void the manufacturers warranty and will NOT be subject to any
warranty claims, parts or repairs.
Please ENSURE all connections are sealed with the rubber caps if provided and the
correct cables are used and connected correctly to prevent dust and/or water ingress,
condensation and/or corrosion.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
If this xture is installed in extreme outdoor and/or wet conditions, it MUST be powered
ON and operated for a minimum of 30 minutes every 1-2 weeks. Excessive usage in
extreme outdoor and/or wet conditions without a consistent usage cycle as described
above can lead to component damage and/or a reduced xture lifetime. Any damage to
the xture found to be a direct result of not following the above guidelines will void the
manufacturers warranty and will NOT be subject to any warranty claims, parts or repairs.
