2. INSTALLATION
A C p o w e r
The Mania SCX500 is supplied set up to match local voltage and frequency settings. The factory setting is shown on the serial number label. It is not possible to reconfigure the Mania SCX500 to accept any other voltage or frequency than those stated on the serial number label.
Warning! For protection from fire and electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power supply must have overload and ground-fault protection.
Check that power cables are undamaged and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices before use.
Check the operating voltage and frequency indicated on the serial number label before applying power. If your Mania SCX500 does not match your local AC power, do not use it.
Important! Do not connect the fixture to a dimmer system.
Installin g a plu g on th e power cable
The power cable must be fitted with a grounding-type (earthed) power plug that matches your power distribution system. Consult a qualified electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation.
If you need to fit a power plug, follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions, connecting the yellow and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to neutral. The table below shows some pin identification schemes:

The Mania SCX500 must be either:
•fastened to a flat surface by means of its adjustable U-bracket,
•fastened to a flat surface by means of its adjustable U-bracket and mounting plate, or
•attached to a rigging clamp by means of its adjustable U-bracket.
Do not install the fixture by any other means, as this can cause the fixture to overheat.
Warning! Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing or servicing the fixture.
Always use a secure means of secondary attachment that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
1.The fixture must be located at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.) away from the surface to be illuminated and at least 0.1 meters (4 in.) from any combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.). Ensure that the clearance around the fan and air vents is at least 0.1 meters (4 in.). Ensure that there are no flammable materials nearby.
2.If using a rigging clamp (not included), ensure that the clamp is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the fixture’s weight. Bolt the clamp securely to the fixture’s mounting bracket with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and lock nut through the 13 mm hole in the center of the mounting bracket, or as recommended by the clamp manufacturer.
3.If fastening the fixture directly to a mounting surface, ensure that any fasteners used and the mounting surface can bear at least 10 times the fixture’s weight. The fixture may be fastened using any of the following:
•four 6.5mm holes in the sides of the U-bracket
•two 8mm holes in the top of the U- bracket
•one 13mm hole in the top of the U-bracket.

5.Install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the
Safety wire attachment point
fixture through/over the support and through a safety wire attachment point next to one of the swivel locks on the fixture (see illustration). Do not simply attach the safety wire to the mounting bracket, as this will leave the fixture unsecured.
