SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• This product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with
the current editions of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671) and Buildings
Regulations. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• To prevent electrocution, do not work on any appliance live. Turn off the
mains supply before commencing work.
• If an earth cable is present in the installation it
must always be connected to
the product and/or mounting box earth terminal.
• To prevent fire hazard do not exceed the rated current.
• To ensure the ceiling rose built in cable restraint grips the cable from the
lamp holder sufficiently, use only two core circular cable as specified in the
installation instructions.
• A separate instruction leaflet (44960 PL) is available for Lamp holders, if
required, please request a copy from the address given at the end of this
leaflet.
• Product and packaging should be disposed of via standard refuse facilities
at the end of their life.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. When securing the product to the wall or ceiling, be sure
to avoid any existing pipe work or wiring.
2. When fitted correctly, using specified cable and screw size,
the ceiling rose is designed to suspend fittings with a
maximum weight of 3Kg.
3. If replacing an existing unit, always take careful note of the
cables and terminal descriptions before removing. This
should make it far easier to wire the new product.
4. Take care to select the supply cables with the right sleeve
colour code for each terminal.
5. Please note; the colour codes used in the UK prior to April
2004 are as follows: -
RED = LOAD terminal marked ‘L’
BLACK = LOAD terminal marked ‘N’
GREEN/ YELLOW = LOAD terminal marked ‘ ’
In all other areas of the EU, as well as new build installations in
the UK after April 2004, the colour codes used are:-
BROWN = LOAD terminal marked ‘L’
BLUE = LOAD terminal marked ‘N’
GREEN/YELLOW = LOAD terminal marked ‘ ’
The first colour indicated in the following illustrations will
be that used prior to April 2004. The second colour, shown
in brackets, is the colour used after April 2004.
6. A halo is available separately to give a professional finish
by covering damaged plasterwork. The MK Halo part
number is 1163 WHI. See the installation instructions for
the Ceiling Rose and Batten Lamp Holder below to see
how it is used.
INSTALLING THE CEILING ROSE
1.
Please read the Safety Instructions and Installation Guide
before starting the installation.
2. Remove the shade ring and unscrew the rose cover.
3.
Part of the cable entry area of the base moulding is already
removed and is suitable for many installations. If however,
greater wiring capacity is required, remove the rest of the
knockout area as indicated in Figure 1.
4.
Carefully strip back the outer sheath of the supply cable to
expose approximately 50mm of the inner cables.
5. Carefully strip the inner cable insulation to expose
10mm of the conductor.
6.
Feed the supply cable(s) through the base cutout.
7. Ensure the base of the rose is level and securely fixed to
the ceiling or wall using two countersunk No. 8 wood
screws as shown in
Figure 2. Take account of the comments
made in the Installation Guide above, to ensure a safe
installation.
8. Coloured sleeves are provided for use as follows: -The Red
or Brown sleeve should be placed over the live or
switched live cable for identification purposes where the
cable used is black, as shown in Figures 3a & 3b.
Green/Yellow sleeve
should be placed over the bare
earth wire for insulation and identification purposes.
9. Figure 3a & 3b show typical wiring diagrams for
conventional lighting circuits. 3a having a looping
requirement, 3b when using junction boxes for
termination when looping is not required.
10. Ensure each cable is connected to the appropriate terminal,
as shown in the typical diagrams - Figures 3a or 3b.
11.
When an earth cable is installed, ensure it is connected to
the terminal on the base of the rose.
If the purchase has been a Ceiling Rose rather than a
complete pendent set, then a lamp holder and cable will have
to be fitted. To do this, proceed as follows.
12.
For pendent sets, use heat resisting PVC insulated and
sheathed fl
exible 0.75 mm
2
, 2 core circular cable
complying with BS6141 between the Ceiling Rose and
lamp holder.
13.
Strip back the outer sheath of the supply cable to expose
approximately 100mm of the inner conductors.
14.Carefully strip the inner cable insulation to expose 10mm
of wire. If using an existing cable with soldered ends. they
should he trimmed back and re-stripped to expose new
clean conductor. On no account should soldered ends
enter the terminals.

15.If using a pre-assembled pendent cable and lamp holder,
thread the pendent cable through the Ceiling Rose cover
and allow it to rest on the lamp holder.
16.If a Halo is to be used with the Ceiling Rose, it should be
passed over the cable at this stage and let rest on the
Ceiling Rose cover.
17.Make the connections from the lamp holder to the rose as
shown in
Figures 3a & 3b and tighten the terminal screws
securely. Note; the colour codes of these cables will be
brown and blue in all cases.
18.Wrap the two cables around the restraints as shown in
Figure 4. It is very important this is done correctly so as to
support the lamp fitting.
19.Slide the cover, and halo if used, up the pendent cable
and screw the cover onto the base until secure against the
ceiling. See
Figure 5.

INSTALLING A BATTEN LAMP HOLDER
1. Remove the shade ring.
2. Unscrew the batten holder cover.
3. Unclip the lamp holder from its seating in the base.
4. The wiring of the batten lamp holder is the same as for the
ceiling rose, please refer to paragraphs 2 to 10 inclusive,
of the ceiling rose instructions above.
5. Make the connections to the lamp holder as shown in
Figures 3a & 3b and tighten terminal screws securely.
6.
Clip the lamp holder back into the base.
7. If a Halo is to be used, offer it over the batten holder,
before replacing the cover and shade ring.
