Installation
Installation in Concrete Ceilings
For concrete ceilings, it is recommended to use the installation housing 13618 to accommodate the luminaire and the external power supply unit.
Installation in Suspended Ceilings
A recessed opening of 68mm diameter is required, with a minimum depth of 105mm. The external power supply unit requires a minimum clearance of 105mm above the ceiling.
Wiring Instructions
- Undo the screw and lift the cover off the connection housing.
- Pass the power connecting cable through the screw cable gland.
- Make the electrical connection. If a protective earth conductor is included, connect it to the terminal marked “E”.
- For through-wiring, replace the factory-installed dummy plug with the enclosed sealing ring.
- Tighten the screw cable glands securely and refit the cover.
- Slide the external power supply unit into the ceiling opening.
- Press the luminaire housing against the spring pressure into the installation opening.
