For safety reasons, it is necessary to read these instructions before starting the assembly. The instructions should be kept for future purposes. The tting being the
subject of these instructions must be used according to its original purpose. Fittings can be installed only by persons who are trained and duly authorized to do so.
1. The Producer has the exclusive right to introduce modications to the product.
2. During the assembly of the ttings it is necessary to use the disposable gloves enclosed in the packaging.
3. The Producer shall not be held liable for the following:
- damages which occur after the product has been modied by a user,
- damages to the productresulting from installation not carried out in compliance with the instruction for assembly,
installation by unauthorized persons or damages resulting from unsuitable storage,
- the product getting dirty during assembly if the person carrying out the assembly does not wear disposable gloves.
4. While mounting luminaries stiness and carrying capacity provided by ceiling manufacturers have to be taken into
consideration. (Concentrated and Unformly Distributed Load)
Notice: Ceiling-type ttings must not be covered with an insulating mat
Maintenance
During the exploitation period of lighting it is necessary to inspect the ttings in order to detect malfunctions and mechanical damages, as well as impurities, in
particular those of elements in the optical system.
1. Before proceeding to the inspection of a tting, the power supply must be turned o.
2. Elements of the tting which get used up or damaged in the course of standard exploitation must immediately be replaced with new and defect-free elements.
The ttings do not pose any threats to the safety of humans or property , provided that they are properly installed, maintained and used in compliance with their original
purpose.
Cleaning Instructions
There are several ways to clean acrylic or polycarbonate optical components
1. For normal cleaning of loose dirt and dust, use an anti-static wipe cloth.
2. Use a clean, lint-free cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with warm water and let air dry or blow dry with a clean (preferably destaticized) air supply. This will work to
remove ngerprints.
3. To clean excessive dirt or caked on dirt, please use ultrasonic cleaning. This requires specialized equipment and is most useful when cleaning a large quantity of compo-
nents.
4. You can use most products that are designed to be used for cleaning glass windows or acrylic bathtubs.
DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS:
1) Acrylic polishes
2) Any products which contain the chemicals Methanol, Isopropyl, Acetone or MEK
Usage Instructions
1. Optical components should be handled with the same care as highly polished aluminum reectors.
2. Handling using clean cotton gloves.
3. Please note the following issues when installing optical components during building construction.
a. Use the same precautions you would use for glass or aluminum reectors.
i. You may see a surface accumulation of concrete/drywall dust, atomized oor waxes and oor sealants.
ii. If left exposed to construction debris or high levels of dirt and dust, deposits will accumulate on the surfaces. Clean the component according to the Cleaning Instructions
above.
iii. Paint is not easily removed from any prismatic surface (glass or plastic). Reexors, and other optical injection molded components, are not resistant to spray paints.
iv. It is recommended that you clean the parts after short term exposure to high concentrations of these materials
v. It is recommended that you clean the Reexors after the general construction site clean up is completed.
WHERE NOT TO INSTALL AN ACRYLIC OR POLYCARBONATE OPTICAL COMPONENT:
a. Environments in which oils or oily dirt will condense on the surface.
i. This is a problem with all optical components, including glass. Oil wets the optical surface and changes the designed optical properties of the surface. This is especially true
for prismatic surfaces.
b. Environments in which chlorinated hydrocarbons, chlorinated alcohol or acids can condense on the surface (such as cutting oils used in machine shops). Acrylic or poly-
carbonate may be attacked by these chemicals resulting in stress cracking and/or discoloration.
c. In applications so hot that the maximum operating temperature on the component exceeds the recommended maximum use temperature of the material.
The use of lighting ttings produced by SPECTRA LIGHTING SP. Z O.O.
Lighting ttings produced by SPECTRA LIGHTING SP. Z O.O. are aimed for use in standard conditions, with the exception of special-purpose ttings. Standard conditions are
featured by ambient temperature of -10°C +40°C, pressure of 960-1020 hPa, and humidity of 20 - 80%. Such conditions prevail on the European territory.
The ttings should not be used, if the environmental conditions could harm the structure of a tting, top coats or electron-
ic component partsplaced inside the tting, causing malfunction of the tting. The risks factors include i.a. high temperature,
excessive humidity, dustiness, the presence of chemically signicant substances in the atmosphere (chlorine, salt, acids,
alkali), vibrations, shock, exposure to shock, UV radiation, electromagnetic elds. The ttings must be used according to their original purpose.They must be installed accord-
ing to the installation instructions, solely by persons authorized to do so.
