• Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).

• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks, lamp
explosion, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
4. Installation
a) Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 700°C during operation.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage than that for which this device was designed.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see “Technical Specifications”):
1. Unscrew the screw at the top holding the vented lid and gently remove the lid.
2. Remove the old lamp and insert the new one.
3. Carefully reposition the lid and fasten the screw.
Remark: Do not operate the device when the cover is open.
b) Mounting the Device
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for
one hour without deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.

check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation
material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the
device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
