Mounting the Device
•
Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour without
deforming.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified
technician 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.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered directly off a grounded
switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel
is used solely for 0 % to 100 % switching.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
