The manufacturer is not responsible in any circumstances for assembly, installation or start-up of any electric
components which have been inserted or handied at locations other than its own premises.
3. INSTALLATION:
•
Never install in vertical positlon with the lamp facing downwards,
•
In order to clearly light a pool it is recommended lo install a 300W floodlamp every 25 or 35 m² of water surface.
In swimming pools which are especially deep, a 300 W floodlamp is required for every 30 or 40 m³ of water
volume.
•
In order to prevent glare, the floodlamps should be installed so that they face away from the residence or usual
view of the swimming pool.
•
In the event that lighting is used in training or competition pools, the floodlamps should be installed on the sides
to prevent glare on the swimmers.
•
To avoid the need to empty the pool to change the lamp, we recommend that the floodlamp be installed in areas
which are accessible from the upper edge of the pool.
Prior to installation verify that the gland seal (no. 19) has been fully tightened.
The floodlamp should be placed on the wall of the pool at approximately 400-700 mm from the water surface (Fig.
1).
The method of fastening the housing to the pool wall varies depending on whether it is a floodlamp for concrete
pools or prefabricated pools.
Concrete swimming pool
To install a floodlamp in a concrete swimming pool the housing (no. 17) should be fixed in the wall of the
swimming pool (Fig. 2). Make sure that the cable outlet of the housing remains on the upper part.
Prefabricated swimming pool
To install a fioodlamp in prefabricated swimming pool make a circular hole with a diameter of 240 mm (Fig. 2).
