4. Installation
a) Lamps
- Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains. Replace any deformed or damaged
lamp.
- Let a lamp cool before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 700°C during operation.
- When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove it.
- Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They generate higher temperatures than the ones this device was
designed for.
- This device requires one 230V/250W MSD GY9.5lamp (code LAMP250MSD) :
1. Loosen the screws at the back of the housing and open the lid.
2. Remove the old lamp if applicable, and insert the new one.
3. Close the lid and fix the screws.
Remark: Do not operate the device when the cover is off.
b) Fuse
- Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.
- If the lamp burns out, chances are you will need to replace the fuse on the rear panel of the base as well.
- Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see "4. Technical Specifications" on p. 4) :
1. Pull out the fuse holder at the back of the base.
2. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.

- Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified
technician check the device before you bring it into service. Have a qualified technician check the entire
installation once a year.
- Install the device in a location where few people pass by and that is unreachable for 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.
