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 75W floodlamp
every 10 or 15 m² of water surface.
In swimming pools which are especially deep, a 75 W floodlamp is
required for every 12 or 16 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 has been fully tightened.
The floodlamp should be placed on the wall of the pool at approximately 700
mm from the water surface(Fig.1).
