which it is not intended or if it is used incorrectly.
WARNING!
When planning a lighting system using an LP-STAR
system check in advance whether the planned electrical
installations are sufficient for the application environment .
Special environmental requirements (e . g . potentially
explosive atmospheres or areas with aggressive
atmospheres) require special set-ups and installations .
Only use the equipment and the associated component
parts in a technically faultless condition, taking into account
• the safety and hazard information in the assembly and
operating instructions,
• the operating and safety instructions for the operator of

• the installation and operating data set out under
"3 Technical data" and the CEAG catalogue "Emergency
lighting and emergency lighting systems" .
Faults that could inhibit the functioning or safety of the
equipment must be reported to the relevant management
units immediately and must be rectified (within two weeks
