Safety Cautions; Installation Place - PROLED FLEX STRIP EXTENDED 700 User Manual

3. Safety cautions

•
Installation only according to local specifications
•
Installation only by professional staff
•
Use only Class 2 power supplies
•
Power supply must have correct voltage. Voltage must correspond to voltage listed on Flex Strip
•
Use only cables which are specified for more than 80°C
•
Use correct dimension of cables. Wrong cables can lead to overheat and eventually result in fire. Cable must
be approved for the existing voltage and current
•
Use the Flex Strip only at an ambient temperature of -10 – 45°C

4. Installation place

1. Do not install the Flex Strip in an overheated ambient, for example near a radiator, or in a bad cooling
surrounding.
2. Do not use the Flex Strip in an aggressive surrounding, for example containing sulfur, chlorid, brom etc.
a. Gas vapour can diffuse through the silicon cover and react with the LED surface. Due to this, the light
output will be significant lower and a temperature shift can't be avoided. Further more the resistance will
rise, which result in higher current.
b. Organic materials, which contains N, P, S.
Heavy metals like Sn, PB, Hg, Sb, Bi, As etc.
5. Installation
•
Check the correct function of the Flex Strip, but in unrolled shape, before fixing it. Complains after installation
can not be accepted.
•
Switch off the mains supply and secure it against switching on.
•
Please check if the correct units will be installed, this means that the power supply must have same voltage
like the connected Flex Strip.
•
Please check if the power supply has enough power, for example to compensate power loss due to long
cables and if the correct cables are used to minimize voltage loss. It is suggested that the power supply has ca.
20% more power than the connected load.
•
When connecting the cables, please take care about the polarity.
•
Adhesive surface must be non-conductive. It is recommended to stick the Flex Strips into anodized aluminium
profiles.
•
Flex Strip can only be bend sharply at areas with no electronical components. The minimum bending radius is
2 cm. Flex Strip is not allowed to be twisted.
