Vision E-line solus VS220 Instruction Manual page 2

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – AMBIENT LIGHT KIT
This appliance can be used with an LED mood lighting kit approved by Vision Fires
– The Solus Ambient Light Kit (available from your retailer). Other, non-approved
LED light kits must not be used as they may damage the appliance and invalidate
the warranty. The Solus Ambient Light Kit must only be used when connected
directly to the appliance using the pre- fitted connecting adaptor (this can be found
at the bottom right-hand corner of the appliance by the mains plug, see Fig. 1a).
The Solus Ambient Light Kit must not be adapted to be operated independently of
the appliance, such as modifying it to run on an independent 240v supply.
The Solus Ambient Light Kit is supplied as a 3m LED strip with adhesive tape
backing, a 2m extension cable (not illuminated) and a 2-way splitter which may be
used to attach two separate kits to the same appliance, allowing each kit to be
routed to different directions/locations.

2m EXTENSION CABLE
The length of an individual kit may be extended by joining another kit using LED strip connectors (not supplied), but
only to a maximum of the appliance loadings, see table below for details.

IMPORTANT: When fitting a Solus Ambient Light Kit into a Solus appliance that is built into a sealed fireplace (such
as a media wall), the kit must be fitted to the appliance during the initial build stage. The Solus Ambient Light Kit is
not a retrofit option as the connecting adapter on the appliance is often not accessible after installation in these
installation types.
Typically in such installations, the kit will be connected when the appliance is placed onto the wooden purpose built
base. The appliance should then be fixed to the wall or framework at that point, ready for the remainder of the
installation to be constructed around it to form the completed design. The LED strip can then be routed to its
designated area, with care not to damage the strip or cable during the process. Damage can occur if the strip or cable
is stretched or snagged on part of the structure/installation. If the cable is damaged at the point of the appliance, it
may need to be replaced completed and this would not fall within the scope of the warranty. It is best practice to test
that the Solus Ambient Light Kit is working correctly before the final boarding has been fitted to the installation. Once
you are satisfied that the lighting is correctly working in accordance with the controls on the remote control, the final
boarding or enclosure can take place and the installation can be finished.
When finishing the installation with a plaster, it is important to protect the appliance and ambient light kit from any
water or plaster that can be spilled during that process. Plaster can be difficult to remove when dried and can damage
the cable. Water must not be able to penetrate the cable or the appliance at any point during the installation build.
