2. Avoiding damage to the fixture
Important! Follow the directions in this section carefully, or the fixture may
suffer damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
General precautions
• Do not drop the fixture or expose it to mechanical stress.
• Protect the LCD display and control panel from shocks, or they may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
• Clean optical components only as directed in the fixture's user documentation.
Oils, solvents, and other chemicals commonly used for cleaning can damage the
lens coatings and surfaces.
• Use only original spare parts. Do not make any structural modifications to the
fixture, or you will void the product warranty.
• Create loose cable bends only. Do not subject connectors to bending forces or
allow connectors to bear the weight of long lengths of cable.
Avoiding damage from light sources and heat
• Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources.
Strong light can cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or
starting an internal fire within seconds.
• Damage can occur whether the fixture is powered on or off. See Figure 1.
Damage can also occur if the light hits the front of the fixture at an angle: the
fixture does not need to be pointing directly at the sun or other light source.
• To avoid problems from strong light sources:
- Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other strong light
source.
- In outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of the
fixture is shielded or points away from the sun at all times, even when the fixture
is not in use.
- Do not aim other high-powered lighting fixtures directly at the fixture.
