weatherproof.

If using a tripod ensure that the legs are fully extended and are standing on a level, solid surface.

Ensure that the cable is safely routed.

Allow power cables to run down the length of the light stand to the floor. DO NOT allow power

cables to hang from lights above floor level.

If the light uses a clamp to support it during use, ensure that the object to which you clamp it is strong enough.

DANGER! DO NOT direct the light into a person’s eyes.

DO NOT touch the light when operating. Allow to cool before touching, light operates at high temperature.

DO NOT handle halogen bulbs as the natural oil from your fingers will shorten the bulb life. Handle only with a soft dry cloth.

1.1. PLUG & MAINS POWER SUPPLY WARNING! It is the owner’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical

connections for wear and damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB

(Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with

all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD together with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an

RCCB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand

the following instructions concerning electrical safety. NOTE: 110 volt lights are usually operated by connecting to a transformer or a generator. Check to ensure all

supply equipment is compatible with the rating of the light.

1.1.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified electrician, using a

Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance and the safety of the

appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the power supply. See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use a Portable

Appliance Tester (PAT).

1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage and especially power connections to ensure that none

are loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used and check that plugs are fitted with the

correct capacity fuse.

1.1.7. Important: For use of a 110 volt lights - ensure that the 110 volt transformer or generator is adequately rated.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT pull plugs from sockets by the power cable.

1.1.10. DO NOT use worn or damaged leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by a

qualified electrician. A U.K. 3 pin 13 amp or 110 volt plug with ASTA/BS approval is fitted. In case of

damage, cut off and fit a new plug according to the following instructions (discard old plug safely).

(UK only - see diagrams below).

Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug. FOR 110 VOLT PLUG SEE fig.1.

a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to live terminal ‘L’.

c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.

d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected,

that the cable external insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is

tight.

1.1.11. Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection.

A cable reel with an RCD fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will

be protected. The section of the cores of the cable is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be

absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable reel is suitable for this product and for others that may be

used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.

1.2. LIGHT WIRING WARNING! Ensure all cables are disconnected from the power supply before

attempting following.

Should you need to re-wire the cable into the lamp, proceed as follows: Remove back cover of terminal

box, located at the rear of the lamp, to expose the connection block and wires, see fig.2. When wired,

check that the weather proofing seal is correctly located in the back cover recess and then replace

the back cover. If in any doubt contact a qualified electrician.
