5.3.3

Visual instructions

This may be used instead of 5.3.4

The steps for installing the product into an existing luminaire must follow Figure 7. If a starter replacement is not required, steps 4 and 5 in Figure 7 and section 5.3.4 can be omitted

5.3.4

Installation

This may be used instead of 5.3.3

Example for a replacement lamp type that does not require luminaire modification.

(1) Disconnect power.

(2) and (3) Remove the traditional lamp.

(4) Remove the starter.

(5) Install the LED starter into the starter holder.

(6) Install the LED lamp into the lamp holders.

(7) Secure the position by rotating the lamp 90º.

5.4

Conformity

Check for conformity with 5.1 to 5.3 as follows:

– Check for the presence and legibility of the label by visual inspection.

– Durability of marking – on the lamp (attempting to erase the marking content) is tested by:

+ Step 1: rub the marking lightly for 15 s with a cloth soaked with water and after drying

+ Step 2: rub lightly again for 15 s with a cloth soaked with hexane.

=> The marking shall still be legible after this test.

The information content required in 5.2 and 5.3 is checked by inspection.
