Instructions for connection and operation
Pay attention to the data sheet included with the product when wiring the inverter.
• Begin by mounting the inverter in a suitable location.
Ensure that the inverter is protected against accidental contact and that there is a
sufcient clearance from other boards and cables etc.
• Connect the uorescent lamp to the output on the inverter using a suitable connection cable.
Fluorescent lamps must not be subjected to mechanical loads as they break very
easily. The mercury inside the uorescent lamp is harmful when touched or when the
vapour is inhaled.
• Lay all cables such that they will not be damaged or bent.
• Seal the housing that contains the inverter, the uorescent lamp and the LC display.
• Turn on the operating voltage.
Turn off the operating voltage if the uorescent lamp does not turn on. Then check that
the polarity/operating voltage is correct and that the inverter is correctly connected to the
uorescent lamp.
