Before commencing installation
please refer to the individual Sphere
Installation and User Guides supplied
with the Receivers for installation
guidance.
These products should be installed
in accordance with the applicable
parts of the Building Regulations, and
the current edition of the IEE Wiring
Regulations (BS 7671: Requirements
for electrical installations) and
appropriate statutory regulations.
In the Republic of Ireland the
installation must be in accordance with
the ETCI National Rules for Electrical
Installations – ET 101.
Before commencing work, switch
OFF the mains supply and remove
appropriate fuse or switch off the
circuit breaker.
When modifying an existing
installation to use the Sphere
system
Check that the existing electrical and
lighting installation is safe and working
correctly before modification.
If there is any doubt how to proceed,
consult a qualified electrician.
When creating a new installation
with Sphere
Sphere can be used to create a
lighting installation without the
necessity of conventional switch
points. However it is recommended
that provision is made available for
the installation of at least one switch
point in each room or space that uses
Ceiling Receivers to aid removal in
case future occupiers want to revert
to a conventional system.
Outdoor Lighting Applications
All outdoor garden installations must
be installed in accordance with IEE
Regulations for Special Installation
Requirements. A 30mA RCD (Residual
Current Device) should always be
placed between indoor and outdoor
electrical circuits, including the initial
connection to an outdoor transformer
used for Low Voltage lighting.
Note that the Floor and Ceiling
Receivers do not have enhanced IP
ratings. They should be either wired
such that they are located indoors
or, if required to be located outside,
housed in a suitable weatherproof
enclosure of at least IP56 rating.
Outdoor enclosures must be
constructed and located such that
the Sphere receivers cannot overheat -
for example, not in direct sunlight.

Read these warnings fully before
