ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
First check that the voltage marked on the product corresponds with your supply voltage.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
230 Volt Models
Connect the mains lead to a 230 volt (50Hz) domestic electrical supply via a standard 13
amp BS 1363 plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the flexible cord of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
• Connect GREEN & YELLOW cord to plug terminal marked with a letter ‘E’ or Earth
symbol ‘ ’ or coloured GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW.
• Connect BROWN cord to plug terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured RED.
• Connect BLUE cord to plug terminal marked ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.
If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric cable (i.e. non-
rewirable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a danger of
electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct
replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer or most electrical stockists.
5. The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps) and this
replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
This product should be connected to the mains via a Residual Current Device (RCD)
110 Volt Models
These units include a fitted Industrial plug to BS4343, and a yellow artic cable for use on a
suitably protected 110 volt supply.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
WARNING:
IF IN ANY DOUBT ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
NB: IF THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE LAMP IS TO BE RUN UNDERGROUND, INSTALLATION MUST
BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH I.E.E REGULATIONS AND WORK MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A
FULLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the legs are spread wide enough so that the centre column is clear of
the ground as shown in Fig 7., otherwise the centre column will act as a fourth leg and the
stand will therefore be unstable. Fig. 8 illustrates the stand in an unstable condition.
The tripod is telescopic up to a max. height of 2M (excluding the height of the lamps). The
two extension pieces are locked by the Column Locking Collars shown in Fig.6.
To extend the column, grasp the column with one hand and turn the respective locking
collar anticlockwise to unlock. Pull out the extension tube to the desired height and relock
by turning the collar clockwise.
NOTE:
In the interests of safety, it is recommended that the tripod legs be secured by placing sand
bags or similar weights over each leg, if this unit is used:
a) On uneven or rocky surfaces.
b) With a long extension cable.
c) In windy conditions; or when any of the extension tubes are extended beyond
the normal closed position.

Fig. 8.Fig. 7.
The Lamps
Lamps on the single lamp models are simply
attached to the top of the column using the single
securing screw provided in the centre hole of the
lamps’ mounting bracket.
The twin lamp models should be assembled as
follows:
1. Remove the support bar securing screw from
the top of the tripod column (see Fig. 6).
2. Rest the lamp support bar on the bracket on
top of the column as shown in Fig.9.
3. With the two lamps being supported (eg,
resting on a workbench or similar, in order to
take their weight), thread the securing screw
throught the hole in the cable junction box
fixing bracket, as shown in Fig.9, through the
hole in the lamp support bar, and screw it into
thethreadedhole on top of the column. Ensure
it is tight.
4. Attach the lamps to the support bar using the
single screw provided and shown at’A’, Fig.10.
NOTE: The lamp may be swivelled by slackening
the screw ‘A’ Fig.10, or tilted by slackening the screw
‘B’. Ensure the screws are tightened when
adjustments are completed.

box of the 110V version differs slightly but method
of assembly is the same.

ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the Bulb
The bulb is stored within the lamp housing as illustrated in Fig. 1.
4
1. Remove the wing nut securing the handle where fitted,
and then the screw securing the lamp housing cover,
arrowedinFig.1,and install the halogen bulbas follows:
Holding the bulb with a soft cloth, carefully locate
one end into the ceramic mounting. Whilst pushing
the end of the bulb against the metal pin, gently slide
the other end of the bulb into position in the other
ceramic mounting until it is secure. Do not use force
when installing the bulb.
NOTE: DO NOT TOUCH THE BULB WITH FINGERS, this will cause
damage. If it has been touched, wipe it carefully with a
soft cloth dampened with methylated spirits.
2. When the bulb is in position, screw the lamp housing cover back firmly, ensuring the
gasket is correctly seated, then reattach the handle where fitted.
MODELS 150D & 500D ONLY
These models are designed for wall or other independant mounting and may be used with
PIR or other security systems. They are not supplied with electric cable.
The cable used should be suitable for outdoor use, 3-core with a conductor size of at least
1.5mm2, manufactured to BS6500.
Wiring up these models should be carried out as
follows:
1. Remove the cable gland and rubber
washer from the cable inlet and retain. Fig.
2 shows the gland and washer removed
from model 151D.
2. Remove the Terminal Box cover by
unscrewing the four securing screws.
3. Remove the screws securing the cable
clamp.
4. Thread the cable gland, followed by the
rubber washer over the cable, then thread
the cable through the cable inlet.
5 Carefully strip the outer insulation from the
conductors for a distance of approx. 30mm
taking care not to damage the conductor
insulation.
Strip the conductor insulation, for a distance
of approx. 8mm and twist the strands
together, on each conductor
Fig. 3.
Fig. 2.
Fig. 1.
6. Identify the terminals by observing the embossed
symbols on the base of the junction box, and
indicated in Fig.4.
These are L - Live, N - Neutral and earth.
Connect the conductors accordingly.
NOTE: The cable path for the 500SD is shown by the dotted
line in Fig. 3.
7. Replace the cable clamp ensuring it firmly clamps
the OUTER insulation, or sheathing, and NOT the
conductors.

8. Push the rubber washer into the cable inlet and screw in the cable gland firmly. Do
not overtighten as this could strip the plastic threads.
9. Before replacing the cover, ensure the terminal black is located snugly on the locating
pegs, illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4.
The cover should be firmly secured, but again, do not overtighten the screws.
Thelampmaybemountedto a convenient surface using the holes provided in the mounting
bracket, and then tilted to the desired angle. Tighten the mounting bracket pivot screws
(B, Fig.10) to secure.
MODELS 100D, 151D & 500SD
These models are mounted on a carry frame,
which is assembled as follows:
1. Remove the fixing screw (inset Fig.5) from the
base of the carry frame, then insert the tubular
base into the frame attachment, as indicated
in Fig. 5.
2. Line up the holes in the two sections of the
frame then replace and tighten the fixing screw.
ALL OTHER MODELS
Fig. 4.
Fig. 5.
All other models are tripod mounted, either single
lamp or twin.
The Tripod
The tripod is folded so that the legs lie flat along
the column.
To erect the stand, pull the legs away from the column
by prising them from within the support linkage, taking
carenottotrapyourfingers. Pullthelegsinthedirection
of the arrows shown in Fig. 6.
The hub will slide down the legs and the legs will
spread.
NOTE: It may be necessary to slacken the Leg Locking
Knob in order for the hub to move. Remember to
retighten when the legs are spread correctly.
