As the buyer, installer and/or user of this product it
is your own responsibility to ensure that this tting
is t for the purpose for which you have intended
it. Eterna Lighting cannot accept any liability for
loss, damage or premature failure resulting from
inappropriate use.
This product is designed and constructed according
to the principles of the appropriate British Standard
and is intended for normal domestic service. Using
this tting in any other environments may result in
a shortened working life, for example where there
is prolonged periods of use or higher than normal

This product is suitable for installation on surfaces
with normal ammability e.g. wood, plasterboard,
masonry. It is not suitable for use on highly
ammable surfaces (e.g. polystyrene, textiles).
Before making xing hole(s), check that there are no
obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface
such as pipes or cables.
Do not attach to surfaces which are damp, freshly
painted or otherwise electrically conductive (e.g.
metallic surfaces).
If the location of your new tting requires the
provision of a new electrical supply, the supply
must conform with the requirements of the Building
Regulations.
This product is designed for permanent connection
to xed wiring: this should be either a suitable
lighting circuit (protected with a 5 or 6 Amp MCB or

NPCHKIT INSTALLATION:
01) Separate the control unit from the NEMA base by
twisting anti-clockwise and pulling gently.
02) Using the wall xing bracket as a template, mark
and make the xing holes.
03) Secure the bracket in place using the 3 wall
plugs and screws supplied. If these xings are
not suitable for your installation use suitable
alternatives.
04) The wall xing bracket will accept 20 mm conduit
and ttings or a plain cable entry.
05) Ensure that the correct rated outdoor cable is
used.
06) Make connections to the NEMA socket as detailed
above.
07) Ensure that all connections are secure and that
no “whiskers” or bare wires are left free from the
terminals.

inside the wall bracket and secure the NEMA
base socket to the bracket with the two screws
provided.

screws to ensure eective sealing of the foam
gasket on the photocell unit.

where it will not be exposed to excessive heat
e.g. not directly above or in close proximity to a
lamp or ballast.
