INSTALLATION:
The sleeper is designed to be root-mounted into wet concrete or buried securely into compact earth. For extra
stability, attach a large wood screw into two sides of the sleeper approximately 200mm from the base. These
will act as anchors when set into wet concrete.
1. Prepare a mounting hole in the desired location to allow for a bollard depth
of at least 300mm (can vary depending on the required height above ground).
Ensure the diameter of the hole is at least 300mm to accommodate the width
of the sleeper, or slightly more if anchors are attached (see above). TIP: Carry
out placement check prior to final installation into wet concrete.
2. Connect the fitting to the transformer / extension cable via a junction box or
tubecon connector (see diagram for wiring information).
3. Check that you have correctly identified the supply wires, the connections are
tight and that no loose strands have been left out of the connection block.
4. Cut down the supplied back panel accordingly, based on the cable connection
method / location. If the existing cable is extended, the back panel does not
need to be cut down. If connecting to a junction box above ground level, the
back panel will need to be cut down.
5. Test the fitting prior to concreting in place for easier access to the cable.
6. OPTIONAL: attach a large wood screw to each side to act as an anchor
support
7. Mount the sleeper into the desired location using supports to hold the fitting upright. Concrete or earth must cover the
anchor and at least 100mm above.
8. Ensure the black, rubber o-ring / seal is securely in place around the luminaire, flush with the glass lens (fitting)
NOTES:
•CABLES: Neutral (N) = Blue, Live (L) = Brown. Colours of wire sleeving may
vary slightly –Test prior to use.
•2 core cable is not armoured. It is strongly recommended that any adjoining, low
voltage cable is laid within conduit (armoured preferred) for added protection.
•Mains cable leading to the transformer must be installed inside armoured conduit
(or armoured cable used) in accordance with the current Wiring Regulations.
•Ensure the transformer has plenty of surrounding airflow to prevent overheating
and install in a safe location away from possible damage. Lumena 12v AC
transformers are rated IP68 and can be buried if located inside a suitable burial
box with overflow.
•It is strongly recommended that the cable is concealed with a strip of wood for
further protection and aesthetics. Use a thin strip of Radiata Pine and pins
(provided). Please note, this will not affect the IP Rating.
SILICA GEL PROCEDURE:
A small pack of silica gel is located inside the luminaire behind the MR16. This should
not be removed. Condensation inside the luminaire is common due to the heat generated from lamps and cold weather
conditions externally, especially if installed on a damp day. The silica gel will collect the moisture inside the fitting, preventing this
from causing any issues. It is recommended that the silica gel is replaced when the light bulb is replaced, if not before, and the
white rubber o-ring and black rubber seal inspected for damage.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
Occasional cleaning and care are recommended for this product. As a natural material, Radiata products will possess structural
features, such as knots, splits and twists. Due to the pressure treatment of this timber, it may have a slight blue appearance in
places, particularly around knots. This will fade over time as the timber naturally weathers. Please refer to our website for more
information on the best way to clean different materials.
