PHILIPS SELECON PL3 LED LUMINAIRE SERVICE MANUAL
Special Care and Handling
WARNING: All cleaning should be performed with power completely removed from
the luminaire. Never remove protective covers when luminaire is powered. Wear
appropriate protective eye wear and gloves when cleaning the fixture. All service and
maintenance, other than described herein, should be performed by a qualified techni-
cian or Authorized Service Center.
Cleaning and Care Instructions
Being a solid-state fixture, and unlike most fixtures, the PL3 LED Luminaire requires
very little routine maintenance by the user. This section covers portions of the
luminaire that can be removed for cleaning.
The PL3 LED Luminaire requires special care when it comes to cleaning front lens
assembly. Additional care needs to be taken with the plastic components because they
are much easier to scratch or damage than glass.
The following is a list of cleaning materials required to care for your PL3 LED Lumi-
naire:
• Lint free lens tissue
• Lint or powder free gloves
• Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol*
• A mild soap solution.
Note: *Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol is good to use on the PL3 LED Luminaire
plastic optics with anti-reflection coatings.
If the lens is still dirty after using isopropyl alcohol, for instance if fingerprints or oil is
just redistributed and not cleaned off the optic, then a mild soap and water solution can
be used to gently wash the lens. Repeat the cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to
eliminate streaks and soap residue.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should ammonia-based cleaners, acetone, or
other harsh solvents be used on or near the PL3 LED Luminaire. These types of
cleaners or solvents can permanently damage the optics or housings of the fixture.
If you have any questions regarding the use or care of your PL3 LED Luminaire,
please contact Philips Selecon technical support or your local Authorized Dealer.

General Care and Equipment Handling
Below are some basic tips and information on handling PL3 LED Luminaires and their
associated components.
Locations/Use
PL3 LED Luminaires are designed for dry locations only. Exposure to rain or moisture
(including, but not limited to, fog machines, misters, etc.) may damage luminaires.
Solid State Electronics
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) presents a significant danger to solid state electronic
components (semiconductor devices and PC board assemblies). Static electricity can
build on a variety of common objects (including people) simply by handling or
moving. ESD rarely results in immediate failure of a component, but shows up later as
an intermittent problem or severely reduces the life of the component. PL3 LED Lumi-
naires use solid state electronics and appropriate precautions to protect them should be
observed when servicing.
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)
All PC boards should be shipped in electrostatic shielding bags. When handling PC
boards or components, devices such as conductive mats and conductive wrist straps
should be used whenever possible. If these precautionary devices are not available,
handling of PC boards and components should be avoided.
CAUTION: Black foam (used to package solid state electronics) should never be
used for packing batteries or put in contact with PC boards which contain batteries.
