2.0 Product description
2.1 General functions and scope of use
The POWERMOON®is always an ideal solution wherever a lot of good light is temporarily
needed –whether it’s road or railway construction, search and rescue operations, event lighting
or temporary lighting of a car park. The POWERMOON light is for indoor and outdoor use.
The special thing about POWERMOON®is its virtually glare-free and reduced-shadow light (no
harsh shadows). This allows for a high light output with daylight-like lighting conditions, all
without distracting glare such as you get with e.g. conventional headlights. The high-
performance LED lights allow for maximum luminosity at low terminal value. As such the
POWERMOON®allows for optimal teamwork and it minimises the chance of road accidents, for
drivers of passing automobiles will not be disturbed by blinding floodlights.

2.6 Environmental provisions
Environmental protection
Light from POWERMOON®devices and sound (from generators) harm the environment. Please
observe regional environmental regulations during operation, as well as regulations concerning
residence and animals (wild animals, insects and birds) in woods and fields.
Safety distances
It is necessary to keep a safety distance of at least 1 metre from combustible materials e.g. dry
wood, plastics etc. (such as wood ceilings, building walls, plastic insulation, room dividers...).
The POWERMOON®device may not be used in the vicinity of flammable materials (e.g. petrol
and gas). The POWERMOON device is not suitable for use in EX zones.
When you are transporting or passing high voltage power lines with a vehicle on which a
POWERMOON device is installed, it is essential to observe the prescribed safety distances: 50
metres distance from overhead power lines, at least 2.5 metres distance from power lines over
tracks.
Get informed of the respective on-site guidelines. These can differ in some regions. This also
applies to guidelines in airports, harbours and oil refineries.
Steps must be taken to make sure that the POWERMOON®power supply won’t be damaged or
interrupted by passing traffic or drafts. Pedestrians and moving traffic cannot be hindered by
cables which could lead to accidents or injuries.
Regarding lighting within tanks, closed containers, chimneys or floating objects:
The POWERMOON®must be operated with a separate transformer if you intend to use it in tanks,
closed containers or chimneys or on floating metal pontoons or boats. An electrician should check
whether or not safe use is possible prior to commissioning. Tanks: the tanks must be located in a
non-flammable atmosphere free of flammable gases and hydrocarbons. Consistency with
standards with electrical devices on ships must be verified by an electrician prior to
commissioning; ditto for proper connection and grounding (consider separation and equalisation).
NB: Withregard to floating bodies,there applies additional, regional(offshore, inland coastal area)
safety requirements for electrical devices; these should be inquired about with the responsible
personnel prior to the commissioning of a POWERMOON®.

Rev. 1001_EN 7/18
2.7 Security information, summary
ATTENTION! Shock and surge problems. If a POWERMOON® is operated in a common phase
on a weak and unstable voltage network together with other power-consuming devices (e.g. with
generators whose performance range is borderline or with poorly connected mains connections),
the POWERMOON may, as the power-consuming device with the highest output, cause damage
to the other devices on the same supply circuit when it is switched on and off i.e. the power surges
and phase shifts that take place during the switching process. Due to the large capacitive load
(similar to large pumps or electrical motors), we recommend that no sensitive electronic, digital
or electric devices be operated in the same network. The POWERMOON devices themselves
have built-in surge protection system, which buffers a voltage fluctuation of max. 20 %. (Example:
with 230 V network voltage, short-term peaks in the power supply which are caused by connection
or disconnection of high-consumption devices e.g. generator supplying power at a value of max.
+50 V (and therefore 280 V) will be absorbed over a period of 30-40 seconds). If the LED lights
are burdened with any higher excess voltage or for any longer period, this can result in the LEDs
being damaged.
Disclaimer: failure to observe this recommendation will excuse the manufacturer from liability
and recourse claims; these shall not be the responsibility of POWERMOON GmbH.
