INSTALLATION TO BE DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
GENERAL SAFETY
Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc. (Sunoptics®) product installations may be dangerous and include the potential for death,
personal injury and property damage. Some of the hazardous conditions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Installation will require working at dangerous heights. When working on ladders, scaffolding, on roofs and in attic
spaces, use extreme caution to minimize risks, property damage, personal injury, or death. Use the following
procedures, as well as other measures, as examples to reducing risk:
Clearing the area(s) below the working space or objects, animals and people.
Use proper footwear. Using footwear with excellent traction is recommended.
Avoid working on slippery, or wet, surfaces.
Supports such as ladders and scaffolding should be well supported and strong.
Install the product during calm and dry weather.
When working in attic spaces, use the following precautions:
Most attic spaces are dark, so use portable lighting such as flashlights to properly light the working area.
Always support your weight on structurally sound framing. Do not step on the drywall material because
drywall is not designed to carry a person’s weight.
It is recommended to use respirators, or masks, to avoid lung irritation.
Use basic safety procedures when working with electric tools. Use suitable eye protection, such as safety goggles,
and clear the work area of potential hazards.
The SVT2 and SVT2CV smoke vents are not designed to support the weight of a person, tools or other materials. If
the product is damaged, do not continue with the installation and immediately contact your local Sunoptics
representative for instructions and a replacement.
