2. Unscrew the fuse holder [6] at the back with an appropriate screwdriver.
3. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.

c) Mounting the device
Note: when mounting the device under an angle, do not fill the tank [3[ completely to avoid spilling
liquid from the tank into the machine.
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of
the device for one hour without deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable (e.g.
VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a
qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the
installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may
result in injuries.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug [6]. Don’t connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
