Introduction
This technical information given below outlines the design and use of luminaires for use in Industrial Applications. The information given applies specifically to Chalmit Lighting products and to the topic in general.
Chalmit Lighting luminaires are designed and manufactured in accordance with good engineering practice and to well established luminaire construction standards. The equipment must be selected, installed and maintained and disposed of in accordance with any regulation or legislation appropriate to its use. Installation and Maintenance leaflets are included with all luminaires and are available on request. These contain information essential to the safe use of the equipment and must be read and understood by installers and users before putting equipment into service.
CE Marking
Luminares are designed to comply with luminaire construction standard EN 60598 (IEC 598).
Luminaires which comply with the individual product standard will have their internal components operating within their rated performance when operating at the maximum rated ambient temperature. This contributes to the reliability and, ultimately, to the safety of the installation.
Electrical Supplies, Control Gear & Power Factor Correction
The standard electrical supply for Chalmit Lighting luminaires operating in an industrial area is generally 230V/50Hz. As continuous operation of control gear at more than 6% of voltage setting is not recommended, most Chalmit luminaires will have the facility to overcome this by either tappings (in the case of copper and iron control gear) or by use of a high frequency electronic ballast (fluorescents only) with a wide range of V/Hz.
