5. Setup and Installation
The Steinel 034160 Adapter Frame is designed for straightforward integration. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Installation Site: Ensure the electrical box is properly installed and wired according to local electrical codes. Turn off power at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
- Mount the Presence Switch: Install the Steinel IR 180 or HF 180 presence switch into the electrical box as per its own instruction manual. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Position the Adapter Frame: Place the Steinel 034160 Adapter Frame over the mounted presence switch. The frame is designed to fit precisely around the switch and align with the Feller (EDIZIOdue) frame system.
- Install the Feller (EDIZIOdue) Frame: Secure the Feller (EDIZIOdue) frame over the adapter frame and presence switch. The adapter frame acts as an intermediary, ensuring a flush and stable fit within the Feller system.
- Final Assembly: Complete the installation by attaching the Feller (EDIZIOdue) cover plate.
- Restore Power: Once all components are securely installed and the cover plate is in place, restore power at the circuit breaker.
Note: Refer to the specific instruction manuals for the Steinel presence switch and the Feller (EDIZIOdue) frame for detailed wiring and assembly instructions for those components.
6. Operating Instructions
The adapter frame itself does not have operational functions. Its purpose is to provide a secure and aesthetic mounting solution for compatible Steinel presence switches within Feller (EDIZIOdue) frames. For operating instructions related to the presence switch, please refer to the specific manual provided with your Steinel IR 180 or HF 180 sensor.
7. Maintenance
The Steinel 034160 Adapter Frame requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: To clean the surface of the adapter frame, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the plastic finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the frame for any signs of damage or loose connections. If any damage is observed, ensure power is disconnected before inspecting further or replacing the component.
8. Troubleshooting
As a passive mounting component, the adapter frame itself typically does not cause operational issues. Most troubleshooting will relate to the connected presence switch or the electrical installation.
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Frame does not fit flush:
- Ensure the Steinel presence switch is correctly seated and secured in the electrical box.
- Verify that the Feller (EDIZIOdue) frame is compatible with the adapter frame and the presence switch.
- Check for any obstructions behind the frame.
- Visible gaps around the switch:
- Confirm that the adapter frame is correctly oriented and fully engaged with both the presence switch and the Feller (EDIZIOdue) frame.
For issues related to the functionality of the presence switch (e.g., sensor not detecting, light not turning on), please consult the troubleshooting section of the Steinel IR 180 or HF 180 presence switch manual.
