INFORMATION ON WATERPROOF LUMINAIRE
The tarm BLAZE luminaire is an IP66 rated, waterproof device. It is protected against dust and water ingress. Thus any maintenance or service work that incorporates the opening of the device requires additional procedures to ensure the waterproofness after the maintenance or service work. Please see the maintenance procedures further down this manual.
Even though this device can endure ingress of dust (6) and powerful water jets from any direction (6) (-> IP66), it is not submersible and not suitable for underwater operation.
Maritime/Coastal Environment Installations:
Coastal environments, located near the sea, expose electronics to atomized saltwater and high humidity, posing a significant corrosive risk. Maritime settings include areas within a 5-mile radius of these coastal environments.
Due to these challenging conditions, maritime installations require additional precautions and more frequent servicing. It‘s important to note that IP ratings are initially based on freshwater conditions, whereas maritime environments are generally more corrosive to IP fixtures, both internally and externally. During periods of high humidity and low temperatures, periodic operation may be necessary to expel accumulated moisture through the vent valve.
Recommendations may vary depending on specific installation circumstances.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – HANDLING THE FIXTURE
- Handle the power cord by the plug end only; never pull the plug out by tugging on the wire.
- Do not touch the fixture housing during operation. Turn off the power and allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before servicing.
- Avoid shaking the fixture and do not use brute force during installation or operation.
- Do not operate the fixture if the power cord is frayed, crimped, damaged, or if any of the connectors are compromised and cannot be securely and easily inserted into the fixture.
- Never force a power cord connector into the fixture. If the power cord or any of its connectors are damaged, replace them immediately with a new cord of similar power rating.
- Do not block any air ventilation slots. Ensure that all fan and air inlets remain clean and unobstructed.
- Maintain approximately 25 cm of space between the fixture and other devices or walls for proper cooling, and a minimum of 50 cm around fans and air vents.
- When installing the fixture in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware no less than M10x25mm, and secure the fixture with an appropriately rated safety cable.
- Consistent operational breaks will help ensure the fixture functions properly for many years.
- Use only the original packaging and materials when transporting the fixture for service.
- Never exceed the specified minimum and maximum operating temperatures specified in the technical data. This may lead to damage or total break of the device and can furthermore lead to secondary hazards (fire, short circuit, etc.). Operating the device beyond the specified operating temperature range voids the manufacturer‘s warranty.
- Do not install a fuse that has a higher rating than the one originally installed in the product.
- Do not bypass fuses.
- Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto optical components.
- Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. The front lens focuses and concentrates light just like a magnifying glass. Strong light can cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or starting an internal fire within seconds.
- Avoid pointing other high powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
- Do not focus a light beam from one lighting fixture directly towards another.
- For outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of any fixture is shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
- Do not expose the product to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
TRANSPORTATION
- Only transport the device using the PU foam included in delivery or comparable.
- Only transport it with the locks for Pan and Tilt movement applied.
- Only transpoprt the device with the base to the top as per the PU-foam.
- Avoid upside-down transportation (base to the bottom), as the PU-foam was not made for this.
- Avoid tipping the flightcase containing the device during transport and handling.
