Please read the instructions carefully and adhere to the regulations and guidelines listed before operating the device.
WARNING Risk of Injury!
The optical radiation from LED products can damage your eyes.
Never look directly into the light of LED products.
General Safety Instructions - Installation
- Installation, commissioning, and maintenance should only be performed by qualified electricians.
- Never work on the device while it is live. Risk of fatal electric shock!
- Never exceed the permissible voltage specified in this manual.
- Do not remove the housing to avoid the risk of electric shock.
- LED products must be installed in compliance with the electrical and mechanical safety regulations applicable in your country.
- Ensure that the connection cables are laid without kinks, pinches, or sharp edges during installation.
- If drilling holes into the structure of the vehicle is necessary for permanent installation, ensure that the vehicle surface is not damaged (e.g., by corrosion). Be cautious not to damage cables or load-bearing components while drilling.
General Safety Instructions - Usage
- Avoid extreme temperatures or strong vibrations.
- LED products may only be used within the temperature ranges specified in the manual.
- Ensure LED products are only operated in accordance with their protection class (IP rating) and are not exposed to prolonged moisture or heavy rain if it falls outside the specified protection class.
- Any mechanical stress or load on LED products is prohibited.
- LED products must not be used in environments where the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dust is possible.
- Disconnect the LED product from the power supply when not in use or during cleaning (e.g., unplug the connector, trip the fuse, etc.).
Safety Instructions for Magnetic Mounts
- Magnetic mounts generate strong forces that can cause injuries if mishandled. Be especially careful to avoid pinching fingers or hands.
- Keep magnets away from sensitive devices and objects, such as electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, laptops), magnetic storage media (e.g., credit cards, hard drives), and watches. Such items can be damaged or rendered unusable by magnetic fields.
- Store magnets safely when not in use and away from sensitive materials to prevent accidental damage. Preferably keep them in their original packaging.
Special Instructions for Individuals with Medical Implants
Warning: Individuals with pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, or other medical implants must avoid close proximity to strong magnetic fields.
- Magnets can significantly disrupt or deactivate such devices, leading to life-threatening situations.
- Users with medical implants are strictly prohibited from handling products or accessories with magnetic mounts to ensure their safety.
- Maintain a safe distance from magnetic fields, even if the magnets are packaged or not actively in use.
Target Audience
- The use and operation of the LED product are permitted only by trained and instructed personnel.
- Children must be kept away from LED products. Children and individuals with limited physical, sensory, or cognitive abilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, may only use LED products under supervision.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Perform a thorough visual inspection of the device for cracks, discoloration, damage, contamination, and the condition of seals before each use and at regular intervals. Ensure that glass and seals are properly positioned and fully tightened to prevent water ingress.
- Regularly check that all screws and fittings are tightened, especially after vibrations or shocks, to ensure secure mounting.
- Improper cleaning of the LED product can cause damage. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, brushes with metal or hard bristles, or sharp or metallic cleaning tools. During vehicle washes, avoid applying high pressure directly to the installed LED products.
Driving with Mounted Products (Permanently Installed or Magnetic Mounts)
Aerodynamic Effects
- The installation of additional products, regardless of the mounting type, affects the vehicle's aerodynamics. This can increase air resistance and impact driving stability, especially at higher speeds.
- Adjust your speed according to the changed driving conditions and wind load to ensure safe driving behavior.
Adaptation to Weather Conditions
- In adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, rain, snow, or ice, reduce your speed to prevent the mounted products from lifting or detaching.
- Note that wind and pressure on the products during rain or snowfall may be stronger and can impact adhesion or stability. Regularly check the mounting.
Secure Hold with Magnetic Mounts
- Magnetic mounts can be affected by vibrations, strong wind loads, or uneven roads. Check the secure fit of the magnetic mount before starting your journey and regularly during long trips.
- Ensure that the mounting surface is clean and free of grease to ensure optimal adhesion. Loose or inadequately secured products pose a safety risk.
Note on DEKRA-Certified Products
- The respective products have been tested by DEKRA under optimal conditions at speeds of up to 220 km/h. These test values apply only under ideal conditions such as dry roads, stable mounting surfaces, and calm wind conditions. Under adverse weather conditions, uneven roads, or other challenging circumstances, these values cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, regular inspection of the mounting is essential to ensure safety.
Speed Limit and Load
- The maximum permissible speed according to the manufacturer's specifications must not be exceeded. Exceeding these limits can not only damage the product but also compromise road safety.
- During highway driving, regular inspection of the mounting is essential, as the resulting wind and vibrations increase significantly with speed.
