2. DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATION OF THE LIGHTING DEVICEThe TL LUMINITE device has the purpose of lighting large areas for night work, shows, events, emergency situations, etc.Light operation is extremely simple and it can be used by anyone, simply by following the rules described as follows.

2.1. INSTALLATION PREPARATION

The light must be positioned and installed on a level surface, free of liquids and able to sustain its weight.Check the solidity of the ground so that the stakes to insert in the ground to guarantee the stability of the light are not extracted by the wind. If the stakes cannot be used, the appropriate accessory must be used.In addition, check that the area around the light is clear of obstacles for a distance equal to the height of the tower (for example, for the 4 metre tower, an area with a 4 metre radius).Set the base of TL LUMINITE on the ground and check its balance.1) Open the protective cover by pulling the four rubber hooks downwards, releasing them

from the holders in the base

5 m (15’)

Figure 6 - Positioning and opening

Place the TL LUMINITE cover in a protected place2) Make sure that the selector is set to “0”3) Connect TL LUMINITE to a 230 Vac power supply source; check for the presence of power

supply, indicated by the light indicator on the selector being switched on

2.2. INFLATION

During inflation, make sure the tube is not touching the ground. Hold the part of the tube containing the light in your hands, making sure that it does not fall during

operations. If the wind bracing tie rods are already connected to the holding eyelets, arrange them in a radial pattern so that they do not obstruct and prevent normal lifting of the tower. see the following figure:

Figure 7 - Inflation


rev. 0pag. 14

1) Set the fan power selector to position ON and assist the inflation of the tower by aiding the unrolling of the cloth tube;

Figure 8 - Sequence

2.3. SECURING OF WIND BRACING

Without the ground-secured wind bracing, the structure remains stable with winds up to 20 km/h. However, due to the possible sudden presence of wind gusts and/

or the instability of the ground, it is advisable to always secure the wind bracing tie rods to the ground, using the supplied stakes, or otherwise, the appropriate accessory. Do not use the device with winds above 70 km/h.To secure the wind bracing, follow this procedure:- Bend the light sideways- Connect the four tie rods to the four rings present at about 2/3 of the height of the tower; - Re-adjust the light to a vertical position- Secure the stakes to the ground - Connect the tie rods to the stakes or to any other stable and safe fixing point and tension

them

Figure 9

2.4. SWITCH-ON

When tower inflation is completed, set the Light selector to position ON, and after a few instants the light will switch on and brightness will gradually increase;The required time for the high-intensity discharge bulb to reach maximum power is a few minu-tes based on the external temperature.


rev. 0pag. 15

Figure 10 - Light switch-on

2.5. SWITCH-OFF, DESCENT AND CLOSING

When operations are completed, the light must be switched off according to the following procedure; not following the procedure could cause the light to break.

1) Set the Light selector to position OFF; the light will be switched off, while the tower fan will continue to operate.

2) Wait a minimum of 5 minutes to allow the bulb to cool down; the longer the cooling time, the longer the bulb duration will be;;

If the track pole is installed, release it by carrying out the previously described ope-rations in reverse and place it back in its orange cloth sack

3) Go to the descent side of the tower, marked by the following icon at the base

Figure 11 - Tower descent side icon

4) set the Fan power selector to OFF; the internal fan will stop and pressure inside the tower will start to decrease gradually. The tower tends to drop from the side where the tensioning elastic band is located.

To correctly control the descent, put one hand on the first half of the tower and grab the extremity with the other hand. Do not allow the peak to touch the ground

in order not to risk damaging the bulb inside


rev. 0pag. 16

Figure 12 - Descent control

5) Open the air outlet by pulling outwards and hook the valve to the screw on the base; this action will allow a greater quantity of air to be released, therefore reducing deflation time

Figure 13 - Deflating valve closed and open

6) roll up the tower cloth around the bulb holder cage, expelling all the air inside.

Figure 14 - Rolling up


rev. 0pag. 17

Roll up, possibly keeping the elastic band inside the fold to prevent it from getting caught and obstructing tower lifting at the following use

7) When the cloth is rolled up, rotate the cloth roll by 90° in order to make its axis parallel to the greater side of the base

8) Place the deflation flap back in position9) Disconnect the power supply cord, wind it and place it back into its containing sack. Place

the sack at the base of the cloth 10) Reinstall the protective cover, making sure that the tower cloth and the power supply cable

are not trapped between the cover and the base;11) Close the cover by pulling the side hooks and anchoring them onto the appropriate holders

On the side of the cloth, close to the base, the safety indications which the user must know are indicated in order to avoid installation and use errors:

Figure 15 - Safety indications

2.6. SWITCHING OFF AND BACK ON

It might be necessary to switch the light off and then on again at a later time. Since TL LUMINITE uses high-intensity discharge bulbs, it is normal to have a waiting time between switching off and switching back on. In fact, the bulb must cool down in order for the switch-on process to be set off again. The constant and continuous air flow which characterises the system used on TL LUMINITE significantly accelerates this process, decreasing waiting times by about 80% compa-red to other types of installations and bulbs. The time it takes to switch the light back on for TL LUMINITE is about 5/6 minutes, based on the external temperature. During the waiting time, the on switch can be constantly set to ON.

2.7. USE OF SAFETY STELL POLE

For installations in which it is possible to have a power outage, even for brief pe-riods, or in case of an audience or the presence of people who are not enabled

to use the light, it is important to avoid any damage caused by deflation that is accidental and uncontrolled by the system, by adopting the Safety steel pole accessory

The Stell Pole is made up of a set of stainless steel tubes which, once opened and positioned, prevent the tower from collapsing completely in case of an unexpected or accidental power outage.

To install the steel pole, the tower must already be inflated, and the following simple procedure must be followed:

1) open the sack containing the stackable steel pole sections

Figure 17

2) stack up the first 2 or 3 elements. It is impossible to make a mistake, because the elements are bound together by a safety string which prevents incorrect insertion.

3) hook the snap-hook to the tensioning elastic band on the tower.

Figure 18


rev. 0pag. 19

4) extend and complete stacking of the elements, pushing upwards5) remove the protective cap of the steel pole insertion hole, and insert it by pressing firmly, to

prevent it from coming out of its seatIn case of accidental power outage, the structure will deflate, but the peak will remain at a safe

height and will not touch the ground

Figure 19 ATTENTION: THE STELL POLE IS INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR SAFETY FUNCTIONS. DO

NOT LEAVE THE DEFLATED TOWER ON THE STELL POLE. In this condition, the wind bracing cables lose their function. Rain can enter the tube, and wind can knock down the structure. In case of accidental descent, verify the causes and fix the pro-blem if necessary.

2.8. PROBLEMS AND MALFUNCTIONING

The following are the most common problems that occur during light operation. Note that the situations represented as follows do not represent all possible cases.1) It does not switch onBlown Fuse, check by following this procedure.1) disconnect power from the device2) open the cover by removing the 4 screws on the handles and check and replace the fuse3) close the cover4) connect the power and check for correct operation.If the unit does not restart, contact the manufacturer or an enabled technician2) Tearing of the cloth Until a few centimetres in length, tears on the cloth do not compromise the vertical stability

of the tower, and constant insufflation of a large quantity of air generally guarantees enough pressure to keep it vertical. However, the pressure itself tends to widen the tears. Therefore, following a tear, switch off the light immediately, wait about 5 minutes, then switch off ven-tilation as described previously. At this point, the tower cloth can be repaired with the repair kit made available with every supplied device.

3) Tower inflation issues This problem can be due to excessively low voltage, clogged filters or tear tissue. With an installer, check the operating voltage (especially for very long power supply lines).

Verify the integrity of the tissue For the filters, follow the cleaning indications described in the following chapters.

h) Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner, then reposition it in its seati) reposition the cover, careful not to crush any cables during closing, and tighten the 4 fixing

screws on the transport handle, locking them fully.l) Check and if necessary clean the filter located on the air outlet pipe

5.2. LIGHT REPLACEMENT

Although the bulb has a shelf life of 20,000 hours, it could break after a fall of the tower or over-voltage.

The bulb is a special high efficiency bulb, and replacements must be requested to EIL SY-STEMS; the use of another bulb could cause malfunctions which in turn could cause, in

extreme cases, the TL LUMINITE to catch on fire.

To carry out bulb replacement operations, it is necessary to wear protective gloves in order to prevent any glass chips from causing cuts or injuries.


rev. 0pag. 27

To carry out the replacement, follow these indications:a) Disconnect the lighting device from the power source and/or if used, disconnect the gene-

rator from TL LUMINITE; wait at least 5 minutes to allow the bulb to cool down.b) When the tower is deflated, loosen the 6 nuts at its peak

Figure 35

c) After loosening the nuts, delicately lift the metallic cover until reaching the bulb; loosen it and replace it with the new bulb, carefully inserting the anti-slip o-ring supplied with the replacement bulb: be sure to insert it correctly - without forcing the bulb - in its appropriate seat in the cage

Figure 36

d) Delicately set the metallic cover in its position and re-tighten the 6 locking nuts of the cover, tightening them firmly. Incorrectly locked nuts can loosen and cause air leaks between the cloth and the cover, with an increase of noise in the form of bothersome hisses

e) Check the operation of the new bulb by running a full switch-on and off cycle before putting it away for future use.

Figure 37

Always request spare bulbs from EIL Systems, since they are customised (they are not commercial bulbs) and therefore CANNOT be replaced by other bulbs on the

market.

5.3. REPAIRING THE CLOTH

Following use, the tower cloth may be subject to cuts or tears.To guarantee its use regardless, 2 strips of adhesive cloth are supplied with the lighting device for small repairs (“small repairs” are interventions for a maximum of 30 mm in length). To carry out small repairs, the material must be custom cut, leaving about 2.5 cm of repair cloth around the tear in all directions, to guarantee its adhesion.

Apply the repair cloth internally and externally, firmly pressing to allow the two cloths to adhere to the tower cloth. Use a hot iron for better attachment of the adhesive.

Figure 38

At this point, the tower can be used again after a test inflation to check for other damage.

For cuts greater than 3 cm, attach the adhesive and reinforce it by stitching on both sides of the cut

5.4. CLEANING THE CLOTH

To clean the cloth, simply prepare water, neutral soap and a rag.Cleaning can easily be carried out with the tube inflated and the light off. Dampen the rag with water and soap and pass it over the surface until clean.

Do not wash the tower cloth in the washerDo not use high-pressure water jet cleaners

5.5. REPLACING THE SUPPORTING TUBE

Replacing the supporting tube can be necessary for the following reasons:- to use the reduced height tube accessory;- when the cloth is torn, dirty or in any case needs to be replaced or repaired Follow the information reported as follows:1) Disassemble the 4 ground-fastening tie-rods2) Switch the machine off (if it is not already off), waiting for the bulb to cool, and spread the

cloth out on a clean surface;

3) Switch off the fan and deflate the tower following the procedure4) Disconnect the power;5) Lift the protective skirt of the clamp (see the following figure) and loosen the cloth holding

clamp with a screwdriver or a 7.0 mm socket driver, until it is released;

5) take the new cloth and connect the bulb connector to the base connector.6) Insert the base of the tube on the machine with the stitch aligned on the air outlet valve.7) lock the metallic clamp above the tube’s reinforcement clamp and until it reaches the locking

ring’s mechanic stop (see the following figure):

Figure 41

8) Power the machine and carry out a withstand test, checking its verticality, that there are no air leaks, and that the bulb switches on regularly.

The replacement of the cage and the plant’s internal power should be done by au-thorized personnel

6. DECOMMISSIONINGDecommissioning occurs when the lighting device, having reached the end of its shelf life, must be dismantled.To carry out these operations, please refer to the notes below.If the lighting device is stored before demolition, it must be made unusable in the following way:- cut the electrical cord as close to the base as possible- remove the bulb from the bulb holder- place a sign with the following text on the lighting device:“ATTENTION! UNIT TO BE DEMOLISHED; DO NOT USE”.

6.1. DISPOSAL

During processing, waste or scrap substances are generated which must be collected, recycled or disposed of. these are:- Spare bulbs; they must be disposed of according to the law.

6.2. DEMOLITION

Upon demolition, it is necessary to separate the parts made of plastic material and the electrical components, which must be sent to separate collection of rubbish according to current regula-tions.Concerning the metallic mass of the structure, it must simply be divided into steel parts and parts made of other metals or alloys (for example, the internal aluminium structure), to be sent for metal recycling.Separate the plastic materials from the ferrous materials.

Before starting demolition of the lighting device, make sure it is not connected to the electrical power supply (if so, disconnect it).

Pay particular attention to the handling of heavy metallic parts in order to avoid danger of cru-shing body parts.Pay special attention to the fact that the bulb must be dismantled from the tower and placed in a container, so that it is not broken or damaged during demolition operations.Disposal must be carried out according to the laws in force in the country in which the machine is installed.
