Designations for VS Converters

Designations for electronic converters are first listed by the name of the product family, which in each case reflects the visible product properties. The type designation should be read as follows:

EST	60	/12	.388
Electronic Safety Transformer	Max. Wattage	Lamp Voltage	Serial Number

Mechanical Mounting

Mounting position	Any
Clearance	Min. of 0.1 m from walls, ceilings, insulation; min. of 0.1 m from other electronic converters; min. of 0.25 m from sources of heat (lamp)
Surface	Solid; device must not be allowed to sink into insulation materials
Mounting location	In dry rooms or in luminaires, cases, casings or similar in the instance of built-in converters
Fastening	Independent converters: using screws, Ø 4 mm Built-in converters: fix M8 nut on the threaded stud
Heat transfer	If the electronic converter is destined for installation in a luminaire, sufficient heat transfer must be ensured between the converter and the luminaire casing. During operation, the tc point must not exceed the specified value.
