20、to the water inside the tank. Because of the constant refilling of water as a consequence of evaporation and regular servicing, e.g. feeding the fish, it is necessary to open the cover above or to remove the aquarium luminaire frequently in order to have a good and sufficient access to the water sur
21、face. The requirements of this standard are necessary to prevent any dangerous contact between current-carrying parts of the aquarium luminaire and the water inside the tank during refilling or maintenance. Another aspect is to prevent any accidental immersion of the aquarium luminaire into the wate

31、 and/or the following symbol (see Figure 1) concerning the minimum distance to the maximum water level of the aquarium shall be marked on the luminaire if it is possible (by the design of the aquarium) that water can reach the luminaire. The minimum distance shall be at least 15 mm. Figure 1 Minimum
32、 distance from water level symbol 11.5.2 Portable external parts, e.g. ballast units, shall be marked with a warning based on the following wording: ”Shall not be positioned on or into the cover frame”, if the protection against ingress of moisture is lower than IPX7. 11.5.3 Aquarium luminaires shal
33、l be marked with an outside visible instruction based on the following wording: “Disconnect supply before opening the luminaire for maintenance”. 11.5.4 If the permanently attached luminaire is delivered separately from the aquarium and intended for direct mounting on the wall of the tank, the manuf
34、acturer has to give an information in the instructions regarding the permissible thickness of the wall of the aquarium tank. 7 EN 60598-2-11:2005 11.6 Construction The provisions of Section 4 of IEC 60598-1 apply, together with the requirements of 11.6.1 to 11.6.5. 11.6.1 Non-permanently attached aq
35、uarium luminaires shall have protection against ingress of moisture of at least IPX7. Only class III non-permanently attached aquarium luminaires where the working voltage does not exceed 12 V r.m.s. can be positioned in contact with or submersible in water. 11.6.2 If it is necessary to remove a per
36、manently attached aquarium luminaire or the fixed top cover frame for maintenance of the aquarium, or for replacement of the lamp, or if the tank does not have suitable drainage apertures or a cut-off mechanism, the luminaire shall have a protection against ingress of moisture of at least IPX7. A su
37、itable drainage aperture will prevent overfilling of the tank and immersion of a luminaire and will maintain the maximum water level of the tank at a distance to the luminaire of at least 15 mm. If a permanently attached aquarium luminaire, in compliance with the previous paragraph is used in a tank
38、 with suitable drainage apertures or a cut off mechanism, the protection against ingress of moisture shall be at least IP X4 for all surfaces of the luminaire which face the water. For the other surfaces of the luminaire the protection against ingress of moisture can be reduced to at least IP X2, if
39、 one of the following situations apply: the whole of the top of the tank is covered, and the luminaire is in its intended operating position (closed tank); during refilling, the permanently attached aquarium luminaire has to be moved to a position where a 10x10cm minimum access to the water is given
40、 (open tank); during refilling, by the position of the luminaire, water splashes are prevented from making contact with the surface of the luminaire. 11.6.3 Portable external parts mounted in the supply cable, for example switches or ballast units, need not comply with the IP rating of the luminaire
41、 if the cable length between the luminaire and electrical part is at least 1,0 m and the cable length between those electrical parts and the supply connector is not greater than 0,5 m. 11.6.4 Provision shall be made to prevent a permanently attached aquarium luminaire (see 11.3.3 note) becoming unfi
42、xed. Compliance shall be by the following test. For a luminaire which is intended for direct mounting of the wall of the tank a force is applied to the fixing mechanism for 1 min in the most onerous direction. During the test the fixing mechanism is mounted on test aquarium “walls” made of ordinary
43、window glass, with the minimum and maximum thickness as specified by the manufacturer. The fixing mechanism shall not start moving on the glass at a pull of 20 N. 11.6.5 If the luminaire is fitted with a switch, the switch shall be a double pole disconnection construction, except for class III lumin
