3.-Using
the Ballast or Adapter
Instructions sheet:
Read the following manual before operating your
Ballast or Adapter
3.1.-Installation instructions.
1.- Disconnect power. Unpack your Ballast or Adapter end check that the
out box and cables are in good condition.
2.- Locate the Ballast or Adapter place for
installation, keep the Ballast or Adapter no more than 0.50 meters away from
the Lamp and use 4Kv rated sockets, other way the lamp ignition could be
retarded or the lamp won’t start.
Screw the mounting plate, and fix the Ballast or
Adapter.
Warning: Keep the Ballast or Adapter away from
water.
3.- Select the right power to match the lamp and
Ballast or Adapter, the Ballast or Adapter is provided with a switch in the
bottom to select from 39, 50 70, and 100Watts.
Warning: selecting a wrong power switch position will make the lamp Fade out
or in the worst case a permanent lamp failure and damage, causing in some
extreme cases the inner bulb rupture that can cause serious injury or risk
of fire. The manufacturer won’t accept any further responsibility in case
of misuse.
4.- Wire the Ballast or Adapter as shown in the
picture:
Attach the green cable to ground.
Wire the White and Black cables to the Line power
120 +- 15% Vac 60Hz.
Wire the blue cables to the lamp socket.
5.-
Check the right lamp is right connected and energize the circuit.
3.2.-Operation instructions:
1.- When the 120Vac, 60Hz is applied, the
Ballast or Adapter will start the lamp during the first seconds, then the lamp
will gradually increment the power until the lamp reaches the operating power,
this can take several minutes depending of the lamp conditions.
2.- If the lamp does not start in the first
start cycle, or is turned off, the Ballast or Adapter will make starting cycles
each minute until the Lamp turns on again.
Warning: Each start cycle makes the Ballast or Adapter voltage rises up to 4,000V.
3.- If the energy fails the lamp will turn off
up to 20 Minutes until it cools and it will start again.
Warning: Avoid operating the Ballast or Adapter without Lamp, in short circuit, or with any of the blue wires attached to neutral. Do not operate without the cover removed.
5.- Replace the Lamp before end of rated life.
3.3.-Servicing instructions:
This
Ballast or Adapter won’t need regular service, but in case of failure, remove
power and replace the Lamp with a new
one.
If the failure is still present you may check the fuses located under the
Ballast or Adapter cover, consult a professional to make any electrical work,
risk of electrical shock.
1.-
Remove the power.
2.-
Remove the Ballast or Adapter cover removing the four corner screws.
3.-
Check each one of the 3 fuses located as in the figure.
4.-
Replace with same rating fuses.
Warning: Replace with same rating fuses 250V-1A or risk of serious damage or fire.
5.-
Screw the cover
6.-
Energize the circuit.
- This adapter generates High voltage pulses up
to 4000V when the lamp is not present. Never operate the adapter without
the lamp connected, and disconnect power before changing the lamp or servicing
to avoid serious injury or death.
- Metal Halide lamps are constructed of glass
bulb with an internal arc tube made of quartz. This tubes operates under
high pressure (5 ATM) and temperature (900oC). The arc tube may unexpectedly
rupture due to internal causes or external factors. When this occurs,
the arc tube surrounding the arc tube may break and particles of extremely
hot quartz from the arc tube and glass fragments from the glass bulb may
be discharged into the fixture enclosure and possibly the surrounding
environment, thereby creating a risk of personal injury or other hazard.
- RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORE THE END OF RATED
LIFE Allowing lams to operate until they fail is not advised and may increase
the possibility of inner arc tube rupture.
- Replace with same rating fuses 250V-1A or risk
of serious damage or fire.
- Avoid operating the Ballast or Adapter without
Lamp, in short circuit, or with any of the blue wires attached to neutral.
Do not operate without the cover removed.
- Selecting a wrong power switch position will
make the lamp Fade out or in the worst case a permanent lamp failure and
damage causing in some extreme cases the inner bulb rupture that can cause
serious injury or risk of fire. The manufacturer won’t accept any further responsibility
in case of misuse.
- Keep the Ballast or Adapter away from water.
