7.0  Troubleshooting

In the table below, a number of problems are listed in the first column. In the second column, you will find the possible causes

of the problem and in the third column the solution:

CAUTION

Before attempting to service, de-energize and lockout the series circuit or the regulator so that the fixture can not be

energized by remote means.

Problem

Possible cause

Solution

Lamp does not energize.

Lamp defective

Replace lamp.

Loose or broken contact or connector

Tighten or replace the contacts or connector.

Moisture present in fixture

Open up and dry, inspect lens for cracks.

Check the gaskets.

Check that the drainage hole, in the bottom of the

optical cartridge, is not obstructed.

Deteriorated wire insulation

Replace wires.

Defective isolation transformer

Check transformer secondary current (in short-circuit)

with true RMS Ammeter.

Short lamp life

(UEL-1-150): Too high current (lamp will have black

burns)

Check output current of isolating transformer at full

brightness. Current should not exceed 6.7 A.

Replace transformer if defective; if not, adjust CCR

output current.

Moisture in assembly

Open up and dry, inspect lens for cracks.

Check the gaskets.

Check that the drainage hole, in the bottom of the

optical cartridge, is not obstructed.

Defective lamp or lamp bulb touched with bare fingers

(lamp interior will have a yellow-white powdery

appearance if air has entered through a hole or crack)

Replace lamp.
