2. False Alarm
for; Water ingress from either rain, or leaks or any
signs of moisture or condensation in/around the
electricals. Due to the elevated temperature of the
lamp, high humidity may cause condensate to form.
If there are no signs of leaking, check for signs of
shorts or charring on the lamp connection with the
ballast. Lastly inspect the tube to see if there are any
dark patches or if the filaments are burnt out.
2.
Sometimes the ballast may trigger a failure alarm
if the connection to the lamp is interrupted or
perhaps the connection is not solid enough. If the
above steps reveal no faults and the lamp is still
working (lighting up), turn the power off for 5
minutes, check connections and then turn it back on
to see if the fault clears.
No Lights on Ballast
1. Ballast Failure
2. Interrupted power
supply
1.
In the event of a large surge it is possible that the
ballast failed. This can also occur from shorts and
water ingress. Check for signs of a short around the
lamp connection end. The ballast will need to be
replaced. The UV lamp may also have blown at the
same time, or could be the cause for the ballast
failure – for safety it is best to replace both the lamp
and ballast together. If it is within Warranty period
please contact the manufacturer for further
instructions.
2.
Check the wall socket with a different electrical
appliance to check if the GPO is functioning. Also
check your circuit breaker to see if any switches are
off.
Lamp is working but
the ballast is
alarming
1. Faulty Lamp
2. Faulty Ballast
1.
The lamp may be lighting up but not working at its
full capacity which may be caused by it not drawing
enough power from the ballast. The lamp will require
replacement. Turn the system off, check
connections and turn back on to see if it fixes the
alarm.
2.
The ballast could have a problem with the lamp
failure protection and may require replacement. Turn
the system off, check connections and turn back on
to see if it fixes the alarm
