XG4/024
Bulb fails to ignite.
1.
AC power not on to lamphouse. Turn switching power supply 30 A. circuit breaker ON. If 230 V.AC
not read at 1 & 2, or POWER indicator not glowing, see power supply manual.
2.
Faulty “ON-OFF” switch. Check for voltage at terminal block positions 9 & 10; check for loose
terminals or wiring. Replace if defective.
3.
Low AC source voltage actuating “brownout” protection circuit in xenon power supply.
Bulb fails to ignite; ping audible, bulb flash visible.
1.
Inadequate DC output from xenon power supply. Set power supply output to correct range required
for bulb wattage (120-150 A. for 4000 watt). Do not exceed 150 A.
2.
If bulb flash is visible but faint, check for defective printed circuit board in igniter. Replace if defective.
3.
Faulty or expired xenon bulb. Replace as required.
Bulb fails to ignite; ping audible, no bulb flash.
1.
Faulty xenon bulb. Check for cracked electrodes or darkened envelope. Replace if defective.
2.
Ignition pulse shorting to ground. Inspect DC leads for burned insulation; dress leads away from
grounded metal components.
No high voltage ping audible; LAMP switch in “ON.”
1.
Loss of AC control voltage. Check xenon power supply for tripped circuit breaker or open thermal
switch. See power supply manual.
2.
Lamphouse top cover interlock switch open. Top cover must be closed and both latches secured.
3.
Xenon power supply “GO” light not glowing. See power supply manual.
4.
Little or no DC “No Load” voltage. Measure DC “No Load” voltage at 6 & 7. See power supply
manual.
5.
Open fuse F1 (10 A.) on switching power supply primary PC board. SEE POWER SUPPLY MANUAL.
Allow (20) minutes for capacitor discharge before replacing.
6.
Loose spark gap connections or terminals. Repair or replace igniter PC board as required.
IF THE HIGH VOLTAGE ARC is audible at the lamphouse, the flash of the bulb is apparent,
but ignition of the bulb is not sustained, the problem area is in the power supply. See the trouble shooting
section of the power supply manual for additional instructions.
IF THE HIGH VOLTAGE ARC is
not
audible or the flash of the bulb visible, the problem is
in the igniter assembly.
EXCHANGE of components (i.e. igniters, printed circuit boards) between similar Strong
Xenon Gladiators to aid in diagnosis of a problem is encouraged. This will not lead to equipment damage,
and will not void equipment warranty.
