Turning ON/OFF the Light
Prerequisites
Ballast and power source
LB 1 assembled
Turning on
Follow the procedure below to turn on the light.
1. Connect the plug
(a)
of the light cord into the ballast
(b)
. If in doubt which way
the plug should be installed, install it so that the screw
(d)
is facing up.
2. Secure the plug to the ballast with the clamp
(c)
. Then, plug the ballast into the
GFCI-protected circuit. The bulb will reach full power in 4–5 minutes.
Note:
After being turned off, the lamp requires a 7–10 minute cool-down period
before it will re-start.
.
Note:
The capacitor charge conforms with ENEC/VDI and UL regulations. Due to
the discharge resistance at the capacitors, the capacitor is discharged within a
defined period of time (approximately 30 seconds).
Turning off
Follow the procedure below to turn off the light.
1. Unplug the ballast from the voltage source (GFCI-protected circuit). After
approximately 30 seconds, unplug the light from the ballast.
2. Allow the lamp to cool 10 minutes, then collapse the balloon and the tripod.
Note:
Always collapse the balloon and the tripod after each use of the light.
WARNING
Electric shock and trip hazard!
f
Do not allow pedestrians or vehicular traffic to cross over the electrical cords.
The cords could be damaged, cut, or tripped over.
CAUTION
Electric shock hazard! The ballast choke is compensated with a capacitor. The
capacitor may produce a small spark or electric shock when discharging.
f
Disconnect the ballast from the power source before disconnecting the light
from the ballast.
