INSTALLATION:
1. Mounting:
•
This light is intended to mount on a suitable base, such as the CD-BS-2, sold
separately.
•
Install the mounting base and attach the CD-FX-HID-1 fixture using the hardware
supplied with the mounting base.
•
Ensure the fixture is aimed properly and all hardware is tightened very securely.
Failure to tighten the hardware properly could allow it to loosen in service.
•
Connect the power lead to a suitable power source of nominal 12 VDC, observing
polarity (red +, black -), and ensuring that the connections are waterproof.
•
After mounting, test the fixture for proper operation.
MAINTENANCE & USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
2. Lamp and Ballast Maintenance:
•
Make sure power is off before performing any maintenance on the fixture.
HID
fixtures produce extremely high voltage (greater than 24,000V) during operation.
•
Remove the lensframe screw and nut, and set them aside for reuse later.
•
Gently flex the lensframe outward, and pull it straight off. Be careful not to twist or
deform the lensframe when removing it.
•
The lamp is attached to the reflector with one screw. If the lamp requires
replacement, then simply remove the mounting screw, replace the old lamp with a
new one, and replace the mounting screw. Make sure that the new lamp is oriented in
the same direction as the old lamp.
•
The lamp and ballast are connected by wires with quick-connects. If any of these
wires are damaged, then both the ballast and lamp must be replaced. Do not attempt
to repair damaged wires.
•
The ballast is held in place with two small brackets. To remove the ballast, remove
the screws and brackets, and pull the ballast straight out. Install a new ballast by
pushing the ballast straight in. Secure it by replacing the two screws and brackets.
•
When maintenance has been completed, first ensure that all electrical connections are
secured properly before proceeding.
