PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
When possible, have a licensed electrician or electrical expert install all
fixtures or aid in the electrical layout plans and/or diagrams prior to
installation.
Check the electrical panel to ensure proper voltage is available for the
number of fixtures installed. Panels should only support a total amperage
of 80% of its capacity. ie 100 amp panel should never exceed 80 amps.
For proper lamp break-in, we recommend that you run the remote ballast
and lamp at 100% power for at least 100 straight hours after initial
startup. This will improve lamp life and performance.
1. Find a suitable location for the ballast with sufficient cooling and
away from any heat source.
2. Install the lamp firmly into the lamp socket of the reflector and connect
the lamp cord to the ballast.
3. Remove the power cord from the box.
4. Plug the power cord into the power source (electrical outlet).
5. Once the lamp has fired, set your desired dimming ratio. Please note
that the ballast dims or raises output gradually to protect the lamp,
so you might not see an instant increase upon changing your output
percentage.
•
Turn the dimming dial to cycle through the dimming levels.
•
If your lamp fails to start immediately, DO NOT cycle the power on
and off. This can damage the lamp and ballast.
•
If after 30 minutes your lamp is still not lit, shut off power to the
ballast, and reconnect.
•
This will begin the startup sequence again.
•
Until the lamp has achieved at least 100 hours of operation, the lamp
should never be turned off prior to running at least 15 minutes. In
case this happens, WAIT 1 hour before igniting the lamp again.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
that the lamp is given adequate time to cool
down before it is reignited. Allow a hot lamp to cool for 1 hour before
you try to restrike it. Hot re-strikes cause permanent lamp failure and
lumen output degradations. The lamp should never be turned off before
the lamp reaches full intensity, this may shorten its lifespan.
DO NOT
install ballasts in areas of high heat, such as an attic, tent or
closed closet. Mount units at least 24-60 inches apart.
