4 Operation of the ELC
4.1 Initial operation
•
The operative parameters of the ELC, such as the scope of the trigger pulse when
switching on the lamp, are set by the manufacturer.
•
You must always ensure that the correct lamp type is used (see chapter 6) and that all
wiring is properly connected!
4.2 Switching on the ELC
Special procedure necessary for initial operation after long-time storage!
If the ELC was in storage or not connected to mains voltage longer than the
maximum storage period given in chapter 6 elevated leakage currents may arise
on the electrolytic capacitors which could damage the ELC in the worst case.
Preventive measure:
Reform the electrolytic capacitors with limited current (max. 30mA) before initial
operation. Slowly increase mains voltage with a DC-power supply or variable
transformer e.g.
•
The ELC is switched on by applying the operating mains voltage and the 24V supply.
4.3 Activating the safety circuits
•
Activate the safety relay
•
Apply the initialisation signal
