TROUBLE CHART
NORMAL OPERATION
WHEN THE SWITCH in the main AC supply line to the xenon power supply is in the ON
position, and the 30 A. circuit breaker on the switching power supply is ON, the POWER lights on the xenon
power supply and the lamphouse instrument panel will glow. The lamphouse blowers will start. The blowers
in the power supply will operate.
WHEN THE LAMP
SWITCH is placed in the ON position, the AC control circuit (2 & 6)
in the lamphouse will energize the power supply circuitry providing DC current to the igniter and bulb. The
green “GO” light on the xenon power supply indicates a completed circuit.
THERE WILL BE a distinctly audible high voltage arc ping at the igniter arc gap and across
the bulb electrodes. The bulb should ignite immediately after one or two of these high voltage pulses, and the
lamp current will adjust to the output setting of the xenon power supply. Multiple ignition pulses prior to bulb
ignition normally indicate a low DC output setting; increase output to the bulb’s initial (“nominal”) current
setting; see xenon power supply manual. A “warm” or aged xenon bulb might also require multiple strikes.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
IF THE XENON BULB does not ignite, observe the following operational sequences for as-
sistance in locating and isolating the trouble area.
WHEN THE FANS and the indicator light on the power supply are on, the circuit in the power
supply is trouble-free up to the terminal block in the power supply. At this time, the spotlight blowers should
operate. If this does not occur, the trouble is in one of the blower motors, a loose connection, or a broken
#7 or #8 lead (220 V.AC). Check at this time for 220 V.AC blower voltage at wires 7 & 8, and 220 V.AC at
the lamphouse quick-disconnect pins 9 & 10.
CAUTION: exercise extreme caution when taking voltage
measurements in a power ON condition.
A DEFECTIVE DIGITAL DISPLAY will not prevent bulb ignition.
IF THE HIGH VOLTAGE PING or the ignition flash is not apparent, check voltages on the
terminal board behind the display. A reading of 120-170 V.DC “no load” should be measured between #6 and
#7, and 115 V.AC between #9 and #10. If these voltages are not indicated, the problem is in the leads between
the lamphouse and power supply, or in the power supply boost circuit. See the trouble shooting section of the
power supply manual for additional instructions.
THE SWITCHING-TYPE XENON POWER SUPPLY furnished with the spotlight system
includes thermal overload switches and protection circuits to prevent damage resulting from high or low input
voltage. Loss of DC open circuit voltage, or an interruption of DC sustaining current, may be traced to these
circuits. See the power supply manual.
IF THE HIGH VOLTAGE ARC is audible at the lamphouse and the bulb does not
flash, check
for a lamphouse DC lead arcing to ground. If no ground fault is detected, replace the bulb and attempt ignition
with the new bulb.
