HSD-250 Discharge lamp
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.
AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of
the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average
current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be
powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run
off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0%
to 100% switch. Before applying power to a fixture,
check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s
requirement. Check the fixture or device carefully to
make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it
is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the internal multi-tap transformer
is set to match the line voltage applied. All
fixtures must be connected to circuits with a
suitable Earth Ground.
