GENERAL

This luminaire is designed for indoor applications only, and should be installed and maintained according to these instructions.

The Nuvation™ ballast is designed to operate 250W,300W, 320W, 350W and 400W pulse start and ceramic metal halide lamps with line voltages from 208-277 volts.

See nameplate for more information.

Any part damaged or broken during or after assembly or installation should be replaced.

These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to GE Lighting Solutions.

NOTE: The maximum fixture ambient temperature rating is the LESSER of the ratings indicated on the ballast and optical assemblies.

NOTICE: There are no user serviceable parts inside this ballast housing and there should not be a need to access the inside of the ballast housing.

Minimum clearance of 3 feet must be maintained below luminaire.

If the luminaire you ordered has a polycarbonate/acrylic refractor, please pay particular attention to the following statement:

All -articles made from polycarbonates/acrylics, including polycarbonate/acrylic resin, will yellow with time. The rate of yellowing is determined by the specific material, any additives and coatings, as well as the optical temperature and exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) light.

This yellowing can reduce the light output and impact resistance of products made from polycarbonate/acrylic resin. In no case should the maximum lamp age, wattage rating, or ambient rating listed for the luminaire be exceeded. Contact factory for more information.

UNPACKING

This luminaire has been properly packed to avoid damage during transit. Inspect the luminaire to confirm there is no damage. Do not install a damaged luminaire or damaged luminaire components.

NOTE: The Nuvation luminaire is supplied with a Slide-On Through Wire Box which may be included in the carton ready to install.

WET LOCATION OPTION

When installing in a wet location, it is important to properly install the Conduit with an appropriate water sealing material. The GE Lighting Systems wet location wiring box and a GE Lighting Systems wet location optical must be used.

WIRING

Make all electrical connections in accordance with the -National Electrical Code and any applicable local code requirements. Verify that the supply voltage is correct by comparing it to the ballast’s “luminaire fitting” nameplate.
