WIRING
Make all electrical connections in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and any applicable
local code requirements.
Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it
to nameplate.
When changing voltage on reconnectable units,
move only the lead with the insulated connector.
IF SINGLE VOLTAGE:
All single voltage ballasts are pre-wired such that user
need only connect the supply conductors.
IF MULTIVOLT: (120/208/240/277 volts)
Connect the ballast lead with the insulated terminal to
the desired voltage terminal as indicated on the ballast
terminal nameplate.
IF MULTIWATT:
Multiwatt ballasts are available in various combinations
of wattage. See wiring instructions on wiring tag inside
the luminaire.
BALLAST HOUSING INSTALLATION
Slip ballast housing hinge pin over cover hinge. Mate
electrical connectors and swing unit shut. Tighten ballast
cover screw securely.
LAMP INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Risk of burn
• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before
handling
Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe
lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and restrictions on lamp operation, particularly ballast type,
burning position, etc.
Lamp Tightness – Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp should
be securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35
inch-pounds, which is best achieved by very firmly
tightening to insure application of sufficient torque.
Tightening must be sufficient to fully depress and load the
center contact of the socket.
Lamp Tightness – Medium Base Lamp: The lamp
should be tightened to a light firmness sufficient to depress
the center contact.
OPTICALS
CAUTION: GLOBE IS TEMPERED GLASS. DO NOT
SCRATCH OR CHIP.
Glass Globe—Attach globe by threading firmly into
bottom of ballast housing.
Industrial Reflector Type EN—Thread reflector firmly
into ballast housing. Lamp may be replaced via glass
clampband assembly.
Prismatic Refractor Assembly Type V, R or L—Thread
adaptor firmly into housing ballast housing. To orient
asymmetrical glass, loosen clamping screws, turn glass and
retighten screws. To relamp, unscrew complete optical
from ballast housing.
ACCESSORIES
External Reflectors—Insert mounting screws. Orient
reflector to proper position and slip over mounting screws.
Turn reflector and tighten screws securely.
Globe Guard—Insert protective guard into ballast
housing and turn until retained by detent.
MAINTENANCE
It will occasionally be necessary to clean optical assembly
in order to maintain light levels. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on dirt levels in user’s facility and minimum light
levels which are acceptable. Reflector should be cleaned
with any suitable non-abrasive solution of water and soap or
detergent. Residual cleaning agent should be removed with
clean water rinsing. Glassware may be cleaned with any
conventional glass cleaner. If unit gets soiled on inside, it
should be cleaned and any damaged gasket or filter replaced.
