freight damage which should be brought to
the attention of the delivery carrier. Com­pare the catalog description listed on the
packing slip with the label on the carton to
ensure you have received the correct mer­chandise.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

For Your Protection, Read Carefully

WARNING - Risk of fire. Do not install insu­lation within 3 inches of fixture sides or
wiring compartment, nor above the fixture
in such a manner as to entrap heat.

1. Electric current can cause painful shock
or serious injury unless handled properly.
For your safety, always remember the fol­lowing:

· Turn off the power supply.

· Ground the fixture to avoid potential
electrical shocks.

· Do not handle an energized fixture or
energize any fixture with wet hands,
when standing on a wet or damp sur­face, or in water.

· Double check all electrical connections
to be sure they are tight and correct.

2. Specific safety information concern­ing lamps:

· Match wattage of fixture and lamp ex-

actly.

· Do not remove or insert lamp when power

is on.

· Do not scratch glass or subject lamp to

undue pressure as either may cause
lamp breakage.

· Protect operating lamp from sources

of moisture.

New Installation for APR Reflector

1. The GRS mounting frame utilizes an ad­justable, flatspring, yoke assembly to re­tain the reflector into the ceiling as
shown in Figure 2. The yoke assembly
must be properly installed onto the
mounting frame. Refer to the INSTAL­LATION INSTRUCTIONS included in the
mounting frame for proper yoke instal­lation.

2. The yoke assembly is preset at the fac­tory for a ceiling thickness up to 1-5/8".
For other ceiling thickness, adjust the
yoke assembly by loosening the screws
on the yoke and moving the yoke down­ward equal to the difference of the ceil­ing thickness minus 1-5/8" (ex. 3" ceiling
thickness minus 1-5/8" = 1-3/8"). Refer to
scale on the yoke assembly for ease of
adjustment.

3. The socket cup is factory installed to
the flat spring. Pull socket cup down
into the ceiling opening until the flat
spring is fully extended as shown in Fig­ures 2 and 3.

4. Attach socket cup to top of reflector by
aligning and engaging spring in socket
cup with slots in top of reflector as
shown in Figure 1. Lamp type markings
are located near the slots in top of re­flector for proper positioning of socket
cup for optimum light distribution. If QRS
is included, install socket cup and neck
so that lamp bracket aligns with reflec­tor slot as shown in Figure 5.

5. Install appropriate lamp as determined
by position of the socket cup/lamp type
marking on the reflector. For APR4 PAR30
and APR6 PAR38, remove reflector trim
from trim neck by twisting reflector
clockwise. Install lamp. Reverse proce­dure for re-assembly of reflector. Be­cause reflector must be removed for re­lamping, a re-lamping pole cannot be
used. WARNING: Do not exceed the
wattage restrictions. If socket cup
adjustment is required: reach inside of
reflector, compress springs in socket cup
and move to appropriate reflector slot.

6. Push reflector through the ceiling open­ing until the flat spring pulls it up to the
ceiling as shown in Figure 4.

7. If reflector does not rest tightly against
the ceiling, remove the reflector (See
step 8), adjust the yoke assembly up­ward and re-attach reflector.

8. To remove the reflector: pull reflector
downward until the flat spring is fully
extended, remove lamp, reach inside of
reflector, compress springs in socket cup
and remove socket cup from reflector.

APR, Reflector Installation Instructions

TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART

Check for any visible damage to the lamp or frame-in module. If they seem in good condition, locate the problem in the following list
for possible causes and corrective actions.

Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

Lamp will not start •Incorrect lamp or ballast •Compare ballast/lamp label against lamp type.
or starts slowly •Lamp is loose in socket •Back lamp out and retighten.

•Incorrect or loose wiring •Power off, check for proper connections. Connect fixture lead marked for proper voltage
to voltage supply lead. Connect white or lead marked COM to neutral supply.

•Lamp at or near end of life •Replace with new lamp. HPS lamp will cycle on and off as lamp reaches end of life. MH lamp
will suffer severe color change as lamp nears end of life.

•Line or ballast output •Check line voltage at fixture. Check open circuit voltage.

•Faulty ballast •Check circuit continuity.

•Starter circuit failed •Replace lamp with known good lamp.

•Ambient temperature too low •Check ballast rating against existing environmental conditions.

Cycling (lamp turns •Lamp at end of life •Replace with new lamp.
on and off) •Incorrect lamp or ballast •Compare fixture and lamp label for matching wattage and

source. Compare fixture and system voltage rating.

•Ballast output voltage low •Check line voltage at the fixture. Check open circuit voltage.

•Incorrect lamp operating •Check lamp specifications for proper operating position.

position (Metal Halide)

•Line voltage variations •Check incoming voltage with recording voltmeter (if this is the problem, check other
equipment on same circuit).

Low Lamp Output •Lamp end of life •Replace with new lamp.

•Line voltage or ballast •Check line voltage at fixture. Check open circuit voltage.

output voltage

•Incorrect lamp or ballast •Compare fixture and lamp label for matching wattage and source. Compare fixture and
system voltage rating.

Short Lamp Life •Incorrect lamp or ballast •Compare fixture and lamp label for matching wattage and

source. Compare fixture and system voltage rating.

•Line voltage or ballast output •Check line voltage at the fixture. Check open circuit voltage

voltage too low

•Lamp operates less than 10 hrs. •Rated lamp life is based on 10 hours of operation per start. General rule for expected lamp
life is 50% reduction in burn time per start results in 25% reduction in lamp life.
