CLASSIFIED LOCATION INFORMATION.
MB SERIES HID BALLAST TANKS
CAUTION:
Before installing, make sure you are compliant with area classications, failure to do so may result in bodily injury,
death and property damage. Do not attempt installation until you are familiar with the following procedures. All
installation must comply with the applicable Electrical Code.
Make sure that the circuit is de-energized before starting installation or maintenance.
Verify that the installation is grounded. Failure to ground will create electrical shock hazards, which can cause
serious injury and or death.
IMPORTANT:
Before installing, check the xture nameplate to be sure you have the correct xture. Verify that there is
ground continuity in the electrical system. Refer to the xture nameplate for specic supply wire temperature
rating.

WARNING - Turn OFF the supplying circuit before
starting installation.
NOTE: All installations must comply with applicable
local and / or National Electrical Code.
1. DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
1. Using the installation drawings as a guide, make
sure the splice box is securely installed (Refer to
installation sheet supplied with splice box).
2. Hang the xture on the splice box hinge.
3. Attach the green (ground) lead to the splice box
grounding screw provided.
4. Connect supply wires to appropriate ballast tank
wire leads, using the wirenuts provided.
5. Close the ballast tank against the splice box and
tighten the screw to secure it.
6. Referring to xture nameplate, install the proper
size and type of lamp.
7. Install globe in globe threads. Band wrench
tighten 1/4 turn past hand tight.
8. Install globe guard over lugs on ballast tank, turn
until stopped. Secure by tightening screw.
9. To install reectors, back out (4) screws provided
ballast tank bosses enough to slip the reector
over the screws and twist in place. Tighten
screws to secure the reector.
10. Turn ON the supplying circuit and test the xture.
11. Seal all wire entries with a setting type of silicone
caulking, such as RTV.

Operate this xture only at the voltage of your
specic supply circuit.
NOTE: Most HID lamps need 4 to 5 minutes to
reach full lighting output. A power failure or a
large voltage drop will extinguish the arc. The
lamp will restrike after cooling for approximately
5 to 12 minutes (30 to 90 seconds for High
Pressure Sodium).
NOTE: Join or “lap” marks may form
during pouring of molten glass in the globe
manufacturing process. It is not unusual for
these marks to become visible. This is a
common and normal occurrence for large globes
and does not affect performance.

3. MAINTENANCE DATA
CAUTION - Disconnect the supplying circuit
before opening xture or removing globe for
relamping. To relamp, remove the globe guard
and globe. Replace lamp with one of the
correct type. Refer to the xture nameplate for
this information.
To maintain maximum light output, this xture
should be cleaned periodically. Maintenance
procedures sometimes require xtures to
be hosed down for good housekeeping. The
supply circuit must be turned OFF and the
xture globe must be allowed to cool to the
ambient room temperature before cleaning.
Only mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents should
be used. The force of water applied by a hose
must not exceed 65 gallons per minute coming
from a 1” diameter hose applied at a distance
of 10 feet. These periodic cleaning procedures
are important to prevent the accumulation of
dust and dirt which will impair the light output of
the xture. The glass globe should be regularly
inspected for scratches and chips and, if
damaged, must be replaced.
HIGH VIBRATION AREAS - Periodic
inspection of globe tightness is required;
recommended every six (6) months.
REMEMBER TO SAVE ONE OF THESE SHEETS FOR MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL.
