TROUBLESHOOTING
If this fixture fails to operate properly, check to make sure:
- The correct lamp is properly installed.
- The fixture is wired correctly.
- The lamp is not faulty.
- The fixture is grounded correctly.
- The line voltage at the fixture is correct.
CAUTION: The maximum ambient temperatures of the reflectors is:
- 40°C – PA22C, PA25D, PA22GLE, PA25ALE, PA25ALEF
- 55°C – A20, P20, A23, P23, A26, P26, A30, P30, A121, A125, A162, A165, A162OB, A165OB
- 65°C – E17, E22
CAUTION: Observe lamp manufacturer’s recommendations/restrictions on lamp
operation, particularly ballast type, burning position, etc.
NOTE: This instruction sheet explains optical installation. For
electrical information refer to the industrial housing instruction sheet
included with ballast housing.
- PA22C and PA25D opticals utilize phosphor coated Metal Halide lamps and etched High Pressure Sodium lamps.
CAUTION: A Auxiliary Quartz Option (QRS, QRSTD, & EC) TX housings with the following opticals PA25ALEF, PA22GLE, PA25ALE is equipped with QRS extension that needs to be installed prior to installing optical. A Auxiliary Quartz Option (QRS, QRSTD, & EC) TX housings with the following opticals A30F, A20, P20, A26, P26, A30, P30 A23, PA22C, PA25D, A125, A121, A125OB, A121OB, A165, A162, A165OB, A162OB need to have the equipped extension bracket removed/discarded prior to installing optical.
- Attach the reflector to the ballast housing. Be sure the keyhole slots have been fully rotated to engage screwheads in the narrow portion of the keyhole. Tighten all 4 screws securely .
- Prior to installing the lamp (not included) in the fixture, check to be sure the lamp is of the proper type and wattage. Screw the lamp securely into the socket, back the lamp out one to two turns, then screw the lamp back in, making sure it is secure. This properly seats the lamp in the socket.
- Attach the lens to the reflector by first inserting the lens hinge into the receptacle found on the lip of the reflector, then close the lens against the reflector and secure the lens latches to the reflector.
- For additional security, a #10 screw (provided by others) can be inserted into the hinge receptacle to prevent the lens from getting knocked out of the hinge receptacle.
LAMP INSTALLATION
Be certain power supply is not engaged when installing or replacing lamps.
Prior to installing the lamp in the fixture, check fixture markings to be
certain the lamp is the correct type and wattage. Screw the lamp securely into
the socket, back it out one or two turns, then screw lamp back in, making sure
it is secure. This procedure properly seats lamp in the socket. For QRS and EC
options, be certain quartz lamp wattage does not exceed wattage rating of
fixture. Push lamp into socket and depress, twist clockwise and release.
CAUTION: The use of lubricants on lamp bases or sockets can cause pre-
mature lamp failure and voids fixture warranty.
- Replace failed lamp promptly. Failure to do so can shorten the life of electrical components.
EMERGENCYCIRCUIT OPTION: Emergency circuit quartz socket leads are wired
to an auxiliary power circuit. Be certain that auxiliary power supply is not
engaged when installing or replacing quartz lamps.
REFLECTOR /LENS MAINTENANCE: Periodically clean to maintain optimum
performance and to promote maximum optic life. For acrylic optics, use a water
dampened cloth only because cleaner ingredients may diminish acrylic
integrity. For aluminum optics, clean with a mild, non- abrasive cleaner.
IMPORTANT METAL HALIDE LAMP INFORMATION
Certain metal halide lamps require the use of a suitably enclosed luminaire
and/or must be operated in accordance with specific guidelines that have been
established by the lamp manufacturer. NFPA 70B, “Recommended Practice for
Electrical Equipment Maintenance,” Section 15-5.2, states, “Metal halide lamps
are constructed of an outer bulb with an internal arc tube made of quartz. The
arc tube operates under high pressure at very high temperatures – as high as
approximately 1,100 degrees Celsius. The arc tube and outer bulb can
unexpectedly rupture if the lamp is misapplied. In continuously operating
systems (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), lamps should be turned off once per
week for at least 15 minutes. Failure to do this increases the risk of
rupture.” Refer to lamp manufacturer for specific warnings and
recommendations.
Reference Standards – “American National Standard for Electric Lamps –
High Intensity Discharge Lamps, Methods of Designation,” ANSI C78.380, Annex
B, defines E, S and O type lamps.
- Lamps classified as E type are to be used only in suitably rated enclosed luminaires.
- Lamps classified as S type may be used in open luminaires in certain applications, when operated in the specified near vertical position. This category of lamps is limited only to certain lamps in the 350 to 1000 watt range.
- Lamps classified as O type, with quartz arc tubes, comply with “American National Standard for Electric Lamps –High Intensity Discharge, Methods of Measuring Characteristics,” ANSI Standard C78.389, for containment testing and may be used in open luminaires.
To determine the appropriate selection of a metal halide lamp, refer to all of the lamp manufacturer’s warning and cautionary statements regarding the use of the lamp in your specific application.
