Read these instructions completely and carefully.
To avoid personal injury and/or product damage, all of the instructions below
must be followed.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
This product is rated 277-480 V, however in the US it should only be used on
branch circuits permitted in Section 210.6 of the US National Electrical Code
for E39/EX39 lamp holders. LED Retrofit Kit installation requires knowledge of
luminaire electrical systems. If not qualified, do not attempt installation.
Contact a qualified electrician. Install this kit only in luminaries that have
the construction features and dimensions shown in the drawings and where the
input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the input rating of the
luminaire. To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges
of sheet metal or other sharp objects. Do not make or alter any open holes in
an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during kit installation.
Installers should examine all parts that are not intended to be replaced by
the retrofit kit for damage and replace any damaged parts prior to
installation of the retrofit kit. THE
RETROFIT KIT IS ACCEPTED AS A COMPONENT OF A LUMINAIRE WHERE THE SUITABILITY
OF THE COMBINATION SHALL BE DETERMINED BY AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION.
PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
APPLICABLE AND APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES. THE INSTALLATION GUIDE DOES NOT
SUPERSEDE LOCAL OR NATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS.
Installers should not disconnect existing wires from lamp holder terminals,
but should cut existing lead wires away from the lamp holder and make new
electrical connections to lamp holder lead wires by employing applicable
connectors. Do not use with ballast or igniter. Ensure Misapplication fuse and
fuseholder are connected between Phase or Hot lead and the eyelet connection
of the lamp holder per the wiring diagram. Ensure Safety Tether is attached to
lamp and luminaire per instructions. Dimmable only when used with external
Variac or similar device. Do not use with Phase cut dimmers. Install this kit
only in a luminaire with a lamp compartment greater than 367 cubic inches,
approximately 9 x 6 x 7 inches rectangular or 8 inch diameter x 11 inch deep
cylindrical shaped area.
CAUTION
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
- Apply provided re-lamp caution label onto the fixture in a location where readily visible by the user during and after installation.
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, OVERHEATING OR LAMP DAMAGE
- Check the condition of the socket in the fixture. If the socket shows signs of corrosion, arcing, or any other type of damage like the pictures below, replace the socket with a new one.
- Ensure EX39 socket is spring loaded to securely grip lamp screw base. Tighten lamp securely into socket.
Save These Instructions
Use only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. Not for use in emergency
light fixtures or exit signs. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer at 1-800-327-0097.
This lamp operates from 277-480V mains. Do not connect to voltage higher than
480 volts. Do not use with ballast or igniter. Use with HID ballast or igniter
voids the warranty. Type B LED HID retrofit lamp installation with voltage
above 480 VAC or phase cut dimmer voids the warranty. Operation at high
ambient temperature may reduce lamp life. Replace fuse only with Type 5x20mm,
8A, 500Vac, Slow Blow, Littelfuse part number 0477008.MXP or equivalent.
