The fixture incorporates Soft Start Technology for a smooth and safe start-up process, as well as Ignition Failure Protection for added safety.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Always have an expert install your ILUMINAR Lighting CMH Fixture.
2. Ensure that the power cord is correctly connected, and the lamp is securely in place.
3. Prior to moving the unit or performing any maintenance or lamp changes, disconnect the fixture from the power supply.
4. Do not open the ballast case, as it will void the warranty.
5. Avoid supporting the ballast by power cords, as they are not designed to bear weight.
6. Do not make contact with the interior of the socket while power is on.
7. Do not attempt to rewire, alter, modify, or reconfigure your system, as this can void the warranty and create safety hazards.
8. Avoid submerging the fixture in water.
9. Only connect the CMH Ballast to the designated voltage specified on the ballast. Using untested or unidentified voltage can cause electrical failure.
10. Do not connect a CMH Ballast to a Flip Box, as it will void the warranty and may cause electrical failure.
11. Avoid plugging or unplugging the lamp cord while the ballast is connected to power.
12. When changing the lamp, allow it to cool before touching.
13. Ensure that the lamp is correctly locked into the socket to secure it properly.
14. If the lamp is damaged in any way, such as cracks or loose internal connections, replace it immediately.
15. Keep the fixture away from children as it contains delicate electronic components. It may cause interference if placed near objects that transmit radio signals (e.g., mobile devices, walkie talkies, CB radios, remote controls, and microwaves).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

• PLEASE READ CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
• When possible, have a licensed electrician or electrical expert install all fixtures or aid in the electrical layout plans and/or diagrams prior to installation.
• Check the electrical panel to ensure proper voltage is available for the number of fixtures installed. Panels should only support a total amperage of 80% of its capacity. (100 amp panel should never exceed 80 amps).

1. Find a suitable location for the fixture with sufficient cooling and away from heat sources.
2. Use the included hanging cables to hang the fixture.
3. Ensure the fixture is hung completely level to the ground. A fixture that is not level can burn the lamp emitter incorrectly leading to shorter lamp life, poor lamp performance and/or lamp failures.
4. Install the lamp into the roll-lock socket (instructions pages 6-7) using soft cotton or surgical gloves.
5. Plug the power cord into the power source (electrical outlet).
6. For proper lamp break-in, we recommend that you run the fixture at 100% power for at least 100 straight hours after initial startup. This will improve lamp life and performance.
7. Set your desired dimming ratio.

NOTE: the ballast dims or raises output gradually to protect the lamp, so you may not see an instant increase upon changing your output percentage

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

DIMMING

• Turn the dimming dial to cycle through the dimming levels.
• If your lamp fails to start immediately, DO NOT cycle the power on and off. This can damage the lamp and ballast.
• If after 30 minutes your lamp is still not lit, shut off power to the ballast, and reconnect.
• This will begin the startup sequence again.
• Until the lamp has achieved at least 100 hours of operation, the lamp should never be turned off prior to running at least 15 minutes. In case this happens, WAIT 1 hour before igniting the lamp again.

HOT RESTRIKE

• IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that the lamp is given adequate time to cool down before it is reignited. Allow a hot lamp to cool for 1 hour before you try to restrike it. Hot re-strikes cause permanent lamp failure and lumen output degradations. The lamp should never be turned off before the lamp reaches full intensity, this may shorten its lifespan.

MOUNTING LOCATION

• DO NOT install fixtures in areas of high heat, such as an attic, tent or closed closet. Mount units at least 24-60 inches apart.

PROPRIETARY ROLL LOCK SOCKET

(ILUMINAR LIGHTING FIXTURES)

ILUMINAR Lighting created the first of its kind, single-handed “Roll-Lock” socket for simple, one-handed lamp installation. We know it can get tricky to load new lamps – it’s too easy to drop the lamp and lose that investment. Keep your lamps safe when you install using the Roll Lock socket. The Roll Lock Socket works with all DE Lamps – HPS, MH, and CMH, for all wattage options .

ROLL LOCK SOCKET INSTALLATION

1. Slide both levers away from the lamp to the “Open” position.(Photo A) Each socket applies up to 5mm of lateral pressure to ensure a secure fit.
2. Ensure both wire ends/leads are straight – DO NOT BEND THE WIRE LEADS! Ensure the wire leads are NOT FRAYED OR LOOSE (if there are frays, twist them back into the wire leads). Small frays of metal can cause the fixture to arc or melt.
   • CAUTION: DO NOT HANDLE THE LAMP WITH BARE HANDS
   • The oils from your hands can be dangerous when burning off in the high heat of the lamp.
3. Using soft gloves to handle the lamp, slide the lamp into the fixture (with metal leads straight) until the lamp is fully seated.
4. Rotate the bulb, itself, to lock it into place (so that it will not move).
5. Slide both socket levers toward the lamp to the “closed” position to add a second lock to fix the lamp into position. If the lamp is seated correctly, both levers should easily slide inward to lock the DE lamp into the socket. It is now ready to use.

• DO NOT force the levers closed, this can cause damage to both the lamp and the levers. DO NOT handle the lamp with bare hands. Always wear surgical or cloth gloves when handling the lamp to minimize fingerprints and oils left on the lamp. If the lamp needs cleaning after installation, use a soft, dry cotton cloth to wipe off fingerprints/skin oils.

ROLL LOCK SOCKET UNINSTALL

1. To remove or change the lamp, simply follow the steps above.
2. Slide both socket levers away from the lamp to the “Open” position.(Photo A)
3. USING SURGICAL OR COTTON GLOVES, gently rotate the lamp itself to open the Roll Lock Socket.
4. Gently lift the lamp out of the sockets.
5. Rotate the new bulb into place.
6. Slide both socket levers toward the lamp to the “closed” position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Follow these troubleshooting solutions: Possible Cause/Corrective Maintenance

Lamp Loose in Socket| Ensure the lamp is fully inserted into the socket and that it has been properly locked.
---|---
Incorrect Voltage| Make sure you’re using the correct input voltage with ballast. If using incorrect voltage, disconnect the ballast from the power source immediately.
Defective or Improper Wiring| Examine wiring to ensure it agrees with wiring diagrams on ballast label. Check connections to see that they are secure. If wiring a ballast, DO NOT use a neutral. The correct wiring is two hot wires and a ground.
Poor electrical connections| Check wiring and lamp contact with socket.
Incorrect Lamp| Verify that you’re using a correct wattage lamp.
Lamp Damage| Investigate possibility of outer lamp damage. Look for broken tubes or loose metal replace lamp.
