Operation LB 1wc_tx000741gb.fm 142.5 Turning ON/OFF the LightPrerequisites Ballast and power source LB 1 assembledTurning on Follow the procedure below to turn on the light.1. Connect the plug (a) of the light cord into the ballast (b). If in doubt which waythe plug should be installed, install it so that the screw (d) is facing up.2. Secure the plug to the ballast with the clamp (c). Then, plug the ballast into theGFCI-protected circuit. The bulb will reach full power in 4–5 minutes.Note: After being turned off, the lamp requires a 7–10 minute cool-down periodbefore it will re-start..Note: The capacitor charge conforms with ENEC/VDI and UL regulations. Due tothe discharge resistance at the capacitors, the capacitor is discharged within adefined period of time (approximately 30 seconds).Turning off Follow the procedure below to turn off the light.1. Unplug the ballast from the voltage source (GFCI-protected circuit). Afterapproximately 30 seconds, unplug the light from the ballast.2. Allow the lamp to cool 10 minutes, then collapse the balloon and the tripod.Note: Always collapse the balloon and the tripod after each use of the light.WARNINGElectric shock and trip hazard!f Do not allow pedestrians or vehicular traffic to cross over the electrical cords.The cords could be damaged, cut, or tripped over.CAUTIONElectric shock hazard! The ballast choke is compensated with a capacitor. Thecapacitor may produce a small spark or electric shock when discharging.f Disconnect the ballast from the power source before disconnecting the lightfrom the ballast.
