WIRING

Plug the unit into an 120 VAC outlet and allow it to run continuously. The ballast is factory
set at 120 VAC. For installations that require 240 VAC locate the 120 / 240 volt power selector on
the ballast and set for the correct voltage. (Figure A) Connect in accordance with local wiring codes.

MAINTENANCE

This maintenance schedule is only a guideline, determined by average conditions. Actual
conditions will dictate the frequency of cleaning and/or replacement of lamps. Do not touch the
glass portion of the lamp with bare hands because oils from the hands can cause “hot spots”
which reduce lamp life. Handle either by the porcelain caps or use a soft cloth. If you
accidentally touch a lamp, wipe it off, using a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol.
