Installation Guide for Type B LED Hazardous Rated Lamp

Quick Guide

This document provides installation instructions for retrofitting existing HID luminaires with Type B LED Hazardous Rated Lamps. The process involves disconnecting the existing ballast circuitry, connecting the new LED lamp directly to incoming power, and applying the provided modification label. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.

Safety Warnings

• Risk of electrical shock or fire: Ensure the luminaire matches the features and dimensions indicated in the guide and that the input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the luminaire's rating.
• Qualified Personnel Only: Installation requires familiarity with safety procedures and electrical systems.
• Power Disconnection: Always disconnect electrical power to the luminaire at the supply source before beginning.
• Cooling: Allow the luminaire and lamp to cool before proceeding to avoid burn risks.
• No Alterations: Do not make or alter any open holes in the enclosure of wiring or electrical components during installation.

General Installation Procedure

1. Preparation: Disconnect power. Gather tools: slotted screwdriver, adjustable wrench, wire cutter, and wire stripper.
2. Access: Loosen the screw/bolt holding the ballast housing and cover together. Hinge open the ballast cover.
3. Wiring Modification: Disconnect existing wires from the ballast circuitry. Cut the existing lamp holder wires, leaving enough length to connect to the new wires. Ensure the green ground wire remains connected.
4. Connection: Strip 3/8 inch from the wires. Connect the lamp holder wires to the incoming power wires using the provided wire connectors (white to white, black to black/color).
5. Assembly: Reconnect the ballast housing hinge pin to the cover hinge. Close and secure the ballast housing, ensuring no wires are pinched.
6. Lamp Installation: Remove the old HID lamp. Install the new LED lamp, ensuring it is properly seated. Reinstall any optical assembly or guards.
7. Labeling: Refer to the Luminaire Fittings Reference Table to select the correct new label. Clean the area and apply the label to a visible location on the housing.
