each and coloured in accordance with the following code: Accessories HPL lamps HPL lamps are tungsten halogen lamps. Important: Verify that the HPL lamp you use is suitable for the voltage at your facility. 115V, 120V, 230V, and 240V HPL lamps are available. Operating lamps above their rated voltage reduces lamp life and can cause premature lamp failure. Green and Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live WARNING! This luminaire must be earthed.

Disconnect the unit from power before installing the lamp.

Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull the housing straight out from the back of the luminaire.

Remove the HPL lamp from its box, holding it by the base. Note: To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp glass with your fingers. If you touch the lamp during installation, clean it carefully with rubbing alcohol and a clean, lint-free cloth before operation.

Line up the flat sides of the lamp base with the brackets on either side of the socket ( Figure 1

Push down on the lamp base until the lamp is firmly seated. Make sure that the lamp is fully seated, with the bottom of the lamp heat sink flush to the lamp housing casting. Caution! Improperly installed lamps cause premature lamp failure and socket problems.

CES4PAR(4Lang)Eng.fm Page 7 Tuesday, August 31, 1999 2:35 PM8 • CE Source FourPAR English CE Souce FourPAR lenses There are five available lenses for the CE Source FourPAR. The MFL lens comes installed in the luminaire; the VNSP, NSP and WFL are packed with the luminaire; and the CL (14°) is an optional accessory that you can order. The CL lens provides maximum beam intensity. You can identify the lens type or beam spread by the lens texture. Caution! Never operate the CE Source FourPAR without a lens in place. NSP VNSP MFL WFL Very narrow spot Clear glass 15° Round beam shape Narrow spot Stipple glass (slight diffuse texture) 19° Round beam shape Medium flood Fewer facets, sized 6 x 22mm 21° x 34° Oblong beam shape Wide flood Many facets, sized 6 x 12mm 30° x 51° Oblong beam shape CES4PAR(4Lang)Eng.fm Page 8 Tuesday, August 31, 1999 2:35 PMEnglish CE Source FourPAR • 9 Removing a lens Change lenses if they become cracked or badly scratched.

CE Source FourPAR lenses get hot while the unit is on. Let the luminaire cool before handling the lens.

Place the luminaire on a flat, stable work surface. Do not install or remove lenses with the unit hanging in the air.

Remove the safety screen by squeezing the screen clip with your thumb and forefinger. Pull the screen out ( Figure 2

Position the lens rotation ring with the spring clip located at the top of the unit, directly below the retaining clip ( Figure 3

Tilt the front of the luminaire down at least 45 degrees.

Press the spring clip with your finger to release the lens ( Figure 2

Allow the lens to drop forward from under the clip.

When the lens drops, remove your finger, allowing the lens to slide forward until it rests on the lens catchers ( Figure 4

Carefully remove the lens from the luminaire. Installing a lens

Position the luminaire with the front of the unit (the lens side) fac- ing you and tilted slightly ( Figure 5

Position the lens rotation ring with the spring clip located at the top of the luminaire, directly below the retaining clip.

Hold the lens by the edge, and position it so the convex side faces the back of the luminaire ( Figure 5

Note: Installing the lens with the convex side out will not impair the optics, BUT it will make lens removal difficult and reduce gel life.

From the top of the luminaire, slide the lens behind the lens catchers and position its base behind the tabs on the bottom of the lens rotation ring.

Gently push the top of the lens inward until it snaps behind the spring clip

Install the safety screen before using. To install the safety screen, squeeze the screen clip with your thumb and forefinger and place the safety screen in the lens rotation ring. The screen clip must be placed below the retaining clip ( Figure 2

CES4PAR(4Lang)Eng.fm Page 9 Tuesday, August 31, 1999 2:35 PM10 • CE Source FourPAR English Colour frame retaining clip The colour frame holder is equipped with a spring-loaded retaining clip that prevents colour frames and accessories from falling out. Important: Only hang the CE Source FourPAR with the colour frame retaining clip in the locked position ( Figure 6

Release the retaining clip by pushing it sideways. The retaining clip opens.

Press the retaining clip down until it locks into position. Cleaning the reflector Caution! Do not use glass and window cleaners on the reflector. Chemicals in these cleaners will harm the reflective coating. Caution! Do not use paper towels or harsh materials to wipe the reflector. These materials can scratch the surface of the reflector.

Remove the lamp housing. See Installing the HPL lamp

Remove the lens and safety screen so that you can access the reflector from the front of the luminaire. See Removing a lens page 9.

Remove dust with a blast of oil free air, or wipe with a clean, soft, lint-free cotton cloth. If this is not sufficient to remove dust, go to step 4. Otherwise, go to step 6.

Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cotton cloth with a mild, soapy water solution and gently wipe the reflector.

Remove any soapy water residue with a clean, soft, lint-free cotton cloth dampened with water.

Reinstall a lens and safety screen before using the luminaire.

To reinstall the lamp housing, center it on the reflector and the bolt hole, then tighten the knurled bolt to secure the lamp housing in place. WARNING! Unplug the luminaire before attempting to clean reflector.

The Portable Appliance Test is a set of tests that must be administered to electrical equipment in the UK and some locations in Europe to ensure safety. The tests are typically carried out using a small PAT device. The PAT device connects to a power source and then attaches to the product via an electrical outlet and test probes. The PAT provides a simple pass or fail result, allowing rapid testing of large inventories. The following guidelines provide instructions for applying the PAT to the Source Four PAR. Testing New Luminaires Source Four PAR luminaires now include a specific PAT point where the test clip is attached, as shown in the figure below. The PAT test is comprised of two tests: the ground test and the insulation test. Ground Test The ground test indicates the safety of the ground connection to the burner unit and reflector-housing parts. The connection could become live if the insulation failed. It is not necessary to test continuity to either the lens tube or the yoke, as these are separated by metallic shields. Follow the steps below to ground test a Source Four PAR luminaire.

Plug the luminaire into the PAT outlet and attach the test clip to the PAT point on the luminaire.

Set the PAT device to test at 10 amperes and press the GO/TEST button. If your PAT device doesn’t allow you to change the amperage, it can still be used for the test. However, the earth tether, which connects the burner assembly to the body of the unit, may get hot enough to cause injury and could become permanently discoloured. This is normal for test currents above approximately 20 amperes. The PAT device should read less than 0.5 ohms. Most Source Fours give a reading of less than 0.1 ohms, if in good condition.

You can use standard PAT devices to perform the insulation test. Follow the steps below to test the luminaire’s insulation.

Plug the luminaire into the PAT outlet and attach the test clip to the PAT point on the luminaire.
