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.

WARNING! Do not use lamps other than HPL in CE Source FourPAR luminaires. Use of lamps other than HPL will void CE safety conformity and warranty.

Removing a lens

Change lenses if they become cracked or badly scratched.

WARNING! Unplug the luminaire before attempting to remove or install a lens.

1. CE Source FourPAR lenses get hot while the unit is on. Let the luminaire cool before handling the lens.
2. Place the luminaire on a flat, stable work surface. Do not install or remove lenses with the unit hanging in the air.
3. Remove the safety screen by squeezing the screen clip with your thumb and forefinger. Pull the screen out (Figure 2).
4. Position the lens rotation ring with the spring clip located at the top of the unit, directly below the retaining clip (Figure 3).
5. Tilt the front of the luminaire down at least 45 degrees.
6. Press the spring clip with your finger to release the lens (Figure 2).
7. Allow the lens to drop forward from under the clip.
8. When the lens drops, remove your finger, allowing the lens to slide forward until it rests on the lens catchers (Figure 4).
9. Carefully remove the lens from the luminaire.

Installing a lens

1. Position the luminaire with the front of the unit (the lens side) facing you and tilted slightly (Figure 5).
2. Position the lens rotation ring with the spring clip located at the top of the luminaire, directly below the retaining clip.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Gently push the top of the lens inward until it snaps behind the spring clip.
6. 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).

Portable appliance test (PAT) guidelines

What is PAT?

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.

1. Plug the luminaire into the PAT outlet and attach the test clip to the PAT point on the luminaire.
2. 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.

Figure 7

English

The Insulation test

The insulation proves that the internal insulation is in good condition. You can use standard PAT devices to perform the insulation test. Follow the steps below to test the luminaire's insulation.

1. Plug the luminaire into the PAT outlet and attach the test clip to the PAT point on the luminaire.
2. Set the PAT device to test at 500 volts D.C., then press the G0/TEST button.

A reading below 1M ohms indicates a possible or imminent failure. Moisture build-up around the lamp holder or in the connector or foreign matter accumulated around electrical connections can cause a low reading.

Why a Source Four PAR may give a fail reading

The majority of appliances must fulfill a ground resistance requirement of 0.1 ohms or less. Some simple, low-cost PAT devices assume the 0.1 requirement and do not offer a method for reading the actual resistance or for setting the fail level to 0.5 ohms. These devices may provide a fail reading for an acceptable unit if the resistance is slightly above 0.1 ohms. If in doubt, check with your PAT device supplier and verify that the PAT device can correctly test a luminaire for the 0.5 ohm condition.

How often to test

Your local regulatory authority has guidelines on the testing frequency.
