Warning high leakage current earth connection essential before connecting supply

(5.1.7.1 of IEC60950-1)

Main supply must be fused according to local safety regulations. Philips recommends 2-phase fuse protection (fuses are not provided by Philips).

The appropriate fuse value can be calculated as:

Plamp × 1,5/Vin ≥ Ifuse ≥ Plamp × 1,2/Vin

LED Status indicators

LED Status	LED D1 (yellow)	LED D2 (green)	LED D3 (red)
Continuously lighting	Fan speed out of specified range, check Fan	Normal operating mode	No successful ignition happens during complete ignition sequence, ballast in standby mode, check lamp and ignitor
Flashing	Mains voltage out of specified range,check mains voltage	Ignition sequence active/waiting for auto restrike	Lamp-end-of life shutdown, replace lamp.
Reset by	Mains off *)	Not applicable	Mains off

*) After under voltage protection activation, driver start again when U_mains return to nominal value

After over voltage protection activation, driver start again when Umains will off during 30 sec. and then return to nominal value.

Behavior after over temperature shutdown: Automatic restarting after cool down.

It is essential to isolate the electronic ballast/ignitor or the connected luminaire electrically from mains voltage before maintenance!

Do not attempt to handle or operate an electronic power supply (EPS) and ignitor before completely reading and understanding this notice.

Contact Philips if you are uncertain of hazards associated with these devices.

The Ballast and the ignitor produces starting voltages of up to 11 kV and electromagnetic radiation interference which are hazardous to personnel and sensitive instrumentation.

Exercise appropriate care in the handling of high voltages. Do not touch any conductive parts during operation.

Ensure the units are disconnected from the mains before exchanging the lamp connected to the PSU / ignitor resp. in to the end application. The residual charge left on the capacitors is a danger to life if the units are still connected to mains!

Caution: The residual charge on the capacitors can be a danger to life even if the units are disconnected from the mains. Please handle with care!

Both electronic lamp ballast and ignitor must never be installed or operated in an explosive or volatile atmosphere. Never use the ballast or ignitor near flammable

gases or liquids. See that there will be no moisture, dust or similar which could lead to short circuits or fire.

Before using the ballast or ignitor in any kind of outdoor application you have to take additional measures and observe special requirements. If you are uncertain, contact Philips.

No potential isolation is provided between line input and output. Accidentally grounding of an output terminal by direct contact or arcing to GND can damage the unit (no warranty replacement).

The unit is designed for case mounting. Due observation of electrical safety and RFI suppression code requirements is mandatory in all applications.

See that sufficient cooling of EPS and ignitor is provided.

All installation and repair work on this unit is only permitted by qualified personnel. Always comply with local safety requirements when operating the unit uncased.

Extreme care must be taken when testing the unit live. The use of an isolating transformer is mandatory. On no account may grounded test instruments / meters be used for this purpose!

Philips does not assume liability for disregarding of this notice, incorrect use of the EPS and ignitor or dis-regarding of any legal requirements.
