55V BALLAST•GARD for 50W - 150W LX HPS Luminaires
100V BALLAST•GARD for 150W CE - 400W HPS Luminaires
APPLICATION
BALLAST•GARD™ starter cutout switch is designed for
use with 50, 70, 100 and 150 watt LX high pressure
sodium (HPS) VMVS, N2MVS and DMVS Series
Champ® and Hazard•Gard™ luminaires. The starter
cutout switch prevents starter pulsing after a maximum
time delay of five minutes if the lamp fails to start. This
eliminates continuous pulsing in the event of a cycling
lamp, dead lamp or no lamp in the socket.
WARNING
Electrical power must be OFF during installation or
maintenance. If the lamp fails to start within several
minutes, the BALLAST•GARD starter cutout switch
eliminates high voltage pulses to the lamp receptacle.
However, standard operating voltage is still present
and is a hazard.
