Ballast Power
Cold Temperature Operation
The BarFly is designed to operate at temperatures from 14F to 122F
(-10C to +50C). In cold temperatures, the fixture may not strike the lamp(s).
Switch the fixture to OFF. Make sure the onboard dimmer is full up and
re-strike.
Once operating for a few minutes, the Lamps should re-strike instantly.
It is normal for the lamp to require a few minutes to achieve full light output
even at room temperature.
Troubleshooting
If the fixture does not strike after two or three attempts, turn off the fixture.
With the power switch in the ON position, the red light should be on. If it is
not, Voltage is not present. Check your power feed. The onboard dimmer
should be full up, turned completely clockwise. All lamp switches should be
in the ON position.
Check lamp contact. Once everything has been checked, re-strike.
Warning! To Ensure Proper Operation
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE FIXTURE BEFORE
connecting or disconnecting lamps. After the lamps
are properly installed, the in-line switch can be
turned on.
The BarFly fixtures require 100-240VAC 50/60
Hertz on an earth grounded circuit. The electronic
Ballast operates at a high frequency of 47kHz. The
BarFly is lightweight, flicker-free and dead-quiet.
