(ANSI) that the requirem
13、ents for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards R

24、mly 2 SAFETY Personal safety and the safety of the public should be the troubleshooters first consideration. Personal protective equipment should be worn at all times while servicing HID luminaires, including but not limited to electrical gloves properly rated for the voltage expected to be encounte
25、red and eye protection. Extreme care must be taken regarding the surroundings as well since many luminaires are mounted close to energized electrical distribution equipment and in high vehicular traffic areas. One should follow all applicable work zone protection guidance. 3 SUMMARY OF POSSIBLE ACTI
26、ONS (ASSUMING DAYLIGHT TROUBLESHOOTING) When troubleshooting, it is advisable to use components such as lamps, starters, and photocontrols that have been previously tested and are known to be in working order. Occasionally, new, out-of-the-box components will be defective. Using tested components wi
27、ll prevent the introduction of a second problem into a system that already contains at least one problem. a) Lamp on continuously (“day burner”) 1. Replace photocontrol with a new one of correct ANSI type and voltage and leave uncovered. If lamp continues to burn, then: 2. Check for loose or broken
28、neutral from luminaire supply to photocontrol socket. b) Lamp cycles on and off 1. Replace lamp with new lamp of correct ANSI type and wattage. If lamp continues to cycle, then: 2. Check for loose connections, including “seating” the lamp in the socket. If lamp continues to cycle, then: 3. Check tha
29、t the photocontrol is correctly wired and that load and line are not reversed. Then: 4. Check for line voltage fluctuations. Then: 5. Ensure that photocontrol photo cell is not aimed at a highly reflective surface or another light source. Follow-up inspection at night may be necessary to ensure prop
30、er photocontrol aiming. c) Lamp will not start 1. Check that supply voltage matches the ballast installed. Then: 2. Check for proper photocontrol operation. If lamp does not start, then: 3. Visually inspect the ballast for burned windings. If ballast appears undamaged, then: 4. Replace lamp with kno
31、wn good lamp of proper ANSI type and wattage. If lamp does not start, then: 5. Check supply voltage at the luminaire terminal strip and at the luminaire control receptacle. If lamp does not start, then: ANSI C136.26-2010 (R2015) Page 2 6. Check the luminaire wiring for loose or broken wires. If lamp
32、 does not start, then: 7. Check lamp socket voltage with lamp removed and photocontrol covered and compare to voltages listed in Table 1. CAUTIONIF LUMINAIRE IS EQUIPPED WITH IGNITER, DISCONNECT IGNITER BEFORE TESTING VOLTAGE WITH VOLTMETER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO METER. If open-circuit voltage is in ran
33、ge for the type ballast as listed in Table 1, replace the igniter (if so equipped), then: 8. If the lamp fails to start, replace the luminaire. d) Lamp burns dimly 1. Check for low supply line voltage. If voltage is correct and lamp continues to burn dimly, then: 2. Ensure that the luminaire voltage
34、 rating and supply line voltage match. If lamp continues to burn dimly, then: 3. Ensure that correct wattage lamp is installed. If lamp continues to burn dimly, then: 4. Check condition (swollen or damaged case) and verify the value (F) of capacitor matches the manufacturers data label, if luminaire
35、 is so equipped. If lamp continues to burn dimly, then: 5. Check luminaire for loose or broken wiring. If lamp continues to burn dimly, then: 6. Check for correct voltage tap if luminaire is equipped with multi-tap ballast. If lamp continues to burn dimly, then: 7. Replace the luminaire. Table 1 OPE

This is the most common photocontrol failure mode. Replace the photocontrol with a known good one, but do not cover. If, after allowing time
42、for any built-in time delay to reset (usually 35 seconds), the lamp continues to burn, then: 2. Check for a bad neutral connection or loose neutral wire between the luminaire supply and the photocontrol receptacle. The most common wiring problems are the loss of the neutral or the disconnection of t
43、he white wire from the photocontrol receptacle. In some cases, a photocontrol is replaced not because it is defective, but because it was not making good contact in the receptacle on the luminaire (neutral blade on the photocontrol). There are times when the photocontrol receptacle contacts have los
44、t their tension because of overheating and a good connection between the photocontrol blades and the receptacle contacts cannot be made. This can be determined by a visual inspection of the receptacle. In this case, the photocontrol and receptacle must be replaced. If a replacement receptacle is una
45、vailable, then the luminaire should be replaced. b) Lamp cycles on and off 1. This is the most common complaint regarding an HID system and can usually be corrected by replacing the lamp with a new one of the proper ANSI type and wattage. Lamp cycling is a good indication that the lamp has reached e
46、nd of life. If a new lamp does not solve the problem, then: 2. Check for loose or intermittent connections in the electrical system. One should check all of the following: supply connections, luminaire internal wiring, that the lamp is properly “seated” in the socket, the photocontrol receptacle and
47、 loose connections in the lamp such as broken welds, loose screw base broken arc tube mount or broken electrodes. Loose connections will typically show up when the fixture is vibrated or shaken. 3. Line voltage fluctuations such as those produced when a motor that is connected to the same power supp
48、ly as the luminaire starts can cause the lamp to cycle. This can be corrected by connecting the luminaire to a power supply that does not have a motor load connected to it. Regulated luminaire ballasts can also help to reduce lamp drop-out that is due to line voltage fluctuations. 4. High vibration
49、installations such as those found in bridges or tall poles can cause the lamp to cycle. The best solution for this type of cycling is to identify the source of vibration and apply some dampening device to the pole. Cycling may be the first symptom of a vibration problem and should be corrected as soon as possible in order to avoid lamp and fixture damage. 5. High ambient light levels or a photocontrol aimed at a high light level source can cause lamp cycling. In some cases, the “eye” of the photocontrol aimed at a highly reflective surface such Table 1 OPEN-CIRCUIT VOLTA
