Material Data Light Source - LSCK4 / LSCK4 PLUS
Glass
These lamps consist of an inner quartz arc tube enclosed in an outer envelope of heat-
resistant glass. Depending on the lamp type, the envelope is either clear of coated with one of
two different materials. The “MVR” and “MVT” lamps are coated with a phosphor material while
the “MXR” lamps are coated with a diffusing material.
Phosphor
The phosphor used on the outer envelope of the coated lamps consists of yttrium vanadium
phosphate. This material, like most vanadium compounds, is relatively insoluble, and appears
to have a much lower toxicity than vanadium pentoxide but may elicit some similar symptoms
at high exposure levels. Excessive inhalation exposure to vanadium Pentecost may result in
irritation of the nasal passages and respiratory tract, cough, difficulty in breathing, and
bronchitis. However, the yttrium vanadium phosphate from the breakage of one or a small
number of lamps should not result in a significant exposure.
The material used as a diffuser in the “MXR” lamps is a specially prepared kaolin clay that
contains no crystalline silica or asbestos as impurities. These types of clays are generally
considered to be toxicologically relatively inert materials.
43
53
Light Source - LSCK4 / LSCK4 PLUS Material Data
Arc Tube
The quartz arc tube contains a small amount of mercury, ranging from 5 milligrams in a 32 watt
lamp up to 165 mg in a 1500 watt lamp. The arc tube contains a small amount of inert gas
argon used as a fill gas. It also contains a small amount of other materials, used as an
emission mix on the electrodes, but there would be no significant exposure from lamp
breakage.
Also contained in the arc tube are small amounts of sodium and scandium iodide, and in some
cases thorium iodide. None of these materials are expected to be a hazard in the small
quantities present in the arc tube. The coating on the end(s) of the arc tube is aluminum oxide,
a material generally considered to have a low order of toxicity.
Metals
Internally, the support wires used in the lamp construction are made from nickel-coated iron
or stainless steel while the electrodes are tungsten. Many of the metal halide types will use a
brass base and have lead-soldered connections to that base.
Health Concerns
Mercury Exposure
The air concentration of mercury resulting from the breakage of one or a small number of
lamps should result in no significant exposure to the individual. However, if breaking a large
number of lamps for disposal, appropriate monitoring, controls and equipment should be
implemented to control airborne mercury and dust levels or surface contamination. Such work
should be done in a well ventilated area, and local exhaust ventilation or personal protective
equipment may be needed.
! WARNING
This lamp can cause serious skin burn and eye inflammation from
shortwave ultraviolet radiation if outer envelope of the lamp is broken or
punctured, and the arc tube continues to operate. Do not use where
people will remain for more than a few minutes unless adequate shielding
or other safety precautions are used. General Electric Company has
commercially available SAF-T-GARD Mercury and Multi-Vapor lamps that
will automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is broken.
44
54
Material Data Light Source - LSCK4 / LSCK4 PLUS
The self-extinguishing metal halide lamps referred to above have order codes beginning with
the letters “MVT”. If the outer glass envelope of a SAF-T-GARD lamp is broken, although the
arc tube will have self-extinguished, its support structure will still be electrically connected and
could present an electrical shock hazard. Therefore, regardless of the type, if the outer
envelope of the lamp is broken, turn the power off before replacing the lamps.
Disposal Concerns
TCLP
A Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test conducted on the lamp for lead or
mercury could cause the lamp to be classified as a hazardous waste. Metal Halide lamps use
leads older on the lamp base and mercury in the arc tube. The lead solder or mercury vapor
should pose little risk of exposure under normal use and handling. While small numbers of
these lamps placed in the ordinary trash should not appreciably effect the nature or method of
disposal of the trash in most states, under some circumstances disposal of large quantities
may be regulated. You should review your waste handling practices to assure that you dispose
of waste lamps properly. Please check with state environmental departments regarding
individual state disposal requirements.

Light Source - LSCK4 / LSCK4 PLUS General Trouble Shooting
Introduction
Trouble shooting for a portable light tower is an organized study of a particular problem or
series of problems and a planned method of procedure for investigation and correction. The
trouble shooting chart that follows includes some of the problems that an operator may
encounter during the operation of a portable generator.
The chart does not attempt to list all of the troubles that may occur, nor does it attempt to give
all of the answers for correction of the problems. The chart does give those problems that are
most apt to occur. To use the trouble shooting chart:
Action Plan
A. Think Before Acting
Study the problem thoroughly and ask yourself these questions:
C. The source of most troubles can be traced not to one component alone, but to
the relationship of one component with another. Too often, a machine can be
partially disassembled in search of the cause of a certain trouble and all
evidence is destroyed during disassembly. Check again to be sure an easy
solution to the problem has not been overlooked.
D. After a mechanical failure has been corrected, be sure to locate and correct the
cause of the trouble so the same failure will not be repeated. A complaint of
"premature breakdown" may be corrected by repairing any improper wiring
connections, but something caused the defective wiring. The cause may be
excessive vibration.

Foreword
Operating Characteristics
High Intensity Discharge Lamps (from left) Mercury, Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium and
low Pressure Sodium.
Advance HID lamp ballasts are available to operate a wide variety of Mercury, Metal Halide,
High-pressure Sodium and Low Pressure Sodium lamps available in today’s marketplace.
All are electric discharge lamps. Light is produced by an arc discharge between two electrodes
located at opposite ends of an arc tube within the lamp.
The purpose of the ballast is to provide the proper starting and operating voltage and current
to initiate and sustain this arc.
HID Lamps
Lamp Starting
56
66
Trouble Shooting High Intensity Discharge Light Source - LSCK4 / LSCK4 PLUS
Lamp Operation
Electric discharge lamps have a negative resistance characteristic, which would cause them
to draw excessive current leading to instant lamp destruction if operated directly from this
voltage. The ballast is therefore utilized to limit this current to the correct level for proper
operation of the lamp.
HID lamps will take several minutes to warm up and reach full lumen output. An interruption in
the power supply, or a sudden voltage may cause the arc to extinguish. A lamp that is still hot
will not restart immediately.
Before the lamp will relight, it must cool sufficiently to reduce the vapor pressure within the arc
tube to a point where the arc will restrike. The approximate warm-up and restriking times of
the HID lamp groups are as follows:

in this section. It consists of one, two or three copper coils on a core (or “stack”) of electrical
grade steel laminations.
Ballast Circuitry
General
The ballast in an HID lighting system has generally two purposes:
1. To provide the proper starting voltage to strike and maintain the arc.
2. To provide the proper current to the lamp once the arc is established.
In addition to being designed to operate a particular type of HID lamp, a ballast design
incorporates a basic circuitry to provide specific lamp/ballast operating characteristics. As an
example, the effects of line voltage variations on resultant changes of lamp wattage are a
function of the ballast circuit design.

* Reactor and High Reactance = R and HX Mercury, Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium
lamp ballasts.
** Constant Wattage Autotransformer = CWA Mercury. Similar to regulation of CWA Metal
Halide and High Pressure Sodium lamp ballasts.
*** Constant Wattage and Regulated Lag = Premium CW Mercury and REG LAG High
Pressure Sodium lamp ballasts.
Also, like the reactor ballast, the autotransformer is inherently normal power factor (50%), but
it may be corrected to high power factor (90%) with the addition of a capacitor across the input.
Its current draw and ability to withstand voltage dips are similar to that of the reactor.

This is the most commonly used circuit because it offers the best compromise between cost
and performance. It is a high power factor devise, utilizing a capacitor in series with the lamp.
A±10% line voltage variation will result in a ±5% change in lamp wattage for Mercury, or
±10%change in wattage for Metal Halide. These regulation characteristics are greatly
improved over the reactor and the high reactance circuits.
Additionally, the ballast input current during lamp warm-up does not exceed the current when
the lamp is stabilized. The incidences of accidental lamp outages die to voltage dips is also
greatly reduced because a CWA ballast can tolerate drops in line voltage of 30-40% before
the lamp extinguishes (lamp dropout).
Capacitors
General
All Constant Wattage Autotransformer, high power factor Reactor and Hi-Reactance ballasts
require a capacitor. With core & coil units, this capacitor is a separate component and must be
properly connected electrically. In high power factor ADVANCE out door weather proof, indoor
enclosed, F-can and post line ballasts, the capacitor is already properly connected within the
assembly. Two general types of capacitors are currently in widest use: the oil-filled and the dry
type.

Oil-filled capacitors furnished today contain a non-PCB oil and are equipped with UL
component-recognized, internal interrupters to prevent can rupture and resultant oil leakage
in the event of failure. Additionally, capacitors utilized with Mercury and Metal Halide CW and
CWA ballast circuits have a UL-required discharge resistor connected across the terminals to
discharge the capacitor after the power is extinguished for the safety of service personnel. In
High Pressure Sodium lighting applications, a discharge resistor contained within the ignitor
meets this safety requirement.
Whether furnished singly or as pairs prewired in parallel, capacitors must be properly wired in
all installations. Proper wiring methods, as well as some common miswiring methods which
must be avoided, are shown on the following page. If the capacitor is miswired, ballast or lamp
failure could result.

Capacitor Failure
The older, PCB oil-filled capacitors, which have been discontinued but may still be found in
older fixtures, generally fail shorted when they fail. A shorted capacitor affects ballast types
and circuits as follows:
Mercury and Metal Halide Ballasts
A seemingly normal lamp operation, but a large increase in line current. This increased current
will usually cause the ballast primary coil to burn up in anywhere from a few minutes to a few
days.
High Pressure Sodium (HX & R) Ballasts
A direct short is created across the primary which may either open the circuit breaker or burn-
up the primary.
High Pressure Sodium (CWA & CW) Ballasts
Lamp operation continues at a very low wattage and resultant low light output with no damage
to the ballast.
Trouble Shooting
At times when an HID Lighting System becomes inoperative, a complex, thorough, trouble-
shooting procedure may prove overly time consuming. In these instances, a simple check of
the power switches, when a bank of fixtures becomes inoperative, or a visual check of the
lamp, when a singular fixture becomes inoperative, may provide the quickest response to the
problem. At other times, where individual isolated fixtures are involved, it may be necessary
to systematically isolate the problem and perform complete electrical tests in order to properly
restore the lighting.
The four basic trouble-shooting methods outlined in this booklet offer procedures which can
be applied to cover virtually all situations:

If either core & coil ballast or capacitor appear abnormal, replace both.
Component Replacement Where No Visual Defects appear verify that the correct fine voltage
is being supplied to the fixture.
Check power switches, circuit breakers, fuses, photo control, etc.
Replace lamp.
Replace both ballast and capacitor.

Ohm meter
Line Voltage
Measure the line voltage at input to fixture to determine if the power supply conforms to the
requirements of the lighting system. For constant wattage ballasts, the measured line voltage
should be within 10% of the name plate rating. For high reactance or reactor ballasts, the line
voltage should be within 5% of the name plate rating.
If the measured line voltage does not conform to the requirements of the lighting system, as
specified on the ballast or fixture name plate, electrical problems exist outside of the fixture
which can result in non-starting or improper lamp operation.
Check fuses, breakers and switches when line voltage readings cannot be obtained. High, low
or variable voltage readings may be due to load fluctuations on the same circuit.
1. Measure input voltage (V1) to verify rated input voltage is being applied.
2. With the lamp out of the socket and the proper voltage applied to the ballast,
read the voltage (V2) between the socket pin and shell. Reading must be within
test limits shown.
As an alternative, this test may also be performed simply by screwing an adapter into the lamp
socket for easy access. Then hook up the voltmeter to this adapter. Reading must be within
test limits shown.
