TCP 12537 - 12536Q 36W CIRCLINE ADAPTER T9 Fluorescent Ballast User Manual

Introducció

The TCP 12537 - 12536Q Circline Adapter is an electronic ballast designed to power compatible T9 fluorescent lamps. This 36-watt ballast ensures efficient and stable operation of your fluorescent lighting system. It is specifically engineered for use with TCP 32032 T6 32-watt lamps or TCP 32030 T9 30-watt lamps, providing the necessary electrical current to ignite and maintain the light output of these circline fluorescent tubes.

Informació de seguretat

Always observe the following safety precautions when handling or installing electrical components:

• Desconnecteu l'alimentació: Before any installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting, ensure the power supply to the fixture is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
• Personal qualificat: Installation and servicing should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained personnel familiar with electrical wiring and fluorescent lighting systems.
• Voltage Compatibilitat: Comproveu que l'entrada voltage (120 Volts) of the ballast matches the electrical supply of your installation.
• Lamp Compatibilitat: Use only with specified TCP 32032 T6 32-watt or TCP 32030 T9 30-watt circline fluorescent lamps. Using incompatible lamps may damage the ballast or lamp.
• Connexió a terra adequada: Ensure all electrical connections are properly grounded according to local electrical codes.
• Eviteu la humitat: Do not expose the ballast to moisture or operate in damp ubicacions.
• Inspeccionar per danys: Before installation, inspect the ballast for any signs of physical damage. Do not install damaged components.

The two prongs for lamp connection are visible on the top surface, along with the power input wires extending from the side.

The ballast is a compact, round unit with integrated wiring and a connector designed to interface with compatible circline fluorescent lamps. It features two prongs for direct lamp connection and power input wires for connection to the electrical supply.

Passos d'instal·lació

1. Desconnexió d'alimentació: Before beginning, ensure the main power supply to the lighting fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker. Verify with a voltage provador.
2. Access Fixture: Open or disassemble the lighting fixture to access the existing ballast and wiring.
3. Remove Old Ballast (if applicable): Carefully disconnect and remove the old ballast, noting the wiring connections (input power, lamp connexions).
4. Connect New Ballast:
   • Connect the input wires of the TCP 12537 - 12536Q ballast to the fixture's power supply wires (typically black to hot, white to neutral, green/bare to ground). Ensure secure connections using appropriate wire connectors.
   • Connect the ballast's lamp connector to the corresponding receptacle on the circline fluorescent lamp. The two prongs on the ballast should align with the lamp's connection points.
5. Secure Ballast: Mount the ballast securely within the fixture, ensuring it does not interfere with other components or the lamp. The ballast is designed for integration within a fixture, often with a "Table Mount" style, implying it sits flat or is secured to a surface.
6. Instal·leu Lamp: Carefully install the compatible TCP 32032 T6 32-watt or TCP 32030 T9 30-watt circline fluorescent lamp into its designated position within the fixture.
7. Remuntar el dispositiu: Close or reassemble the lighting fixture.
8. Restaura l'alimentació: Torneu a engegar l'alimentació al disjuntor.
9. Prova de funcionament: Turn on the light switch to verify proper operation of the lamp.

Instruccions de funcionament

The TCP 12537 - 12536Q ballast is an automatic electronic component. Once properly installed and connected to a compatible fluorescent lamp and power supply, it operates automatically when power is supplied to the lighting fixture. There are no user-adjustable controls on the ballast itself.

• Ensure the light switch connected to the fixture is in the "ON" position.
• The ballast will provide the necessary voltage and current to ignite and sustain the fluorescent lamp.
• To turn off the light, simply switch off the power to the fixture.

Manteniment

The TCP 12537 - 12536Q electronic ballast is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation under normal conditions. Regular maintenance is generally not required for the ballast itself.

• Neteja: If the ballast becomes dusty, ensure power is disconnected and gently wipe the exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Inspecció: Periodically inspect the wiring connections for any signs of loosening or corrosion. Ensure all connections remain secure.
• Substitució: If the ballast fails (e.g., lamp does not light, flickers excessively, or hums loudly after lamp replacement), it should be replaced by a qualified professional. Do not attempt to repair the ballast.
