9 LB 1 2 Operation 2.1 Intended Use Operation Intended use Local regulations The LB 1 is intended to illuminate work areas. The end user assumes all responsibility for operating the machine safely and within its specified parameters. Consult with local authorities to determine regulations limiting noise and light emissions in the work area. Be sure to abide by these regulations when using the machine. wc_tx000741gb.fm 9

10 Operation LB Setting up the Balloon Prerequisites Balloon Light fixture with bulb Procedure Follow the procedure below to set up the balloon. 1. Remove the light from the transport cylinder. 2. Remove the light from the transport bag. WARNING Electric shock hazard. Electric shock can cause serious injury or death. Never connect the light to its power source and never turn it on until it has been fully unpacked and assembled to the tripod! 3. Hold the black handle with one hand and pull the stop bolt (a) with the other hand while slowly pushing the handle downward (b). Push forcefully during the last 5 mm (0.20 in.), as the seals provide some resistance. The balloon is fully expanded when the stop bolt clicks into the lowest tension position. 4. Check that the hook and loop (Velcro) seal is closed all around and that the white, translucent lower balloon cover shows no signs of serious damage. If the translucent lower cover is damaged, repair or replace it. The balloon is now ready to be assembled to the tripod. wc_tx000741gb.fm 10

11 LB Setting up the Tripod Operation Prerequisites Procedure Tripod Follow the procedure below to set up the tripod. WARNING Electric shock hazard. Electric shock can cause serious injury or death. Never connect the light to its power source and never turn it on until it has been fully unpacked and assembled to the tripod! 1. Unfold the tripod legs. b 6 cm (2 in.) 2. One of the legs has its own locking clamp (a). If the ground is not level, loosen this clamp and adjust the length of the leg so that the mast is vertical. 3. The mast should not touch the ground. Adjust the mast so that it is at least 6 cm (2 inches) from the ground. 4. Adjust the braces (b) so that they are parallel to the ground. The tripod is now ready for the balloon. wc_tx000741gb.fm 11

12 Operation LB Assembling the Balloon to the Tripod Prerequisites Procedure Tripod Follow the procedure below to assemble the balloon to the tripod. WARNING Electric shock hazard. Electric shock can cause serious injury or death. Never connect the light to its power source and never turn it on until it has been fully unpacked and assembled to the tripod! 1. Lift the balloon and insert the end of the round shaft into the tripod receptacle (a). Tighten the receptacle clamp. b a c 2. Ensure that each carabiner (b) moves freely and is not jammed. wc_gr Each of the three support ropes (c) is provided with a loop on both ends. Attach a support rope to each carabiner. Let the free ends of the ropes hang loosely for the moment. This procedure continues on the next page. wc_tx000741gb.fm 12

13 LB 1 Continued from the previous page. Operation CAUTION Pinch point. Fingers or hands could get pinched between the telescoping sections of the tripod mast. Use care when raising and lowering the tripod mast. 4. The recommended installation height for the tripod is 4 5 meters (approximately feet). Loosen the mast clamps on the tripod and adjust the height of each section as desired. Tighten all mast clamps securely. 5. Three metal stakes (d) are provided with the LB 1. Pound each into a suitable ground location and loop the free ends of the support ropes around them to anchor the machine. Make sure that the ropes are taut. CAUTION Tripping hazard! Passersby may accidentally trip over the support ropes or walk into them. This may lead to personal injury. Attach brightly-colored ribbons to the support ropes to increase visibility. The LB 1 is now ready for operation. wc_tx000741gb.fm 13

14 Operation LB Turning ON/OFF the Light Prerequisites Ballast and power source LB 1 assembled Turning on Follow the procedure below to turn on the light. 1. Connect the plug (a) of the light cord into the ballast (b). If in doubt which way the plug should be installed, install it so that the screw (d) is facing up. 2. Secure the plug to the ballast with the clamp (c). Then, plug the ballast into the GFCI-protected circuit. The bulb will reach full power in 4 5 minutes. Note: After being turned off, the lamp requires a 7 10 minute cool-down period before it will re-start.. WARNING Electric shock and trip hazard! Do not allow pedestrians or vehicular traffic to cross over the electrical cords. The cords could be damaged, cut, or tripped over. CAUTION Electric shock hazard! The ballast choke is compensated with a capacitor. The capacitor may produce a small spark or electric shock when discharging. Disconnect the ballast from the power source before disconnecting the light from the ballast. Note: The capacitor charge conforms with ENEC/VDI and UL regulations. Due to the discharge resistance at the capacitors, the capacitor is discharged within a defined period of time (approximately 30 seconds). Turning off Follow the procedure below to turn off the light. 1. Unplug the ballast from the voltage source (GFCI-protected circuit). After approximately 30 seconds, unplug the light from the ballast. 2. Allow the lamp to cool 10 minutes, then collapse the balloon and the tripod. Note: Always collapse the balloon and the tripod after each use of the light. wc_tx000741gb.fm 14

15 LB Inspecting and Cleaning Operation Inspecting Inspect the following components each time you unpack the LB 1: Make sure that no electrical cords are damaged. If any electrical cords are defective or damaged or if the grounding plug is broken or shorted-out, have a specialist repair it. Inspect the bulb for cracked glass. Make sure the bulb is properly screwed into the socket. Inspect the lower and upper covers for damage. Do not operate the balloon with a defective cover. Cleaning Follow the instructions below for cleaning the machine: If the balloon should become damp during use, let it dry thoroughly before returning the balloon to its transport cylinder. Otherwise, it will become musty in storage. If the cover (upper/lower) is dirty, wipe it with a weak solution of liquid dish soap and water. NOTICE: Do not use solvents to clean the balloon cover! NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean the machine. wc_tx000741gb.fm 15

16 Operation LB Changing the Bulb Prerequisites Leather gloves and eye protection New bulb Removal Follow the procedure below to remove the bulb. WARNING Cutting hazard. Broken glass from the bulb can cause severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves and eye protection when changing the bulb. Note: Yellow-brown condensing particles with free or enclosed metal drops inside the bulb are normal. The bulb is damaged and in need of replacing if the inner part of the bulb is deformed by heat or if the inner or outer bulbs show cracks or cuts. Removal: 1. Turn off the generator, unplug the light, and allow the bulb to cool at least 15 minutes. 2. Remove the balloon from the tripod. 3. Expand (open) the balloon. See section Setting up the Balloon. 4. Mount the balloon in a bench-top vise or other similar location that can hold the balloon securely and provide accessibility. 5. Separate the upper (a) from the lower portion (b) of the balloon by separating the hook-and-loop tape (Velcro ). Limit the opening to one or two sections. This procedure continues on the next page. wc_tx000741gb.fm 16

17 LB 1 Continued from the previous page. 6. Disconnect the snaps and remove the burst cage (c). Operation 7. With a gloved hand, unscrew the bulb (d) and remove it. Installation Follow the procedure below to install a new bulb. 1. With a gloved hand, screw the bulb into the light fixture. NOTICE: Avoid touching the bulb with your bare hands. Oils from your skin may shorten bulb life. 2. Re-install the burst cage. 3. Reconnect the lower and upper portions of the balloon with the hook-and-loop tape (Velcro ). The procedure to change the bulb is now complete. wc_tx000741gb.fm 17

18 Operation LB Troubleshooting Problem Reason Remedy Balloon does not open. The stop bolt is not pulled out before attempting to push the black hand grip downward. Bulb does not light. Light shuts off and/or restarts during operation Light flickers during operation Power supply has incorrect voltage or frequency. Damaged or loose bulb. Loose plug. Faulty, damaged, or burned bulb socket. Faulty or damaged ballast. Defective electrical network. Deviation in frequency by more than ±10Hz. Deviation in frequency by more than ±10Hz. Power supply unstable or insufficient. Generator s condenser may be worn out. Too many other machines using the same generator. Pull out the stop bolt and attempt to push down again.
