CD-FX-HID-1 INSTRUCTIONS
COLLINS FIXED-MOUNTED HID SPOTLIGHT
Warning: Please read all instructions and warnings prior to installation. Power must be disconnected
prior to installation or servicing. This luminaire must be installed and operated per NFPA 70 National
Electric Code, and all applicable codes and regulations. These instructions are provided as a guideline
for proper installation, and do not purport to cover every possible installation scenario or
configuration. If questions arise, consult the factory.
INSTALLATION:
1. Mounting:
• This light is intended to mount on a suitable base, such as the CD-BS-2, sold
separately.
• Install the mounting base and attach the CD-FX-HID-1 fixture using the hardware
supplied with the mounting base.
• Ensure the fixture is aimed properly and all hardware is tightened very securely.
Failure to tighten the hardware properly could allow it to loosen in service.
• Connect the power lead to a suitable power source of nominal 12 VDC, observing
polarity (red +, black -), and ensuring that the connections are waterproof.
• After mounting, test the fixture for proper operation.
MAINTENANCE & USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
2. Lamp and Ballast Maintenance:
• Make sure power is off before performing any maintenance on the fixture. HID
fixtures produce extremely high voltage (greater than 24,000V) during operation.
• Remove the lensframe screw and nut, and set them aside for reuse later.
• Gently flex the lensframe outward, and pull it straight off. Be careful not to twist or
deform the lensframe when removing it.
• The lamp is attached to the reflector with one screw. If the lamp requires
replacement, then simply remove the mounting screw, replace the old lamp with a
new one, and replace the mounting screw. Make sure that the new lamp is oriented in
the same direction as the old lamp.
• The lamp and ballast are connected by wires with quick-connects. If any of these
wires are damaged, then both the ballast and lamp must be replaced. Do not attempt
to repair damaged wires.
• The ballast is held in place with two small brackets. To remove the ballast, remove
the screws and brackets, and pull the ballast straight out. Install a new ballast by
pushing the ballast straight in. Secure it by replacing the two screws and brackets.
• When maintenance has been completed, first ensure that all electrical connections are
secured properly before proceeding.
