THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING YOUR LUCIUS RECOM
CMH DE 630W KIT.
Lucius ReCom CMH DE 630W Kits are designed to
efficiently and effectively provide optimum levels of
horticultural light.
Lucius ReCom CMH DE 630W Kit uses the lastest Lucius
Universal Ballast that operates all ranges of High Intensity
Discharge (HID) Lamps, Double Ended High Voltage (DE,
HV/400V), Ceramic Metal-Halide (CMH), High Pressure
Sodium (HPS) and Metal-Halide (MH) lamps. Refer to the
‘Ballast Specification > Compatible Lamps’ section for
further details.
All Lucius ReCom Kits can be controlled manually via the
control knob or by the Lucius Light Management
Controller (LMC). Dimming function for up to 200 Lucius
Ballast, ON or OFF ballast timing on multiple zones is all
controlled remotely with one LMC. The Lucius Light
Management Controller is sold separately and includes
many features described in the Lucius Light Management
Controller instruction manual.
The Lucius ReCom Universal Ballast is equipped with safety
features that protect against overloading, short circuit,
over temperature, over and under voltage protection and
more. With a peak efficiency of 97% the Lucius ReCom
Universal 630W Ballast is the most efficient and powerful
HV Ballast on the market. It complies with international
standard IEC and meets EMI/EMS requirements.
The Lucius ReCom Kit comes preassembled, tested and
approved by internal and external QC departments.
Lucius ReCom products are the ideal option for Remote or
Combo application and compatible with all other
reflectors and ballast.
All options are interchangeable with a smart locking
system and without tools.
Lucius Reflectors use the new MAG-ATTACH system, fixing
and releases reflectors with ease. Using a magnetic field
with built-in thermal insulators to reduce the heat transfer
into the ballast and increasing life span of equipment. This
prevents the fixture acting like a heat sink and decreasing
the bulbs burning temperature. This allows the ceramic arc
tube to burn brighter, producing greater light output and
efficiency.
Best feature is the easy reflector replacement and tools
not necessary.
Please read and hang on to this instruction manual, to help
in reducing the risk of damage to the fixture, to yourself or
others. Use the fixture only as outlined in this manual.

9. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the product from all power before
performing any maintenance. Regularly check the
fixture for dust or dirt build-up. Dust, dirt, and
fingerprint on the lamp, reflector and ballast may
cause overheating and decreased performance.
•Clean the lamp regularly with a soft, dry and
clean cloth.
•Clean the ballast and outside of the fixture
using a dry or damp cloth.
•The lamp should be replaced every 5000
lighting hours or after 1 year’s operation.
•Lucius recommends replacement of reflector
after 5000 lighting hours to maintain
maximum reflectivity. Depending on
environment and lamp type the reflector
will degrade. The Miro®aluminium cannot
be cleaned without damage, therefore it is
recommended that reflectors are changed
once every year.
•Do not clean the fixture with detergents,
abrasives, or other aggressive substances. Do
not touch the inside of the reflector during
installation and do not use water to clean it.
This will damage the reflective coating on
the surface.
•Allow sufficient time before connecting the
light kit to the power supply after
maintenance work has been conducted.
•Regularly check the wiring of the product to
ensure it is undamaged.
Note: Before initial use, the lamp may have a black
mark on the arc tube. Do not be concerned! This
shows the light kit has been tested prior to
packaging. This will disappear when the lamp
runs at full power.
•Store the fixture in a dry and clean
environment, with an ambient temperature
of -40 to 70°C / -40 to 158°F.
•The product must not be discarded as
unsorted municipal waste, but must be
collected separately for the purpose of
treatment, recovery, and environmentally
sound disposal.
•The lamps are chemical hazardous waste
(mercury) and must be delivered to the
designated authorities.
