OCL X Series User manual
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF THE OCL COMPLETE FIXTURE.
OCL lighting provides high quality lighting by integrating experience, creative sensibility and innovation in our products.
By combining pragmatism, perfectionism and high technical standards in the design and lay-out work, we are able to
reach truly unique results.
OCL lighting systems are the new industrial standard in professional high output xtures. Light quality is a major
focal point in the industry and the OCL X series has been designed to fulll that specic need.The systems support both
HPS & Metal halide lamps.The OCL double-ended (DE) HPS lamps are proven to be extremely high in Par output, with
a broader spectrum than traditional HPS lamps and only a 5% loss of light at 10.000 hours in operation.
All of our ballasts come standard with PowerControl™, StartSmart™ and dimming feature.
The OCL X series are the next level in professional xtures, with the ability for central control with the OCL controllers.
With OCL lighting systems “You are in control of the light!”
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY
• Power Control™: OCL’s Power Control is a software based technology that allows one‐-at-‐a‐-time sequential lamp ignition.
No matter how many OCL ballasts you are running, your lights will ignite one‐-at-‐a‐- time. By utilizing a staggered ignition,
OCL ballasts prevent huge current draws/spikes in your electrical system and is therefore a more ecient means
of lighting your garden.
•Start Smart™ Technology: When the ballast is powered on, OCL ballasts will send a mV signal through the closed circuit
(between ballast and lamp), to determine a variety of dierent factors such as: lamp type, open/short circuits, high/low
temps and thermal issues, ignition failure, over ow current, and end of lamp life.
•World’s Lowest THD%: With an input Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) value of <10% and an output THD% of <12%,
OCL digital ballasts provide the cleanest signal for HID lamps. This provides maximum output, spectral perfection,
and longevity of your equipment.
INSTALLATION
OCL digital ballasts can be positioned universally. The unique design of the heat sink dissipates heat away from the critical
components in the ballast. OCL digital ballasts are designed for use indoors and are sealed against damage by humidity
and dust. When installing your complete xtures, we recommend to use up to 80% maximum load of your breaker
capacity for electrical safety.
LAMP CONNECTIONS
• Never turn on the ballast without the lamp cord and lamp installed.
•Never disconnect the lamp from a live ballast.
•Hot ‐restrike: it is very important to allow the lamp to cool before attempting to reignite.
Please allow 20‐-30 minutes before restarting to avoid damage to the lamp.
•Ensure a snug t when installing lamps.
•Make sure the mogul socket shows no signs of damage or corrosion.
•Conrm that power has been disconnected from the ballast before attempting to change lamps.
COMPATIBLE LAMPS
OCL digital ballasts operate both Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps. While OCL digital ballasts are
compatible with a majority of brand name lamps, OCL digital lamps are recommended. Our technical engineers tune and
match our light systems together for optimal output and spectral balance. Using a matched OCL system has signicant
benets over unmatched systems in terms of light quality and longevity.
•Please make sure the proper wattage lamp is installed before adjusting ballasts to full power or boost mode.
•OCL digital ballasts have soft‐start integration, ballasts ease up to full draw.
•OCL ballasts utilize soft‐ dimming, power will ease up to full draw. It may take a few minutes for the ballast to dim from
each setting. Visible dimming may not be noticeable to the human eye.
MAINTENANCE
OCL digital ballasts are not self-servicable. Disassembling the ballast will void the warranty. The internal componentry
of the ballast is sealed with a resin to protect the electronics. The aluminum exterior of the ballast can be cleaned with a
damp cloth, however make sure the ballast is disconnected before cleaning. Checking all connections regularly to make
sure that no cables have become loose or show signs of damage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
In case the HID lamp will not start, you can try the possible xes below:
•Lamp is loose in socket
•Incorrect voltage
•Defective or poor wiring
•Poor electrical connections
•Incorrect or damaged lamp
POSSIBLE FIXES OR CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE:
•Make sure you are using the correct voltage input.
•Examine wiring to conrm proper connections.
•Verify that you are using the proper voltage lamp, use OCL digital lamps for best results.
•Check to make sure there is no lamp damage, sometimes lamps are installed too rmly, look for broken connections.

PLEASE READ INTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
Warning: Keep the reector away from combustible materials.
Ensure your reector is mounted securely and keep lamp cords away from
direct heat from both lamp and reector. Light hangers or small chains are
good options to use for hanging the reector.
Changing Lamps:
Let the reector cool down and disconnect the power from the ballast when
replacing or changing out lamps. Use gloves to keep the lamp glass clean
from dirt and oils.
TO REMOVE A LAMP
•Disconnect the power from the ballast
•Remove holder cap [A]
•Open the lamp holders by sliding them outwards, the lamp will be held in
place by a metal spring, however secure the lamp to prevent it from
falling out [B]
TO INSTALL A NEW LAMP
•Make sure power is disconnected from the ballast
•Conrm the lamp is clean, wear cotton gloves if possible
•Conrm the end wires are straight
•Remove holder cap [A]
•Open lamp holders by sliding them outwards [B]
•Install the lamp by gently pressing the lamp until the metal springs
hold the lamp [C]
•Close the lamp holders by sliding them inward [D]
•Important: Finally? Install the spring at the back of the Holder Cap and prevent
any loosening. [A]
•Wipe the lamp with a clean soft cloth.
*Do not touch the reective material with your bare hands

DOUBLE ENDED LAMP INSTALLATION
Note: OCL recommends replacing the reector after 5000 lighting hours.
Depending on the environment and contamination levels the reector
will degrade.
The V53 Hammertone/Concave aluminum can not be cleaned without damage.
Therefore we recommend to changing the reector once every year.
Also replace the lamp when replacing the reector.
• Switch o mains power.
• Remove the lamp from the xture.
• Support the reector on the side of the reector lever to prevent it from falling.
•Move the pin to the left.
• Remove the reector.
• Place the new reector. Ensure the reector lever is in the opened position to
allow the reector to pass.
• Ensure the holes in the reector are aligned with the pins in the xture.
• Release the reector lever so its two pins hold the reector in place.
•Insert the lamp in the lamp holder.
•Switch on mains power.

The OCL X series, with extremely powerful and higher PAR output than traditional xtures, ask for a smart controller.
That is why OCL designed the world’s smartest and yet easy to operate lighting controller.
All sensors (TEMP/RH/CO2) can be calibrated, it detects sensor failures and when a connection is not set-up properly a
warning will automatically be displayed.
The OCL DLC 1.1 Smart Lighting and CO2 Controller includes a built-in clock and back-up battery with a 30-year lifetime.
The DLC 1.1 simulates natural growing conditions with the “RISE/FALL” option, allowing plants to gradually warm up
and cool down.
The “AUTO-SAVE TEMP”option senses when indoor temperatures are getting too high and responds by automatically
dimming the connected lamps, thereby reducing or even avoiding environmental stress and crop damage.
The “SHUTDOWN-TEMP” is an extra safety feature that will shut down all lighting in the room when the temperature is not
reducing after the “Auto-Save Temp” has set in. Causes could be a malfunctioning extraction or climate control unit.
A manual resetting of the “SHUTDOWN TEMP” is then required to restart the system.
With the “CO2 SET ppm” option, the controller not only manages the lights but the CO2 generators and cool CO2
installations can be controlled also.
When using an OCL DLC1.1 controller, no additional switch board is required.
With the “AUX BOX”, to be ordered separately, it is possible to connect a dehumidier, extra ventilation or heating.
The “AUX BOX” is equipped with a RJ12 UTP connection and a 16A relay for 3.5KW controlled power.
NEVER BEFORE WAS IT SO SIMPLE TO CREATE THE RIGHT CLIMATE FOR YOUR PLANTS!
