If the unit does not work, check the following:
Electrical Supply/Wiring—Verify that the electrical
service is operating correctly.
Ballast—If lamp still is not illuminating check the wir-
ing to the ballast. If the ballast is wired properly and the
lamp still does not illuminate, replace the ballast. With a
fully electronic ballast there is no resistance testing.
Lamp—Verify that the lamp is not broken and is
properly seated in the lamp connector. To check this,
follow steps in the ’Lamp Replacement’ section with
one exception : you should not remove and replace the
lamp. If the lamp still does not light, rotate the lamp
connector 180°, re-attach to lamp., close cover and turn
power back on. If the lamp is broken read the ‘Lamp
Disposal’ section of this manual.
