Operating Conditions - Lucky Reptile Bright Control PRO III 35 W Guia De Empleo

GB
We are pleased that our new Bright Control PRO III is able to meet the frequently
expressed customer wish for a device that can be operated with 35W, 50W and
70W Bright Sun lamps. You have full flexibility and can also easily change lamps
e.g. according to the season. The device can easily be adjusted to the desired
wattage on the side and is even simpler in operation than the predecessor.
As a production partner, we were able to win Philips - one of the leading manuf-
acturers of metal vapor lighting technology. Together we ensure that the Bright
Control PRO III will achieve optimal radiation levels for the animals. Please note
that when other ballasts are used, even from Philips, other radiation values
may occur as the manufacturers optimize their products for other lamps. Espe-
cially concerning with the UV performance this can be responsible for distinct
differences, as independent measurements show.
Lucky Reptile can ensure the optimal function of the Bright Sun and its spectrum
only in combination with Lucky Reptile ballasts and lighting equipment. The lu-
minaire is an important component and must be specially approved for use with
metal vapor lamps. Most porcelain sockets are NOT approved for use with metal
vapor lamps! Correspondingly, we recommend Lucky Reptile Thermo Socket pro-
ducts. Items with a plug-in connection that is suitable for Bright Control can be
identified by the mark „PRO".
Choosing the wattage
Attention: The wattage can be selected over a switch on the side of
the device. Make sure that the selection corresponds to the wattage
of the used lamp. Changing the wattage must only be done if the
lamp is disconnected from power supply!
Installation using Lucky Reptile Plug and Play
Luminaires
Install the Plug and Play luminaire as described in its manual. Plug the con-
nector (male) of the Plug and Play luminaire into the female connector of the
Bright Control ballast. Potentially available power cables of the Plug and Play
luminaire are not needed.
Screw the Bright Sun UV lamp into the socket. Make sure that it is fitting properly
and has good contact to the electrical parts of the socket.
Plug the Bright Control PRO III into the wall socket. The lamp should now ignite
and rise continually in brightness. If the ignition phase takes a long time or
ignition is not possible, check if the lamp is correctly screwed into the socket.
Installation of other lampholders and luminaires must only be done by a pro-
fessional electrician. It is the responsibility of the user to check if such a combi-
nation is permitted and the product safety is maintained. Please note that only
a few lampholders are suitable for use with metal halide lamps. Best to attach
other luminaries by using the connector system. Compatible male connectors
are available separately.
