General Information - MULTIQUIP GloBug GB113BC Operation And Parts Manual

The Multiquip GloBug Lighting System is a general purpose
floodlight tower intended for emergency and remote lighting
conditions. The GloBug can be powered by a variety of
Multiquip's series generators. Power requirements for running
the GloBug are 120 VAC, 60 Hz @ 9.6 amps. The GloBug
can be powered by any MQ portable generator with an output
of 2.9 kW or greater.
Please read carefully the specified
generator manual that will accompany your
GloBug lighting system. This manual will
explain how to operate and maintain the
generator.
NOTE
The lighting system of Multiquip's GloBug Lighting System
is comprised of one "Metal Halide" 1000 watt lamp. This
lamp has an output of 112,000 lumens. Typical lighting
coverage is in excess 150 ft. (45.72 meters) in a 360 degree
pattern.
Located underneath the generator support platform is a
weather resistant ballast box that contains the ballast for
starting the floodlight. The floodlight is activated by an
ON/OFF switch located at the base of the mast.
For ease of service or transport, the floodlight is equipped
with a quick-disconnect connector that allows the lamp fixture
to be removed quickly. This feature is extremely useful during
transport of the lighting system over rough terrain. It is always
best to remove the floodlight and pack it safely so it will not
be damaged.
Balloon Envelopes
The GloBug can be configured with a variety of balloon
envelopes (canopy). Please contact Discount-equipment for
the balloon of your choice. The GloBug, Model GB113BC is
shipped from the factory with the drum type balloon.
