Voltage And Frequency Settings; Regenerating Malfunctioning Lamps - Martin PAL 1200 User Manual

Vo l t a g e a n d f r e q u e n c y s e t t i n g s
The PAL has five voltage settings and, except for the PAL 1200 E, two frequency settings (50 or 60 Hz) that can be selected in
any combination. To ensure safe and proper operation, it is vital that those settings match the local power supply. The follow-
ing table lists the correct voltage settings according to the mains supply.
Magnetic ballast: PAL 1200, PAL 1200 FX
Local AC voltage
95 - 110 V
110 - 130 V
200 - 220 V
220 - 240 V
240 - 260 V
Ensure that the fixture is disconnected from mains power before proceeding.
1. Remove the two Phillips screws which secure the small cover over the voltage and frequency terminals at the rear
end of the fixture.
2. Connect the brown wire labelled 'V' to the correct voltage terminal (see the table above).
3. (PAL 1200, PAL 1200 FX) Connect the brown wire labelled 'F' to the correct frequency terminal.
4. Replace and secure the small cover again.

Discharge lamps may not strike if the mains voltage applied to the fixture is too low (this could happen in areas with substan-
tial voltage fluctuations). Instead of striking, the lamp burns with a faint blue arc, and after a period of time it becomes black
on the inside. When this happens the lamp will refuse to strike even when mains voltage returns to normal level. However, in
this situation it is possible to regenerate the lamp following the instructions below:
Ensure that the fixture is disconnected from mains power before proceeding.
1. Remove the two Phillips screws which secure the small cover over the voltage and frequency terminals on the rear
end of the PAL (see previous section).
