    OPERATION MANUAL Part No. 17500030 Rev. B INTRODUCTION. The following products are described in this manual: Examolite TC-440B is an overhead luminaire that provides blended fluorescent daylight at 7500K. It is used for grading, sorting, and visual quality inspections.

    The reflector is constructed to provide even light distribution. The diffuser is made to control brightness and resist environmental effects. The daylight fluorescent lamps use X-Rite's patented seven phosphor technology providing the closest approximation to natural daylight in a fluorescent source.
  • Page 3: Installation Procedure

    If a windowless room is unavailable, light-tight curtains or blinds should be used. If the X-Rite fixtures are used only for lighting of a localized area, then an area with little interference from other lighting should be selected or a viewing booth or an enclosing curtain should be used.
  • Page 4 Recommendations For Location Of Fixtures There are many applications for X-Rite overhead luminaires and therefore no single installation method would be suitable for all applications. See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for the more common installation requirements. Adjustments to the dimensions may be needed to achieve the desired light level and area of view.
  • Page 5 Connection of the individual ballast input leads and incandescent socket leads must be made at the time of the installation. Series ballast circuitry is used in the X-Rite Overhead Luminaires. In order to accommodate possible installation requirements, wire entry for input power is possible from either end of the fixture.
  • Page 6: Maintenance

    Replace lamps at approximately 75 percent of their rated life expectancy to retain spectral characteristics. Replace burned out lamps immediately in order to maintain the overall performance standards of the fixture.
