2. Safety Information
WARNING: High-Pressure Sodium lamps operate at high temperatures and voltages. Improper installation or handling can result in electric shock, burns, or fire. Always follow these safety guidelines:
- Power Disconnection: Always ensure the power supply to the fixture is turned OFF and locked out before installing, removing, or servicing the lamp.
- Correct Fixture: Use only in enclosed fixtures specifically designed for 400W HPS lamps with an E40 base and appropriate ballast.
- Handling: Handle the lamp by its base, not the glass envelope. Avoid touching the glass with bare hands, as oils can create hot spots and reduce lamp life.
- Eye Protection: Do not look directly at an operating HPS lamp, as the intense light can cause eye damage.
- Disposal: Dispose of spent lamps according to local regulations, as they may contain small amounts of mercury.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the fixture to prevent overheating.
3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for safe and correct installation of your OSRAM Vialox NAV-T 400 SUPER 4Y lamp:
- Verify Compatibility: Confirm that your lighting fixture is rated for a 400W HPS lamp and has an E40 lamp holder. Ensure the ballast is compatible with HPS lamps.
- Disconnect Power: Turn off the main power supply to the fixture at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Allow Cooling: If replacing an old lamp, allow the fixture and old lamp to cool completely before handling.
- Remove Old Lamp (if applicable): Carefully unscrew the old lamp counter-clockwise from the E40 lamp holder.
- Install New Lamp: Holding the new OSRAM lamp by its metal E40 base, carefully screw it clockwise into the lamp holder until it is finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once the lamp is securely installed, restore power to the fixture.

4. Operating Instructions
After proper installation, operating the OSRAM Vialox NAV-T 400 SUPER 4Y lamp is straightforward:
- Power On: Turn on the power switch connected to the lighting fixture. The lamp will ignite and typically take several minutes to reach full brightness and color stability.
- Restrike Time: If the lamp is turned off, it requires a cool-down period (typically 5-15 minutes) before it can be reignited. Attempting to reignite it too soon may prevent it from starting or reduce its lifespan.
- Control Method: The product specifications mention "App" as a control method. This refers to the control of the fixture or ballast, not the bulb itself. Ensure your fixture's control system is properly configured if using smart controls.
5. Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required for the OSRAM Vialox NAV-T 400 SUPER 4Y lamp to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Periodically, with the power off and the lamp cool, gently wipe the glass envelope with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or liquids.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the lamp and fixture for any signs of damage, such as cracked glass, loose connections, or discoloration. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Replacement: Replace the lamp when it reaches the end of its rated life, shows signs of flickering, or fails to ignite consistently.
