2. Safety Information
- WARNING: This product may be subject to California Proposition 65 rules and regulations. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
- Always disconnect power to the fixture before installing, removing, or cleaning the lamp.
- Ensure the fixture is rated for the wattage and type of this lamp (35W HPS).
- Do not handle the lamp with bare hands; oils from skin can reduce lamp life. Use a clean cloth or gloves.
- Allow the lamp to cool completely before handling.
- Do not use in enclosed fixtures unless specifically rated for such use.
- Dispose of lamps according to local regulations. HPS lamps contain small amounts of mercury.
3. Setup and Installation
- Verify Compatibility: Ensure your lighting fixture is designed for High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps and can accommodate a 35-watt bulb with a medium (E17) base.
- Power Disconnection: Turn off the power supply to the lighting fixture at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation.
- Remove Old Lamp (if applicable): If replacing an existing lamp, allow it to cool completely. Unscrew the old lamp counter-clockwise from the socket.
- Install New Lamp: Carefully screw the Satco S3130 lamp clockwise into the medium (E17) base socket until it is finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once the lamp is securely installed, restore power to the fixture.
4. Operating Instructions
The Satco S3130 High Pressure Sodium lamp requires a brief warm-up period to reach full brightness and color stability. Upon initial power-on, the lamp will strike and then gradually increase in brightness and shift to its characteristic warm white (2100K) color over several minutes.
- Initial Start-up: After installation and power restoration, the lamp will ignite. It may take 5-10 minutes to reach full light output and stable color.
- Re-strike Time: If the lamp is turned off, it will require a cool-down period (typically 1-5 minutes) before it can be re-ignited. Attempting to re-strike too soon may prevent it from lighting or shorten its lifespan.
- Light Output: The lamp provides 2250 lumens of warm white light, suitable for various outdoor applications.
5. Maintenance
High Pressure Sodium lamps generally require minimal maintenance. Adhering to these guidelines can help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Periodically, when the lamp is cool and power is disconnected, gently wipe the exterior of the bulb with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the bulb.
- Replacement: The average rated life of this lamp is 16,000 hours. Replace the lamp when it begins to flicker, cycle on and off, or fails to ignite.
- Disposal: Due to the presence of small amounts of mercury, HPS lamps should be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Do not dispose of in regular household trash. Consult your local waste management authority for proper disposal procedures.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Satco S3130 lamp, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
- Lamp Does Not Light:
- Ensure power to the fixture is on.
- Check that the lamp is securely screwed into the socket.
- Verify that the fixture's ballast is functioning correctly and is compatible with a 35W HPS lamp.
- If replacing an old lamp, ensure the new lamp is not faulty. Try testing it in a known working fixture if possible.
- Lamp Flickers or Cycles On/Off:
- This often indicates the lamp is nearing the end of its operational life and needs replacement.
- Ensure the fixture's ballast is not failing. A failing ballast can cause erratic lamp behavior.
- Dim Light Output:
- The lamp may be nearing its end of life.
- Ensure the fixture's reflector and lens are clean.
If problems persist after following these steps, consult a qualified electrician or contact Satco customer support.
