envelope,
■ or blackening or deposits inside lamp
tube.
Circuit breaker turned on Turn off circuit breaker.

Generator output incorrect Check incoming voltage to ballast.
Incoming voltage should be 120V ± 5V. If
voltage is incorrect, engine speed may
need to be adjusted or generator may
require service.
Low or no ballast output With the fixture cord removed from its
receptacle, the voltage should measure
400 to 445 VAC. If proper voltage is not
achieved, perform capacitor check to
determine if capacitor or coil needs to be
replaced.
Low light output Lamp degraded Replace lamp due to normal lamp life.
Low ballast output Check ballast for proper voltage output.
Fixture or lens dirty Clean reflective surface inside fixture and
both inside and outside surface of glass
