• 

Reinstall the reflector, and align it properly.  Clean the reflector if necessary with 
residue-free glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth.   

• 

Clean the glass lens, and place it on top of the reflector.  The glass will directly hold 
the reflector in place. 

• 

Wrap the lens gasket around the housing and lens.  The gasket will hold the lens and 
fixture together.  Ensure it is clean and placed properly before proceeding. 

• 

Replace the lensframe by first pressing one end into the lens gasket.  Make sure the 
tab is oriented properly before pressing it in firmly.  Start pressing at the tab, and 
work the lensframe into the gasket by pressing firmly every couple of inches along 
the lensframe until the entire lensframe is seated properly.  It is important to press in 
sequence, starting from the first tab and working all the way around the lensframe.  
The last place to press is the second tab, and the two lensframe tabs should meet 
closely when the lensframe is installed properly.  Replace the lensframe screw and 
nut, and tighten them securely.    

 

Caution:

  Do not touch the glass bulb of the lamp.  If necessary, clean with isopropyl alcohol. 

 

 

3. Switch Maintenance: 

 

• 

Make sure power is off before performing any maintenance on the fixture.

  HID 

fixtures produce extremely high voltage (greater than 24,000V) during operation. 

• 

Open the switchbox by removing the four screws holding the switchbox plate where 
the switch is installed.   

• 

The switch can be removed by unscrewing the rubber boot.  The switch is electrically 
connected with quick-connect tabs.   

• 

If the switch needs to be installed on the opposite side of the fixture, simply remove 
both the switch cover and blank cover, and swap them.  DO NOT remove the 
switchbox from the fixture for any reason.   

• 

Before replacing the switchbox covers, ensure that the quick-connect tabs are secured 
properly on the switch, and the switch boot is tightened securely.   

• 

When replacing the covers, ensure the gaskets are flat and properly seated so that the 
fixture remains waterproof.   

 

 

4. Troubleshooting:  

 

• 

In the event of improper operation, first use a voltmeter to ensure that the fixture is 
receiving adequate input power.  CD-FX-HID-1 fixtures require 12VDC for proper 
operation.  If the voltage is too low, the lamp may fail to light or restrike.  If the 
voltage is too high, the ballast and lamp can fail prematurely.  Correct any faults 
found.   

• 

If no electrical faults are found, then either the ballast or lamp may require 
replacement.  Always replace the lamp first, especially if it is an old lamp.   

• 

If the fixture fails to light after replacing the lamp, then replace the ballast as well.   

• 

A new lamp should normally be installed whenever a new ballast is installed.   

• 

If necessary, contact Havis-Shields for additional troubleshooting procedures.
