GLOBUG SOLO LIGHTING SYSTEM — GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multiquip GloBug Solo Lighting System is a general
purpose floodlight tower intended for emergency and remote
lighting conditions. Power requirements for running the GloBug
Solo are 120 VAC, 60 Hz @ 9.5 amps. The GloBug Solo can
be plugged into a standard 120 VAC wall receptacle.
The lighting system of Multiquip's GloBug Solo is comprised
of one "Metal Halide" 1000-watt lamp. This lamp has an
output of 112,000 lumens. Typical lighting coverage is in
excess 150 ft. (45.72 meters) in a 360 degree pattern.
Located on the side of the mast is a weather-resistant
ballast box that contains the ballast for starting the lamp.
The lamp is activated by an ON/OFF switch located at
the base of the ballast.
For ease of service or transport, the lamp is equipped with
a quick-disconnect connector that allows the lamp fixture to
be removed quickly. This feature is extremely useful during
transport of the GloBug Solo over rough terrain. It is always
best to remove the lamp and pack it safely so it will not be
damaged.
ALWAYS make sure the
area above GloBug Solo is
open and clear of overhead
power lines and other
obstructions. The tower
extends in excess of 16.5 ft.
(5 meters). Contact with
overhead power lines or
other obstructions could
result in equipment
damage,
serious injury
or death
!
The lighting system can be raised vertically in excess of 16.5 feet
(5 meters) . Outriggers must always be deployed prior to raising
the mast.
Alarm Buzzer
The GloBug Solo is equipped with a "Balloon Alarm" feature.
This alarm will sound if the lamp is on and the balloon attempts
to make contact with the

hot

surface of the lamp. This alarm
is intended to inform the operator that a potential burn hazard
exists between the lamp surface and the balloon material.
Always allow the lamp to cool down before removing the AC
power from the GloBug Solo. In the event the balloon begins
to deflate during normal operation, immediately place the
GloBug Solo's ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
Balloon Envelopes
The GloBug Solo can be configured with a variety of balloon
envelopes (canopy). Please contact the MQ sales department
for the balloon of your choice. The GloBug Solo, Model
GB114BW comes with the standard balloon (BAL-120).
