ComPonents
Figure 7 shows the location of the components for the
GloBug lighting system. The function of each component
is described below:
1. — Connect this cable to a 120 VAC,
60 Hz power source.
2. — This balloon is made of heat-resistant
polyester, with a diameter of 33 inches (850 mm).
3. — When zipped, this
protective cover acts like a carrying case. The complete
lamp assembly is enclosed within the cover-carrying
case. Allow a sufficient amount of time for the lamp
to cool down before covering balloon. The possibility
exists of the balloon getting burned.
4. — Two stage air-assist mast. Maximum mast
height is 10 ft. (3 meters) without optional extension
pole. With optional extension pole, height increases to
13 ft. (4 meters). When raising the mast, always be on
the lookout for overhead obstructions.
5. — Always tighten this lock to hold
the lamp/balloon securely in place before raising mast.
6. — Use this latch to deploy and
lock tripod legs. For ease of use, the latch mechanism
is attached to a velcro strap.
7. — Unbuckle velcro strap securing tripod legs
(3), push down on any tripod leg until all tripod legs
are fully deployed. To place tripod legs in the stow
position, pull upward on velcro strap while pushing
down on tripod pole. Pull all legs upward and secure
with velcro strap.
8. — This guard (cage) protects the lamp
from being hit by objects.
9. — 400 watt metal-halide type lamp. Replace
only with MQ recommended type lamp. Always allow
a sufficient amount of time for the lamp to cool down
before changing.
10. — This electric motor is
responsible for inflating the balloon. It will supply a
pressure of 0.6-inch H20 (.0217 psi /0.149 kPA). Please
note that the balloon will begin to inflate as soon as
power is applied to the lighting system.
11. — Use this case when
transporting of the tripod is required. ALWAYS store
tripod in this carrying case when not in use.
12. — To add additional weight to
the tripod and make the tripod more stable in windy
conditions. Place a sandbag or similar weight onto
this hook.
13. — Supports lamp assembly when attached
to the straight pole.
14. — Secures the offset pole to the straight pole
when tightened.
15. — Used in conjunction with the offset
pole to support the lamp assembly.
16. — Used to attach the straight pole to an
external support. These clamps must be tightened
securely to prevent the light assembly from falling off.
