Installation & Lead Wire Guidelines
- 3-Lead Circuit Connection: Connect the 12-inch lead wires directly into the ballast circuit: X1 to Lamp socket, X2 to Common (COM), and X3 to the 120V/tap wire on the ballast coil.
- Observe Maximum Distance: Strictly adhere to the maximum allowable wire distance (2 ft to 25 ft depending on ballast wattage) between the ignitor and lamp socket to prevent pulse voltage drop.
- Mounting Hardware Included: Individual carton (-IC suffix) ignitors include the RW33CC1252 mounting clip for round case securing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "-IC" suffix stand for in LI533-H4-IC?
The "-IC" suffix indicates "Individual Carton" packaging. Replacement kit comes furnished with the RW33CC1252 round case mounting clip.
What is the difference between LI533-H4-IC and the XTENZA LI533-LR long-range ignitor?
The standard LI533-H4-IC is restricted to maximum distances of 2 to 25 feet to the lamp (depending on ballast circuit), whereas the XTENZA LI533-LR long-range ignitor allows mounting distances up to 50 feet from the lamp.
Can the LI533-H4-IC be paired with the LISOD shut-off device?
Yes. The LISOD1 / LISOD1-IC shut-off device can be wired in series with the LI533-H4-IC ignitor to automatically disable pulsing after 15 minutes if a lamp fails or is removed from the socket.
