HPV - High Performance Vertical Specifications

General

Each Philips Gardco HPV Luminaire is a sharp cutoff luminaire for high intensity discharge lamps. Internal components are totally enclosed, rain-tight, dust-tight, and corrosion resistant. No venting of the optical system or electrical components is required or permitted. Lamping requires no lifting or hinging of the luminaire housing, disturbing wiring or exposing uninsulated live parts.

Housing

The housing wrapper is one-piece die formed aluminum with an integral reinforcing spline and no welded corners. Silicone seals provide a weathertight seal at all points of material transition.

Arm

Extruded aluminum arm is prewired and secured to fixture by contractor.

Lens

A mitered, extruded anodized aluminum door frame retains the optically clear, heat and impact resistant tempered flat glass in a sealed manner using hollow section, high compliance, memory retentive extruded silicone rubber. A sag glass lens is provided on vertical lamp cutoff luminaires and a flat glass lens is provided on vertical lamp full cutoff luminaires. Stainless Steel spring hinge pins permits access to the luminaire without tools.

Optical Systems

The segmented reflector system consists of highly specular aluminum facets precisely aligned to achieve specified photometric distributions. The entire optical system is field rotatable in 90° increments without tools.

Optical systems feature a field adjustable lamp socket. In the lower socket position, optics provide a cutoff distribution, and require a sag glass lens. When the socket is in the upper position, with a flat glass lens, the optics provide a distribution meeting IES Full Cutoff. Luminaires ship from the factory with the socket in the upper position. Luminaires ordered with the 5XVF and 3XVF optical systems ship from the factory with a standard flat glass lens and door frame. Luminaires ordered with the 5XVS and 3XVS optical systems ship from the factory with a standard sag glass lens and door frame.
Luminaires are easily converted in the field by changing the lens and socket position. For a flat glass full cutoff luminaire, a flat glass lens and door frame with the socket in the upper position are needed. For a sag glass cutoff luminaire, a sag glass lens and door frame with the socket in the lower position are required. Maximum performance with a sag glass lens requires the socket to be placed in the lower position. Conversion does not require replacement of the reflector assembly.

Electrical

Each high power factor ballast is the separate component type capable of providing reliable lamp starting to -20°F. Entire ballast assembly is secured within the luminaire, above the reflector system. Metal Halide ballasts are medium regulation autotransformer providing +10% power regulation with +10% variation from rated input voltage. Component-to-component wiring within the luminaire will carry no more than 80% of rated current and is listed by UL for use at 600 VAC at 150° or higher. Plug disconnects are listed by UL for use at 600 VAC, 15A or higher.

Finish

Each luminaire receives a fade and abrasion resistant, electrostatically applied, thermally cured, triglycidal isocyanurate (TGIC) powdercoat finish.

Labels

All luminaires bear UL or CUL (where applicable) Wet Location labels.
