Manual Operation

The Ballast operates remote from the fixture. Connect the Extension cable to

the Ballast and the Lamp Harness. After the lamps are properly installed,

the Ballast can be turned on. Each switch controls one lamp. The color

bands on the lamp harness correspond to the switches as illustrated.

Lamp Select Feature

The DMX Ballasts have a

4ft/2ft switch. Set the selector switch to 4ft for

4ft lamps and

2ft for 2ft lamps.

When operating

4ft lamps in high ambient temperature or where the units

are rigged into place with restricted airflow, the

2ft setting can be used to

lower the color temperature and remove any green spike. The light drops

about a 1/2 f-stop in exposure when dropping from

4ft to 2ft.

It is not recommended to operate 2ft lamps in the

4ft setting. At the

4ft setting, the color temperature of the 2ft lamps will rise dramatically and

experience a high green spike.

Note: The manual 4ft/2ft switch is disabled as soon as the DMX cable is

applied.

To manually control the

4ft/2ft switch with DMX cables plugged in:

1) Unplug the DMX cable or
2) Leave cables plugged in and set DMX address to “000”. There is a

5 second delay when switching between DMX and Manual control.
