Ballast Operation

WARNING!

1) ALWAYS TURN OFF THE BALLAST BEFORE connecting or

disconnecting Lamps, Harnesses or Extension Cables.

2) Use only with Sine wave inverters. Do not operate on SCR dimmers.

3) If powering the ballasts through a Dimmer Pack, set the Dimmer to

Non-Dim mode.

The BAL-457 Ballast requires 100-240VAC 50/60 Hertz on an earth

grounded circuit. The electronic Ballast operates at a high frequency of

25kHz. It is dead-quiet, instant-on and flicker-free.

Cold Temperature Operation

The DMX Ballast series is designed to operate at temperatures from 14°F

to 122°F (-10°C to +50°C). In cold temperatures, the Ballast may not strike

the lamp(s) instantly. Switch the Ballast to OFF, wait seven seconds and

try again. If the Ballast does not strike after two or three attempts, turn off

the Ballast, check that the Extension and Harness connections are secure

and re-strike. Once operating for a few minutes, the lamps should re-strike

instantly.
