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 120VAC Ballast requires 110 to 130 Volts AC 50/60 Hertz on an earth
grounded circuit; the 230VAC Ballast requires 220 to 240 Volts AC on an
earth grounded circuit. The electronic Ballast operates at a high frequency of
25 kHz. It is dead-quiet, instant-on and lightweight.
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.
Load Considerations
Kino Flo Mega ballasts are not power factor corrected. They will draw
double the current on the neutral from what is being drawn on the two hot
legs. On large installations it may be necessary to double your neutral run
so as not to exceed your cable capacity.
Cold Temperature Operation
The Mega Ballast series is designed to operate at temperatures from 14F
to 122F (-10C to +50C). 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.
