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 25kHz. It is dead–quiet, instant–on and lightweight.

Load Considerations:

Kino Flo 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.

To insert the cable

(X07-G125), align the key-ways

on the fixture plug with the circular receptacle on the

ballast. Rotate the locking ring until it clicks into the

lock position.

Fixtures can be operated with the attached 18” tail

and the 25ft extension cable.

Ballast Operation

The Vista Single Ballast features a

H0/STD switch.

This is used to adjust light level without affecting

color temperature. In

STD mode the light drops

½ f-stop.

When operating the Vista Single in high ambient

temperature or where the units are rigged into place

with restricted airflow, the

STD setting can be used

to lower the color temperature and remove any

green spike.
