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 25kHz. It is dead-quiet, instant-on and lightweight.
The Ballasts operate remote from the fixture. Connect the extension cable to
the ballast and the Flathead 80 fixture. After the lamps are properly installed,
the ballast can be turned on.
Cold Temperature Operation
The Select 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.
