Ballast Operation
Ballast Operation Continued….
Cold Temperature Operation
The Select DMX 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.
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.
