Manual Operation
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. Each switch controls one lamp. The color
bands on the lamp harness correspond to the switches as illustrated.
Lamp Select Feature
The Select/DMX Ballasts have a
4ft/2ft switch. Set the selector switch to
4ft for 4ft lamps and 2ft for 2ft lamps.
When operating
4ft lamps in high ambient temperature or where the units
are rigged into place with restricted airflow, the
2ft setting can be used to
lower the color temperature and remove any green spike. The light drops
about a 1/2 f-stop in exposure when dropping from
4ft to 2ft.
It is not recommended to operate 2ft lamps in the
4ft setting. At the 4ft
setting, the color temperature of the 2ft lamps will rise dramatically and
experience a high green spike.
Note: The manual 2ft/4ft switch is disabled as soon as the DMX cable is
applied.
To manually control the
2ft/4ft switch with DMX cables plugged in:
1) Unplug the DMX cable or
2) Leave cables plugged in and set DMX address to “000”. There is a
5 second delay when switching between DMX and Manual control.
