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 Ballast requires 100-240VAC 50/60 Hertz 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 cables
to the ballasts and the Flathead 80 fixture. After the lamps are properly
installed, the ballasts can be turned on.

Cold Temperature Operation

The Ballast 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.
