Ballast Operation
The BarFly fixture includes a built-in 12ft head extension.
To insert the extension into the ballast, align the keyways
on the fixture plug with the circular receptacle on the ballast.
Rotate the locking ring until it clicks into the lock position.
Additional 25ft head cable can also purchased separately
(part #s X19-G425, X09-G225 or X09-G125).
Fixtures should be operated with the additional 25ft exten-
sion cable for countries outside the U.S.A and Canada.
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 25 kHz. 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.
Cold Temperature Operation
The BarFly 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.
It is normal for the lamp to require a few minutes to achieve full light output even at
room temperature.
The BarFly Ballast features individual lamp switching and
an HO/STD switch. The HO/STD is used to adjust light level
without affecting color temperature. In STD mode the light
drops ½ f-stop.
When operating the BarFly 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
