The TRANS-FLO SYSTEM is a standard-output ballast that can 
be dimmed on most common theatrical SCR dimming systems. 
The modular design of the TRANS-FLO SYSTEM streamlines 
set lighting installations, and its smooth dimming capability 
ensures controlled lighting effects. 
 
The TRANS-FLO Ballast can operate 15-inch, 2ft, 3ft and 4ft 
lamps in pairs; two different sized lamps can be powered from 
the same ballast. (Two lamps must be connected for the ballast 
to operate.) 
 
The POWER/DIM Cable provides primary voltage and dimming 
control to the first TRANS-FLO Ballast. The Single Locking 
Lamp Harnesses attach directly to each ballast, or they attach to 
a ballast via a Head Extension ( up to 25ft long ). 
 
Jumper Cables link TRANS-FLO Ballasts together ( up to 10 in 
a series ). 
 
The TRANS-FLO SYSTEM operates in three modes: 
 
1.
INDIVIDUAL BALLAST DIMMING MODE ( two 
lamps ) 
2.
SERIES BALLAST DIMMING MODE (up to 10 
ballasts per series ) 
3.
NON-DIM MODE
To operate, the TRANS-FLO SYSTEM in the Individual Ballast Dimming Mode
