Kino Flo Trans-Flo - Manual (Page 4)

(A) Attach each TRANS-FLO circular connector tail to a locking lamps harness,
or single head extension, making sure to rotate the locking ring until it
“clicks” into its locked position. Securely connect both ends to the harness
on the lamp before turning on the power.
Each Trans-Flo Ballast MUST have
two lamps connected to operate.
A ballast can operate any two sizes of lamps at the same time. For example,
a 15inch lamp can be paired with a 4ft lamp.
(B) With the ballast power switched off, attach the Power /Dim Cable to the
“POWER IN” port of the ballast.
(D) Connect the Primary Power Feed (black) 3-pin U ground Edison plug to a
120 Volt AC non-dimming circuit.
(E) Connect the Dimming Line (Yellow) U ground Edison plug to a theatrical
SCR dimmer circuit.
CAUTION: The Primary Power Feed and the Dimming Line must share a
common neutral in order to dim. Failure to do so may result in an electrical
short circuit.
One way to ensure a common neutral is to dedicate a number of non-dimming
circuits on a dimmer rack and then feed the Dimming Line to the appropriate
dimming circuits on the same rack.
(F) Once the Power/Dim Cable is properly circuited, set the ballast power switch
to “DIM”. With 120 Volts AC applied on the Primary Power Feed and with the
dimmer up full on the Dimming Line circuit: the ballast will illuminate the
lamps and respond to the dimmer settings.
Note: To check whether the Primary Power Feed circuit is hot, set the power
selector switch to “NON-DIM”. If there is 120 VAC on the Primary Power Feed
circuit, the ballast will strike the lamps even if the Dimming Line circuit has no
signal.
Dimming Performance
Best dimming performance is achieved by connecting harnesses directly to the
ballast. When adding Head Extension Cables, add the same length cable to
BOTH lamps. Otherwise the lamp with the longer cable will fade out ahead of the
lamp with the short cable.
