Kino Flo Trans-Flo - Manual (Page 7)

A maximum of 10 TRANS-FLO Ballasts can be connected on one Primary
Power Feed Cable.
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 first ballast in the series.
C) Connect a 10ft or 2ft Jumper Cable from the “Power Out” port on the first
ballast in the circuit to the “Power In” port of the next ballast. A maximum of
ten ballasts, in series, can be connected in this manner.
Jumper Couplers are required to connect two or more Jumper Cables
( see Accessories )
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 power switch to “DIM”
on all the ballasts in the series. With 120 Volts AC applied on the Primary
Power Feed and with the dimmer up full on the Dimming Line circuit: the
ballasts 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.
