SAFETY FIRST!
  DO NOT alter or modify this unit in any way. It may cause bodily injury or
death as this is a high power electrical device.
DO NOT submerse in water or splash water on the unit.
DO NOT plug or unplug the lamp cord while the ballast is energized.
These high performance Electronic Ballasts are extremely efficient. They have a high
power factor and high luminous efficacy. It’s stable performance creates constant power
output even when power fluctuates (power surge). Short circuit protection technology
prevents damage to the lamp and other ballasts connected to the same circuit.
1. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
  DO NOT alter or modify the electronic ballast in any way.
Not only may it damage the unit, it will void the warranty.
  Lamp power rating must match electronic ballast power rating.
3. NOTES
  The Galaxy Electronic Ballasts will operate with Metal Halide lamps and
High Pressure Sodium lamps that are rated at the proper wattage.
  This unit offers short-circuit and power fluctuation.

This ballast offers our exclusive Smart Volt®feature – It is a “smart” ballast — that
will operate on either 120 or 240 volt power (except #902510 Galaxy®Legacy®1000
watt 240 volt only ballast) by simply plugging in the appropriate power cord. There
is no further modification necessary. It comes with a 120 volt power cord. If you
wish to run this ballast on 240 volt, you must purchase the 240 volt power cord
separately (part #903082 six foot or #903084 twenty foot).
The Galaxy 1000 watt 240 volt (#902510) is a designated voltage electronic ballast.
Run this ballast only with 240 volts.
Dual universal lamp cord
receptacle is compatible with
all Sun System®reflectors as
well as other branded reflectors.
OUTPUT TO HPS/MH LAMP CONNECT APPROPRIATE
AC POWER PLUG HERE
AC input 120 (included)
or 240V (purchase
separately) #902510
includes a 240V cord.
LAMP REPLACEMENT - Be sure to disconnect the power source before chang-
ing lamps. Always use the specified wattage lamp. (A 600 watt lamp should not be
used on a 750, 1000 watt or Turbo Charge setting).
MOUNTING LOCATION - DO NOT install ballasts in areas of high heat, such
as an attic or a closed closet. DO NOT mount the ballast to the reflector or blow
exhaust air over them. DO NOT stack ballasts on top of each other. DO NOT allow
contact with water. Mount units at least six inches apart. If a unit has any leaking
resin, please relocate to a cooler area or place a fan near the ballasts.
TIMER BOX - If you are connecting a 240V ballast to a timer box, please make
sure that it cuts off both legs when timer is switched off. If you continue to supply
120V to your ballast when the timer is switched off, it may damage your ballast.
HPS/MH - The ballasts operate both metal halide and high pressure sodium lamps.
They will not light mercury vapor lamps.
LAMP RECOMMENDATIONS - The ballasts are designed to provide superior
performance with several lamps manufactured to American specifications. There
are several brands of lamps available for the U.S. market that were made according
to European specifications. We do not recommend using these types of lamps, since
they will provide inconsistent performance with your ballast.
240V WIRING - VERY IMPORTANT! All digital ballasts may malfunction if the
240V circuit has a neutral. The input for the ballast is 2 HOT WIRES and 1 GROUND
WIRE. If you are using a light controller ONLY bring a ground wire and two hot leads
from your electrical panels.
HOT RESTRIKE - It is VERY IMPORTANT that the lamp is given adequate time
to cool down before it is reignited. You should allow a hot lamp to cool for 20-30
minutes before you try to restrike it. Hot restrikes cause permanent lamp failure and
lumen output degradation. Additionally, the lamp should never be turned off before
the lamp reaches full intensity.
POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
LAMP LOOSE
IN SOCKET
Screw lamp firmly into socket. Make sure tab inside the socket makes proper
contact with the base of the lamp. If lamp will not seat properly replace lamp.
INCORRECT
VOLTAGE
Make sure you are using the correct input voltage with ballast. If using
incorrect voltage, disconnect the ballast from the power source immediately.
DEFECTIVE
OR IMPROPER
WIRING
Examine wiring to ensure it agrees with wiring diagrams on ballast label.
Check connections to see that they are secure. If wiring a 240V ballast,
DO NOT use a neutral. The correct wiring is two hot wires and a ground.
POOR ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
Check wiring and lamp contact with socket. Make sure the lamp cord is
firmly seated in output receptacle.
INCORRECT
LAMP
Verify that you are using the proper wattage lamp with ballast.
DO NOT use a lamp manufactured according to European or Asian
specifications as they will not provide consistent performance.
LAMP
DAMAGE
Investigate possibility of outer bulb damage, particularly where glass
meets base. Lamps may have been twisted to firmly into socket.
Look for broken tubes or loose metal parts. Replace lamp.
BREAKER If lamp will not start, reset the breaker by pressing the white button located
on the input side of the ballast.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Follow the troubleshooting tips below. If troubleshooting techniques fail, bring
ballast back to your place of purchase to request warranty service.
