IMPORTANT NOTES
Only use this ballast with lamps of the same type and power rating as printed
on the ballast housing.
Only connect this ballast to the power source for which it was designed. This
information is printed on the ballast housing.
The recommended length of the cable from the ballast to the lamp socket
should not exceed 15m.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not power on the ballast without having securely connected a light
assembly (including a lamp) to the lamp supply lead.
When powering on the ballast, ensure that the lamp is igniting successfully. If
it fails to ignite, turn the power off immediately and inspect the lamp for signs
of faults. If the lamp is without defects, disconnect the ballast from the power
immediately as it may be faulty.
To avoid ballast failure, do not stack ballasts or obstruct the ventilation
louvres.
The ballast should be operated in a dry, well-ventilated, dust-free area.
Suitable for indoor use only.
Do not carry the ballast by the power leads.
Ensure all power lead connections are secure and that all cables are
positioned safely.
Do not attempt to open, rewire or reconfigure this ballast. This will void the
warranty and may cause serious injury or death.
