• If any part of the lamp is damaged, replace lamp immediately.
• Disconnect the unit from a power source before replacing lamps or
any other parts.
• When replacing lamps, make sure the lamp has had time to cool before
touching.
• Make sure power cord and lamp cord are connected securely to the unit.
• These products operate at very high temperatures. Keep away from children.
• Glass is required for reflectors using metal halide (MH) lamps for UL listing
to apply. Glass is not required for high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps to
be UL listed.
• Always use a three prong timer rated for 15 amps or more with light systems.
• Do not operate lamps that are a different wattage than the ballast specifies.
• Read all instructions completely before attempting to power on unit. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions for use may result in serious injury or
death, for which the manufacturer and resellers expressly disclaim any and
all liability.
Operating Instructions:
2 Year Limited Warranty Service
1. Make sure the power supply cord and lamp end are properly connected.
2. Ensure the bulb is properly seated in the socket assembly. It should be
tight, but not stressed.
3. Always use a bulb centric to the highest output of the ballast (e.g.630W
bulb/630W ballast).
4. Confirm the ballast is not near any source of moisture or standing water.
5. Plug the power supply cord into an appropriate power supply.
6. After ignition, give your lamp a minimum of 30 seconds to reach full power.
7. Always allow the bulb to cool before re-striking the ballast; we recommend
15 minutes.
8. Ballast can be cleaned using a clean, dry towel. Should the ballast somehow
become wet, turn off main power supply and unplug the unit before attending
to it.
Remember, safety first! Although incredibly rewarding, indoor
growing can present dangerous situations. Never allow standing
water to be present, never hang a ballast from either the power
or lamp cord, and always make sure your equipment is fastened
safely and securely. Your ballast does not require any switches
or re-wiring to change voltage or bulb spectrum. Simply turn off
and unplug the unit and allow bulb to cool before changing cords
or bulbs, respectively.
If the product will not work after you have read the troubleshooting guide and
practiced the troubleshooting options, you are advised to return the light system
to the retailer you purchased it from. The dealer will be able to examine the light
and test its components. If they are not able to repair the light, they will return it
to us for examination and repair/replacement. Do not attempt to repair any
product on your own, as serious injury or death may result. If the retailer is not
able to help you and the light is still under manufacturer’s warranty, you may
contact us for technical support. In some cases, you will be issued an RMA#
(return merchandise authorization number) to return the unit for factory repair.
Complete the warranty form below and return the light with all original
packaging, your receipt of purchase, and a valid RMA# to the address below.
Please pack and ship the light in its original packaging. If it is damaged in
shipment we cannot be responsible and the warranty may be voided. Once
we receive RMA package, it will be repaired or replaced and shipped back
to you. Please note if an additional warranty was purchased and include
the extended warranty sales receipt with your return.

All our ballasts are compatible with Safe
Grow Hydroponic Smart System.

1.Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our Digital Ballast. Please review the following
instructions to ensure you receive the best performance. Each ballast uses
a high temperature, resin-sealed component board for completely silent
operation without a fan. Each unit is burned-in at the factory for approximately
twelve hours to ensure maximum reliability.
Our Digital Ballast uses a mirco-processor similar to your home computer.
To ensure safe operation, it is programmed or a “soft-start” and does not
require an initial surge of power to light the lamp. This increases the lamp life
and allows the end user to start multiple ballasts at the same time without
tripping breakers. In case of auto-shut off, please disconnect from the power
supply, remove the faulty lamp or check for wiring problems, then restart
your ballast.
