DOUBLE-ENDED DIGITAL BALLAST
PHB4010

INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
The Phantom Ballast Commercial DE is an ideal ballast choice for ecient growing. It was
created with state-of-the-art microprocessor technology to ulize the industry’s double-
ended 1000W HPS lamps. It operates on a 120/208/240V, 50/60 Hz power supply.
This ballast (and all 40 Series Phantom Ballasts) includes a Control Port on the side panel
which allows connecon to and data communicaon with the Autopilot PX1 Lighng
Controller via USB. Use with the PX1 is oponal—the 40 series ballasts operate perfectly
with standard manual control when not connected to a PX1. The power cord for the 40
Series ballasts now includes a ferrite collar which suppresses radio frequency interference.
WARNINGS
• This ballast and the Control Port are compatible only with the Autopilot PX1 Lighting
Controller. Do not connect any other device to the Control Port. Any attempt to
connect it to an unrelated device or control it with an incompatible controller may
result in damage to the ballast and will void the warranty.
• Use this ballast in greenhouses or indoor applications only. Position it in an area
away from excessive heat or contact with liquids.
• This ballast does not rely on the luminaire enclosure for protection against accidental
contact with live parts.
• For remote operations, use this ballast with a maximum lamp cord of 15 feet.
• Disconnect the ballast from the power supply before performing any maintenance,
lamp changes, or other modifications.
• Contact the retailer or distributor for service if the ballast does not work after
confirming the power connection, output connection, and bulb operation.
• Opening the ballast will void the warranty.
• Lamps with built-in ignitors will not work with this ballast. Not for use with external
ignitors.
• Always disconnect ballast’s power cord before moving the unit or changing lamps.
• This product may cause interference to radio equipment and should not be installed
near maritime safety communications equipment or other critical navigation or
communication equipment operating between 0.45-30 MHz.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
For proper lamp break-in, we recommend that you run the ballast and bulb at 100%
power for at least 12 straight hours aer inial startup. This will improve lamp life and
performance.
1. Find a suitable locaon for the ballast with sucient cooling and away from any heat
source.
2. Install the lamp rmly into the lamp socket of the reector and connect the Lock &
Seal lamp cord to the ballast.
3. Remove the power cord from the box. Plug the power cord into the power source
(electrical outlet).
4. Plug the power cord into the power source (electrical outlet).
5. Once lamp has red, set your desired dimming rao. Please note that the ballast
dims or raises output gradually to protect the lamp, so you might not see an instant
increase upon changing your output percentage.

• Using the template on the left, mark the mounting screw positions on the wall.
Screws need to be 145mm apart to ensure the screw head can be inserted into the
hole on the back of the ballast. It is recommended that the screws be mounted in a

wall stud. If that is not possible, please use drywall anchors rated for at least 15 pounds.
• Install the screws (not provided) into the stud. Install to the proper depth of 15mm.
• Slide the ballast onto the screws.
• We recommend that you mount the ballast vertically, with the output connector towards the bottom, for
optimal cooling.
• Aside the vertical hanging way stated above, there are three other ways to utilize this ballast. Simply sit it
on the floor in a convenient location; use the holes in the end plate flanges to hard-mount the ballast into
place with bolts (not provided); or hang the ballast with attached style reflectors (instructions included within
reflector package).
NOTES ON DIMMING
• When a USB cable is connected to the ballast’s control port, manual dimming is defeated. The power-level
LEDs over the Dimming button on the rear panel will go dark, and the LED next to the control port will go on.
When/if the USB cable is disconnected from the control port, dimming control is returned to the Dimming
button after a short delay, indicated by those LEDs becoming active again after start-up.
• Press the dimming button to cycle through the dimming levels. The appropriate LED indicator will light up to
indicate selected dimming level (60%, 75%, 100%, Super).
• This ballast has built-in hot-restrike programming to protect the lamp and ballast in the event of the ballast
turning off unexpectedly. The ballast will not attempt to restart a hot lamp for at least 15 minutes. If your
lamp fails to start immediately, DO NOT cycle the power on and off. This can damage the lamp and ballast.
If after 30 minutes your lamp is still not lit, shut off power to the ballast, and reconnect. This will begin the
startup sequence again.

Amperage – Input current or draw.

this case, output to the lamp. Power factor is measured between 0-1; the closer you get to 1, the more eecve the
circuit is said to be. The ballast’s power factor is greater than .99.
Ignitor Voltage – Ballast output during ignion sequence.

desirable in an electronic ballast applicaon.

wave would have a CF of 1.414. Given that some harmonics must exist in an electrical system, the crest factor must
always be higher than 1.414. Therefore, the closer the ballast is to a CF of 1.414, the easier it is on the lamp.
