Ballast Operation
The 120 VAC Ballast requires 110 to 130 Volts AC 50/60 Hertz on an
earth grounded circuit; the 230 VAC Ballast requires 220 to 240 Volts
AC on an earth grounded circuit. The electronic Ballast operates at a
high frequency of 25KHz. It is dead–quiet, instant–on and lightweight.
The Ballast operates remote from the fixture. Connect the Extension
cable to the Ballast and the Flathead Fixture. After the lamps are
properly installed the Ballast can be turned on.
Cold Temperature Operation
The Select Ballast series is designed to operate at temperatures from
14F to 122F (–10C to +50C). In cold temperatures, the Ballast may
not strike the lamp (s) instantly. Switch the Ballast to OFF, wait seven
seconds and try again. If the Ballast does not strike after two or three
attempts, turn off the Ballast, check that the Extension and the
Flathead connections are secure and re-strike. Once operating for a
few minutes, the Lamps should re-strike instantly.
