BAL-139X
Warning! To Ensure Proper Operation
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE BALLAST BEFORE connecting or
disconnecting lamps, harnesses or Head Extension Cables.
Maximum distance, 48ft ( 4 x 12ft cables ).
Ballast Operation
The Mini-Flo Ballast operates remote from the fixture. Connect the
Mini-Flo lamp harness to the extension cable or the Ballast. After the
lamp is properly installed, the Ballast can be turned on. Avoid
operating in temperatures above 125°F (51°C).
(Note: The dimmer should be full up when striking the lamp. Once the lamp
has come up to full temperature, in 3-5 minutes, then dim to the desired light
level.)
In cold temperatures the Ballast may take longer to ignite the lamp. If it does
not ignite within 5 seconds, switch the ballast to OFF, and try again. If lamp
does not strike after 2 or 3 attempts, turn Ballast off, check that the harness,
lamp or any extension connections are secure and restrike.
The BAL-139X power connection is a 4-Pin XLR connector.
Note: Use external power supply (PWS-153X) to operate on
90-230VAC.
1) Turn up dimmer to full.
2) Insert the lamp harness connector into the
receptacle on the ballast.
3) Turn on the power switch.
4) The dimmer knob will adjust the light level.

BAL-239X
The BAL-239X operates two
fixtures. The ballast has individual
power switches and individual
dimmers for each fixture.
The Bal-239X has two power options:
A) Operates on 90 – 230VAC
B) Operates on 12VDC
IEC power cables (USA / Euro) and
4-Pin xlr battery cable is included
with the BAL-239X.
Note: The two power input
connectors are isolated. There is
no electrical hazard in having both
power systems plugged in at the
same time. This can be useful for
example; while rigging a car the
lights can operate on AC power and
save battery power. As soon as the
AC line is disconnected the DC
power automatically takes over
without an interruption in the light
output.
