Mounting the Fixture
Ballast Operation
1) Cut the Flex Arm wire to desired length.
2) Lock knobs on the Mount Plate and
Lamp Harness hold the Flex Arm wire in place.
3) Use screws or adhesive tape to rig the Mount
Plate. Use two plates for greater stability.
Warning! To Ensure Proper Operation
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE BALLAST BEFORE connecting or disconnecting
lamps, harnesses or Head Extension Cables. Maximum distance is 48ft
(4 x 12ft cables).
Ballast Operation
The Mini-Flo Ballast operates remote from the xture. Connect the Mini-Flo
lamp harness to the extension cable or the Ballast. After the lamp is prop-
erly 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.

5
The BAL-139X power connection is a
4-Pin XLR connector.
Note: Use external power supply (PWS-1524X)
to operate on 100-250VAC.
1) Turn dimmer up 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.
