Important Safety Instructions
Product Overview
• Disconnect EB from mains power before power supply is being prepa-
red. Do not pull connection cable with force.
• Before connecting the EB to mains power, ensure that the socket is
correctly wired.
• The lamphead must be disconnected from power before changing or
tting the lamp.
• EB must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting the lam-
phead with the lamp head cable. To avoid any danger to the user and
EB, we highly recommend unsing our original LIGHTMAN cables and
connectors.
• Working temperature of the EB is guaranteed between - 20°C and 50°C
• Do not operate the EB in high humidity or explosive gas environments
• within 3 minutes after startup, the ballast is locked and all operations
are invalid (default frequency is 75Hz, brightness is 100%)
The 25/40 electronic ballast from our LIGHTMAN series provides an
automatic switchable ballast for 2500W and 4000W metal halide lamps. It
features high efciency, power density and automatic problem analysis.
• Flicker-free operation – up to 10‘000 fps (frames per second)
• uctuation of output light is less than 3%
• compared to inductive EB, light intensity is increased by at least 5%
• constant power output
• constant color temperature
• 50% - 100% power output adjustment
• at least 20% increase of service life (lamp)
• Output frequency: 50 - 1000Hz, Fine-Tuning range: 800Hz - 1200Hz
• DMX 512 Protocol

Operational Instructions
Energizing System
1. Check if the EB is disconnected from mains supply before connecting
cables to the lamp head.
2. Check if the main circuit break switch of the EB is in the off position
3. Conrm if the lamp head meets the requirements of the EB
4. Check the lamp head cable for visible damages
5. If you followed all of these quick checks, you can connect the EB to
the mains supply and connect the lamphead.
6. You are now ready to start the EB and change the settings.
Adjusting the System
1. After preparing everything, you can now change your settings on the
display of the EB.
2. The LCD display turns on when the main circuit breaker is in the ON
position.
3. It should light up the L3 indicator (green)
4. If ground connection is correct, L4 indicator is on. If this is not the
case, check the power supply and socket.
5. Turn on the ignition switch to ON - the light will ignite within 3 se-
conds. At the same time, L1 indicator turns on (yellow)
6. Wait for 3 minutes until the lamp is fully heated and the color tempe-
rature and brightness have a stable output. Then you can adjust the
brightness value and frequency as needed.

Notice and Maintenance
1. LED‘s operating temperature range must be guaranteed between - 20°C
to +40°C. Overheating or undercooling can both reduce the xtures life
span.
2. The product must be placed on a solit, at and dry surface. The surface
temperature should be less than 50°C. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight
and operation in an enviroment with high humidity or explosive gas.
3. Do not beat, knock or shake the light violently or it may inuence the
normal use of the light.
4. Do not cover lamps with paper, cloth or similar materials that could
ignite due to high temperature.
5. Put the lamp in a cool and dry place when you do not use it for a long
time.
6. Avoid any ammable liquid, water or metal material entering the machi-
ne. Cut off the power supply as soon as this happens.
7. Do not use machines in dirty and dusty environments and clean them
regularly.
8. The technicians must get professional trainings to install, operate or
repair LED‘s.
9. If any equipment from Lightstar doesn‘t work properly, please get in
contact with a Lightstar special repair department or professional techni-
cian. Do not disassemble or reassemble the parts by yourself.
