POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
LAMP LOOSE
IN SOCKETS
Make sure that the lamp is fully inserted into the sockets and that the
sockets are in the closed position.
INCORRECT
VOLTAGE
Make sure you are using the correct input voltage with ballast. If using
incorrect voltage, disconnect the ballast from the power source immediately.
DEFECTIVE
OR IMPROPER
WIRING
Examine wiring to ensure it agrees with wiring diagrams on ballast label.
Check connections to see that they are secure. If wiring a 240V ballast,
DO NOT use a neutral. The correct wiring is two hot wires and a ground.
POOR ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
Check wiring and lamp contact with socket. Make sure the lamp cord is
firmly seated in output receptacle.
INCORRECT
LAMP
Verify that you are using a 1000 W double ended lamp. Lamps manufactured
according to European or Asian specifications will not provide consistent performance.
LAMP
DAMAGE
Investigate possibility of outer bulb damage.
Look for broken tubes or loose metal parts. Replace lamp.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Follow the troubleshooting tips below. If troubleshooting techniques fail, bring
ballast back to your place of purchase to request warranty service.

SAFETY FIRST!
  DO NOT alter or modify this unit in any way. It may cause bodily injury or
death as this is a high power electrical device.
DO NOT submerse in water or splash water on the unit.
DO NOT plug or unplug the lamp cord while the ballast is energized.
These high performance, high frequency electronic ballasts are extremely efficient.
They have a high power factor and high luminous efficacy. It’s stable performance
creates constant power output even when power fluctuates (power surge). Short
circuit protection technology prevents damage to the lamp and other ballasts
connected to the same circuit.
1. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
  DO NOT alter or modify the electronic ballast in any way.
Not only may it damage the unit, it will void the warranty.
  Lamp power rating must match electronic ballast power rating.
3. NOTES
  The Sun System One DE Electronic Ballast is designed to operate
1000 W double ended H.I.D. lamps.
  This unit offers short-circuit and power fluctuation.
 Features internal built-in circuit breaker.

This 902238 Sun System One DE 1000 Watt 120/240V ballast offers our exclusive Smart
Volt®feature – it is a “smart” ballast that will operate on either 120, 208 or 240
volt power by simply plugging in the appropriate power cord. It comes with a
120 volt power cord. If you wish to run this ballast on 208 or 240 volt, you must
purchase the 240 volt power cord separately (part #903088 six foot or #903089
twelve foot).
MOUNTING LOCATION - DO NOT install ballasts in areas of high heat, such
as an attic or a closed closet. DO NOT mount the ballast to the reflector or blow
exhaust air over them. DO NOT stack ballasts on top of each other. DO NOT allow
contact with water. Mount units at least six inches apart. If a unit has any leaking
resin, please relocate to a cooler area or place a fan near the ballasts.
TIMER BOX - If you are connecting a 240 V ballast to a timer box, please make
sure that it cuts off both legs when timer is switched off. If you continue to supply
120 V to your ballast when the timer is switched off, it may damage your ballast.
HPS/MH - The ballasts operate both metal halide and high pressure sodium lamps.
They will not operate mercury vapor lamps.
PLEASE NOTE: The 750 W ballast is HPS only.
LAMP RECOMMENDATIONS - The ballasts are designed to provide superior
performance with several lamps manufactured to American specifications. There
are several brands of lamps available for the U.S. market that were made according
to European specifications. We do not recommend using these types of lamps, since
they will provide inconsistent performance with your ballast.
240V WIRING - VERY IMPORTANT! All digital ballasts may malfunction if the
240V circuit has a neutral. The input for the ballast is 2 HOT WIRES and 1 GROUND
WIRE. If you are using a light controller ONLY bring a ground wire and two hot leads
from your electrical panels.
HOT RESTRIKE - It is VERY IMPORTANT that the lamp is given adequate time
to cool down before it is reignited. You should allow a hot lamp to cool for 20-30
minutes before you try to restrike it. Hot restrikes cause permanent lamp failure and
lumen output degradation. Additionally, the lamp should never be turned off before
the lamp reaches full intensity.
LAMP REPLACEMENT - Be sure to disconnect the power source before changing
lamps. Always use the specified wattage lamp. (A 400 W halide lamp should not be
used in a 600 W ballast).
Connect “Sun System®” lamp cord with
male plug to female receptacle on ballast

ERROR CODES - If the ballast encounters any abnormal conditions the built in
self-diagnostic feature will display easily identifiable error codes. Error codes can
be identified by the number of flashes made by the green LED marked “turbo”.
1 Flash = Ballast Protection: This code means that the ballast has gone into
a locked mode to protect itself. This may be followed by another code
to help troubleshoot the cause.
2 Flash = Bad Lamp/Short Circuit: This code means that the ballast has a
bad connection somewhere between the ballast and lamp. Reasons
can include a bad lamp, loose lamp, loose lamp cord, a short in the
cord or reflector, or a short in the ballast receptacle.
3 Flash = Low Voltage: This code means the power coming from the outlet
to your ballast is not sufficient to power the unit.
4 Flash = Over Temperature: this code means the ballast has shut itself off
due to overheating (>140° F).
5 Flash = Over Voltage: This code means the power from the outlet to your
ballast has exceeded the maximum allowed voltage.
6 Flash = Waiting for ignition: This code means the ballast is waiting to
start the lamp. The first attempt will be after a minute and the next
four attempts follow in five minute intervals. The ballast will try for
21 minutes total before waiting for the next light cycle. Reasons for
this code include open circuit (loose lamp or lamp wire connection),
and the lamp being too hot to reignite.
7 Flash = Lamp Fault: incorrect/non compatible lamp will not work with
ballast. Lamp is EU standard.
