FIXTURE SETUP:

1. Remove the system from the box along with all additional parts.

2. These systems do not require much setup.

3. Insert a DE lamp into a DE reflector. (FIG. 1) Insert each lamp wire of the double-ended

lamp into both socket slots. Make sure the wires are straight. Push both ends of lamp

rmly down into the metal clips. Slide each socket slider lock over both ends of the

lamp to secure the lamp into place.

4. Hang the xture using V-hangers provided (FIG. 3). Use an eye bolt or some other means

of securely hanging from the ceiling. Sun Grip®Push Button Light Hangers (#710122,

#710114, #710116 & #710123), (FIG. 2), Sky Hook™ Light Hangers (#710119) or jack

chain (#350205) may be used to adjust the hanging height.

5. Plug the unit into the proper NEMA congured receptacle or hardwire unit depending

on model voltage.

NOTES

   This Sun System® 1000 WATT DE BOSS® COM Commercial Etelligent™ Electronic

Ballast is designed to operate 1000 Watt double-ended H.I.D. lamps.

  This unit offers short-circuit and power fluctuation protection.

  Features internal built-in circuit breaker.

WIRING - VERY IMPORTANT! All digital ballasts may malfunction if the 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 - The 1000 Watt DE Boss®COM features a hot restrike function to

protect the lamp and ballast. This function allows the ballast to reignite the lamp once it has

cooled. In the event of a power interruption or failed ignition, the ballast will wait one minute

and attempt to restart the lamp. If the lamp does not ignite at that time, it will make four

more attempts in ve minute intervals. If the ballast has ran though the complete sequence

(1 minute -5 minutes -5 minutes -5 minutes -5 minutes), the ballast will go into a locked

mode. The ballast will not begin the ignition sequence again until it has been disconnected

from power. This can be achieved by unplugging the ballast and plugging it back in or

waiting until the next set timer cycle. Do not unplug the ballast until it has completed the full

twenty-six minute sequence.

This 906612 Sun System® 1 DE BOSS® COM 1000 Watt 277 Volt xture has a

hard-wired 6 foot 277 Volt power cord with a L7-15p 277 Volt twist lock plug.

SAFETY FIRST!

  DO NOT alter or modify this unit in any way. Unit 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, ultra high frequency electronic ballasts are extremely efcient.

They have a high power factor and high luminous efcacy. Their 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.

LAMP REPLACEMENT - Be sure to disconnect the power source before changing lamps.

Always use the specied wattage lamp. (ie: A 400 Watt halide lamp should NOT be used in a

600 Watt ballast).

TIMER BOX - If you are connecting a 277 volt ballast to a timer box, please make sure that it

cuts off both legs when timer is switched off. If you continue to supply voltage to your ballast when

the timer is switched off, it may damage your ballast.

LAMP RECOMMENDATIONS - The ballasts are designed to provide superior performance

with several lamps manufactured to American specications. There are several brands of lamps

available for the U.S. market that were made according to European specications. We do not

recommend using these types of lamps, since they will provide inconsistent performance with your

ballast.

ERROR CODES - If the ballast encounters any abnormal conditions the built-in

self-diagnostic feature will display easily identiable error codes. Error codes can be

identied 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 sufcient 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 = Lamp Fault: Incorrect/non compatible lamp will not work with ballast.

The Sun System® 1 Etelligent™ digital lighting controller enables the grower to control up to 400

xtures. Features an industry rst, the ability to control any Sun System® Etelligent™ compatible
