Full Product Manual
Features:
Soft Start Technology ensures that lamp start-up is as lamp friendly as possible while maintaining consistent
ignition. Randomized firing sequencing allows large ballast installations to be turned on simultaneously without
taxing circuit breakers or switches.

50 Hertz to 60 Hertz operation allows for bulb brand
and type versatility
Operating Instructions:
1. Make sure the power supply cord and lamp lead are properly connected.
2. Ensure the bulb is properly seated in the socket assembly. It should be tight, but not stressed.
3. Always use a bulb centric to the highest output of the ballast (e.g. 1000 Watt bulb/1000 Watt ballast, 600
Watt bulb/600 Watt ballast, etc.)
4. Confirm the ballast is not near any source of moisture or standing water.
5. Check the sealed bearing fan to confirm it is free from any obstruction. This should be periodically checked
to make sure it stays clear and clean.
6. Plug the power supply cord into an appropriate power supply.
7. After ignition, give your lamp a minimum of 30 seconds to reach full power.
8. Always allow the bulb to cool before re-striking the ballast; we recommend 15 minutes.
9. Ballast can be cleaned using a clean, dry towel. Should the ballast somehow become wet, turn off main
power supply and unplug the unit before attending to it.
10. Allow 10 seconds between power adjustments when using the Dimmer Switch. This will allow the ballast
sufficient time to gather electrical charge to increase wattage output.
Remember, safety first. Although incredibly rewarding, indoor growing can present dangerous situations. Never allow
standing water to be present, never hang a ballast from either the power or lamp cord, and always make sure your
equipment is fastened safely and securely. Your ballast does not require any switches or re-wiring to change voltage
or bulb spectrum. Simply turn off and unplug the unit and allow bulb to cool before changing cords or bulbs,
respectively.
