OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Electronic Ballast EB 4000 Booster
1. General Remarks
Please read the following operating instructions very carefully before using the
Electronic Ballast (EB) the first time. They contain important information and
instructions for the safety, use and maintenance of the appliance. For your own safety
please follow all safety instructions and warnings.
Keep the operating instructions carefully in a safe place and pass them to any future
owner.
2. Important Safety
2.1 Warning - High voltages inside ballast! Danger to life!
Instructions
Disconnect EB from power supply before opening (pull out the line plug). Do not pull
on the connection cable, but on the plug, to disconnect the EB from mains. Any repairs
or changing of the line plug must only be carried out by qualified personnel or ARRI-
service departments.
2.2 Before connecting the Electronic Ballast ensure that the power supply is correctly
wired. Do not use without adequate earth connection unless either an isolation
transformer or an earth-leakage trip is employed.
2.3 Lamphead must be disconnected from Electronic Ballast and Electronic Ballast must
be disconnected from mains before fitting or replacing a lamp.
2.4 The Electronic Ballast must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting
either head or supply cable. Do not use other than original cables and connectors with
permitted cross section of the leads. Use only luminaires equipped with an UV safety
screen. Safety measures must realize to prevent operation of luminaires with missing or
defective UV safety screen.
2.5 The Electronic Ballast satisfies the standards of the recognized state of the
engineering and the pertinent safety regulation of DIN EN 60598/1.
2.6 Supply voltage must not exceed the ranges that are given in the "Technical Data"
(see page 11). Check that the power supply voltage and wiring are suitable for the
ballast to be used. Supply voltages which are greater or less than that specified for the
ballast can cause injury to the user as well as damage to the ballast.
The electronic of the EB is built in a housing with protective class I and protective rate
IP 20.
Ambient operating temperatures must be between -10°C and + 50°C!
The air slots for ventilation at front panel and rear side should never be covered or
obstructed.
The EB must only be placed in a adequately ventilated cabinet or on solid, flat and dry
ground. Temperature of the ground should be less than 50°C. The appearing heat loss in
4 kW operation is about 450 W per ballast. When mounting in a cabinet slide rails with
appropriate payloads have to be used.
Protect EB against direct sunshine. The EB must be protected against splash and drip-
water (acc. to protective rate IP 20).
Do not operate the EB in high humidity (dew) or in aggressive or explosive gas-air
mixtures.
2.7 The Electronic Ballast must be used only according to the directions in this
"Operating Instruction". The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages caused by
unintended use or wrong operation.
