The Growlite 315W Electronic Ballast is highly efficient and energy-saving with a high power factor, high luminous
efficacy, as well as lower THD. It fires both SE and DE CMH 315W lamps, operates with 120/208/240/277VAC inputs
(95-305v). This ballast is built with LED Status Display so that the user can understand it’s working conditions and
protections:
• Normal operation (Display shows Input Voltage and Wattage)
• Short circuit protection (Display shows “I--I”)
• Open circuit protection (Display shows “-I I-”)
• Under voltage protection (Display shows “LU(V)” & Input Voltage)
• Over voltage protection (Display shows “HU(V)” & Input Voltage)
• Thermal protection (Display shows Inner Ballast Temperature and Wattage)
• Ignition failure protection
• End of lamp life (EOL) protection technology

1.
Pre-Use Procedures
a. The 315W Electronic Ballast (120V/277V) is able to work within the range of 95V to 305V. Please
confirm the input power cord before use.
b. Operating temperature range: -13°F ~ +122°F (-25°C ~ +50°C), Max case temperature (TC): 185°F (85°C).
c. Ensure the lamp power and lamp voltage match the specifications of 315W Electronic Ballast.
d. Never unplug the power plug or detach the lamp cord from the lamp socket without turning the power supply
off first.
e. Mounting Location
i. Do not install ballasts in areas of extremely high temperature such as an attic or a closed closet.
ii. Do not mount the ballast to the reflector or blow exhaust air over the ballast.
iii. Do not stack ballast on top of each other.
iv. Do not allow contact with water.
v. Mount unit at least 6” (15cm) apart.
f.
If a unit ever leaks resin, please turn off power supply, and allow it to cool down, relocate to cooler area
or install a fan near the ballast for cooling.
