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, low frequency square wave 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 Galaxy LEC Electronic Ballast is designed to operate 315 watt ceramic
metal halide lamps.
This unit offers short-circuit and power fluctuation.

Technology 315 Watt 120V - 240V Ballast 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 #903082 six foot or #903084 twenty foot).

OUTPUT TO HPS/MH LAMP
NOTE
- Until the lamp has achieved at least 10 hours of operation, the lamp should
never be turned off sooner than 2 minutes. This includes installation test. In cases
where this happens—you need to wait 1 hour before switching the lamp on again.
LAMP REPLACEMENT
- Be sure to disconnect the power source before
changing lamps. Always use a 315 watt Ceramic Metal Halide lamp
(ANSI C182/0 or C182).
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 240V ballast to a timer box, please make
sure that it cuts off both legs when timer is switched off. If you continue to supply
120V to your ballast when the timer is switched off, it may damage 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.
CONNECT APPROPRIATE
AC POWER PLUG HERE
906270 includes 120V cord
(purchase 208 or 240V
separately).
906272 includes hardwired
277V cord
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.
