Control a lamp with a lower power rating then its ballast
Warning!
When fitting a lamp with a lower output then its ballast, ALWAYS
adjust the output level of the ballast before switching the light on. Failing to
do will cause immediate damage to the lamp.
A ballast may be used to control a lamp with a lower power output then the
nominal value of the ballast. For example: a 1000 watt ballast set at 750 watt
can be used to control a 750 watt lamp. To prevent damage to the light, the
controller output must be adjusted to the appropriate value.
•
Disconnect the ballast(s) from the mains
•
Make sure the display mode of the controller is set to represent the
output power of your ballast, NOT of your lamp (see paragraph 5.3)
•
Adjust the ballast output to match the wattage of the lamp (see
paragraph 6.1)
•
Exchange the lamps of all connected ballasts
•
Reconnect the ballast to the mains.
