MOUNTING THE BALLAST
ON THE WALL
• Remove the mounting screws and wall
mount template from the hardware bag.
• Using the template, mark the mounting
screw positions on the wall. It is
recommended that the screws be mounted
in a wall stud. If that is not possible, please
use drywall anchors rated for at least 15
pounds.
• Install the screws into the stud. Use the end
of the template as a depth gauge to install to
the proper depth.
• Slide the ballast onto the screws.
• We recommend that you mount the ballast
vertically, with the output connector towards
the bottom, for optimal cooling.

DIMMABLE NOTES
• When starting a cool lamp, the ballast
will apply 100% power for 15 minutes to
properly heat the gasses in the lamp. The
dimming feature will not operate during this
initial start-up period, but you can preset
the dimming ratio during this time without
impacting the warm up. After the warm up
is complete, the ballast will run at the set
dimming ratio.
• Press the dimming button to cycle through
the dimming levels ( FIGURE 5 ). The
appropriate LED indicator will light up to
indicate selected dimming level (60%, 75%,
100%, Super).
• The Phantom line of ballasts has built-in hot-
restrike programming to protect the lamp and
ballast in the event of the ballast turning off
unexpectedly. The ballast will not attempt to
restart a hot lamp for at least 15 minutes. If
your lamp fails to start immediately, DO NOT
cycle the power on and off. This can damage
the lamp and ballast. If after 30 minutes your
lamp is still not lit, shut off power to the
ballast, and reconnect. This will begin the
startup sequence again.
