Ballast
The ballast is located in the chassis above and forward of the power supply. The ballast steps up power
from the power supply to ignite the lamp module.
DANGER
Do not attempt to measure the output voltage from the ballast when the lamp strikes. High
voltage produced by the ballast to strike the lamp can ruin test instruments as well as cause
personal injury.
