The Growlite 1000W Electronic Ballast is highly efficient and energy-saving with a high power factor, high luminous
efficacy, as well as lower THD.
The Growlite 1000W ballast will light both Metal Halide (MH) & High
Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps as well, operate 120/208/240/277V (90-305V). It is equipped with short circuit
and open circuit protection, ignition failure protection, and end of lamp life protection technology. It’s high
operating frequency sine wave (>60 kHz) provides constant power output to the lamp, prolongs lamp
life, and increases light efficiency.
It is strongly recommended you read all details below
1.
Pre-Use Procedures
a. The 1000W Electronic Ballast (120V/277V) is able to work within the range of 90V to 305V. Please
confirm the input power before use.
b. Operating temperature range: -22°F ~ +122°F (-30°C ~ +50°C), Max case temperature (TC): 194°F (90°C).
c. Ensure the lamp power and lamp voltage match the specifications of 1000W electronic ballast.
For maximum performance, the lamp voltage of 400W and 600W should have a rated operating range of
90V to 145V. Lamp voltage of 1000W MH/HPS should have a rated operating range of 210V to 280V for
North American model lamps. Different electronic ballast’s are required to run European style 1000W
HPS/ MH lamps with lamp voltage between 90V to 140V.
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 ballasts 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.
2.
Operating Procedures
a. Connect output wires to lamp socket or as instructed by the lamp fixture’s manufacturer.
b. Ensure bulb is installed into fixture properly.
c. Plug the power connection into the power supply socket.
