OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Electronic Ballast EB MAX 2,5/4
1. General Remarks
Please read the following operating instructions very carefully before using the
Electronic Ballast (EB) the first time. They contain important information and
instructions for the safety, use and maintenance of the appliance. For your own
safety please follow all safety instructions and warnings.
Keep the operating instructions carefully in a safe place and pass them to any
future owner.
2. Important Safety
2.1 Warning - High voltages! Danger to life!
Instructions
Disconnect EB from power supply before opening (pull out the line plug). Do not
pull on the connection cable, but on the plug, to disconnect the EB from mains.
Any repairs or changing of the line plug must only be carried out by qualified
personnel or ARRI-service departments.
2.2
The line plug must be suitable for the ballast input current (see max. current
in "Technical Data", page 20). National standards must be observed.
The cores in the main cable are colored in accordance with following code:
Protective earth: green/yellow
Neutral:
blue
Live (Phase):
brown
Before connecting the Electronic Ballast ensure that the power supply is
correctly wired. Do not use without adequate earth connection. If the protective
conductor is live, the socket must under no circumstances be used.
For operation of the device an AC/DC sensitive residual current protective
devices (RCD type B) should be used.
Note:
In order to avoid unwanted tripping due to leaking currents and transient
disturbances, care shall be taken that the collective leakage current of
equipment on the load side of a residual current device is less than 1/3 of its
rated residual current.
The typical leakage current of this device is 4.0 mA (according EN 60598-1:
2015, appendix G).
2.3
Lamphead must be disconnected from Electronic Ballast or Electronic
Ballast must be disconnected from mains before fitting or replacing a lamp.
2.4
The Electronic Ballast must be switched off before connecting or
disconnecting either head or supply cable. Do not use other than original ARRI
cables and connectors with permitted cross section of the leads. The ballast is
only suitable for specified ARRI lampheads (see fig. 1, page 22). Using other
than original ARRI cables or lampheads may cause injury to the user and/or
damage to the ballast.
2.5
The electronic ballast EB MAX 2.5/4 complies with the technical regulations
and the safety requirements EN 60598-2-17 and EN 61347-2-12 for electrical
appliances
Note:
When operating in no-load mode (for example, missing lamp in the
lamphead) the output voltage at the lamp connector is up to 360 V!
