1.Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Efinity Electronic Ballast. Please review
the following instructions to ensure you receive the best perfor
mance. Each ballast uses a high temperature,resin-sealed compo
nent board for completely silent operation. Each unit is burned-in at
the factory for approximately twelve hours to ensure maximum
reliability.
E-Ballasts use a micro-processor similar to your home computer.
This micro-processor allows the E-Ballast to run halide or sodium
lamps. It is programmed for a "soft-start" and does not require an
initial surge of power to light the lamp. This increase the lamp life
and allows the end user to start multiple ballasts ballasts at the
same time without tripping breakers. To ensure safe operation, this
Programmed for a "soft-start" and does not require an initial surge
of power to light or missing lamp.In case of auto-shutoff, please
disconnect from the power supply, remove the faulty lamp or check
for wiring problems,wait for some minutes then restart your ballast.
