Quick Start

Connect to the AC supply, plug the luminaire into the output connector, power up using the
power switch and press Start. The lamp should strike and will normally take a couple of minutes
to warm up. Should there be a problem the ballast will shut down and indicate what is wrong.

Power in

The EB85P/EB125P should be connected to an AC supply in the range 90-265V or 100-265V for
EB180P. If the input voltage dips below the minimum rated value the ballast will switch into an
under-voltage mode — the lamp will keep running, but switches to a low power until the voltage
is restored. In the case of severe under-voltage (less than about 65V) the ballast will shut down.
Over-voltage on the input should be avoided as this can lead to damage.

The Earth wire (green/yellow) in the mains cable must be connected to the supply safety earth to
ensure operator safety.

Output connectors

The connectors may be able to supply a range of different lamp powers depending on the wiring
configuration. This is indicated under each output socket. Only one lamp may be connected at
any time.

Output Connector

The ballast will automatically detect which socket is in use and apply the appropriate power to
the lamp. If an 1800W lamp is detected the mode LED will flash.
