Lumatek Ultimate 600W 240V/400V
Remote Electronic Ballast Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Lumatek Ultimate Remote
Electronic Ballast. We are certain you will be more than
satisfied for years to come.
Lumatek Ultimate 600 EU/UK Remote Electronic Ballasts have
been developed to drive 400Watt/600Watt 240Volt and
professional 600Watt 400Volt HPS and MH horticultural lamps,
designed specifically for plant cultivation. Lumatek Ultimate
Electronic Ballasts use 240V mains supply to power 240V MH,
HPS and 400V HPS lamps only.
Damage to the ballast and electronic circuitry as a result of
incorrect installation and use revokes your warranty, so we
recommend you read this manual carefully before installing
your electronic ballast.
Installation. Please comply with local installation regulations.
1. Keep distance between your ballasts to insure a free air flow.
Keep at least 5 cm distance between individual ballasts. Mount
ballasts on a non-combustible material and not on the floor
where it could come into contact with water or nutrients. These
ballasts are for indoor use only. Do not use in atmospheric
conditions exceeding:
Max Ambient Temperature: 65C, Min Ambient Temperature:
-10C. Max Humidity RO: 85%
2. Carefully insert a compatible lamp into the reflector, ensuring
full contact. Ensure ballast wattage matches lamp wattage;
select 400W & 400SL settings for 400W lamps and any setting
for 600W lamps. Make sure you have dry hands when locating
the lamp. We recommend you use a cloth when handling the
lamp. Connect reflector cable to ballast output cable ensuring a
good connection.
3. Plug your Lumatek Ultimate ballast into a lighting contactor
relay. To protect timer against the inductive load of the ballast,
we recommend plugging the ballast 240V power plug into a
lighting contactor relay, which can then be plugged into a timer
and then into the mains supply. Do not plug ballast into
domestic timer directly. Switch on. If unit fails to ignite lamp;
switch off at mains, remove lamp and repeat steps 2. and 3.
above. Otherwise contact your retailer.
When replacing a lamp, always switch off ballast first by
removing plug from power supply. Never switch off lamp by
removing lamp cable from a live ballast.
Super Lumens switch and power output controller; the
control switch on the output side of your Lumatek Ultimate
ballast allows you to adjust your light output depending on
your specific needs. Your Lumatek ballast comes with a
four-phase controller enabling you to set the output at your
required setting. In addition to being able to power different
wattage lamps and dim your lights, the Super Lumens feature
on your Lumatek ballast enables you to boost your light output
by up to 10%.
When using the dimming function or Super Lumens feature on
your Lumatek ballast, be sure to allow the lamp to run
continuously for 10 minutes before changing settings. Rapidly
switching the setting on your Lumatek ballast may cause harm
to the lamp. To change output settings on your Lumatek ballast
simply click the control switch into one of its four preset
positions. The soft dim feature utilizes a gradual change
between settings at a rate of 150W per 60 seconds to help
prolong lamp-life. The change in light intensity will not be
obvious but can be easily demonstrated with a light meter.
Hot re-strike of lamps. It is very important that the lamp is
given adequate time to cool down before it is re-ignited (10
min). Hot re-strike causes premature lamp failure and lumen
output degradation. Additionally, the lamp should never be
turned off before it has reached full intensity. In the event of a
power surge or interruption causing the ballast safety system
to switch off to protect lamp and ballast, the Auto-start facility
will monitor when the lamp can be reignited.
The Lumatek Ultimate ballast is tested for EMI
(electro-magnetic radiation) and has met the highest standards.
To help prevent against EMI, mount ballast as close as possible
to the reflector but not in the lamp's direct light (avoid
unnecessary heat).The shorter the lead to the lamp, the less
chance of EMI. Do not coil excess wiring, particularly the lamp
lead. Keep mains lead and lamp lead separated to avoid
potential interference signals.
The Lumatek ballast is silent with no noisy fan required and a
graduated fin design case to help dissipate heat. There is no
serviceable parts inside as the electronics are sealed in a resin
and opening the case will invalidate the warranty.
