INSTRUCTION MANUAL
PHANTOM BALLAST DIMMABLE NOTES
• When starting a cool lamp, the ballast will apply 100% power for 15 minutes to properly heat
the gasses in the lamp. The dimming feature will not operate during this initial start-up period,
but you can preset the dimming ratio during this time without impacting the warmup. After the
warmup is complete, the ballast will run at the set dimming ratio.
• Press the dimming button to cycle through the dimming levels. The appropriate LED indicator will
light up to indicate selected dimming level (100%-75%-60%).
• The Phantom line of ballasts has built-in hot-restrike programming to protect the lamp and
ballast in the event of the ballast turning off unexpectedly. The ballast will not attempt to restart
a hot lamp for at least 15 minutes. If your lamp fails to start immediately, DO NOT cycle the
power on and off. This can damage the lamp and ballast. If after 30 minutes your lamp is still not
lit, shut off power to the ballast, and reconnect. This will begin the startup sequence again.

RESETTING THE PHANTOM BALLAST
The reset buttons work based on input power and are used when the ballast shuts down
unexpectedly. RESET 1 addresses power-in issues. RESET 2 will trip if there's a ballast or lamp issue.
For 120v, only one reset will trip if there's an issue; for 240v both may trip. The reset buttons also
work as thermal cutoffs, and may trip in case of an overheating situation. After a reset button trips,
wait 15 minutes before pressing the reset button. If the problem continues after resetting the
ballast, please contact your retailer for repair or replacement instructions.
