MOUNTING THE BALLAST ON THE WALL
1. Find a suitable location for the ballast where there is at least an 11‒12" wide space available on
the wall for mounting.
2. Install two wall screws 10½" apart (on center). If studs are not available, use drywall anchors
sufficient to hold 15 lbs.
3. Secure the ballast to the wall using the two screws. Optionally, you can use four screws and all
four mounting holes to secure the ballast. The lower mounting holes are 2¼" (on center) below
the upper pair of mounting holes.
(NOTE: You can choose to orient the ballast so that the connections panel is facing either upward
or downward.)
PHANTOM BALLAST DIMMING
• 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 (Dim, Standard, Boost).
• 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 working,
shut off power to the ballast, and reconnect. This will begin the startup sequence again.
