pedestal are not within the specified voltage range.
1. Make sure that ballast is properly configured for the AC at your site, and that it is
connected via 4 cables to the projection head. See 2.8, Connecting the Ballast.
2. Connect the heat extractor fan to the projection head. See 2.4, Installing a Lens,
