Connecting the Ballast

Do not connect the ballast to AC unless the projection head and ballast are already connected to each other,
otherwise the exposed live ends of the heavy ballast cables could be a serious hazard. Warning! Connect the
ballast to the projector FIRST, and then connect to AC.

2.7.1 Configuring the Ballast for Incoming AC

AC power levels vary from region to region throughout
the world, with 400 VAC common in some countries
(such as those in Europe and Asia), and 200 VAC
common elsewhere (such as in North America and
Japan). To accommodate both possibilities, the ballast
includes an internal Input Power Range Switch for
toggling to the level of AC available at the installation
site, i.e. either 200 or 400 VAC. The line cord plug must
also match.
From the factory, the ballast switch and line cord are
both set for 200 VAC use. Used/rented ballasts shipped
from other installation sites may be set to either,
depending on where they were last used—check the
status of the line cord plug and switch before attempting
to connect to AC. Warning! Check the plug and
internal switch before connecting to AC. Qualified
electrical technician required.
1. A visual inspection of the plug can indicate 200 or
400 VAC status. Modify as necessary for your
site—as a delta load with safety ground, the plug
has no neutral.
2. Remove the ballast cover to access and read the
Input Power Range Switch.
3. Toggle the switch left for use with 200 VAC
supplies, or toggle right for 400 VAC supplies.
4. Attach the ground lug to Earth Ground.
5. Re-install the ballast cover.

2.7.2 Connect to Projector

Connect all 4 ballast cables—two DC power cables, and 2 communication/control cables—to the rear of the
projector and to the lamp ballast. Refer to Figure 2-3.
