Gavita TripleStar 600 Instructions

TripleStar
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE INSTALLATION
The TripleStar 600 is a highly efficient, adjustable
reflector for HPS/MH lamps ranging from 400-
750W which are rated to use with an open
reflector. The throw of the light is adjustable by
manipulating the side reflectors, to a wide,
medium and deep position. This enables you to get
the light where you want it: on your plants and not
on your walls.
Unpacking
The TripleStar is available with and without lamp cord. Please consult your box label to see which version you
have purchased. For local markets there are different ballast plugs available. In the box you find a plastic bag
containing two eyebolts with a locking nut.
Attaching the eyebolts
1. Move the locking nut to its highest position close to the eye
2. Screw in the eyebolt as deep as it can go, then turn it back to its desired position
3. Holding the base with a spanner or the eye with a screwdriver tighten the locking bolt with another spanner
Wiring the reflector
HID lamps can not be used without an appropriate ballast. Never try to
connect a HID lamp directly to mains.
When wiring HID lamps make sure that the lamp cord you use is tested
and approved for high voltage (5 kV) ignition pulses and high
temperature. Always use stranded wired and use cable end sleeves to
protect the strands in the screw terminals.
Do NOT connect any of the ballast outputs to the middle (ground) terminal. Connecting the ground wire to the
center terminal only provides protection when the ballast is also plugged into a grounded receptacle with a
grounded cord and plug. This is the recommended way of installation.
