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.
Connect the ballast to the projector FIRST, and then connect to 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 AC 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. See
instructions below (Figure
2.29.).
Check the plug and internal switch before connecting to
AC. Qualified electrical technician required.
A visual inspection of the plug can indicate 200 or 400 VAC status. Modify as
1.
necessary for your site—as a delta load with safety ground, the plug has no
neutral.
Remove the ballast cover to access and read the Input Power Range Switch.

Toggle the switch left for use with 200 VAC supplies, or toggle right for 400
6.
VAC supplies.
Attach the ground lug to Earth Ground.
