Galaxy Select-a-Watt Ballast Info Sheet (902518) 400-600-1000 watt + Turbo Charge
This state-of-the-art ballast is manufactured to provide today’s serious grower with maximum flexibility & performance. There are three ways to use the Select-a-Watt feature:
It will properly drive a 400, 600 or 1000 watt lamp to ANSI specifications. For example -set the switch to 400 watts, insert a 400 watt lamp into your socket and the ballast will operate the 400 watt lamp. The ballast will similarly operate 600 or 1000 watt lamps.
The second option for this ballast is dimming a 1000 watt lamp. Adjust the switch to 400 or 600 watts and the ballast will dim the 1000 watt lamp by 40 or 60%.
The Turbo Charge feature will increase the output of a 1000 watt lamp (only) by approximately 10%. You will achieve peak performance, but this may decrease your lamp life.
Lamps are only dimmable on wattages lower than the specified lamp wattage. A 1000 watt lamp can be dimmed down to 600 watt or 400 watt. A 600 watt lamp can be dimmed down to 400 watt, but CANNOT be over-driven to 1000 watts.
Turbo Charge is designed for 1000 watt lamps only. DO NOT use with 400 watt or 600 watt lamps. This can be hazardous.
Ballast should be turned off before changing any setting on the ballast.
Ballast needs to stay off for 5 minutes between setting changes. This allows the ballast to reset itself internally.
Additional notes from Sales: The product is NOT dimmable, it is "Selectable".
It is important that the ballast be given a 5 minute "re-set" period between changing wattages.
It is critical that users DO NOT try to overdrive 400 or 600 watt lamps and that they don't insert either of these lamps when the ballast is set on on the 1000 watt or turbo lumens setting. The results could be catstrophic failure of the lamps.
We do not have a history running 1000 watt lamps at a "dimmed" 400 or 600 watt setting. I would recommend users choose the proper lamp for the wattage they are "selecting".
