Instructions for Quantum Series Lighting DHID 1000w Digital Ballast

Dear friend,

We welcome you to the latest in digital lighting technology. Quantum Series Lighting ballasts have been specially designed to perform in the extreme atmospheric conditions found in indoor gardening situations. Quantum Horticulture has gone through great lengths to ensure that this device complies with Part 18 of the FCC rules and regulations.

Quantum Series Lighting ballasts will strike both Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium lamps without having to flip switches or change wiring like a standard core and coil ballast, while also saving you a noticeable amount of power on your electric bill. Savings of up to 30% have been reported from our laboratory testing facilities compared to standard core and coil ballasts.

The dimming switch is located on the front of your ballast just above the lamp cord. Always allow 30 seconds between the different output settings to allow your ballast to draw the proper amount of power and charge your bulb to the desired setting. Do not rapidly toggle the control back and forth as this may cause damage to your ballast and/or bulb.

When striking your lamp, make sure all cord ends are firmly attached and a bulb is installed in your socket assembly correctly. Plug your ballast into your power source and give it a few seconds to gather power. As with any ballast, the bulb will take a few moments to reach its maximum output.

The Quantum Series ballast is covered by a full THREE YEAR WARRANTY under normal use. You can increase the life of your ballast by always making sure it is kept clean and out of extremely damp conditions. The oxidized powder coating on the housing can be cleaned with a dry cloth, and the sealed bearing cooling fan should be kept clean of dust and debris. It is advised to turn off your ballast before running a sulphur burner, so the internal circuitry is not exposed to corrosive elements. This will extend the life of your ballast.

It is imperative that you ALWAYS use a bulb centric to the wattage of your ballast. Doing otherwise may cause damage to your ballast and/or bulb. (i.e. 400w bulb/400w ballast, 600w bulb/600w ballast, 750w bulb/750w ballast, 1000w bulb/1000w ballast)

You will notice how much cooler your new ballast runs and how lightweight it is. The base of the unit gives you many options of how you would like to mount it. Make sure that the ballast is always off the floor, is always fastened securely, and the fan is always free from obstructions when you choose how you want to permanently place it.

You have many choices as to what products you use in your gardens; we thank you for choosing Quantum Horticulture.
