Compact Control Gear 400 watt for HPS and MH Lamps
Magnetic ballasts made by ETI have become the preferred choice among growers because of their high quality and their good price- performance ratio. The compact and solid build, running reliable and almost indestructible, are some of the highlights of an ETI ballast.
Thermal Protection
Some HID lamp types can develop an intensity rectifying effect at the end of their life, when they are exhausted. This leads to a great increase of control gear heat. This phenomenon is practically nonexistent with HPS lamps, and is more common for MH lamps. When the internal temperature rises over a safety limit, the thermo switch automatically activates and disconnects the ballast from the mains to minimize damages to lamp associated electric components. For indoor installations with MH lamps we definitely recommend the use of units featuring thermal protection.
Timed Ignitor
ETI ballasts incorporate a digitally controlled pulse (DCP) ignition sequence, which allows pauses for lamp cooling. This model is especially recommended for lamp types which struggle with hot restrikes, like metal-halide lamps, and for installations without maintenance.
Maximum distance to lamp in meters at a wire section of 3x 2,5mm²
MH: 2 m
HPS: 10 m
Advantages of the ballast
- Thermo protection - no overheating
- Long distance ignition device
- CE und ENEC industrial standard
- Cable clamps and strain-relief
Technical Detail:
- Power: 400 W
- Maximum operating temperature: 30°C
- Maximum cable length (ballast socket): 20 m
- For the connection of the ballast a cable set is required additionally
Caution:
Ballasts should be installed by qualified personnel only!
