All 60 Series Phantom Ballasts come standard with two RJ control ports on the back enclosure surface
which facilitate communication between your Autopilot PX lighting controller or other commercial
greenhouse environmental control system. Use with the PX is optional—the 60 Series ballasts also
operates with manual control knob when not connected to a PX.

HANGING THE FIXTURE
1 .
Identify a suitable location for the ballast with sufficient cooling and away from any heat source.
2 .
Plug the power cord into the ballast but
DO NOT PLUG SYSTEM IN YET.
3 .
Determine whether you will be using RJ control method or on board control. If RJ control, proceed
to Ballast overview and Notes on Variable Control and refer to Controller instructions before
hanging and energizing.
4 .
Plug the power cord into the power source (electrical outlet).
5 .
Once the lamp has fired, set your desired wattage output level. Please note that the ballast
decreases or increases output gradually to protect the lamp, so you might not see an instant
increase upon changing your output percentage.
6. For proper lamp break-in, we recommend that you run the ballast and new lamp at 100% power
for at least 12 straight hours after initial startup. This will improve lamp life and performance.
