ELECTRONIC BALLASTS
Electronic ballasts require power supply and control signal. Power supply (230 V AC) and control signal lines (12V
DC) must never be interchanged or the decoder or the ballast may be destroyed. To provide safe data lines, the DMX
data input is galvanically isolated.
We recommend to only use pre-wired SLH flourescent tube bars. They come with integrated ballast and adaptor cable
with multipin connector. Multipin connectors are coded and are always plugged right.
If you intend to use your own setup, any DSI compatible electronic ballast may be used. We recommend to use
SOUNDLIGHT PCA ballasts, wich are available for popular T5 (14W, 21W, 28W, 39W) and T8 (18W, 30W, 36W,
58W) flourescent tubes.

units or components.
Wiring shall only be performed by a skilled electrician. Before setting your installation to work, please make sure
