Operation Manual Trans-Flo
The TRANS-FLO SYSTEM is a standard-output ballast that can be dimmed on most common theatrical SCR dimming systems. The modular design of the TRANS-FLO SYSTEM streamlines set lighting installations, and its smooth dimming capability ensures controlled lighting effects. The TRANS-FLO Ballast can operate 15-inch, 2ft, 3ft and 4ft lamps in pairs; two different sized lamps can be powered from the same ballast. (Two lamps must be connected for the ballast to operate.
(A) Attach each TRANS-FLO circular connector tail to a locking lamps harness, or single head extension, making sure to rotate the locking ring until it “clicks” into its locked position. Securely connect both ends to the harness on the lamp before turning on the power. Each Trans-Flo Ballast MUST have two lamps connected to operate. A ballast can operate any two sizes of lamps at the same time. For example, a 15inch lamp can be paired with a 4ft lamp.
To operate, the TRANS-FLO SYSTEM in the Series Ballast Dimming Mode you need a minimum of: TRANS-FLO Power & Dim Cable, 6ft. Primary power feed line and dimming line ( both with Edison connectors ). One cable is needed for the first ballast in a series. TRANS FLO Two-Lamp Ballast, 120 VAC A standard-output, flicker-free electronic dimming ballast. Operates two 15-inch, 2ft, 3ft or 4ft lamps.
Dimming Performance Best dimming performance is achieved by connecting harnesses directly to the ballast. When adding Head Extension Cables, add the same length cable to ALL lamps in a series. Otherwise the lamps with the longer cable will fade out ahead of the lamps with the short cable.
A maximum of 10 TRANS-FLO Ballasts can be connected on one Primary Power Feed Cable. A) Attach each TRANS-FLO circular connector tail to a locking lamps harness, or single head extension, making sure to rotate the locking ring until it “ clicks” into its locked position. Securely connect both ends to the harness on the lamp before turning on the power. Each Trans-Flo Ballast MUST have two lamps connected to operate.

Securely connect both ends to the harness on the lamp before turning on the power. B) With the ballast power switched off, attach the Power /Dim Cable to the “POWER IN” port of the first ballast in the series. D) Connect the Primary Power Feed (black) 3-pin U ground Edison plug to a 120 Volt AC non-dimming circuit.
