ADJUSTA_WATT DIGITAL BALLASTS

Adjusta-Watt Digital Ballast 600w & 1000w

The Adjusta-Watt Digital Ballast is not like any ordinary 'dimmable' ballast. This software controlled, variable output ballast has been specially designed to give the most selective growers the ultimate versatility and performance from a single lighting system. This super cool, super efficient, fully adjustable digital ballast will run 600w, 400w and 250w sodium, metal halide, and duel spectrum lamps and features an Over-Drive facility that increases the ballasts output for maximum lamp performance.

The Adjusta-Watt Digital Ballast can be used in three different ways:

- You select the lamp type and wattage and the ballast will run the lamp to the exact specification that the lamp requires, just as if the ballast was dedicated to that lamp. It's like having three separate ballasts in one unit!

- You can reduce the output of your lamp when not so much power is needed. For example, if you are running a 600w lamp you can reduce the output to 400w or 250w.

- You can boost the output of your lamp using the Over-Drive feature. This feature allows the output of the ballasts highest rated lamp (600w) to be increased by approximately 10% delivering maximum lamp performance.

Features

Adjusta-Watt: The Adjusta-Watt Digital Ballast allows lamps of various wattages to be operated in the same unit simply by adjusting the dial on the ballast. This model will run 250w, 400w and 600w lamps. Each lamp will be operated to the exact specification that the lamp requires.

Smart-Step Technology: By turning the dial on the Adjusta-Watt Digital Ballast you can reduce the output of a lamp when not so much power is needed. For example, if you are running a 600w lamp you can reduce the output to 400w or 250w. Just turn the dial again to step back to full power.

Over-Drive: The Over-Drive feature will increase the output of the ballasts highest wattage lamp to achieve maximum lamp performance.

SmartStart Ignition Control: This revolutionary feature ensures that the Adjusta-Watt Digital Ballast is the safest, most reliable and energy efficient digital ballast when used in automated multiple lamp applications. When multiple units are connected to the mains circuit, our integrated Ignition Control software will completely balance the electrical draw by igniting one lamp at a time to prevent electrical surges and spikes that can overload the mains circuit and trip circuit breaking systems. For further efficiency, this feature coincides with our 'Soft Start Technology'.

Soft Start Technology: Soft Start Technology prolongs lamp life by stopping current rush to the lamp and preventing lamp overload. When the ballast is started from cold there will be a 3 second fixed delay before ignition. After ignition there will be a series of random 0-2 second delays before full brightness is reached after approximately 3-5 minutes. Soft Start Technology is also activated when increasing and decreasing power to the lamp using the 'Smart-Step' feature.
