OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Electronic Ballast ARRI EB 575/800
______________________________________________________________________________________________
1. General Remarks
Please read the following operating instructions very carefully before using the
Electronic Ballast (EB) the first time. They contain important information and
instructions for the safety, use and maintenance of the appliance. For your own safety
please follow all safety instructions and warnings.
Keep the operating instructions carefully in a safe place and pass them to any future
owner.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Important Safety
2.1 Warning - High voltages inside ballast! Danger to life!
Instructions
Disconnect EB from power supply before opening (pull out the line plug). Do not pull
on the connection cable, but on the plug, to disconnect the EB from mains. Any repairs
or changing of the line plug must only be carried out by qualified personnel or ARRI-
service departments.
2.2 The standard European line plug is only permissible for use on 220 ... 250 V
supplies. For 100 ... 120 V supplies line plug has to be changed to a plug with protective
earth which is suitable for the higher current (see max. current in "Technical Data", page
15). When making connections be sure that the earth conductor is made longer than the
live or neutral conductors. This means that if the cable is strained the earth conductor
will be the last to be disconnected and so you will not be electrocuted. National
standards must be observed.
The cores in the main cable are colored in accordance with following code:
Protective earth: green/yellow
Neutral blue
Live (Phase) brown
Before connecting the Electronic Ballast ensure that the power supply is correctly wired.
Do not use without adequate earth connection unless either an isolation transformer or
an earth-leakage trip is employed.
Note: In order to avoid unwanted tripping due to leaking currents and transient
disturbances, care shall be taken that the collective leakage current of equipment on the
load side of a residual current device is less than 1/3 of its rated residual current.
The typical leakage current of this device is 2.0 mA (according EN 60598-1:1996,
appendix G).
2.3 Lamphead must be disconnected from Electronic Ballast or Electronic Ballast must
be disconnected from mains before fitting or replacing a lamp.
2.4 The Electronic Ballast must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting
either head or supply cable. Do not use other than original ARRI cables and connector
with permitted cross section of the leads. The ballast is only suitable for original ARRI
luminaires. Using other than original ARRI cables or luminaires may cause injury to the
user as well and/or damage to the ballast.
2.5 The Electronic Ballast satisfies the standards of the recognized state of the
engineering and the pertinent safety regulation of DIN EN 60598-1 and DIN EN 60950
for electrical appliances.
