Ultra✭SportTM Floodlight

Ballast System—All Ultra★Sport floodlights feature the new compact GE AccuwattTM ballast system in which the ballast is direct mounted to the aluminum housing with a thermal wedge for optimum heat transfer.

GE AccuwattTM 2000, 1500 and 1000 watt auto-regulator circuits are designed to start and stabilize their respective double-ended metal halide lamps at their design center.

Ballast dielectric material is rated for a 200 degree C maximum operating temperature.

Every ballast undergoes a 2500 volt RMS “High Pot” and a 10KV “til” test in accordance with ANSI C82.4, C82.6 and C92.1 specifications. The ballast circuits are also designed to sustain a nominal lamp over a line voltage dip of 50% for up to four seconds when operating at nominal line voltage according to ANSI specification C82.6.

NOTE: For 50Hz voltages, contact factory. *See ballast table for wattage limitations.

The ballast circuit will reliably start and stabilize a nominal lamp in ambient temperatures down to -29 degrees C. The unit is rated for operation in up to 40 degree C ambient temperatures.*

Ballast Maintenance—Electrical access is achieved from the rear of the fixture without any adjustment to the aiming required. The rear housing cover is held in place by four captive corrosion-resistant cad-polymer coated screws.

Optional Instant Hot Restart—The Ultra★Sport floodlight can be ordered with a new optional instant hot restart feature. After a momentary power interruption or line voltage dip which causes the lamp to extinguish, a 34KV hot restart circuit will restart the lamp within two seconds of re-application of power.

Optional System 2TM Bi-Level Controls—The choice of high/low two-level lighting is also available. System 2 Bi-Level controls utilize a 15 volt AC signal that is hard wired to the floodlight to switch capacitance and change wattage.

The 2000/1500 watt and 1500/1000 watt system choices are available for separate game time and practice light levels.
