OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Electronic Ballast ARRI EB 575 EVENT SIX

———————————————————————————————————————————————

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 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 max 1mA (according EN 60598-1:1996,

 

appendix G).

 

2.3 Lamphead must be disconnected from Electronic Ballast and 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 connectors

 

with permitted cross section of the leads. The ballast is only suitable for specified ARRI

 

luminaires (see fig. 1, page 15). 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 60598/1:1996.

 

2.6 Supply voltage must not exceed the ranges that are given in the "Technical Data" (see

 

page 13). Check that the power supply voltage and wiring are suitable for the ballast to

 

be used. Supply voltages which are greater or less than that specified for the ballast can

 

cause injury to the user as well as damage to the ballast.

 

The electronic of the EB is built in a housing with protective class I and protective rate

 

IP 20.

 

Ambient operating temperatures must be between -10°C and + 50°C!

 

The air slots for ventilation at front panel and rear side should never be covered or

 

obstructed.

 

The EB must only be placed in a 19" Cabinet Rack or on solid, flat and dry ground.

 

Temperature of the ground should be less than 50°C. If the EB could slip over the

 

ground it must be fastened.

 

Protect EB against direct sunshine. The EB must be protected against splash and drip-

 

water (acc. to protective rate IP 20).

 

Do not operate the EB in high humidity (dew) or in aggressive or explosive gas-air

 

mixtures.
