Operational Instructions

Energizing System

1.  Check if the EB is disconnected from mains supply before connecting cables to the lamp head.
2.  Check if the main circuit break switch of the EB is in the off position
3.  Confirm if the lamp head meets the requirements of the EB
4.  Check the lamp head cable for visible damages
5.  If you followed all of these quick checks, you can connect the EB to the mains supply and connect the lamphead.
6.  You are now ready to start the EB and change the settings.

Adjusting the System

1.  After preparing everything, you can now change your settings on the display of the EB.
2.  The LCD display turns on when the main circuit breaker is in the ON position.
3.  It should light up the L3 indicator (green)
4.  If ground connection is correct, L4 indicator is on. If this is not the case, check the power supply and socket.
5.  Turn on the ignition switch to ON – the light will ignite within 3 se-conds. At the same time, L1 indicator turns on (yellow)
6.  Wait for 3 minutes until the lamp is fully heated and the color tempe-rature and brightness have a stable output. Then you can adjust the brightness value and frequency as needed.

LCD Display Control

After the EB hast power and the switch is on, this LCD display pops up. After 3 minutes the EB is locked and all operations cannot be dialled. 75Hz below the percentage show the frequency setting. To change this va-lue, just push button A or B and change the frequency by turning the knob. The 6KEB shows which lamp is in use. It automatically identifies the lamp. If anything doesn‘t work properly, the ballast shows an error message. Press button E to have a look at the EB data. Fine Tuning for 1000Hz Press button A to go to the 1000Hz fine tuning screen. Adjust by rotating the dimmer knob between 800Hz and 1200Hz. By pressing button B you return to the main menu.

Error Codes

Press button M to enter menu setting screen, then press button B to select Parameters. Press push button E to enter the Parameter screen (Figure 4). Select Fault Info and press button E again. Press button A or B to scroll up/down to check the error codes. To return to home screen – press button M.
