Gumbo, deviled crabs, cold smoke salmon and beer,:D OK I can think again now.
First off, thanks again for your input to this point Mutt. I was grateful from the getgo to get feedback from anyone with (comin' up) 10K posts and "reputation beyond repute"...
I've had this ballast kit for over a week now.
I won't hook it up before I know it's right.
I'm cooking din din right now...
I really appreciate your info and realize that I do not know the difference between the 220V residential and commercial that you are referring to.
(Oops ended on a...
Finally got a hold of a warm body at the Manufacturer...
They say cap off the second white wire on the ignitor... "it doesn't need to go anywhere"... WITHOUT pointing out the inherent DANGER!
A comment from another forum pointed out that...
"NO!! The starter is on the secondary side of the...
OK, wired it up best I could understand and took a picture...
Starter(ignitor) (1) starter Blue>>>>> tranformer blue
(2) starter RED>>>>transformer red AND socket red (or it may be black the one from the center prong not the one to the socket threads)
Now for the confusing part :p
(3)...
Wow...
Just now back to see your response.
I'm gonna do just what you said and post a pic BEFORE engergizing!
It's really nice to get rollin' on the wiring for the kit...
Thanks again!:D:D
OK... pics finally...:D
I unsuccessfully attempted to photograph the lettering on the Black Wire with a Grey Stripe...
It appears to have stretched out CAP lettering, but hard to tell for sure even under magnification.
Thanks again...
No Black wire on the Capacitor...
Just two whites...
Going back to look at the lettering on the Black wire coming off of the Ballast that looks like it says CAP.
Gonna have to find my Reading Glasses...
Sigh... connector and battery issues with camera...
Ignitor has: 2 White, 1 Blue, 1 Red
Capacitor: 2 White
Ballast: 2 White, 1 Black, 1 Orange, 1 Black/Yellow, 1 Violet, 1 Black labeled CAP
pics to come soon, thanks for the help:):)
The portion that I'm not clear on Mutt is the double commons coming off both the ignitor, and the ballast itself. The multi-tap for the voltage is not a problem. I'll be running it 240 and using the violet wire.
If you look at the spec sheet... it only shows a single common coming off of...
Took the plunge and bought the Phillips CMH 400W.
First HID Ballast kit to wire up... has double commons on the ballast and double commons on the ignitor.
Can't seem to find any real info on how to wire this particular type correctly.
Here's a link to the Spec sheet for the Ballast kit...
