* If a hot lamp or no lamp is detected the ballast will attempt to start the lamp after one minute, if not successful further attempts are made up to a maximum
of 4 times in 5 minute cycles, then if not successful the ballast will shut-down. The ballast is reset automatically by a supply interruption.
** Typical value if cable capacitance is below the specifi ed limit
of 4 times in 5 minute cycles, then if not successful the ballast will shut-down. The ballast is reset automatically by a supply interruption.
** Typical value if cable capacitance is below the specifi ed limit
