2. Function Description

You can select the Timer mode or Bypass mode of the ballast depending on the application. When you
select the Timer mode, the ballast will start working automatically according to your further settings.
The HID lamp will be ON at the Start Time and OFF at the Stop Time. Moreover, the automatic operation
of the Sun Function can be determined within the ON time of the lamp, according to the settings, to
simulate the process from Sunrise to Sunset. When you select the Bypass mode, the Timer function of
the ballast will be ignored. Moreover, the lamp will be automatically ON once the ballast is ignited each
time, no matter whether the HID lamp is turned off before power-down. You can adjust the output power
within the safety range via the knob or remote control of the ballast in the Timer mode or Bypass mode.
You can also turn on or off the HID lamp via the button
the remote control.
2.1 Select the Timer mode
2.1.1 Application:
Under no external controller or timer, the ballast is automatically operated according to the Start Time
and Stop Time.
2.1.2 Enabling method:
Set the Program in the non-bypass mode. 23 parameter options are provided, from 0123 to 2301.
2.1.3 Setting the Start Time and Stop Time:
The Start Time and Stop Time can be calculated automatically by the ballast via the combination of the
Program and Start Time parameter. The Program parameter consists of four digits, the first two of which
indicate the remaining hours of the ON state of the lamp, and the latter two of which indicate the re-
maining hours of the OFF state of the lamp. The sum of the first two and the latter two is 24, that is, the
Program runs with 24 hours as a cycle. The Start Time parameter is demonstrated in two ways: when
the setting is performed via the remote control, the Start Time parameter is mainly demonstrated in the
time form, i.e. the lamp is ON at XX: XX; and when the setting is performed via the ballast, the Start Time
parameter is mainly demonstrated in the STXX form, which means that after XX hours, the ballast enters
the Start Time.
EXAMPLE 1:
Setting via the remote control
Program: 1410
Start Time: 8:00
Current time: 6:00
The calculated Start Time and Stop Time:
Start Time: 8:00
Stop Time: 22:00
Result: The lamp can be lit from 8:00 to
22:00 each day; after 10 hours, it can be
turned on again at 8:00 next day. The cycle
is repeated.
