wiring ballast components

[Guest]

hi everyone, i'm a relative newb to indoor, and can't fathom the symbols on the wiring schematics for these HPS ballast components:

the transformer has two points: '230v' and 'ZRM(D)'. the igniter has three points: 'B', 'Lp' and 'N'. the cap has two wires that are unmarked. the points on the lampholder seem to be marked 'S' and 'D'.

i will post the wiring diagrams if it's needed. all help will be greatly appreciated.

thank's in advance.

I tried my best and came up with a diagram. I'm not 100% sure if its correct. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

(I'm assuming your household voltage is 230v and youre trying to power a 70w HPS bulb)

wow pontiac, thank's for the effort man i really appreciate it. just one thing though, the transformer only has two points.

Wow i'm confused, how can the transformer only have two points? There should be 3 points: 230v, Com, and a light output. And it looks like it has 3 points on the diagram.

I'm sorry i couldnt help you out bro, I'm only familiar with US ballast. If i were you i'd contact a qualified electrician, or some place that sells HID ballasts, they can definatly help you out.

you're right pontiac that's what i should do, thank's anyway brother.

Hey SatGhost,

Are you trying to wire a 70w? If would help i could alway open up one of our 400's and
tell you how it's wired.
