Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before installation or servicing.

• Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
• Ensure the supply voltage matches the ballast's rated voltage (120V).
• Do not install in locations where the ambient temperature exceeds the ballast's maximum operating temperature.
• Do not connect to a dimming circuit unless the ballast is specifically rated for dimming.
• Ground the ballast properly to prevent electrical hazards.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of the KTEB-2C72-1-TP ballast:

1. Power Disconnection: Before beginning any work, ensure that the main power supply to the fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker. Verify with a voltage tester.
2. Old Ballast Removal: If replacing an existing ballast, carefully disconnect all wires from the old ballast. Note the wiring configuration or take a photograph for reference. Remove the old ballast from the fixture.
3. Mounting the New Ballast: Secure the new KEYSTONE KTEB-2C72-1-TP ballast inside the fixture using appropriate screws or mounting hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached to prevent vibration.
4. Wiring Connections: Refer to the wiring diagram provided on the ballast label.
   • Connect the black wire from the ballast to the 120V AC Line (hot) wire.
   • Connect the white wire from the ballast to the 120V AC Neutral wire.
   • Connect the green wire (or bare copper) from the ballast to the fixture's Ground wire.
   • Connect the ballast's lamp wires to the fluorescent lamp holders (sockets) as indicated by the wiring diagram. This ballast supports two F32T8 lamps. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
5. Lamp Installation: Insert the F32T8 fluorescent lamps into their respective lamp holders.
6. Power Restoration: Once all connections are secure and lamps are installed, restore power at the circuit breaker.
7. Testing: Turn on the light switch to verify proper operation.

Always consult the wiring diagram printed on the ballast itself for the most accurate and specific connection instructions.

Operating Instructions

The KEYSTONE KTEB-2C72-1-TP electronic ballast operates automatically once properly installed and powered. It provides the necessary voltage and current to ignite and sustain two F32T8 fluorescent lamps.

• Power On/Off: Use the standard wall switch connected to the fixture to turn the lamps on or off.
• Instant Start: This electronic ballast is designed for instant start operation, meaning lamps should illuminate immediately upon power application.
• Normal Operation: Lamps should provide consistent, flicker-free illumination.

Maintenance

The KTEB-2C72-1-TP ballast is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks of the lighting fixture are recommended.

• Cleaning: Ensure the ballast and fixture are kept free of dust and debris to allow for proper heat dissipation. Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Lamp Replacement: Replace lamps with new F32T8 fluorescent lamps when they reach the end of their life or begin to flicker excessively. Always disconnect power before replacing lamps.
• Wiring Inspection: Periodically inspect wiring connections for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose terminals. Address any issues promptly after disconnecting power.

Troubleshooting

If the fluorescent lamps do not operate correctly, follow these troubleshooting steps:

If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, contact a qualified electrician or KEYSTONE customer support.
