Wiring and Grounding
All wiring from the dimming control to Compact
SE ballasts is line voltage wiring and may be run
together in the same conduit.
Ballast and lighting fixture must be effectively
grounded. Ballasts must be installed per national
and local electrical codes.

Lamp Seasoning Requirements
Some fluorescent lamp manufacturers recom-
mend that new fluorescent lamps be operated
at full output (“seasoned”) before they can be
dimmed, to render lamp impurities inert, ensuring
proper dimming performance and average rated
lamp life. Please contact your lamp manufacturer
for seasoning requirements.
