Todd,

it seems that the tubes are not operated correctly and the ballast shuts power off in order to protect the tube.
- Check the wiring between ballast and tube
- These wires must be short! usually max. 1 or 2m - should be printed on the ballast or in the datasheet of the ballast

i wasnt disputing you matthias i was just saying i misunderstood it and wasnt paying attention. i thought i would post what i did wrong, even though i look stupid, so that if others had the same issue they could maybe learn from my mistake :wink:

They are over 2m right now. I will try shortening them. Now that you mention it I do remember reading something about this on either this thread or another thread. I shall let you know shortly!

I have shortened the wires, but now it will cut out at a lower % then before!

I tried it with only 1 bulb as the other has been acting a little funny, and it went from 0 to 100% and back down just fine. Could it be a problem with the bulb that is causing the problem?

Are you sure the wiring is correct?
If you want to you can post a photo of your installation, mabe i can discover a mistake.

niloc,

thanks for your post - i think this will help if someone has similar problems!

I will look over my wiring again tommorow, if I cannot find a problem with it I will post a photo, perhaps you can see what I am missing. I do have a feeling that there is a problem with one of my bulbs though, maybe I will try with a different one tommorow before I pull it apart to check the wiring.

Anyone else having problems with their non-digital power bar? The socket that my heaters were plugged into stuck on, and needed a tap to get the contacts to open.

I've now been informed via J&L (where I bought it) that Proline won't warranty it :confused: One of the reasons I went with Profilux was that even though the product was still in the development stage for the North American market the manufacturer seemed to backing it well.

Speak to matthias, how long have you had the plug bar? The new ones are more robust.

Without getting involved in inter dealer policies, as far as I know we warranty all power bars as long as they are used in accordance with the manufacturers guidelines
