Default Digital ballast conversion (digital greenhouse)
Hello,

I just got a digital ballast from htg supply. I neglected to realize that they are wired for 120. My setup is 240. in the manual it says its "easily convertible to 240". but it doesnt show you shit.
I dont have a clue how to do this. htg is closed and Id like to try to do this tonight if its a reasonable task. Im sure its a ballast specific procedure . so , has anyone in here done this conversion? Right now, it has a typical computer power cord for the input and a normal socket end. thanks in advice for your insight.

Thumbs up update
i called and talked to Tony (the guy who runs HTG) this morning. He said that no changes need to be made to the ballast in order to get it to run at 240. all that you need to do is ask him for a cord with a 240 end on it when you order and he will send it to you for an additional 5.50. so basically you get a 1000w digi ballast with the capabilty of running on 120 or 240 that can also accomidate HPS or MH bulbs without modification for 400 bucks shipped. that also included the "euro" hood, socket and 2 bulbs, an agromax MH and I also opted for the upgraded sunmaster HPS for when its time to flip into flower. I placed my order for the cords and he is shipping today. fn awesome.
