Need help with wiring PLL ballast

Hello everyone,

I recently saw some cool micro grows on reddit and got inspired to try do one myself. So i got ahold of some Osram QTP optimal ballasts thats for both T5s and PLLs. Problem is that their website only shows how to wire it to T5s and i cant find how to wire it to the pll holders. Iv read that plls is just t5s folded in half, So i made a pic in paint how i think they should be wired. But then i found another ballast from the same company made specifically for plls and that one has a different wiring so now im really confused.

The ballast i bought


The other ballast specifically for plls


Any help would be greatly appreciated as im totally lost here

Hi
Been a looong time since I’ve grown with plls
Man these grow great set up properly!!!
Remember
PLls are just basically like a straight flouro tube
EXCEPT it is bent!!!
A straight floru has 4 pins 2 on each end
PLl has 4 pins but all on the same side ( cuz it’s bent)
If in your mind you straighten out the Pll diagram you will notice it’s about the same as the straight floru.
21 goes to pin 1, out pin2 to pin 3 out pin 4 to 22
on both lights.
While the schematics don’t show it the wires are attached to the Pll socket that’s numbered
Probly confused ya
I’ll see if I can dig up some old notes....
