high amp powerbar

[second_decimal]

i plugged in my high amp power outlet into the wall (black plug) and plugged the gray plug into the normal power bar in position 3. what position are the high amp plugs? also how do i set that up? do i set position3 to always on and set timers for the high amp plugs? thanks

the high amp acts as an extension so if you plug it into socket 3 it will react to what ever you program socket 3 to do.

If you set socket 3 to always on the high amps will always be on, so program socket 3 to whatever you want the high amp to do.

so the two sockets on the high amp bar are not individually controllable? my light fixture has two MH lights. i would like to arrange them in a consecutive on / off order.

They work as a pair

You can in this case have one on the high amp and one on the digital power bar, this will then split the load.

that is very unfortunate....

Not really it depends on the flexibilty you wish to have

The High amp is designed as a load spreader not a switchable socket, and as such could have been made with just one socket, but GHL took the forward step in producing it with two as the majority of people run the two halides together.

In saying that as already said you still have the great option of running your lights seperately by using one of the other sockets on the power bar thus achieving what you wish to do and also still spreading the load effectively

its unfortunate for me i guess i will have to purchase another powerbar to get the flexibility i need.

If thats the case look at the STDL-4 power bar, you can plug this into S5-S8 and run your MH lighting independantly on that, isolating your system light requirements from the rest of your control needs

Good thought...

What is the load rating for this 4 plug unit? I need to adapt 2 Halides (400w each) and 2 VHO ballast's (4 bulbs @ 110w each). Is it the same as the 6 plug (15A - 1500w)?

Thanks

its 15amps just like the digital bars

not to bud in here but the draw from 400W Mh Ballast shouldn't have required the high amp bar. I've ordered the High amp bar because of the draw from my 12 HP Chiller.

To bad I didn't know we could have traded my 4 for your high amp

Sorry I might have been miss informed about that.

I'll need to check into this
