hooking up ballast

[kgraham]

I just purchased a ballast (Universal Lighting Technologies M250ML5AC4M) for a 250w mh. I didn't know there were gonna be so many wires. 2 yellows, 2 blacks, 1 purple, 1 purple and white, 1 orange, and 1 red coming from the white cyclinder.

My Mogul only has three wires. Any idea which ones to use?

one should be a ground and the others should be power
need to get spec (color codes) for wires to sure

 

[kase]

there is 2 sets of wire one 120 and the other for 240 volt. on hellolights.com there a drawning for wiring diagram or look under the MFG web site for it.

the white cyclinder is a capacitors. it should be a 2 wire going to it.
green(ground), black(netural) and white(live) should come be coming out of the mogul. but some mogul has only the black and white.

the ballast should have a wiring code on it, if not go on the mfg site and see what they have for the ballast.
