IceCap wiring

[disc1]

I have 4 4' T5's on my tank.

My IceCap660 died. Someone gave me two IceCap430's cheap. So I'm going to wire up the two actinic bulbs to one and the two white bulbs to the other since the 430's can only push 8 feet of tube each.

My question is this. The harnesses provided are for four 2' tubes. The wiring diagram shows how to hook up 2 bulbs, but what do I do with the remaining wires? Should they be connected together? Terminated individually? I remember when I had my 660 wires up to two VHOs that there was a certain way you had to do it, but the instruction sheet with these 430s doesn't say what and I don't remember.

Can anyone help?

Oh wait, the new harnesses don't have all those wires.

Jeez. I really didn't want to be doing this tonight.

Just splice (430-blue to blue)-( 430-yellow to purple)-and (430-red to orange) for one ballast, then (430-red to red)-(430-yellow to brown) and (430-blue to yellow) for the other ballast. If this doesnt make sence i can explain further.

you can always terminate them individually as well.
