IceCap 660 wiring!

[TexasTodd]

O.K., I am NOT a DITer!

I can't understand the 660 wiring diagram. I think I've done it per drawing. But bulbs just flash for a second.

Does the far end of bulbs (on diagram), on a 4 bulb setup, just have one wire per bulb end? Or, do you cut some of one wire and put a short piece between each pair of bulbs on that end?

I have a headache!

Thanks,

Todd

Looks like you need to make two jumper wires(gray) for between bulb 1/2 and 3/4

as a result....If the bulbs flash on for a second you may have also blown a fuse in the ballast. It's easy to check. Make sure it's unplugged first.

...there should be a large plastic gray screw head on the ballast...unscrew it and the fuse will come out.

RadioShack sells them in packages of like 5 or so. I went through this before.

Thanks guys!

I thought it looked like I needed those two little wires....not in the package. I can just cut some off one of the other wires...right?

I'll check the fuse too.

As long as clipping the lines a bit isn't going to reduce your wiring so much that you can't install as you were hoping, clip away -- the wire length is pretty much for convenience, and can be added/removed from as necessary

So did it fix it? If so, how do you like? better than the NOVA pro? You running the standard ballast or the overdriven? Just curious, Stephen.

I hate those things...that's why I got rid of it. Just too many wires to work with.....now my headache's coming back...lol

Yeah, I got it running. It was the gost wires along with one endcap not all the way on.

I like the NovaPro WAY better but I'm running a combo of VHO and T5 plus halides on my new system so I had to go this route as no company makes an all in one that uses both bulb types.

It's a 600 so it should overdrive them, but also have 110w each going to the two VHO so hopefully it won't overdrive the T5's too much.

Now I just have to tape up all those freaking wires tomorrow. Going hunting today.

Thanks for the help.

Good to hear it is up and running.
