So I thought I hooked up all the wires exactly like the schematics showed that I found on the icecap website, but apparently not. I have a 5 ft geisman a 3 ft wavepoint and a 2 ft wavepoint. When I plug it in the wavespoints turn on for a split second and that's it. I"m thinking I just messed up the wires on the geisman, but wanted to see if there was a trick I was missing before I rewired everything.
Are you sure all the bulbs are good. <span id="ctl00__pageBody_lblPdDetails">IceCap 430 Information: Ice Cap Ballasts are the coolest ballasts available using 40% less electricity and burning 40% brighter. Their unique circuitry prevents premature lamp burn out and fading associated with VHO lamps. You can run VHO, HO, and STD fluorescent lamps. For VHO, in a 2 or 3 lamp setup, the total lamp length cannot exceed 12'. In a 4 lamp setup, it cannot be more than 8' total lamp length. In summary, the Icecap 430 is a versatile and powerful ballast. The Ultimate lamp driver for all VHO, PC and T5HO lamps.</span> Specific features include: <ul> [*]A Model 430 can operate up to 12 lamp feet with a total of 330 rated lamp watts. Individual lamps can be 2 through 6 feet each. This corresponds to 10 different lamp configurations. [*]Maximum light output with VHO and HO lamps. [*]Cold temperature starts to -40¡ Celsius. [*]3 Year Limited Warranty. [/list]
Yeah, all the bulbs fire up fiine. I talked to the ice cap rep over on the reef central forum today. So today I'm going to begin testing all the connection points today to make sure I wired everthing right.
