A multimeter can be used to check ballasts. Insert one probe into the wire connector, and touch the other probe to the ends of the yellow, red, and blue wires. If the needle doesn't move, the ballast needs to be replaced.
Replace ballasts: If lights flicker or turn off, the ballast may need to be replaced. When replacing a ballast, it's important to find a replacement with the same wiring configuration and voltage rating as the original.
Clean fixtures: Lamps should be wiped with a dry cloth, and non-metallic lamps can be wiped with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup. Grow lights and ballasts should be cleaned after each harvest.
Check Other Components: Other replacement components should match the original. Dimming pre-sets and scene pre-sets should be checked periodically to ensure they meet original requirements.
Replace Aging Components: Any capacitors, ballasts, lamp holders, or starters that show signs of aging should be replaced immediately.
Service Lights: Lights should be serviced at least every three years, or whenever fluorescent tubes and HID lamps are replaced
-
Structured Cabling: Low voltage copper or fiber wiring in walls that connects computers, phones, wireless access points, cameras, and copiers to a data and phone network
Data Cables: Cables that connect two devices to transfer data. Data cables can be broken down into three main types: twisted pair cabling, coaxial cabling, and fiber optic cabling
Communication Cables: Low-voltage cables that transmit data and information. Communication cables can include coaxial cables, fiber optic cables, data and ethernet cables, or twisted wire pair cables
