Need help wiring Fulham 7 Ballast....

OK se here is what i got:

1. Fulham 7 ballast -( 4 red wires, 1 yellow. Other side has a black and a white for power)
2. Computer cord that i cut for the power cable... it has 3 wires...ballast has two. Im assuming the teal colored one is the ground.
3. 8- "Shunted" connectors.... Well sorta 7 if i screwed up see below.

Wiring it for 4x54 W tfho

I have attached the pdf wiring diagram that i got from the website if it helps....

Horkn...really bankin on you here.

So here is what i know, please confirm that i am not wrong....

First, i got a little ahead of myself, looked at the diagram...looked at the wire and the connector and stuck that red wire into that connector, thinking it would just come back out... wrong, that SOB isnt coming out. Hope that is right.

If it is, then I will first do that to 4 of the connectors.... That solves that side of the lamps. I will mount them with all four of the "red" connectors on one side.

For the power cable I am planning on connecting the Black and white wires to each other (black to black, white to white), twisting and capping... probably taping too for good measure.

Here is what i dont know:

1 - How to connect the 1 yellow wire to 4 connectors.... im sure that there is a splice obviously i just need help in knowing which one to get and what kind of wire to buy to go from the 4 splices to the connector. Then i will mount all of those on the side opposite the red connectors... should be done as far as wiring the connectors at that point...right?

2 - Assuming that i wired the power cable correctly for the black and white above... I have no idea how to ground this correctly. Need help there.

3 - I have no idea if im missing anything since ive never done this... let me know

Thanks in advance for you help. I have to say this seems extremely easy... hope im right...

 

Oh and it says to "use a starting aid" in the diagram

Whats that?

I dont see that on my desk....:-/

 

Also, just looking at my power cord here.... the computer cable is copper thread... the ballast is metal stud.

Do i need a different power cord?

 

1. to connect the yellow wire to all bulbs, you need to make a jumper from each one to the next. Otherwise you sound to have the right idea.

2. yes, the 2 wires go as you describe, and the ground goes to the case. there should be a lug or a screw to ground the ballast. Use that to attach the ground wire.

3 use a computer cord for the power, it will work fine.

 

Thats what i was thinking during lunch and was going to ask... thanks

 

what about the starting aid?
