* If you are using the PXM-2, it may be necessary to open the HID ballast
enclosure and physically change the power connection inside the ballast to
240 volt. It is usually as simple as disconnecting the wire coming from the
ballast transformer marked (120) , and connecting the wire marked (240)
to the ballast’s power cord.
