Installation of an Dr. Mueller Omega

Sarge · 08-04-2003, 07:22 AM

Has anyone installed a 1996 Omega? and how difficult is it?

They are not too bad. Goes together pretty easy. Make sure you have a HUGE doorway! Like 42"-48", it can fit in a 36" door, but it is very awkward to move.

Must have a minimum of 3 people, put the bench in first & then have someone stand behind it, they can help lower the wires in place & also help with the weight.

John, Does this have a ballast tray under the bed or are they mounted in the bench and need to be removed?

3 or 4 ballast trays & transformers, Really Heavy.
The top & bench are rather light, they are just very awkward.

We usually strap the ballast trays to a 2-wheeler & move them 1 at a time.

Make sure you have at least 240V under load. You will need to have 4 boosters total. A 12V and a 24V in series on both legs. So you want to sit at about 244V-248V when bed is off. Also run the Hereaus 2000W lamps as it will give you 10% more total output and a little more uvb then the other 2000W lamps out there.
