I am replacing a ballast for a single tube. The new ballast I purchased is designed for two tubes but states that it is also compatible with a single (more powerful) tube corresponding exactly to what I need.
They apparently forgot to draw the wiring diagram for the single tube setup though. The only diagram I have is for two tubes and seems to be typical:
Power Switch +--------------------------+
Line 1 (H) o----/ ----------|Black Dual Tube Red|-----------+
Line 2 (N) o----------------|White Rapid Red|--------+ |
+-----|Yellow Start Blue|-----+ | |
| +--|Yellow Ballast Blue|--+ | | |
| | +-------------+------------+ | | | |

| | Grounded | Reflector | | | |

| | '----------------------' | |
| | .----------------------. | |
| +----|- Fluorescent -|----------+ |

+-------|- bipin -|-------------+
'----------------------'
How do I convert this to a single tube?

EDIT I'm doing this from memory and don't have a ballast to look at so I checked a manufacturer bulletin. I was wrong in the beginning so I edited it out.
