SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency,

POWERSENSE T8

ballasts offer several

advantages:

1. Wide Dimming Range:

operate linear

fluorescent T8 lamps over a 100-5%

dimming range and provide true versa-

tility in controls selection.

2. Industry’s Most Adaptable Dimming

Ballast:

ballasts feature micro-controller

technology for compatibility with:

• low voltage controls

• power line dimmers

• any line voltage from 120V to 277V

3. Unmatched Performance:

patented

lamp detection technology that virtually

eliminates variations in brightness from

lamp-to-lamp and provides uniform

lighting throughout the dimming range.

At light levels of >75% unnecessary

lamp-coil power is turned off, delivering

energy efficiences comparable to non-

dimming Instant start electronic ballast.

This technology also eases installation

and troubleshooting by recognizing

failed lamps, faulty wiring or loose

connections, and shutting down. When

the problem is corrected, the system

restarts automatically.

4. NEMA Premium Ballast (NPB) program

compliant.

The NPB program promotes

the use of high efficiency T8 electronic

ballasts by meeting or exceeding the

Ballast Efficiency Factors, (BEF) estab-

lished by the CEE, (Consortium for

Energy Efficiency). For additional

information on this program go to:

Setting the standard for quality, QUICK-

TRONIC POWERSENSE ballasts are

covered by our QUICK 60+

®

warranty,

the first and most comprehensive lamp

& ballast system warranty in the industry.

QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE ballasts

operate from standard low voltage

(0-10VDC) fluorescent controllers or

compatible 2-wire power line fluorescent

dimmers, making them ideal for individual

office lighting or automated building

applications, both in new construction

and retrofit projects.

For the individual office or conference

room, installation can be streamlined by

using a 2-wire power line dimmer; elimi-

nating the need for additional control wires.

For more advanced systems, such as

daylight harvesting or building automation

applications, standard low voltage devices

(0-10VDC, Class 1 or 2) are used to control

the lighting system. In this daylight

harvesting example, each lighting fixture

(or fixture row) is controlled by it’s own

photosensor; regulating the light output to

compensate for changes in natural

daylight. Depending upon the specific

application, energy savings of up to 60%

compared to fixed output T8 electronic

systems can be realized.

All QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE ballasts

include a line voltage protection circuit,

which protects the ballast in the event

that line voltage is inadvertently applied

to the low voltage control inputs.
