for MH open xtures.
I-20/2008
Exclusionary base socket is available for use with Metal Halide lamps in open
xtures to comply with NEC 2005 regulations (GELS “S” Option).
Customer should consult or review local electrical codes for compliance.
All Electronic devices are susceptible to transient voltage spikes. For facilities
where the lighting circuits are not protected from transient voltage spikes
a (TVSS) Transient Voltage Surge Suppression system is recommended.
To protect the NuVation ballast a T VS protection system must be able to
suppress a 3000V ring wave as described in ANSI/IEEE C62.41 B1.

BALLAST DATA
* 13% Improvement in Pulse Start Metal Halide lamp lumen maintenance vs. magnetic.
* 6% improvement in Ceramic Metal Halide lamp lumen maintenance vs. magnetic.
* 50% lower ballast losses than typical CWA magnetic HID ballast.
* Lamp wattage regulation of +/-2% change for +/-10% change in line voltage.
* Ballast is rated for use with voltage range between 208 and 277 with +/-10% line voltage tolerance, 50/60 Hz, and will
automatically sense voltage within specied range.
* Ballast input current total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 15% when operated at nominal line voltage.
* Ballast is thermally protected to shut o when operating temperatures are
above unacceptable levels for the ballast safe and reliable operation.
* Ballast has an end-of-lamp-life detection and shutdown circuit.
* The ballast shall have a minimum starting temperature of –20 degrees F
and maximum operating ambient of 55 degrees C..
* Ballast is capable of operating pulse start metal halide or ceramic metal halide lamp types.
* Five-Year Fixture Failure Warranty.
* Meets requirements of FCC rules and regulations, Title 47 CFR part 18 for nonconsumer equipment.
Dimming Ballast
* The ballast is supplied with a violet (+) and gray (-) wire for dimming control connections.
* Ballast dims to fty percent of rated lamp wattage.
* Dimming voltage is 0-10V where 10V is high wattage and 0 is fty percent of rated lamp wattage.
* Ballast operates the lamp at high wattage for 15 minutes at start up.
* Ballast operates lamp at high wattage for fteen minutes after operating in dim mode for twenty-four hours.
