SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE
ballasts operate linear fluorescent T5 lamps
over a wide (100-1%) dimming range and
provide true versatility in controls selection.
QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE ballasts
feature micro-controller technology to offer
the industry’s most adaptable dimming
ballast. Compatibility with low voltage
controls, power line dimmers and any line
voltage from 120V to 277V, provides the
flexibility to greatly simplify the specification, purchasing and installation process.
Patented lamp detection technology
delivers unmatched performance.
Variations in brightness from lamp-tolamp are virtually eliminated, providing
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
System Information
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; eliminating 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
connections, and
shutting down. When the
problem is corrected, the system restarts
automatically.
All SYLVANIA Professional Series (QTP)
electronic ballasts feature high power
quality (<10% THD), lightweight, low
profile designs.
output to compensate for changes in
natural daylight. Depending upon the
specific application, energy savings of up
to 60% compared to fixed output
electronic systems can be realized.

Setting the standard for quality,
QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE is
covered by our QUICK 60+
the first and most comprehensive

the industry.
All QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE models
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.
