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
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.
light 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.

These ballasts are RoHS compliant and
feature lead-free solder, printed circuit
boards and manufacturing process.
Setting the standard for quality,
QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE ballasts are
covered by the QUICK 60+® warranty,
the first and most comprehensive lamp &
ballast system warranty in the industry.
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.

WARNING:
Install and wire these ballast and controls in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), all applicable Federal, State
and local electrical codes, as well as the specific instructions provided with the compatible control that you purchased.
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel only.
These instructions are guidelines only. Installation may vary for different controls/fixtures/applications. Be sure to follow the
control instructions and all applicable codes and standards when installing dimming systems.
Please contact controls manufacturer listed in the OSRAM SYLVANIA Inc. controls cross reference for compatible
controls and instruction wiring
NOTES: 1. Dimming ballasts source < 0.5mA (0-10VDC control input).
2. Powerline controls must be rated for the type (e.g. Fluorescent Phase-control) and size
(e.g. 600W, 1000W, 1500W & 2000W etc.) of the connected load. Do NOT use incandescent powerline controls;
incandescent dimmers are not rated for fluorescent loads and are NOT compatible with POWERSENSE ballasts.
Control Specifications/model numbers may change.
Please consult manufacturers listed for their latest control models and to order their controls.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
