Application Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC
POWERSENSE ballasts
are ideally suited for:
• Occupancy sensors
• Daylight harvesting
• Energy management
• Load shedding
• New construction
• Retrot
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency,
POWERSENSE T8 electronic ballasts offer
several advantages:
• Wide Dimming Range: operate linear
fluorescent T8 lamps over a 100-5%
dimming range and provide true versatility in controls selection.
• Industry’s Most Adaptable Dimming
Ballast: ballasts feature micro-controller
technology for compatibility with:
• low voltage controls
• power line uorescent dimmers
• any line voltage from 120V to 277V
• 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 nondimming Instant start electronic ballast.
This technology also eases installation
and troubleshooting by recognizing
failed lamps, faulty wiring or loose
connections, and shutting down.
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 fluorescent
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 output
When the problem is corrected,
the system restarts automatically.
• NEMA Premium Electronic Ballast
Program compliant. This program
promotes the use of high efficiency
T8 electronic ballasts by meeting
or exceeding the Ballast Efficiency
Factors, (BEF) established by the CEE,
(Consortium for Energy Efficiency). For
additional information on this program
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.

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.

Controls Guide
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.
