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 versatility 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 nondimming 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) established by the CEE, (Consortium for
Energy Efficiency). For additional
information on this program go to:
www.cee1.org or www.nema.org
Setting the standard for quality, QUICKTRONIC 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; 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 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.

Control Specifications/model numbers may change.
Please consult manufacturers listed for their latest control models and to order their controls.
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.
