SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency
POWERSENSE T5 electronic ballasts offer
several advantages:
• Wide Dimming Range: operate linear
fluorescent T5 PENTRON lamps over
a 100-1% 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 with
Patented Lamp Detection Technology:
• Eliminates variations in brightness
from lamp-to-lamp
• Provides uniform lighting throughout
the dimming range
• Eases installation and trouble-
shooting 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 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 electronic
systems can be realized.
When the problem is corrected,
the system restarts automatically.
RoHS Compliant: QUICKTRONIC
POWERSENSE T5 ballasts are RoHS

All QUICKTRONIC
POWERSENSE ballasts
include a line voltage
protection circuit, which
protects the ballast in
the event that line voltage

Please contact controls manfacturer to order/specify controls. For the latest controls list go to www.sylvania.com.
Also, for more information, refer to the LCA (Lighting Controls Association) site: http://lightingcontrolsassociation.org.
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.
