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

• 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
go to: www.cee1.org or www.nema.org
(0-10VDC, Class 1 or 2) are used to control the lighting system.
In this daylight harvesting example, each lighting fixture (or
xture 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.

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.
