2 Digital dimming with the DALI protocolDaliPRO Premium: Parallel-lamp digital dimming (DALI)VariPRO: Parallel-lamp analog dimmingLevelPRO: Parallel-lamp step dimmingBallaStar Light Level Switching (S30 & S50) Our Ballastar line offers two options of light level switching (either 100/50% or 100/60/30%).That makes BallaStar a cost-effective solution for both new construction and BallaStar ballasts are designed to ensure optimum lamp performance. Their Lamp CurrentCrest Factors are well below the maximum ANSI standard and they start the lamps according to ANSI recommendations at all dimming levels. Both of these important design parameters ensure optimum lamp performance.

3 In addition, BallaStar ballasts actually increase cathode heating when dimming to maintainthe cathode s proper temperature, which enhances lamp life and performance stability. 1, 2, & 3 lamp models for 120 & 277 volt Switches to preset light levels, keeping all lamps illuminated Eliminates the dark spots associated with inboard/outboard configurations Connects with two line voltage power leads Wires the same as an inboard/outboard fixture No special controls required; uses two wall switches Meets all ASHRAE and California Title 24 requirements for Lighting control THD <10% Lower installed costs; less wiring and equipment requiredBallastar Light Level Switching for ultimate MORE INFORMATION CALL1-800- ballast (225-5278)Fluorescent DimmingProduct OverviewPAGE 2-11 SuperDim Analog Dimming BallastsUniversal Lighting s new SuperDim analog dimming ballasts are a cost-effective choice for large scale dimming applications.

4 SuperDim ballasts are designed for T8 and T5 linear fluorescent lamps and T4 4-pin quad and triple compact fluorescent ballasts are compatible with a wide range of 0 10 volt controls and can be connectedto photocells for daylight harvesting. The resulting energy savings makes it easy to adhere to eventhe strictest energy requirements, including California Title 24 and ASHRAE versatile ballasts offer programmed rapid start technology for longer lamp life. They alsoincorporate end-of-lamp-life shutdown circuits, low profile designs and < 10% THD at full and Benefits Ideal for T8 and T5 linear fluorescent lamps and T4 4-pin quad and triple compact fluorescent lamps Compatible with most 0 10 volt manufactured controls Daylight harvesting options with photocells for maximum energy savings Programmed rapid start technology maximizes lamp life Low profile design for fixture design flexibility End-of-lamp-life shutdown circuitry ensures safe operation < 10% THD at full bright Universal input voltage (120 277 volts)

SAFETYA nalog dimming ballasts are controlled by using a low voltage 0-10 VDC control circuit.

9 Care should be taken to insure that the line voltage (AC) wires are not connected to the low voltage DC wires. SuperDim Electronic dimming ballasts have a protec-tion circuit that will sense if the ballast has been connected in this manner and not harm the Level Switching installation NoteThe two power leads for the light level switching ballasts must be connected to the same power circuit. The leads should connect to separate switches or relays for control of the light level switching operation. Connection of the input leads to sepa-rate power circuits can damage the : Do not connect any other ballast to the load side of the switches controlling the switched dimming Dimming ControlsFor a listing of compatible controls for Universal analog ballasts, please consult catalog page 3-7, or call 1-800-BALLASTor check out the Dimming and Controls section of our home page at Class P ballasts do not require fusing.
