APPLICATION GUIDE Dimming Electronic Fluorescent Ballasts The following guide details the equipment and methods employed by Strand Lighting to control the various electronic dimmable fluorescent ballasts on the market. All major ballast manufacturer’s products have been tested for compatibility with our equipment, except where indicated in the notes. While there are a number of smaller or more specialized manufacturers of ballasts, most follow one of the control standards described below. In strictest terms, most of the ballasts listed below are not dimmable, but in fact controllable. The various outputs that we send to them are simply used as control signals, which the ballasts utilize to dim themselves to the appropriate level. Therefore, it is critical to select the correct control interface as described below. The interfaces that Strand employs are as follows: 1. Standard SLD, CD80SV or Digital Environ 90 120v incandescent dimmer module. Hard-fired modules are not required. Do not specify high rise time chokes. 2. Standard SLD, CD80SV or Digital Environ 90 120v incandescent dimmer module, connected to an ELVI-1000 low voltage (reverse phase) interface. Driving this ballast type with a forward phase output from a standard dimmer module may cause damage to the ballast. 3. Digital Environ 90 277v dimmer module. Special order; contact your local Strand representative for details. 4. Strand Lighting electronic fluorescent ballast controller (EFBC), controlled by 010vdc analog (available in 120v and 277v versions). 5. EFBC-4L 4 circuit Lutron interface board, controlled by 0-10vdc analog or DMX-512 (120/277v selectable). Each interface can control up to (4) circuits. The ballast models and appropriate control interfaces are: Manufacturer Model Voltage Interface Advance Advance Energy Savings Energy Savings Energy Savings Lightolier Lutron Lutron Lutron Lutron Magnatek Prescolite Sylvania (Motorola) Mark VII Mark X DIM-E Analog SuperDim 10 Digital SuperDim PowerSpec HDF Hi-lume Eco-10 (ECO-Series) Eco-10 (TVE-Series) Tu-Wire Ballastar Intelect Quicktronic Dim (Helios) 120/277v 120/277v 120v 120/277v 120/277v 120/277v 120/277v 120/277v 120/277v 120v 120/277v 120/277v 120/277v Notes 4 1 (120v) / 3 (277v) 2 4 None None 5 5 4 1 (120v) / 3 (277v) 4 4 4 Application Guide Published by the Architectural Product Group of Strand Lighting 18111 South Santa Fe Ave Rancho Dominguez CA 90221 January 2001 Page 1 of 2 ©2001 Strand Lighting Application Guide Dimming Electronic Fluorescent Ballasts Notes: The EFBC supplies a buffered control voltage and a cut-off relay. A separate 20A branch feed is required which powers both the interface and the fluorescent circuit it is controlling. If space is available in the dimmer rack(s), constant modules may be used for this purpose. The Dim-E series of ballasts, as well as the ELVI-1000 interface are only manufactured in 120v versions. The EFBC-4L supplies a pulse width modulated control voltage and a cut-off relay. A separate 20A branch feed is required for each fluorescent circuit, as well as a dedicated feed for the interface itself. If space is available in the dimmer rack(s), constant modules may be used for this purpose. The PowerSpec HDF ballast uses a proprietary pulse-width modulated control voltage, and cannot at present be controlled using the EFBC-4L Hi-Lume inteface. The 0-10vdc analog signal may be generated from a Microcontrol station, a DMX demultiplexer, an Outlook Digital Network Interface, or the analog outputs of a CD80SV (max. 12 per cabinet) or Digital Environ 90 (max. 2 per cabinet). The Digital SuperDim ballast uses proprietary communications, and is controlled by that manufacturer’s AddressPro digital dimming system. No external interface exists at this time. Osram Sylvania purchased Motorola’s Lighting Division in September 2000, and is now labeling the former Motorola ballast products as Sylvania. Both of the brand names and model #’s will appear on the ballasts, at least for the foreseeable future.
