22185147 Lamp starting characteristics

Warm start
Starting time 1.5 s with AC and DC operation
Cathode heating will be strongly reduced after preheat time

22185147 Lamp operation

xtec is the new benchmark in precise lamp operation. During the manufacturing process at Tridonic the ballasts are adjusted to optimum values. This reduces tolerances to a minimum and enables a very precise fix-frequent (equivalent to current controlled) lamp operation.

22185147 AC operation

Mains voltage:
220 – 240 V 50/60 Hz
198 – 264 V 50/60 Hz including safety tolerance (±10 %)
202 –254 V 50/60 Hz including performance tolerance (+6 % /-8 %)

22185147 DC operation

220 – 240 V 0 Hz
198 – 280 V 0 Hz certain lamp start
176 – 280 V 0 Hz operating range
Light output level in DC operation: 100 %

22185147 Emergency lighting

Use in emergency lighting installations according to EN 50172 or for emergency luminaires according to EN 61347-2-3 appendix J.Instant start after mains interruption < 0.5 s
EBLF ≥ 0.5
Mains current for defective or missing lamps at DC operation < 5 mA

22176407 Installation instructions

IDC interface

• solid wire with a cross section of 0.5 mm² according to the specification from WAGO

Horizontal interface

• solid wire with a cross section of 0.5–0.75 mm² according to the specification from WAGO
• solid wire with a cross section of 1.0 mm² with an insulation diameter up to 2.5 mm
• strip 9 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of the push terminals
• Loosen wire through twisting and pulling

RFI

Tridonic ballasts are RFI protected in accordance with EN 55015. To operate the luminaire correctly and to minimise RFI we recommend the following instructions:
• Connection to the lamps of the “hot leads” must be kept as short as possible (marked with *)
• Mains leads should be kept apart from lamp leads (ideally 5–10 cm distance)
• Do not run mains leads adjacent to the electronic ballast
• Twist the lamp leads
• Keep the distance of lamp leads from the metal work as large as possible
• Connect functional earth to the ballast, either over the terminal or over the mounting screw of the ballast
• Mains wiring to be twisted when through wiring
• Keep the mains leads inside the luminaire as short as possible
