Lamp starting characteristics

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

Lamp operation

x II 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.

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 %)

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 %

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

22185286 Intelligent Voltage Guard

Intelligent Voltage Guard is the name of an electronic monitor from Tridonic. This innovative feature of the PC PRO family of control gear from Tridonic immediately shows if the mains voltage rises above or falls below certain thresholds. Measures can then be taken quickly to prevent damage to the control gear.

• If the mains voltage rises above ≥ 280 V the lamps flash.
• This signal “demands” disconnection of the power supply to the lighting system.
• If the mains voltage falls below 130 V the control gear automatically disconnects the lamp circuit (light off) to protect the control gear from being irreparably damaged.

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

22185286 Wiring type and cross section

The wiring can be solid cable with a cross section of 0.5 to 0.75mm² for push terminal and 0.5mm² for IDC terminal. For the push-wire connection you have to strip the insulation (8–9mm).

RFI

• Connection to the lamps of the hot leads must be kept as short as possible
• 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
• Mains wiring to be twisted When through wiring
• Keep the mains leads inside the luminaire as short as possible.

High-Frequency (HF) ballasts for PL-L lamps are electronic devices that manage voltage and current to provide flicker-free, energy-efficient lighting. They operate at high frequencies to reduce power consumption, lower heat output, and eliminate noise. Popular models like the Philips HF-P 255 and HF-R (dimmable) support 1-2 tubes (e.g., 18W–80W), featuring warm-start capabilities that extend lamp life up to 50,000 hours.

Key Benefits and Features

Energy Efficiency: HF ballasts consume less power than conventional magnetic ballasts, increasing overall system efficacy.

Improved Lighting Quality: They offer flicker-free, constant light output regardless of voltage fluctuations.

Lamp Life Extension: Programmed, warm-start technology reduces stress on the lamp, allowing for up to 60,000 on/off switches.

Compact & Safe: Designed for easy integration into luminaires, with protection against overheating, lamp failure, and short circuits.

Common Applications

Commercial/Retail: Offices, shops, and supermarkets.

Industrial: Warehouses and parking garages.

Architectural: General, surface-mounted, and task lighting.

Technical Considerations

Voltage: Primarily 220–240V, 50/60Hz.

Compatibility: Suitable for PL-L (Twin Tube) and sometimes TL5 HO tubes.

Installation: Generally requires no external starter, as it is built into the electronic unit.

Symptoms of Failure: Buzzing sounds or flickering bulbs indicate a need for replacement.
