2 Electronic HID Ballasts Electronic HID ballasts have been designed from the ground up to be the most reliable and flexible ballasts in the lighting industry. Available in a wide variety of case sizes and configurations, HID ballasts are recognized in the lighting industry for their proven dependability in countless applications. With millions of units performing in the field today, HID ballasts can be trusted to deliver superior light and lamp life. All Electronic HID Ballasts Feature: Superior color uniformity Low profile, lightweight cases Excellent lumen maintenance Constant lumen output over a wide input voltage range and lamp voltage variation Significant energy savings when compared to magnetic ballasts Integrated thermal protection Approval for recessed use Microprocessor control Safety Shutdown features End of lamp life protection Superior hot lamp restrike characteristics Designed, tested, & approved for most lamp brands Low voltage lamp shutdown 1

4 Technological Innovations In HID Ultra Low Spectral Ratio This is a measure of the ballasts fundamental frequency (desired frequency) power in proportion to the unwanted frequency (high frequency) power. For operation with most lamps, ANSI requires that the Spectral Ratio in any 1kHz band between 10kHz and 400kHz be less than 1.8% of the total lamp power. All ballasts meet and exceed this requirement. Resonant Start Technology & Hybrid Pulsed Resonant Ignition System (HPRIS) Transformers was amongst the very early adopters of resonant start technology for HID lamps. Historically HID lamps were started using a pulse ignitor which used a 3-4kV pulse to start the lamp. adopted resonant start technology so as to reduce inconsistencies in starting performance, especially where the lamp is mounted some distance from the ballast. With the patented Resonant Start Technology, it is possible to start and run a lamp some distance from the ballast where pulse ignition systems would fail due to lamp wiring capacitance. s patented Resonant Start Technology has been developed over the years to further refine lamps starting characteristics and our most up to date Hybrid Pulsed Resonant Ignition System (HPRIS) is the safest and best performing HID ignition system to be found in the industry. Patented Half Bridge Technology Half Bridge ballast models use a patented design of half bridge topology which allows to produce one of the most high performance low wattage ballast systems available. This patented technology improves many aspects of product reliability over other ballast designs. Patented Lamp Current Crest Factor Control Ballasts have a patented system for actively compensating for lamp conditions and adjusting the lamp current drive waveform to control the lamp current crest factor under all lamp operating conditions over lamp warm up and lamp life. This results in reduced electrode erosion and increased lamp life. Certifications 3

22 Remote Mounting and Installation Requirements for Electronic HID Ballasts To achieve optimal performance with Transformers Electronic HID Ballasts, remote installation guidelines listed must be followed. Failure to follow the guidelines listed below can result in unacceptable lamp performance and loss of warranty coverage for remote installation. Installation Guidelines: The main power supply to the ballast should be run separately from the lamp leads, and cables from other electrical systems should not run in the same conduit as, or in close proximity to, the lamp leads. Do not add additional lamp leads from other ballasts in the same conduit. Use metal conduit that is a minimum of 1/2 in or 20mm in diameter. Maximum recommended remote mounting distance is 25 feet from the ballast to the socket. The following wire types are approved for use as lead wire extensions: UL 3321/AWM UL3071/SEW-2 or SF-2 Use of any other mounting method or wire type could create safety hazards, cause erratic performance, and/or cause permanent damage to ballast components. This can lead to premature field failures and void the ballast warranty. Please contact for approval of other wire types and with any other question regarding the remote mounting of Electronic HID Ballasts. 21
