?Elcotronic ballasts have been specially designed for installation inside ceiling lamps and panels, thus making wiring connections extremely easy.?Use fluorescent lamps with the same rating as the ballast to ensure proper operation. In case of need Elcotronic is at the customers' disposal for all technicalexplanations. ?It is recommended to supply mains voltage to ballast input terminals and 4 lamp poles output terminals; strictly follow, for each model, the diagram shownon the ballast. Always use cables of suitable section. ?In case of wrong connection, the fluorescent tube will not start but is not damaged. Check for proper connection to restore tube operation.When a fluorescent tube runs out, it is automatically cut out by the ballast and will be restored once replaced. ?It is also recommended to position the ballast far from heat sources and leave at least 5 cm clearance on both sides to allow for air exchange.? All ballasts are equipped with a protective fuse against short-circuits. ? As regards direct-current ballasts, if input poles are inverted, just replace inner fuse to restore proper operation.

STANDARDS

All Elcotronic electronic ballasts are submitted to severe testing. • Test of electric strength 2.5 KV to the ground. ? Test for proper operation and starting from 120 to 260 Volts at 50 Hz, in oven at 50°C, in freezer at -20°C, with mechanical shock, to check componentsfor proper fixing.Sample tests are performed to check compliance with EMC European Standards. ? PMM 8010 - Signal analyzer 9KHz - 30MHz - PMM L2-16 LISN - Artificial mains network, produced and calibrated by PMM Costruzioni ElettronicheCentro Misure Radioelettriche.In particular, our ballasts comply with the following standards : EN 60928-60929 Alternating current ballast for tubular fluorescent lamps.EN 55015-CEI 110-2 Limits and measuring methods for fluorescent lamps and lighting fixtures, as regards radio interferences. Some examples of graphs forcompliance with EN 55015 standard are reported beside. Electronic ballasts used in combination withquality fluorescent lamps, offer many advantages, including not only improved lighting quality and consequently better life quality, but also a considerable reduction in energy costs.Specially in large environments, wherefluorescent lamps are widely used, i.e. offices or supermarkets, the use of electronic ballasts makes it possible to save up to 45% on energycosts, while doubling the average lamp life.Therefore, we can say that ballasts quickly payfor themselves within a period of one year.In addition to our standard range of electronicballasts, Elcotronic is available to work out andexecute customised ballasts for use with speciallamps, according to customer's specifications. Data are given only as an example.Technical details can be changed without notice. Edition 11/2004
