4.4.Technical data for installation

 

Mains operation

 

Rated mains voltage

120–277V, 347–480V,

 

and 277–480V

Tolerances for safety:

+/– 10%

Mains frequency

50/60 Hz

Power factor

>= 0.99

DC voltage operation (during emergency back-up)

Because of the run up, T5 VHO and HO Extreme Temperature lamps (and therefore ballast) are not suitable in combination with emergency situations.

4.5. Switching cycle effects

The rated average lamp life of T5 lamps is negatively affected when the switching frequency is higher than the IEC cycle (3 hrs cycle: 2 hours and 45 minutes on, 15 minutes off).
