4.3. Description of the ballast

•Quick programmed start: 1.2 second warm start, preheating the lamp electrodes; this enables the lamps to be switched on and off without reducing life.

•Intellivolt® 120–277V, 347–480V, or 277–480V: constant light independent of mains voltage fluctuations.

•End of Life Lamp (EOLL) protection: removes power to lamps upon lamp failure.

•Auto-restart cicuitry: eliminates the need to reset power mains after failed lamps are replaced.

•Low minimum starting temperature for cold applications.
