QUICKTRONIC QTP MH electronic HID (eHID) ballasts feature a state-of-the-art design to deliver performance levels unattainable with standard magnetic lighting systems. These ballasts operate quartz and ceramic lamps with exceptionalfeatures and benefits, listed below:
Unmatched Energy Efficiency:
- Ballasts provides up to 92% efficiency allowing maximum energy savings when compared to magnetic ballasts New Smaller cases:
- Mini Slim and Mini Square ballasts are 50% smaller than the standard sized can
- New smaller sizes allow more flexible fixture designs and applications while maintaining the features and system advantages of the standard size ballast Simple Installation:
- Installation is simplified by a singlepiece ballasts that incorporate the ballast, capacitor, ignitor and mounting brackets of conventional systems
- Two lightweight mounting styles allow for easy assembly in any fixture application (F-case and J-case)
RoHS Compliant: QUICKTRONIC MH ballasts are RoHS compliant and feature lead-free solder and manufacturing process
System Information
QUICKTRONIC QTP MH electronic HID (eHID) ballasts are perfectly matched with quartz and ceramic lamps to provide optimal system performance. This electronically controlled system delivers several advantages over conventional systems, including improved lumen maintenance and extended photometric life.
Low frequency square-wave:
- Eliminates acoustic resonance issues typical with high-frequency waveforms (Acoustic resonance issues may cause visual flickering, lamp cycling, shortened lamp life, and in extreme cases may result in non-passive failure)
- Provides a robust approach with respect to acoustic stabilities and is immune to variation in lamp geometry, fill chemistry and mercury dose
Superior c onstant power regulation design:
- Helps yield consistent light output and color throughout the life of the lamp
- Provides constant light output during periods of fluctuating supply voltage End-of-lamp-life shutdown:
- Prevents continuous starting after lamps extinguish which may cause permanent damage to the ballast
Internal IDTP (Insulation Detection Thermal Protector):
- Affords original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to remove all external thermal protection devices
- Reduces wiring complexity and installation time (to maximize the benefits of IDTPs, the ballast must be properly installed – See “installation notes” for details)

Installation Notes
-
Proper ballast mounting must be followed to allow for maximum thermal dissipation:
a. F can ballast should be mounted with the “feet” side placed tightly against the inside of the fixture.
b. J can ballast should be mounted with the PEM Stud side placed tightly against the inside of the fixture. -
Lamp holders and conductors:
a. Use minimum 4kV Pulse Rated Lamp holder.
b. Use minimum 600Vrms/4kV Pulse Rated Wire to lamp.
c. The red lead must be connected to center terminal of lamp.
d. Do not connect any lamp lead to neutral or ground. -
Grounding:
a. The ballast case and fixture must always be grounded. The grounding helps assure safety, proper lamp starting, and acceptable EMI/RFI performance. Install ballast in accordance with national and local electrical codes. -
Auto shut down function including end-of-lamp-life and thermal protection:
a. Disconnect power when servicing. Cycle power to reset ballast after auto shutdown. -
Control: Do not operate with dimmer or occupancy sensor.
-
If connecting the ballast input to 208V or 240V line with two “hot” leads, be sure to wire per NEC code: Re-Mark (re-identify) the ballast white neutral wire to another color (i.e. black). Be sure to simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded line conductors per NEC codes (i.e. switch both hot legs).

of end-user environment and application. Direct replacement LED lamps should
not be used unless they have been certified for electrical safety, are
