Application Information

QUICKTRONIC CF ballasts are ideally suited for:

  • Recessed downlights
  • Wall sconces
  • Ceiling fixtures
  • Commercial
  • Retail, hospitality, institutional
  • Occupancy sensors
  • Daylight harvesting
  • Energy management
  • Load shedding

QUICKTRONIC HELIOS CF dual entry dimming ballasts operate DULUX® D/E and T/E lamps with full lumen output and optimal system performance over a wide dimming range (100% to 3%).
This ballast features one mounting style of low profile, lightweight enclosures to provide simple assembly for any fixture application.
Universal input voltage (120–277V) and multi-lamp multi-watt capability allow for fewer SKUs to support a wide range of applications.
Dual entry, color coded, wire trap connectors located on the side and bottom allow for increased mounting flexibility with one ballast and also increased ease of installation.

System Information

QUICKTRONIC HELIOS ballasts operate standard low voltage (0-10VDC) controllers making them ideal for applications such as daylight harvesting or building automation applications where standard low voltage devices (0-10VDC, Class 1 or 2) are used to control the lighting system.
PROStart programmed rapid start is the optimum starting method, providing up to 100,000 switching cycles for use on occupancy sensors and building control systems. QUICKSENSE® end-of-lamp-life sensing technology helps to protect against overheated bases and sockets, as well as cracking of the glass wall. QUICKSENSE ballast technology uses dynamic end-of-lamp-life sensing to avoid false shutdowns caused by some static sensing methods and will auto-reset when the end-of-life lamps are replaced with new ones

WARNING:
Install and wire these ballast and controls in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), all applicable Federal, State and local electrical codes, as well as the specific instructions provided with the 0-10Vdc compatible control that you purchased. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel only.
These instructions are guidelines only. Installation may vary for different controls/fixtures/ applications. Be sure to follow the control instructions and all applicable codes and standards when installing dimming systems.
Please contact controls manufacturer listed in the controls cross reference for compatible controls and instruction wiring
NOTE: HELIOS Dimming ballasts source < 0.5mA (0-10VDC control input)
