Tech Notes

Technical Information, Updates and Notices:

 


BDL94C/BDL940

The BDL94C/BDL940 is not recommended for use with low mercury/amalgam (green) compact fluorescent lamps. We recommend the B94CG/BDL940G for use with these lamps instead.

Other products compatible with these green lamps are:
B84CG, B4CFG, B75C, B4CF1, B4CF2 & the B4CF3.

ULT (Universal Lighting Technologies)
All ULT ballasts are incompatible with Philips Bodine ELI-100-SD and ELI-250-SD Self-Diagnostic Emergency Lighting Mini Inverters due to the ELI units’ square wave output.

There is no two-lamp emergency operation with CFLs. Do not wire for two-lamp operation.

Because of EOL (end-of-lamp-life) error detection operation in PRS ballasts, the red/blue wiring must be reversed.


Osram/Sylvania T5
Do not wire for single-lamp T5 operation. Two-lamp T5 operation will work only after the red/blue wiring has been reversed.


Dimming Ballasts

All dimming ballasts typically require a short remote mounting distance. Therefore, emergency lead wires must be cut as short as possible during installation. In some cases, the 2’ length of flex on the emergency ballast prohibits emergency ballast use with dimming ballasts.

Please contact the AC ballast manufacturer to verify the exact remote mounting distance limitations.
