Ballast/Socket Leads

exceed 3 ft (1 m) for T4 and T5 twin-tube lamps.
Lamp Sockets
Qualitylampsocketsarerequiredtoensure
positivelamp-pintosocketcontact.T4compact
socketsmustbethe4pintype,andmustbe
used with 4 pin compact lamps. T5 twin-tube
lampsrequiresocketsthatlockintothelamp
base and provide proper lamp support to hold
lamppinsinfullcontactwithsocket.
Lamp Mounting for T5 Twin-Tube
Manyfluorescentlampsocketsareavailable
with mounting slots to vary the height of the lamp
away from the grounded metal surface. Use
theseslotstokeeptheoutsideedgeofthelamp
at least 1/4 in (6.3 mm) away from the grounded
metal surface.
Havingafluorescentlamptooclosetothe
groundedmetalwillmaketheminimumintensity
too low and will reduce lamp life.
Wiring and Grounding
All wiring from the dimming control to Compact
SE ballasts is line voltage wiring and may be run
together in the same conduit.
Ballast and lighting fixture must be effectively
grounded. Ballasts must be installed per national
and local electrical codes.
ATTENTION
FACILITIES MANAGERS
PERFORMANCE
Lamp Seasoning Requirements
Some fluorescent lamp manufacturers recom-
mend that new fluorescent lamps be operated
at full output (“seasoned”) before they can be
dimmed, to render lamp impurities inert, ensuring
proper dimming performance and average rated
lamp life. Please contact your lamp manufacturer
for seasoning requirements.
SERVICE
Replacement Parts
Use replacement parts with exact Lutron model
numbers. Consult Lutron if you have any
questions.
Further Information
Ballasts for other lamp types and voltages are
available.ConsultLutron’sFluorescentDimming
Systems Selection Guide (P/N 366-002).
For further information, please visit us at
http://www.lutron.com/ballastsorcontact
our 24-hour Technical Support Center at
1.800.523.9466.
Number of Ballasts Per Control
To calculate the maximum number of ballasts
allowedpercontrol,dividecontrol’scurrent
capacity by individual ballast current. Certain
controls allow a specific maximum number
of ballasts.
Ballast Operating Temperature
