New easylite fluorescent 3 lamp light dimming ballasts
There is a small plug that is helpful to have for these. I do not have the plug/adapater at this time and so it is not included.
For indoor use with rapid start lamps F32T8/32 watts - F40T12/40 watts - F40T12/34 watts
* There is a little connector, although not required, on end that is not included. I do not have them and trying to verify what model connector i need at this time*
***Please note that Easylite no longer supports this ballast model or has the dimming control available for these EV-FD-3-F32 ES. In short, these were discontinued a couple years ago. They were made for a local company. Things went sour. The local company got rid of them and said they wouldnt use their product. Easylite will not be of any help at all concerning these if you did call. For more information on controlling these please see the below paragraph.***
I can forward the below mentioned diagrams/write up to your email address if you like. Please message me with your email address.
A friend has installed some of the ballasts both with the dimming function entirely not connected for several days, and then after connecting it. These can be controlled only requiring a potentiometer and a resistor for full dimming! At least this is the information he gave me. If you are familiar with this and would like to purchase some ballast, I can forward/email a diagram I was given and some basic instructions with a wiring diagram.
Here are the general specs of all Easylite's T8's
Ballast Factor .88 (1.056@120%)
Minimum Starting Temperature 0 C (32 F)
ANSI C62.41 Surge Protection Standards
Parallel Wired: Separate transformers for each lamp allow lamps to stay lit if others are burned out. Unique to the industry.
Program Start: Proprietary lamp ignition sequence and operating characteristics increase lamp life.
Low-voltage power supply: The Easylite ballast supplies a constant 17V DC along our low-voltage control line. This separate power supply drives all the peripheral controls in our system and allows us to configure control zones of unlimited size. Easylite ballasts provide a continuous dimming range of 120% to 10% of normal light output. This higher range of operation allows the user to increase the light levels by 20% if desired. Easylite ballasts are the coolest operating and most efficient dimming ballasts available today. As part of an Easylite system, they give you the power to create a customized lighting environment that enhances employee productivity while reducing energy and maintenance costs.
