QTP8 1x36/2x36 is a member of the EMERALD OSRAM QUICKTRONIC series of energy saving electronic ballasts, suitable for T8/∅26mm fluorescent lamps. It has a 50,000-hour life and a 10% maximum failure rate (tc=75°C). It can reliably light the lamp in the temperature range of -25°C to +55°C. The filament preheating time is optimized, and the lighting time is less than 2 seconds. It is suitable for PC I + II type luminaires, with a constant light output, a voltage range of UN=198V~264V, and meets the CELMA energy classification EEI=A2, and can realize automatic safety shutdown, automatic restart.
This handbook describes the QUICKTRONIC® PROFESSIONAL T8 electronic control gear (ECG) for 26 mm T8 fluorescent lamps. It covers two variants, QTP8 1x36 and QTP8 2x36, and includes features such as long lamp lifetime, fast start, and suitability for emergency installations.
