REMOTE, TANDEM OR THROUGH WIRING DISTANCES

REMOTE MOUNTING OF ELECTRONIC BALLASTS
Unlike magnetic ballasts, electronic ballasts are limited in remote mounting distance from the lamps they operate. The factors limiting
the distance from the electronic ballasts to the lamps are: open circuit voltage as opposed to operating voltage, operating frequency and
the lamp operating current.
As the distance from the high frequency electronic ballasts to the lamp increases, so does the capacitance across the lead wire to the
lamp. This increase in capacitance is important for two reasons. First, if the capacitance is too high, there will not be sufficient open
FLUORESCENT
ELECTRONIC
circuit voltage across the lamp for proper lamp ignition.
Second, if the lamp is capable of ignition, the increased capacitance will cause a loss in the current to the lamp. The added capacitance
creates what is known as a “shunt” around the lamp; in other words the current will leak from the red wire (or blue) to the yellow,
completely bypassing the lamp. The current through the lamp will be reduced, resulting in lower lumens, with the possibility that the lamp
will not be capable of sustained operation.
The Mark 7® 0-10V, Mark 10® Powerline, and ROVR dimming ballasts are particularly sensitive to high capacitance associated with long
lead wires. The dimming ballast is capable of very low dim levels because constant filament heat is provided to the lamp. If there is any
loss of current, the filament current will be reduced and the lamp will begin to flicker, or it will be completely extinguished. It is also
important that the red and blue leads not be twisted together. Twisting the red and blue leads will add capacitance, causing the lamp to
flicker at the lower dimming levels.
Open circuit voltage is a function of input voltage in some ballast designs, particularly for dedicated voltage ballasts. Cold temperature
starting is a function of open circuit voltage. The lead length recommendations in the following table are for normal rated input voltages
(120V, 277V, 347V) at 25°C ambient temperature.
In summary, there is a wide range and varying types of electronic ballast architectures that are capable of being remote mounted for
an equally wide range of distances. If you are uncertain of the remote mounting restrictions for a particular electronic ballast please
consult Technical Services.
Notes:
1. For Tandem or Through wiring, any lamp can be remote mounted.
2. For Tandem or Through wiring, BLUE lamp must be in same fixture as ballast.
3. For Tandem or Through wiring, RED lamp must be in same fixture as ballast.
4. No Tandem or Through wiring allowed.
5. No Remote, Tandem or Through wiring allowed.
6. For Tandem or Through wiring, RED lamp and BLUE lamp must be in same fixture as ballast.
7. For Tandem or Through wiring, RED lamp and YELLOW lamp must be in same fixture as ballast.
(a) Ballast can be Remote, Tandem or Through wired farther than 20'. Consult factory.
(b) Ballast can be Remote, Tandem or Through wired to a maximum 12 feet between ballast and lampholder for (2)F96T8/HO lamps or 20 feet for all other T8/HO lamps.
(c) Ballast can be Remote, Tandem or Through wired to a maximum 10 feet between ballast and lampholder for energy-saving lamps or 20 feet for standard lamps.
(d) For tandem wiring, lamp leads from multiple ballast cannot be run in same conduit. Separate conduit must be used for each ballast.
Use 18 AWG wire or larger

Reading Date Codes for Warranty Date on Electronic Ballasts

Most date codes are stamped on the back of the ballast (opposite the label side). The date code is part of a larger group of numbers
and letters, which call out the various codes for the factory where the ballast was manufactured. Depending upon which Advance factory
manufactured the ballast, the date stamp can vary slightly, in terms of its position on the ballast and the number sequence.
Some electronic ballasts manufactured from 1988 to 1991 may have the date code in ink stamped on the ballast label. Some ballasts have
FLUORESCENT
the manufacturing code printed in ink on the end of the ballast.
ELECTRONIC
A typical date code for an electronic ballast will have the week and the year the ballast was manufactured. Some ballasts will have the day
of the week included too.
Some examples of these different date codes that you may find are:
937N1B
B41893
The date code is the 18th week of 1993, stamped one line over the other.
937N1J
P23292
The date code is the 32nd week of 1992, stamped one line over the other.
16
93
973N20P3
The date code is the 16th week of 1993, stamped at the end of the ear on the back.
892P
259P
24
94
The date code is the 4th week of 1994, stamped on four separate lines.
91405BB0291N
The date code is the 2nd week of 1991, stamped on one line.
9716T032HD
120432IS24
The date code is the 16th week of 1997, stamped in ink on the end of the ballast.
The above examples are for ballasts that are already out of warranty. The next two examples are for ballasts that may still be covered
under warranty. In 2006 the date code configuration was switched to the bottom example.
693P0MMA
53301707
The date code is the 5th day, of the 33rd week of 2001, stamped on the back of the ballast.
06127M50
F2104571
The date code is the 127th day of 2006 stamped on the back of the ballast.

Note: The use of Optanium (IOP) models is recommended to reduce striation in energy-saving T8 lamps (25W, 28W, or 30W). Remote or tandem
wiring of energy-saving T8 lamps (25W, 28W or 30W) is only recommended for Optanium (IOP) models.
