Safety page 1 1 Safety 1.1 Definition of symbols Stop (Stop Danger). This symbol warns of serious danger of severe injury to persons. It must be strictly observed. Attention (Warning). This symbol indicates information the non-observance of which can lead to extensive damage to property. The safety warning must be strictly observed.
Safety page 2 The ELC causes a leakage current given in chapter 6. Safeguarding by means of leakage current protection type A and type AC according to IEC 60755 is not permitted! The ELC operates in principle as a frequency converter and is equipped with a mains filter whose leakage current could trip the earth leakage detector RCD.
Description of functions page 3 2 Description of functions The electronic ballast ELC is designed to operate medium pressure discharge lamps as described in chapter 6. In contrast to conventional ballasts (inductive lamp ballast or transformer or transformer with transductor), with an ELC the lamp is operated with high frequency (approx. 100 kHz). The lamp does not flicker and dimming is infinitely adjustable within a wide power range (see chapter 6).
