Installation Tips
- Separate wiring classes: keep line voltage and Class 2 control wiring properly segregated.
- Grounding is required: ballast and fixture must be grounded for correct dimming performance.
- Lead length limits: ballast-to-lamp wiring should not exceed seven feet for linear T8 lamps.
- 3-wire control note: 3-wire dimming controls only the connected ballast and does not group multiple units.
- System setup: EcoSystem programming is completed using compatible Lutron system controllers.
FAQ
What type of lamps does the EC5T832JUNV2 support?
This ballast is designed for one F32T8 linear fluorescent lamp with programmed rapid-start operation.
How low can this ballast dim?
It provides smooth, flicker-free dimming from full output down to ten percent light level.
Can this ballast be used with wallbox dimmers?
Yes. It supports Lutron three-wire phase control dimmers in addition to EcoSystem digital control.
Does it support sensors?
Yes. The ballast provides integral connections for occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, and a personal control input.
What happens after a power outage?
Non-volatile memory restores all ballast settings automatically when power is returned.
Is this suitable for low-noise environments?
Yes. It features Class A sound rating for ultra-quiet operation.
How many ballasts can be connected on one EcoSystem link?
Up to sixty-four EcoSystem ballasts, along with compatible sensors and controls, can share a single digital link.
