Operation
Warning!
Read “Safety information” on page 4 before attempting to
install, operate or service this product.
Burning in fluorescent tubes
For optimum tube life and performance, burn in new fluorescent tubes for
100 hours at full power.
Analog control
When a standard 1-10 V DC analog dimmer is connected via the dimming
circuit, Rail Light luminaires can be dimmed from 0 to 100% intensity.
Operation in extreme ambient
temperatures
Do not operate the Rail Light if the ambient temperature exceeds 40° C.
Rail Light luminaires can be operated in ambient temperatures as low as
-20° C (-4° F), but a combination of low temperature and low dimming level
will give a risk of flickering. In extreme cases, luminaires will shut down
power to tubes and will not operate until they have been reset by powering
the luminaire off and on again.
Flickering can be avoided at ambient temperatures below freezing point if
luminaires are operated so that they generate their own heat and maintain
tube temperature at or above freezing point. For best low-temperature
dimming performance:
• As soon as the ambient temperature falls below 0° C (32° F), apply power
permanently to luminaires. If light output is not required, reduce output by
dimming tubes instead of shutting down power completely.
• If flickering occurs when dimming, increase the minimum dimming level.
• If flickering occurs when dimming luminaires after startup, start luminaires
at full power for several minutes.
As a general rule, the higher the light output, the lower the ambient
temperature luminaires can tolerate.
