Understanding T12 Electronic Ballasts Electronic T12 GE multivolt and dedicated voltage ProLine® T12 high-performance ballasts are designed for replacement of magnetic T12 electronic ballasts during maintenance or retrofits. GE multivolt ProLine® T12 ballasts have the same wiring and mounting requirements as standard magnetic ballasts and provide up to 20% energy savings by simply replacing the ballast. The DOE ballast ruling effective April 1, 2005, prevents the sale of 4 foot and 8 foot lamp electromagnetic ballasts that operate T12 lamps and do not meet federal ballast efficiency requirements. GE ProLine® T12 electronic ballasts meet the DOE minimum ballast efficiency requirements and also allow facility managers to reduce ballast maintenance inventories by consolidating the number of ballasts needed. GE ProLine® T12 ballasts operate both energysaving and standard wattage lamps and are also multi-voltage (120-277V). With 2 ballasts, the multi-voltage ProLine® T12 can consolidate over 40 different magnetic ballasts. Performance Features • GE240RSMVN and GE240RS120 comply with FCC for residential use • Low-profile and lightweight housing simplifies installation and reduces transportation costs (GE240 = 1.3 lbs. lighter than magnetic; GE260 = 5.3 lbs. lighter than magnetic)
•P arallel operation — if one lamp fails, others remain lit • Significantly quieter than magnetic • High-frequency operation virtually eliminates lamp flickering typical in T12 electromagnetic systems • Five-year limited ballast warranty
Electromagnetic T12 • Complete line of ballasts for 2-to-8 foot lamps, circleline and high-output lamps • 100% thermally protected • High-grade lamination steel assures lowest wattage loss • UL, CSA and/or cUL approved • 888-GEBALLAST on every ballast • Two-year limited ballast warranty
Color-Coded Ballast and Outer Box Labels 120V – Yellow 277V – Red Packaging • Standard 10 packs • IP Packs – individually packed with instructions • DIY – shrink-wrapped and tray-packed with instructions
