Dimmers for Ambistar Ballasts

In conjunction with Lightolier, Lightolier Controls has developed a line of dimmers that specifically operate with Advance® AmbiStar® dimmable fluorescent ballasts that are used in Lightolier's Xceed™ fluorescent fixtures.  These dimmers are offered in three models to fit virtually any application and need - from individual room to a system solution to occupancy sensing control.

For Occupancy Sensing Needs...IntelliSight® Occupancy Sensing Dimmer (ITSEBAU)

The IntelliSight® ITSEBAU is a designer-style, multiple technology, occupancy-sensing electronic fluorescent dimmer. Designed for today's energy-conservation initiatives, the ITSEBAU combines the strengths of a dimmer with an occupancy sensor. The dimmer is designed to control Advance® AmbiStar Fluorescent Dimming Ballasts when used in 120VAC or 277VAC applications. Each unit has an automatic shut-off feature and provides multi-location on/off (three-way) control when used with the Lightolier® Controls ITSRB Remote.

Features: 

  • Attractive designer styling which complements other designer-style electrical devices and faceplates.
  • Controls Advance® AmbiStar Fluorescent Dimming Ballasts for present and future energy initiatives.
  • Multiple technologies to improve sensitivity and decrease false triggering, creating a much user-friendly and custom device without creating complexity.
  • Light level adjustments which offer a full range of lighting levels, with preset capabilities.
  • Manual override capabilities which allow the lights to be adjusted to any level without affecting the preset level(s), including full brightness.
  • Intelligent self-adjustment mode which continuously monitors space and occupancy patterns to self-adjust to the most efficient control of the monitored space.
  • Adjustable time-out period, including automatic.
  • Sensor sensitivity settings to tailor switch to unusual spaces.
  • Universal voltages of 120 and 277 VAC power with a single ground connection.
  • Ambient light override capabilities to monitor ambient light levels preventing switch from turning on if ambient light is above a certain level.
  • Power fail memory - years of power failure memory for building sweeps and unplanned power losses.
  • California Energy Commission's appliance efficiency regulations - Title 24 compliant for use in commercial and
    residential applications.

For System Dimming Control...MultiSet Pro® Fluorescent Dimmer (MSP600EBA)

The MultiSet Pro® Electronic Dimmable Fluorescent Ballast Dimmer is a digital, micro-touch preset dimmer, designed for fluorescent loads not exceeding 600VA (see chart on back page). The unit is equipped with an automatic fade and LED readout, providing full-function, three-way and multi-location dimming control when used with Lightolier® Controls MultiSet Pro Channel Remotes. MultiSet Pro Masters provide up to thirteen preset scenes within a network of up to 30 dimmers and masters. This unit is designed to control permanently installed fluorescent loads equipped with Advance® AmbiStar ballasts at 120V.

Features:

  • Streamlined appearance and operation.
  • As an individual device, the MultiSet Pro Electronic Dimmable Fluorescent Ballast Dimmer has the capability to recall two presets-a user-selected "on" level and full brightness. However, with a MultiSet Pro Master, the dimmer can recall up to thirteen preset scenes.
  • Manual override-allows the lights to be adjusted to any level without affecting the preset level(s).
  • Automatic fade-gently turns the lights on and off, thereby preserving the unit's lamp life.
  • Power failure memory-a feature that returns the dimmer to the level of lighting the unit held before the power failure occurred.
  • Full-Function MultiSet Pro Channel Masters take control of up to four devices from multiple locations and permit full-function dimming capabilities.
  • Full-Function MultiSet Pro permit total dimming control of up to 30 dimmers and masters on the network. In addition, they allow up to thirteen preset scenes. Please note that MultiSet Pro Masters and devices are not phase-sensitive.
  • A total of twelve fade rates, programmable by scene ranging from one second to one hour.
  • Capable of two-way communication between the master and the dimmer so that the system On/Off status is always known.

For Individual Room Control...Onset Fluorescent Dimmer (OS600EBA)

The Onset® OS600EBA Electronic Dimmable Fluorescent Ballast Dimmer is a digital, micro-touch preset dimmer, designed for use with permanently installed fluorescent loads with Advance® AmbiStar ballasts at 120V. The unit is equipped with an automatic fade and LED readout, providing full-function, three-way and multi-location dimming control when used with Onset Remotes. Onset Masters and Master Remotes have the ability to control up to four Onset dimmers simultaneously, offering an economical way to create preset lighting scenes.
