Fluorescent electronic HF-REGULATORII Touch and DALI TL5
(Additional to Chapter 3.12 catalogue 2005/2006)
Product description Flat, lightweight high-frequency electronic regulating ballast, using DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) or Touch and Dim push button protocol, for TL5 fluorescent lamps.The HF-REGULATORII ballasts incorporate the new Philips EII technology offering full digital input (mains) and output (lamp) management.
Features and benefits The lamp power can be regulated from 100% to 1%. Flat ballast design, 21 mm high. Up to 75% reduction in energy consumption can be achieved by using automatic lighting control systems (e.g. Philips Acti Lume luminaire-based system solutions). Quick programmed start: 0.5 sec, flicker-free warm start, preheating the lamp electrodes.This enables the lamps to be switched on and off without reducing useful life. Ideal for areas with a high switching frequency.
HF-REGULATORII (Touch and DALI)
Digital control input according to the industry standard DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) combined with the Touch and Dim push button protocol. Low energy consumption in standby 0.35W due to the new EII technology. Increased lamp wire flexibility thanks to the Parasitic Capacitance Compensation (longer lamp wiring possible up to 2 meter). Smart power: constant light, independent of mains voltage fluctuations. Unit is protected against excessive mains voltages incorrect connections and incorrect lamp use. Striation-free operation, no stroboscopic effects. Lamp starts at 1% (DALI 1...100% in 100 ms). Automatic stop circuit is activated within five seconds in case of lamp failure (safety stop). Once the lamp has been replaced, the ballast resets automatically.
HF-REGULATORII is used in Acti Lume systems for
Equipped with connectors suitable for automatic wiring machines.
automatic light control
The Philips HF-REGULATORII electronic ballasts are equipped with EII-dim technology.This is a dedicated integrated circuit that ensures independent control of each electrode and, in doing so, takes care that: a. lamp life is unaffected by dimming position b. lamp burning is stable in every dimming position; and c. energy savings, when dimming are maximised.
Applications Typical areas of application include:
Dimensions in mm
DALI installations with daylight linking and/or movement detection (for energy savings) DALI installations with remote control systems (combining energy savings with comfort) Installations with emergency back-up, according to IEC 60598-2- 22/VDE 0108. Office applications were a simple and easy to install dimming system or personal light level adjustment is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lighting control protocols are supported by the HF-REGULATORII ballast?
It supports DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) and the Touch and Dim push button protocol.
How does the system handle lamp failure or malfunction?
An automatic stop circuit activates within five seconds in case of lamp failure; the ballast then resets automatically when a new lamp is installed.
Is there a limit on how long the wiring can be for the lamps?
Yes, the unit increases lamp wire flexibility up to 2 meters thanks to Parasitic Capacitance Compensation.
What does the Philips EII technology provide benefits like?
It ensures independent control of each electrode, keeping the lamp life and burning stable regardless of the dimming position.
