Notes:<br />
• Max. lamp cable length of the "hot end" (higher potential to<br />
ground): T5, T8: 1 m/T4: 0.5 m<br />
• Excessively long lamp cables cause the following problems:<br />
- Poor radio interference suppression<br />
- Uncertain lamp detection (not in T8)<br />
- Poor synchronization of 2-lamp OSRAM <strong>DALI</strong>/DIM ECGs<br />
• Lay the lamp cables close together and close to the lamp<br />
• Lamp cables must not be laid in metal pipes and must not be<br />
shielded cables<br />
• Guide the cables of the different lamp ends separately<br />
• In the case of multi-lamp OSRAM <strong>DALI</strong>/DIM ECGs, the cables to<br />
the respective lamp ends must be of the same length to prevent<br />
differences in the brightness<br />
• When dimming florescent lamps the maximum lamp voltage is<br />
reached at the lowest dimmer setting (3 %-10 %) due to the negative<br />
current-voltage characteristic<br />

* "Hot ends" are the lamp cables that have the highest potential to the<br />
switching ground or protective ground. The other "cold ends" of the<br />
lamp cables have a lower potential to ground.<br />
Note:<br />
• Maximum capacitance of a filament cable pair to ground:<br />
T5: 75 pF<br />
T8/DL: 150 pF<br />
• Maximum capacitance between "hot" and "cold":<br />
T5: 15 pF<br />
T8: 30 pF<br />
