5.1 Definition
INTELLIGENT
Electronic Control Gear of OSRAM labelled with this sign are realised in
µController technology.
The ECG to operate T5/∅ 16 mm-fluorescent lamps in equal length detect
the lamps and operate them with rated data.
Thanks to this different lamp wattages and types can be operated with one
ECG type only.
5.2 Lamp Detection as
Fundamental
Advantage
In the past, T5/∅ 16 mm-fluorescent lamp systems have been devided in
two different families, FQ
®
…HO and FH
®
…HE.
With HO-fluorescent lamp systems high lumen packages (i.e. HO 80 W
with up to 7.000 lm) can be realized. FH
®
…HE fluorescent lamp systems
are not very powerful but extremely efficient (luminous efficacy up to
104 lm/W). Both lamp families have the same lamp lengths, however,
different wattages (see Section 2.2) which, up to now, required always a
dedicated ECG. This is now a thing of the past due to QTi and their
possibility to combine T5 fluorescent lamps of equal length.
These T5 lamp types can be operated with just one QTi:
FH

14W HE + FQ
®
24W HO ( 549 mm)
FH
®
21W HE + FQ
®
39W HO ( 849 mm)
FH
®
28W HE + FQ
®
54W HO (1,149 mm)
FH
®
35W HE + FQ
®
49 W HO + FQ
®
80W HO (1,449 mm)
5.3 QTi – the High-tech
ECG
As QUICKTRONIC
®
INTELLIGENT automatically detect T5/∅ 1 6mm
fluorescent lamps and operate them according to their optimal electric
parameters, lamps reach their maximum lamp life. As a result, lamp
replacement intervals can be significantly extended.
Due to the minimal losses of QUICKTRONIC
®
INTELLIGENT the energy
balance of T5 systems is optimised. The proven OSRAM cut-off technology
(turning off the electrode preheating after the lamp started) contributes to
the improved energy savings. For the first time, this is also possible for
dimmable ECG QTi … DIM thanks to QUICKTRONIC
®
INTELLIGENT
technology.
5.4 QTi – Advantages
QUICKTRONIC
®
INTELLIGENT QTi reduce not only the cost of
illumination, they also increase the productivity
• Less number of fixture types in the production process
(for example only one basic type for 35/
49/ 80 Watt)
• Less complexity in manufacturing through:
- identical wiring for dimmable and non dimmable QTi
- identical case dimensions (1- or 2-lamp versions)
- cw-terminal (combi wiring) for mechanical and manual wiring
• New design options for super flat T5 luminaires due to minimal
height of only 21 mm for QTi.
