Ignitors and power switches

FAQ: Frequently asked questions


  1. What is the factory setting of ZRM U6M A001?
    • The ZRM U6M automatically calculates the midnight based on the switch-on time in the evening and the switch-off time in the morning. Three hours before midnight the ZRM U6M switches to the lower level and four hours after midnight back to 100 %.

  2. Which ballasts/ignitors are suitable for my lamp?
    • This depends on 
      • the application 
      • the lamp
      • and the quality of the luminaire.

  3. How does ZRM U6M determine the switch-over time?
    • ZRM U6M has an internal clock. This records the switch-on times in the night. The average of the operating time over the last three days is used as a reference for the switchover time for the current day. This method compensates for the different sunset times during the year.

  4. How do the ZRM U6M and ZRM U6L power changeover switches reduce the power?
    • Special ballasts with power taps are switched to a lower output. This enables energy savings to be made without affecting the life of the lamp.

  5. What is the difference between ZRM U6L and ZRM U6L/T?
    • ZRM U6L/T has a built-in delay. After every interruption in the power supply the lamp is operated at 100 % output for a period of 330 seconds irrespective of the switching status of the control line. This prevents the lamp ageing prematurely.

      ZRM U6L does not have a built-in delay. The switch-on behaviour is regulated directly via the control line.
