March 2007 - EBS3 Series Electronic Ballasts

SETEC Pty Ltd has launched the EBS3 Series Electronic Ballasts, a series of high frequency electronic ballasts for driving fluorescent tubes.

Powered from 24Vdc, the EBS3 series offer a wide range of features. Some of these features include high frequency (55kHZ) compact design, EOL detection and fault handling for short and open circuit (in the tube and filaments). The ballasts are RoHS compliant and have UL approval.
The ballasts are available in a range of 6W to 15W, with tube sizes varying from T2 (7mm) to T8 (26mm). There is a also a 22W circular ballast available, in tube size CT9 (29mm).

Date - SETEC’s Experience with RoHS compliance

SETEC has been working towards RoHS compliance for over 2 years now, starting in March 2004. With the deadline for changeover just around the corner, we are now fully compliant with RoHS.

Our goal was to be RoHS compliant by January 1st 2006, and we formed a RoHS team consisting of representatives from different departments. The changeover is a large undertaking, involving not only new equipment, but also component packaging, processing and storage areas. In addition to this, there is a need for engineering reviews of component suitability for new processes, training of staff,
procedural changes and stock management.
