Philips Lighting 913701252402 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Philips OPTANIUM IOP2S32SCSD35M ballast run on both 120V and 277V circuits?
It accepts any input from 120 to 277 volts at 50 to 60 Hz, so the same ballast works on a 120V branch circuit or a 277V commercial feed with no model change. Input current runs 0.21A at the high-voltage end up to 0.47A at 120V, and nominal input power is 56W driving two lamps. That universal range is why facilities crews stock one part number across mixed-voltage buildings.
2) How many lamps and what lamp type does this Philips OPTANIUM ballast drive?
Two F32T8 lamps rated 32W each, wired in a series lamp connection. It is a two-lamp ballast only, so a four-lamp troffer needs two of them and a single-lamp fixture needs a one-lamp model instead. Because the lamps are in series, both tubes are driven off the same circuit.
3) Will this ballast fit in the wireway of a standard fluorescent troffer?
The metal SC-type housing measures 9.5 x 1.7 x 1.18 inches, which is the standard small-can footprint most F32T8 strip and troffer channels are punched for. Piece weight is 441 grams. Check your existing can's mounting hole spacing against the new one before you pull the old ballast.
4) Why choose a program-start ballast like this over an instant-start one?
Program start preheats the lamp cathodes before striking the arc, which is what you want in any space where lights are switched frequently or run on occupancy sensors, because instant start shortens lamp life under heavy switching. The OPTANIUM IOP2S32SCSD35M has a 1.5 second nominal ignition time and automatic restart, so it relights on its own after a lamp swap or a power blip. In a space where the lights stay on all shift, instant start is the cheaper approach; on sensor-controlled offices, restrooms and stairwells, program start is the right call.
5) Can I tandem-wire or remote-mount this Philips F32T8 ballast?
Remote, tandem and through wiring are all permitted, with a maximum ballast-to-lamp distance of 7 feet in every one of those configurations. That covers tandem-wiring two 4-foot strips off one ballast or mounting the ballast away from the lampholders in a cove or sign box, as long as you stay inside the 7 foot run.
6) Can this ballast be used in an outdoor or unheated fixture?
It is rated suitable for outdoor use, in a metal housing, with a maximum case temperature of 70 C. That covers weather-exposed and canopy fixtures where the ballast is enclosed in the fixture housing. Mind the 70 C case limit in hot, tightly enclosed fixtures such as sign cabinets in direct sun.
7) What wire and connections come on this ballast, and do I need connectors?
Leads are 18 AWG solid wire and there are no factory terminals or connectors on either the input or output side, so you make up the joints yourself with wire nuts or push-in connectors. Strip length is 0.50/0.375. Buy the connectors separately; none are included.
8) What is the correct Philips part number and base model to order for a 2-lamp F32T8 program start ballast?
The order product name is OPTANIUM IOP2S32SCSD35M, built on the IOP2S32SCSD base model. Quote that designation to your spec writer or facilities engineer when matching an existing ballast; the base model tells you it is a 2-lamp series F32T8 unit and the suffix identifies the specific 120-277V program-start build.
9) How is the OPTANIUM IOP2S32SCSD35M packaged for a multi-fixture job?
Each pack holds one ballast, and an outer carton holds 20 packs. For a re-ballast covering 40 two-lamp troffers you would be ordering two full cartons.
