• Single tube ballast analyzer
• Up to 2 MSPS continuous sampling
• Completely tests a ballast in less than 100 ms
• Fully automatic ballast start-up and tube striking detection

The XiTron 822-2571R is a single tube ballast analyzer that has been adopted by ballast/lighting manufacturers worldwide because of their greatly enhanced technological capabilities, greatly reduced setup and maintenance requirements, and low cost of ownership. With the 2571R, one tube and one ballast can be tested in a fraction of a second for every key parameter, including peak inrush, striking and light efficiency (when used with a light monitor). With a capacity of 2,000 measurements per second on each of up to 30 signals, the only limitation to testing throughput is the speed of your production line.

The 2571R can be used in stand-alone or computer-controlled environments. It allows the user to simultaneously measure all pins on all tubes, independent output measurements, 12 voltages and 12 currents, (i.e. independent tube V and I measurement, independent filament V and I, for each tube that is configured). A continuous sampling at up to 2 Msps ensures that even the shortest transient events are measured.
