ROVR™

Digital Addressable Ballasts — Intelligent Control


Philips Advance ROVR ballasts reflect the latest approach to controlling fluorescent lighting.
Rather than simply responding to instructions from control components, ROVR ballasts enable
two-way communication, allowing for virtually unlimited design flexibility while creating sustainable lighting systems.


This two-way communication is made possible through the industry-standard digital communication protocol known as DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). The DALI protocol allows up to 64 individual ballasts/devices to be controlled — in up to 16 groups — on each DALI loop.


The DALI protocol allows ROVR ballasts to:
• Provide users with operational data
• Control the output of individual luminaires
• Fully support sustainable design principles such as daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors
• Enable a proactive response to ballast/lamp maintenance issues


Users can adapt their lighting configurations to meet changing operational or occupant
needs, making ROVR ideal for training centers, auditoriums, educational facilities, or
entertainment venues.
