EcoSystem digitally addressable dimming ballasts employ revolutionary technology allowing each
device to listen, think, decide, remember, and react to its environment. EcoSystem fluorescent lighting
control solutions are built on a simple building block architecture of fluorescent dimming ballasts,
sensors, and controls, free from interfaces and power packs. EcoSystem redefines fluorescent lighting
control as easy to design, easy to install, easy to maintain, and cost effective.
Features
•
Continuous, flicker-free dimming from 100%
to 10%
•
EcoSystem digital link allows for re-zoning without
rewiring, and can be wired as Class 1 or Class 2—
perfect for retrofit and new construction
•
The EcoSystem digital link supports up to 64
digital ballasts, 64 occupancy sensors, 16 daylight
sensors, and 64 wallstations or IR receivers
•
The PowPakTM dimming module with EcoSystem
supports 32 EcoSystem ballasts or drivers,
9 Pico
® wireless controls, 6 occupancy/vacancy
sensors and 1 daylight sensor
•
Low-voltage, 2-conductor EcoSystem digital link
provides individual, reconfigurable fixture control
• Supports digital control and standard 3-wire
line-voltage phase control technology
•
Sensors can connect directly to EcoSystem
ballasts; all sensor and wallstation wiring is Class 2
•
Communicates with wired or wireless sensors and
controls via local wired sensor connections
or compatible device
•
Line-voltage miswire protection of EcoSystem link
•
Slim-profile design
•
Ballasts maintain consistent light output for different
lamp lengths, ensuring fixture-to-fixture uniformity
•
Lamps turn on at any dimmed level without going
to full brightness
•
100% performance-tested, including burn-in at
the factory
Specifications
•
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): less than 10%
(select models are less than 15%)
•
Power factor greater than 0.95
•
Ballast factor equal to 0.85 for T8 lamps
•
Ballast factor equal to 1.0 for T5 and T5 HO lamps
Light management performance dimming to 10%
EcoSystem digital link or 3-wire controlled
• Non-volatile memory restores all ballast settings
after power failure
• Frequency of operation ensures that ballast does
not interfere with infrared devices
•
Factory-tuned ballast factors available to customize
the ballast for different applications
Environment
•
Sound rating: Class A
•
Minimum lamp starting temperature 10º C (50º F)
•
Maximum ballast case temperature 75º C (167º F)
Mounting
•
Ballast mounts using two screws (or sheet metal
feature and one screw) within a fluorescent fixture
•
Ballast is grounded via a mounting screw to thefixture
•
Lutron® and NEMA® recommend sockets
complying with IEC 60400. Sockets must have
a UL mark as well. Use rapid start sockets, not
instant startsockets.
•
Terminals accept 16-18 AWG (0.75 to 1.5 mm
2
)
solid copper or tinned stranded wire
Wiring
•
EcoSystem digital link: EcoSystem ballasts
require 4 wires plus Ground (E1, E2, Constant Hot
and Neutral); one 16-18 AWG solid copper Class1
or Class 2 wire per terminal
3-Wire: EcoSystem ballasts require 3 wires plus
Ground (Dimmed Hot, Switched Hot and Neutral);
one 16-18 AWG solid copper Class 1 wire
perterminal
•
The 16 AWG control wire must not exceed 900 ft,
and the 18 AWG must not exceed 550 ft; maximum
ballast-to-lamp-socket lead length is 7 ft (2 m) for
T8, T5 and T5 HO linear lamps, and 3 ft (1 m) for T5
twin-tube lamps
•
Ballast is grounded via case
