Technical wiring details
•
The EcoSystem digital link and power terminals
only accept one 16-18 AWG (0.75 mm
2
-1.5 mm
2
)
solid copper wire per terminal (12–14 AWG wires
require a wire nut to connect to terminal)
•
Ballasts, drivers and lighting fixtures must be
effectivelygrounded
•
Ballasts and drivers must be installed per national
and local electrical codes
•
Driver is grounded by a mounting screw to the
grounded fixture (or by terminal connection on
the K-case)
Control wiring overview
•
The EcoSystem digital link (E1 and E2) connects
the digital ballasts or drivers together to form a
lighting control system
•
Control wires (E1 and E2) are not polarity sensitive
and can be wired in any topology
•
The EcoSystem digital control device does not
have to be located at the end of the digital link
•
The EcoSystem digital link supports up to
64 digital ballasts or drivers, 64 occupant 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
•
Control wire colors may not match ballast or driver
wire colors
