SMART interface An additional interface for the direct connection of the SMART-Sensor D 9f ) or corridorfunction plugs. Application and functionallity see corridorfunction user manual. SMART-Sensor D 9f ) light sensor operating mode: The sensor registers actual ambient light and maintains the individually defined constant lux level. After every mains reset the SMART interface automatically checks for an installed sensor. With the sensor installed the PCA TC ECO y II automatically runs in the constant lux level mode. ON/OFF switch via mains, switchdim or DSI signal. DSI signal = 0 switches off, DSI signal switches on. With switchdim signals it is possible to change the controlled light level temporarily. Temporarily means that after a switching cycle OFF/ ON command the ballast will start at the preset value determined by the SAMRT-Sensor D 9f. The installation of the two wire bus is according to the appropriate low voltage regulations. ) Light sensor D: article number 8499 switchdim Integrated switchdim function allows a direct connection of a push to make switch for dimming and switching. Brief push (< 0. s) switches ballast ON and OFF. The ballasts switch-on at light level set at switch-off. After switch ON the last settet dimming level will be activated again. When the push to make switch is held, PCA ballasts are dimmed. After repush the PCA is dimmed in the opposite direction. The switchdim fade time is set to s from min. to max. in the factory settings. With a 0 s push to the push to make switch this fade time can be changed to s. In this instance the switchdim application will be synchronized to 0 % light level after 0 s and after 0 s the light level rises to 00 % with the new fade time. At every synchronizsation (0 s keystroke) the device will reset to s (factory setting) In installations with PCAs with different dimming levels or opposite dimming directions (e.g. after a system extension), all PCAs can be synchronized to 0 % dimming level by a 0 s push. Use of push to make switch with indicator lamp is not permitted. switchdim and corridorfunction are very simple tools for controlling ballasts with conventional momentaryaction switches or motion sensors. To ensure correct operation a sinusoidal mains voltage with a frequency of 0 Hz or 0 Hz is required at the control input. Special attention must be paid to achieving clear zero crossings. Serious mains faults may impair the operation of switchdim and corridorfunction. corridorfunction To activate the corridorfunction a voltage of 0 V simply has to be applied for five minutes at switchdim connection. The unit will then switch automatically to the corridorfunction. Note: If the corridorfunction is wrongly activated in a switchdim system (for example a switch is used instead of pushbutton), there is the option of installing a pushbutton and deactivating the corridorfunction mode by five short pushes of the button within three seconds. The corridorfunction offers the added benefit of a second and third preprogrammed profile, which can be activated by the corridorfunction plugs. It is also possible to combine the corridorfunction with the SMART-Sensor D 9f light sensor.

This inno vative feature of the PCA family of control gear from Tridonic immediately shows if the mains voltage rises above certain thresholds. Measures can then be taken quickly to prevent damage to the control gear. If the mains voltage rises above approx. 8 Vrms (voltage depends on the ballast type), the lamp starts flashing on and off. To avoid a damage of the device the mains supply has to be switched off at this signal. Intelligent Temperature Guard The intelligent temperature guard protects the PCA TC ECO y II from thermal overheating by reducing the output power or switching off in case of operation above the thermal limits of the luminaire or ballast. Depending on the luminaire design, the ITG operates at about to 0 C above tc temperature.

This value is influenced by the way the wiring is made. Lamp connection should be made with symmetrical wiring. Hot leads (0,,, 7) and cold leads (,, 4, ) should be separated as much as possible. When using two or more dimmable ballasts in one luminaire with separate dimming controls, the lamp leads must be kept separate. Sensor wires Sensor wires must be routed separately from the lamp wires and mains cables otherwise the lighting control system may malfunction. If separate routing is not possible (for reasons of space) shielded lamp wires and mains cables must be used. Dimmable ballasts from Tridonic have to be earthed.

Magnetic fields generated during the ignition cycle can cause some background noise but only for a few milliseconds. Operation on DC voltage Our ballasts are construed to operate DC voltage and pulsed DC voltage. To operate ballasts with pulsed DC voltage the polarity is absolute mandatory. + DA/D DA/D Isolation and electric strength testing of luminaires Electronic devices can be damaged by high voltage. This has to be considered during the routine testing of the luminaires in production. According to IEC 098- Annex Q (informative only!) or ENEC 0-Annex A, each luminaire should be submitted to an isolation test with 00 VDC for second. This test voltage should be connected between the interconnected phase and neutral terminals and the earth terminal. The isolation resistance must be at least MΩ. As an alternative, IEC 098- Annex Q describes a test of the electrical strength with 00 VAC (or.44 x 00 VDC). To avoid damage to the electronic devices this test must not be conducted. Glow-wire test according to EN 098-0 C, 70 C and 80 C passed For further technical information please visit www.tridonic.com www.tridonic.com 0
