Dimmable lighting systems

Dimmable lighting systems are playing a more and more important role in allareas of application.

The reason is that many of the demands that are placed on lighting systemscan be met more easily and more elegantly with lighting controls. Economyand comfort are the driving forces here.

• Reducing lighting costs

• Raising comfort levels

• Promoting individuality

This has all been made possible thanks to technical developments overrecent years.

Modern dimmable ECGs with 1…10 V interfaces in combination with theappropriate controllers and sensors provide the basis for simple and cost-effective systems.

The right controller for any application

There are very many different ways in which dimmable ECGs can be used.Typical applications include offices and factories with daylight-dependentcontrollers, conference and meeting rooms with situation-dependent lightingand CAD rooms and control rooms with individual adjustment of the lightinglevel.

The heart of the lighting system is a QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE ECG with a1…10 V interface. This is controlled with a controller or a sensor. The choiceof the right 1…10 V dimmer components for controlling the lighting leveldepends on the particular application. The requirement profile for thedimmable lighting system must therefore be defined accurately.

Manual control

Manual control using switches and remote control units, for example, offers ahigh degree of flexibility and can be adapted to the specific needs of the user.The functions of different 1…10 V controllers can be combined for tailor-madelighting control.

Automatic control

Automatic controllers with sensors are ideal for saving on lighting costs. Thelighting level is controlled by light sensors according to the amount of daylightavailable (constant lighting control), so free daylight is used. Energy savings ofup to 60% are possible. Potential savings of 70% and more can be achievedby using sensors with automatic disconnection, motion detectors and timeswitches.

Complex control

A simple link between the 1…10 V interface and the instabus EIB buildingservices control bus can be established via switching/dimming actuators.Computer control is also becoming more and more important.

Over the past few years dimmable ECGs with 1…10 V interfaces havebecome standard components in lighting control. These ECGs can bedimmed via a two-wire control line (1…10 V interface).

Properties of the 1…10 V interface:

1. Control is via an interference-proof dc voltage signal of 10V (maximumbrightness; control line open) to 1V (minimum brightness; control lineshort-circuited)

2. The control power is generated by the ECG (maximum current 0.6 mA per ECG)

3. The voltage on the control line is isolated from the power cable but is not at safety extra-low voltage (SELV).

4. ECGs connected to different phases can be dimmed via the samecontroller.

For wiring information see Sections 6.1 and 6.2

In view of the properties of the 1…10 V interface the following points shouldbe borne in mind:

• All the control lines of an ECG installation must be connected with thecorrect polarity (+/–).

• The control line is isolated from the power cable but is not at safety extra-low voltage (SELV). Cables and terminals approved for use with 230 Vmust therefore be used.

• The control voltage can be easily kept within upper and lower limits;controllers can be combined with one another (see 5.5 and 5.6).

• The ECG can be tested for correct operation as follows:

1. Switch on the ECG with the control line open. The lamp must start andoperate at rated voltage.

2. Short-circuit the control line (jumper). The lamp must operate atminimum brightness.

• Each QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE can be used as a normal non-dimmableECG if a controller is not connected to the control line.

• Dimmable ECGs are only dimmed via the 1…10 V interface; they areswitched via the power line.

• Check the maximum load capacity of the controller (switching output and1…10 V output).

• The connected controller must be able to accept the current supplied bythe ECG in the control line (current sink) and reduce the control voltage.This requirement is met by suitably dimensioned potentiometers and allOSRAM control components. Normal power supply units, converter cardsand so on do not necessarily have this ability. To check, connect thecontroller, set to lowest brightness and measure the voltage on the controlline. The value should be 1 V or less.

• QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE cannot be dimmed via the power line (e.g.with phase control or round control pulses).

1.2 How to use this Guide

Target groups

The new October 1999 edition of the “QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE” Guide isan update of the last edition of January 1997 and now includes a largenumber of new system components that are indispensable for modernapplications of dimmable ECGs.

This Guide is intended for everyone who designs, plans, installs or operatesdimmable lighting systems. We have focused on practical considerations.

If you need a quick summary, we recommend that you read the Introduction(Chapter 1) and the chapters on basic circuits (Chapter 2+3).

In these 15 pages you will find everything you need to know about the typicalapplications of lighting controllers. In particular, Section 1.3 will give you agood grounding in dimmable lighting systems.

The part of this Guide intended for lighting professionals (Chapters 4 and 5)provides detailed descriptions of more complex circuits. Practical hints andtips round off the package.

If you so wish, you can skip these two chapters and come back to them later,but you must read Chapter 6. This provides you with all the necessaryinstructions for installing and operating the equipment. Chapters 7 and 8contain information on the ECGs and 1…10 V dimming components. Theyalso contain a number of pointers to help you choose the right controller.

The simplest way of controlling a lighting system is with a suitablydimensioned potentiometer (available in electrical retail outlets). Since thecontrol output of the DIM ECG is generated by the ECG itself, the resistancevalue depends on the number n of connected ECGs. It can be calculatedusing the following formula:

RPoti =100 kΩ log

n

If the calculated value is not in the resistance table the next higher valueshould be used, otherwise the lamps cannot be operated at their full output(note: this over-dimensioning may mean that the potentiometer may not turnthrough a complete rotation for controlling the brightness).

The potentiometer must be designed for an output of Ppot = 2.8 (mW) · n.

A mains switch is also needed to switch the lighting system on and off. Whenconnecting the potentiometer make sure that the full lighting level is reachedwhen the potentiometer is turned to the right.

If more than two ECGs are connected it is normally better to use a DIM MCUmanual control unit.

Floor-standing luminaires, single luminaires

Manual control unit DIM MCU is the standard solution for manual brightnesscontrol from a single control point (e.g. in small to medium size rooms withone door).

A maximum of 50 DIM ECGs can be controlled with on manual control unit.Control with a combination of two or more manual control units is notpossible. If more than one control point is to be installed it is best to equip thesystem with DIM ICM 10 and louvre switches (see 2.3).

There is a pushbutton integrated in the manual control unit (electricallyisolated from the brightness control). This switching contact is used toactuate relays to switch ECGs together in different circuits or on differentmains phases. A maximum of 10 single-lamp or 5 two-lamp dimmable ECGs can be switched directly in a circuit.

For systems with more than 50 dimmable ECGs see 4.7

The manual control unit is suitable for installation in flush-type boxes with adiameter of 55/60 mm. There are two versions available. DIM MCU P issupplied with a rotary button and cover plate, whereas DIM MCU has neitherof these. In this case, the button and cover plate should be purchasedseparately from the Berker, Gira or Jung range.

Please note:The manual control unit may be destroyed if incorrectly installed.A separate supply voltage is not required for the manual control unit.

Once the system has been installed, switch off all lighting, turn the button onthe manual control unit to the left as far as it will go and adjust the trimmeruntil you can see light.

2.3 Systems with switch control or remote control(DIM ICM 10)

Most rooms over a certain size have more than one door and thereforerequire more than one control point for the lighting.

DIM ICM 10 is a compact basic control module that provides a convenientway of dimming and switching the QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE. The DIM ICM10 can be controlled either with an ordinary commercially available switch or aDIM FB infra-red remote control unit.

The DIM ICM 10 receives the incoming control signals and converts them to1…10 V signals for the dimmable ECG. When it is switched on, the dimmableECG is connected via a floating relay contact to the supply voltage. Fordimming, the 1…10 V output of the DIM ICM 10 then provides the requiredcontrol voltage.

The DIM ICM 10 has a memory function for the last brightness value so when it is switched off at the switch or with the remote control unit and thenswitched back on again it will automatically revert to its last dimmer setting.

With DIM ICM 10 it is possible to set up a multi-channel lighting system(maximum of 10 channels, see 4.1). The channels are assigned with thechannel selector on the casing.

Meeting rooms, offices, conference rooms, foyers, control rooms, schools

a) Three-switch control

The lighting system is controlled by an ON/OFF switch and a combined louvreswitch combination, consisting of two make contacts.

Pressing the “ON/OFF” switch switches the element on or off; the memoryfunction stores the last brightness value and restores this value when thesystem is switched on again. Pressing the “BRIGHTER” switch when thesystem is switched off causes the module to start at the lowest brightnessvalue; pressing the “DARKER” switch causes the module to start at themaximum brightness value and then adjust either up or down until the endvalue is reached. The combination switch must be connected to the(ON/OFF), (BRIGHTER) and (DARKER) terminals as shown in the diagramabove.

A two-switch arrangement (without the ON/OFF switch) is not possible.

b) Single-switch control

Another option is single-switch control. An ordinary switch can be brieflypressed (< 400 ms) to switch on or off the control gear and therefore theassociated lamps.

If the switch is off and is then pressed for longer (> 400 ms) the moduleautomatically goes into dimmer mode, starting at the lowest brightness valueand continues to increase the brightness level for as long as the switchremains pressed. The process stops when the end value is reached.

If the switch is on and is then pressed for longer (> 400 ms) the module goesto either end value in alternation.

Ordinary installation cable can be used for the connection from the switchesto the modules. The cable should not be more than 50 m in length. If there ismore than one control point in the room the switch combinations can beconnected in parallel. A mixed combination of one-way and three-way switches is possible.

The infra-red remote control, in combination with the IR receiver, is used forcentral wireless dimming and switching of pushbutton dimmer/IR controlmodule DIM ICM 10. DIM ICM 10 has a connection for the IR receiver that isprotected against polarity reversal. The IR receiver can be installed togetherwith the DIM ICM 10 anywhere in the room.

The infra-red-remote control can be used to control ten lighting channelsindividually or with the common control button. There is an ON/OFF buttonand a BRIGHTER/DARKER button combination for each channel. (The lastrow of buttons enables all the lighting channels installed in a multi-channelsystem to be controlled at the same time).

Because the selected carrier frequency is 455 kHz, data transfer from the IRremote control is not affected by IR interference from fluorescent lamps.

The range of the transmitter is ten meters.

Saving energy with daylight

3. Basic circuits: Daylight-dependent controllers

The sun is the free and inexhaustible source of energy for our planet and also our most powerful source of light. We should make use of what it has tooffer in order to reduce the amount of energy we need to supply and thereforeour costs. And how can we do this? By producing only as much artificial lightas we need to make up what we don’t get from the sun.

A light sensor measures the brightness in the room and controls it with theappropriate dimmable electronic control gear so that a predefined lightinglevel is maintained at all times. This means that not only can energy be savedon sunny days but full use can be made of the available daylight on overcastdays.

Depending on the light sensor and the ECG used, energy savings ofmore than can be achieved.

For a comparison of the various sensors see Section 7.3. Project-specificcost/benefit calculations can be easily produced with the ECOS 99 program(see 8.3)

Obviously, the further into the centre of a room you go, the less daylight isavailable. For this reason, as in this example, each of the three lighting stripson the ceiling can be controlled by its own sensor. This arrangement achieves maximum energy savings since each of the stripsbenefits from constant lighting control.

Annual energy consumption of a 1x58 W luminaire in a typical officeapplication (2300 h), comparison of different control gear. Constant lighting control provides energy savings of 60% even comparedwith efficient 100% ECG operation.

DIM PICO is a simple light sensor for dimmable ECGs with a 1…10 Vinterface for installation in a single luminaire or for applications in individualoffices.

This mini light sensor has a light control function that reduces the amount ofartificial light by approximately 50% measured against the increase in daylight.

The diagram shows how a typical workplace installation works for a lightinglevel of 500 lux.

In large rooms or if strip lighting is installed, use of more than one DIM PICOmay lead to different brightness values on the ceiling. Mini constant unit DIM

MICO is recommended for such applications.

Single luminaires, individual offices

The light sensor should be mounted on the lamp with a T8 clip or a T5 clip asshown in the diagram. One side of the lamp clip has two nipples at the endsso the cable can be routed properly along the side of the fluorescent lamp.The sensor can also be installed in the luminaire with a suitable support to beconstructed by the user.

• The light sensor should be set with the aid of a lux meter with little daylight(evenings, darkened room) in a room furnished for use.

• Turn the casing of the DIM PICO until the aperture is barely open.

• The luminaire should be operated for approx. 30 minutes to ensure that theluminous flux has stabilised.

• Turn the casing to increase the aperture until the unit starts to dim thelamp(s). Turn back the setting slightly so that the luminaire does not start todim too early.

• When making adjustments to the light sensor you should remember thatyour own body will affect the luminous flux that reaches the light sensor.You should therefore stand well away from the sensor to check the finalsetting.

• In the case of luminaires in comparable positions you can copy the settingsfrom one photocell to the next by marking the position of the casing.

• Note: The time constant in the light sensor means that you need to wait afew seconds after each adjustment so that the luminous flux can stabilise.

3.2 Mini constant unit DIM MICO Mini constant unit DIM MICO is the standard solution for constant lightingcontrol for strip lighting. The control function is built in.

DIM MICO does not need a separate power supply; the control current of theECG is sufficient. The two-pole connection cable is connected directly to the1…10V control input of the dimmable ECG. A trim potentiometer is providedat the side for precise and continuous adjustment of the lighting level.

The mini constant unit can control a maximum of 100 QUICKTRONIC®

DIMMABLE units, thereby eliminating the major weakness of single luminairecontrol, namely the different impressions of brightness on the ceiling.

Groups of luminaires that have the same proportion of daylight (zones ofequal brightness) are controlled by a single DIM MICO. In rooms with striplighting arranged parallel to the window (such as in schools and offices) werecommend using one DIM MICO per strip.

The casing for single-hole mounting opens up a wide range of possibilities.DIM MICO is supplied with a mounting bracket (the mounting bracket canalso be removed) so that it can be clipped directly on the fluorescent lamp (T8 tubular lamp or OSRAM DULUX L).

Strip lighting, individual offices, open-plan offices, schools

• The light sensor should be placed within the room so that it registers boththe artificial light and natural daylight as mixed light.

• The light sensor must be installed so that objects or persons do notmaterially affect the measurements.

- Do not install directly next to a window (minimum angle to the window40°, rule of thumb: l > 0.8 h see diagram)

- The “eye” of the light sensor should not be directly exposed to the lightfrom the luminaires.

- Do not install directly in passageways (in corridors or on doors)

• The light sensor should be set in artificial light (at night).

• Reversing + and – causes the light to be set at its lowest dimmer setting(the ECG is not damaged as a result).

Applications

Installation notes, operation


The mounting bracket of the DIM MICO must not be placed near the lamp electrodes (risk of overheating), nor where a wire coming loose from aterminal could come into contact with it.

Multisensor DIM MULTI is designed for lighting control at workplaces or inrooms. It maintains the light at a constant level. If sufficient daylight is availablethe lighting system is switched off. It has an integrated motion detector sothat the lighting is only switched on if there is at least one person in the room.This is the most efficient form of lighting control and achieves energy savingsof 70% and more.

Strip lighting, individual offices, open-plan offices, schools

There are four different modes of operation:

• Alternative 1: DIM MULTI is used as a standalone unit to switch andcontrol the lighting in one area.

• Alternative 2: More than one DIM MULTI is installed and each is used toswitch and control a separate area; all the units take part in motiondetection.

• Alternative 3: One DIM MULTI switches and controls a relatively largearea; several additional DIM MULTI units are linked together to increase thedetection area.

• Alternative 4: The motion detectors are deactivated (turn the switch to 0).

Modes of operation

Alternative 1: • Single office• Only DIM MULTI

Alternative 3: • Open plan office, large area to cover• Shared presence detector• Shared lighting control

Alternative 4: • Single or open plan office• Motion detector inactive• Connect illuminated control switch on supply side

Alternative 2: • Open plan office, large area to cover• Shared presence detector• Separate lighting control


24

The brightness value to be maintained in the room or at the workplace can beset on the multisensor. It detects the level of mixed light (comprising artificiallight and natural daylight) with an integrated brightness sensor and adjuststhe room lighting according to the available daylight. If there is sufficientdaylight it switches the artificial lighting off after a preset delay.

If a presence is no longer detected at the workplace the unit slowly turnsdown the lighting after a preset delay and then switches it off. If someoneenters the room or approaches the workplace the lighting is switched onagain, provided artificial light is required. An additional switch can be used toswitch the lighting on.

The presence detector can be switched off at the unit (O/I switch). Thelighting will remain switched on until sufficient daylight is available and it istherefore no longer required. If the presence detector is deactivated on theunit an illuminated control switch should be connected ahead of it so that thesystem does not switch on again at dusk (Alternative 4).

The motion sensor on the constant light unit has a detection angle of approx.100°, covering an area with a diameter of approx. 7 m in a room with a ceilingheight of 3 m.

If larger rooms or areas are to be monitored, units can be interlinked(alternatives 2+3). Each unit can control the brightness of part of the overallarea. Presence detection is performed jointly however. In this case, it issufficient if one of the units detects movement (alternative 2). The additionalunits may be used simply as motion sensors to increase the detection area orprovide extra cover (alternative 3).

Design, installation andconnection

Installation instructions

The multisensor can be surface mounted on the ceiling (or, with the lamp clipssupplied, on T8 or T5 fluorescent lamps).

If it is to be mounted on the ceiling you can remove the baseplate from theunit and use screws to attach it to the ceiling. You can then use the cablesupplied to connect it to the lamps, or other suitable cables in the base. Thecontrol unit is simply attached.

With the aid of the lamp clips supplied the unit can be installed in luminaireswith a louvre at least 60 mm wide. The appropriate lamp clip is inserted in thebase of the DIM MULTI so that the entire unit can be attached to 26 mm or16 mm fluorescent lamps. The clip must be placed at the start or end of thelamp to avoid an excessive load on the lamp. The unit can be adjusted todifferent depths of the louvre luminaires by pushing in or pulling out the lampclips.

Wherever possible, the constant light unit should be placed directly above theworkplace for which lighting control is needed. The room brightness shouldalways be measured indirectly; light from the room lighting or workplacelighting should not shine directly into the unit. The optical system of thepresence sensor is designed for a room height of between 2.5 m and 3.0 m.In rooms with higher ceilings the detection density of the motion sensor islower.

If possible, the unit should be installed so that the brightness trimmer facesthe window. This ensures that the light sensor is pointing into the room. Avoidplacing the sensor in drafts (near a ventilator for example).

4.1 Multi-channel systems with remote control

Multi-channel systems with DIM ICM 10 enable different lighting strips in alarge lighting system to be controlled separately with a single remote control.One DIM ICM 10 is needed per lighting channel.

The channels are assigned to the rows of buttons on the IR remote controlwith the aid of the red channel selector on the DIM ICM 10.

There are three ways with DIM ICM 10 of implementing multi-channel lightingcontrol systems with up to ten channels:

1) The DIM ICM 10 units are interconnected via the DIM BK 10 bussystem

A DIM BK 10 bus controlled with an IR receiver is also installed as the centralcontrol unit. No IR receivers are then needed for the DIM ICM 10 units.

Remote control (multiple)

Bus controller DIM BK 10 receives the signals sent by the remote control viathe IR receiver and forwards the processed signals to the connected DIM ICM10 units. In this arrangement the channels can be controlled not onlyindividually but also together at the push of a button. This group controlfeature is possible with the group switch on the remote control and withswitches connected to the DIM BK 10.

Note: In rooms with alcoves and the like it may be necessary to install anumber of IR receivers to ensure proper infra-red links. This is done byconnecting DIM BK 10 bus controllers in parallel (BUS and connections). Ifyou are installing more than one bus control you should set priorities on theDIM BK 10 to avoid data conflicts (rotary switch: 1 to 10).

2) DIM ICM 10 are installed with one IR receiver each

This multi-channel system consists in principle of a number of independentsingle-channel systems. The wiring is as shown on pages 14f an in the abovewiring diagrams. For a five-channel system, for example, five DIM ICM 10units, five IR receivers and one remote control are needed. Common controlof all the channels cannot be provided with this arrangement, however.

Note: parallel connection of several DIM ICM 10 units in one control circuit isnot possible.

3) Maximum of three channels: several DIM ICM 10 units and one IRreceiver DIM IE

If a maximum of three DIM ICM 10 units are connected to form a multi-channel system there is no need for one of the DIM BK 10 units. The infra-redreceiver IE is connected directly to the DIM ICM 10. Group and individualcontrol are possible.

All the DIM ICM 10 units can be operated with different channel settings. Thesupply voltage to the IR receiver comes from the first DIM ICM 10. The othertwo IE receivers are connected with the IR signal and earth (brown cable andshielding).

This scene controller for dimmable ECGs enables up to four lighting groups(channels) to be controlled with a high degree of ease and flexibility. Eachsituation (meeting, PC work, overhead projection, and so on) calls for lightingadapted for the purpose. The various light sources in the room, such asceiling, wall, cove and accent lighting, can be configured with the aid of scenecontrol to create coordinated lighting arrangement that suits the situation.

The small elegant remote control is used to switch any of the four individualchannels on or off and dim them or call up a maximum of four individuallyadjustable lighting scenes.

Halogen lamps can also be included via 1…10 V converters for electronic HT1…10 DIM transformers.

Addressing

1. Set the dial (1) under the battery cover on the manual transmitter to Group A (for other settings of the group switch see end of 4.2).

2. Set Group A on the address switch on the IR module and set the addressaccording to the control button you want.

3. Make sure the transmitter is positioned so that there is a line of sight fromthe transmitter to the receiver windows of all the IR receivers to becontrolled. The maximum range of both types of transmitter is 10 m.

Note: When the button is pressed the red LED must light.

Scene mode (slide switch to Scene setting):

The DIM BEAMIT manual scene transmitter can call up four different scenes.Each control button on the transmitter corresponds to a scene.

The 4/OFF button is provided for use with any particular scene or for the “All OFF” command (all units switched off or returned to the starting position).

NOTE: The OFF command is not set up by default; it has to be programmedby hand.

Programming a scene

Set Scene to OFF (ALL OFF)

Calling up a scene(switching on)

Deleting a scene

Plan the scene in advance so it can be programmed without interruption.

1. Move the slide switch (2) to the Scene setting.

2. Press a control button (e.g. 1) for the new scene and hold it down for atleast 4 s (until the red LED flashes continuously). Programming mode is activated.

3. Move the slide switch to Channel (the red LED will continue to flash).

4. Set up the scene: The units involved in the scene you are about to set up should be set tothe required state with the manual transmitter (dimmer setting and/orON/OFF).Example: - Luminaire group 1 with address 1/Group A: ON

- Luminaire group 2 with address 2/Group A: 50%- Luminaire group 3 with address 3/Group A: 30%- Luminaire group 4 with address 4/Group A: OFF

NOTE: For reasons of signal reliability, each channel should be switched onor off at least once. If a control button is not pressed within 30 seconds theprogramming mode will shut down automatically. If units are not set withthe manual scene transmitter this setting must therefore be made within 30 seconds.

5. When the scene has been set up move the slide switch back to Scene.The red LED will go out. The scene is now stored.

6. Stick a label with the programming instructions in the appropriate language(choice of four languages) in the battery cover. NOTE: The scenes are stored with scene numbers in the IR module. Theseare permanently assigned to the buttons (1 to 4/OFF) on the manual scenetransmitter. If more than one manual scene transmitter is used in thesame room a maximum of four identical scenes can be programmedand called up on the individual transmitters.

The procedure is the same as for “Programming a scene”. In step 4, however, all the units involved have to be switched to OFF with the manual transmitter or returned to their basic settings.

Press the relevant scene button briefly to switch on the scenestored for that button.

Individual scene An individual scene can be replaced by setting up a newone over it

All scenes Move slide switch to Scene. Hold down the 4/OFFbutton for at least 10 s. The red LED will flash slowly atfirst and then rapidly. All scenes are now deleted.

IR module DIM IRM IR modules use the 1…10 V interface to control the dimmable ECGs. The IR modules themselves can be controlled from a DIM BEAMIT scenetransmitter or with an external switch on the IR module (see wiring diagram).A number of switches can be connected in parallel. (Note: Only non-illuminated switches can be connected to the switch terminal of the IRmodule, with a switch connection cable no longer than 100 m).

IR module DIM IRM is designed for installation in luminaires.

Switching: IR module DIM IRM uses a relay contact to switch the connectedload (dimmable ECG) on or off. Up to four ECGs can be switched directly.Because of the high peak currents that occur when an ECG is switched on,luminaire groups with five or more ECGs have to be switched via a powerrelay.

Dimming: The DIM IRM module uses the 1…10 V control output to controlthe brightness of the fluorescent lamp. A maximum of 50 ECGs can beconnected. If more than 50 ECGs are to be connected a DIM SA signalamplifier will also be needed.

Addressing: see above

The IR eye is separate from the DIM IRM module. It is used as a receiver forthe infra-red signal from DIM BEAMIT.

To ensure it operates correctly and achieves its intended range of 10 m, theIR eye must have a line of sight to the transmitter and must be placed whereit is shielded as far as possible from other light sources.

Note: Significance of the group switchChannel mode: A maximum of 28 channels can be controlled with the DIMBEAMIT manual scene transmitter (this can be set with the group switch atthe back of the manual transmitter). Up to 28 channels can therefore be usedin large offices with several manual transmitters.

Scene mode: Since the scenes are stored in the IR module under scenenumbers, it should theoretically be possible to incorporate 28 channels intothe four scenes. However it is not very practical to keep resetting the groupswitches each day (in channel mode). The setting on the group switch has noeffect on how the scenes are called up. If more than one manual scenetransmitter is used in the same room a maximum of four scenes can beprogrammed and called up from the transmitters.

We therefore recommend that you use the BEAMIT system primarilyas a four-channel system.


The two-part DIM MULTI 2 multisensor system is designed for daylight-dependent lighting control for individual luminaires (primarily floor-standingluminaires) or for room lighting. The lighting system is switched on by amotion sensor only if at least one person is present in the room. The setpointvalue is set on a central switch (standard pushbutton switch), or, if you needto, you can switch to manual control mode.

The kit supplied comprises the following two components:

• Multisensor controller (for installation in luminaires)

• Light and motion sensor (integrated in a single casing)

Floor-standing luminaires, suspended strip lighting

1. Normal operation

• When someone enters the room the presence sensor switches the light on(provided the setpoint value is not exceeded). The light sensor detects thelevel of mixed light (comprising artificial light and natural daylight) andadjusts the room lighting according to the available daylight.

• If there is sufficient daylight it switches the artificial lighting off after a presetdelay (10 minutes). As daylight fades the lighting system is switched backon, provided there is at least one person still present.

• If a presence is no longer detected the unit slowly turns down the lightingafter an adjustable delay (1 to 30 minutes) and then switches it off after thepreset switch-off delay (10 minutes). If someone enters the room the lightingis switched on again, provided artificial light is required, and returns to itsconstant value.

• If the lighting system is turned up or dimmed down and a new light value isnot stored the system goes into control mode. Daylight has no effect on thelight value set. After the system has been switched off and on again(manually or by the presence sensor) the unit returns to the stored controlvalue.

2. Semi-automatic operation

It is possible to change to semi-automatic operation (also called holiday modeor green mode) with an external switch (possibly concealed) or with suitablewiring at the multisensor controller.

• In semi-automatic mode the lighting system is not automatically switchedon by movement within the room. You have to use the switch. Thisarrangement ensures that luminaires that are not being used (in holidayperiods, for example) are not switched on unnecessarily.

• If the lighting system is switched off because there is ample natural daylight,it is switched on again as daylight fades and the motion sensor detectssomeone in the room.

• Turn the lighting up and dim it down by holding down the button until themaximum and minimum values are reached; pressing the switch againreverses the direction.

• Store the lighting value as a constant value by pressing the control buttontwice. If the value has been successfully stored the lamp will flash.

• Switch on or off by pushing the button briefly.

• If the lighting system is switched off while there is someone still in thedetection area it will remain switched off and can only be switched on againmanually or if someone enters the room after a certain adjustable delay.

Operation without a motion sensor

The multisensor controller can also be operated without a motion sensor andonly with a light sensor. In normal operation, the unit now switches the lightingsystem on and off according to the lighting conditions and maintains thelighting level at the stored constant value.

Mains voltage interruption (via a switch or break contact) or failure

When power returns after an interruption in the mains voltage the lightingsystem switches on again (after an adjustable delay) and returns to the storedconstant value.

Switch on luminaire Press button briefly. The luminaire only switches on if there is someone in the room.The luminaire adjusts to the last light value stored.

Switch off luminaire Press button briefly. The luminaire switches off after a short delay, irrespective of the operating condition.

More light required Hold down button until the required higher light value is reached.

Less light required Hold down button until the required lower light value is reached.

Go from more light to less Release the switch briefly and hold light or vice versa down again.

Store setpoint value Double-clicking stores the last light value.The last value stored is retained indefinitely, even if the luminaire is not connected to the power supply. The lamp will flash to indicate that the value has been successfully stored.

Switch on one or more Briefly interrupting the power supply luminaires together (switched socket, etc.) switches on all the (emergency ON) luminaires connected to this circuit. They

each adjust to the last light values stored for them.

Overview of the functions of the central switch


The light sensor has an axial detection angle of 130° and the motion sensor adetection angle of approx. 100°, which means that an area with a diameter ofaround 7 m can be covered in a room with a ceiling height of 3 m.

To increase the detection area or provide denser coverage, a number ofsensors can be connected to the multisensor controller. A mixed value(average value) from the connected sensors is then used to measure the lightvalue.

1. Multisensor controller

The casing of the multisensor controller can be installed directly in theluminaires to be controlled. It is fixed in place with two screws. The connected control gear or transformers are supplied directly from theswitching output of the multisensor controller. Its neutral conductor can berouted to the load. When installing the unit, make sure to set the desired delayfor presence detection. The unit must be installed in an enclosed casing or ina luminaire.

2. Light and motion sensor

The sensor can be installed directly in the luminaires to be controlled. It is fixed in place with two screws. If possible, the light and motion sensorsshould be installed so that they point at the people to be detected. The roombrightness should always be measured indirectly; direct light from the roomlighting or workplace lighting should be avoided. Avoid placing the sensor indrafts (near a ventilator for example) as this may cause the sensor to triggerunnecessarily.

Frequent on/off switching is not ideal for fluorescent lamps or compactfluorescent lamps. Up to now, incandescent lamps have therefore beenpreferred for applications that involve extremely frequent on/off switching,despite the high power consumption. In its standby mode, QUICKTRONIC®

DIMMABLE dims the light whenever it is not needed, eliminating unnecessaryswitching and saving energy.

What’s more, since the light is not completely switched off there is alwaysenough residual light to find your way around. Full light is available instantly,with no pre-heating delay.

Typical applications for this standby circuit include all applications withfrequent on/off switching, such as stairwells, corridors and undergroundgarages, particularly if the light is controlled with motion detectors or timeswitches.

Stairwells, underground garages, corridors

The power ON/OFF information from the motion detector is converted bysignal converter DIM SC into a 1…10 V control voltage which is then used toadjust the dimmer setting between 100% and 1%. The motion detector musthave a proper switching contact; units with Triac switches (for two-wire con-nection, for example) would still need a base load. Several motion detectorsmay be connected in parallel, according to manufacturers’ instructions.

DIM ECG


A special time switch for stairwell lighting (Siemens model 5TT 1302) is usedfor standby switching of the dimmable ECG.

At the push of a button the stairwell lighting time switch switches thedimmable ECG on (100% light). After a maximum of 10 minutes (the time canbe adjusted) the light is dimmed to a preselected level. After a total of 30minutes it is switched off entirely. This 30-minute cycle is restarted each timethe switch is operated.

Standby mode brings its greatest benefit in the evening when the stairwell ismost heavily used. The light changes only between the two settings andactual use of the light switch is rare. At night-time when the stairwell is notused for lengthy periods the remaining 13% power consumption at the lowestdimmer setting is also saved.

For technical data for automatic stairwell switches see the Siemens catalogue.

Since the switch acts on the mains voltage (L) it can be replaced by a motiondetector. Parallel connection with the switch is also possible.

Since the switch-on time is set on the stairwell lighting time switch the switch-on time on the motion detector can and should be set to minimum.

Lighting systems with daylight-dependent light control can be operated moreeffectively if the artificial light is switched off as soon as there is sufficientnatural daylight. Such a system consists of a DIM KAD-S lighting controlsystem, a light sensor and a setpoint generator.

The advantage over the other light sensors for constant lighting control is thatan external setpoint generator can be provided in an easily accessible place.

This is useful if the room has such a high ceiling that the sensors are difficultto access.

An alternative to the DIM KAD-S is the AQAD-S unit supplied by Altenburger(order directly from Altenburger or your local retailer). This unit has a setpoint generator built-in.

Offices, factories

A lighting system controlled by a DIM KAD-S unit has two possible modes ofoperation:

1. Semi-automatic with the restart inhibitor off

The setpoint generator is used to select the brightness value to be maintained(e.g. 500 lx). The artificial light moves only between “0” and the fixedmaximum value.

The constant lighting control system continuously compares the actual valuewith the setpoint value and sends the control voltage needed to adjust thebrightness of the artificial light to the ECGs after a fixed delay of around 3seconds.

The time taken to go from 100% luminous flux to the lowest dimmer settingor vice versa is 50 seconds.

If the daylight component at the reference location (light sensor) exceeds thesetpoint value the constant lighting control system switches off the artificiallight after a delay of 4 minutes either directly or (if the wattage is relativelyhigh) with a floating relay contact via contactors (or relays) that can be setseparately.

If, during these 4 minutes, the brightness level dips below the setpoint valueagain (as clouds pass over the sun, for example) this time will not start againuntil the brightness level rises back above the setpoint value.

This delay has been selected so that rapid changes in conditions at thelowest dimmer setting do not cause the system to repeatedly switch on andoff again.

The DIM KAD-S module automatically switches the lighting system on againwhen the brightness level falls below the setpoint value.

Semi-automatic control with aconstant lighting control systemand light sensor

2. Semi-automatic with the restart inhibitor on

Instead of automatic activation, you can select manual restart with the“Restart inhibitor” switch on the constant lighting control system. In this case,the lighting system is switched on with the ON/OFF switch. In all otherrespects this operating mode is the same as described in 1. above.

The advantages of constant lighting control with automatic shutdown lie notonly in the savings in residual energy at the lowest dimmer setting but also inlonger lamp life. Because the lamps are switched off, the number of hoursthat they operate each day is reduced and therefore the relamping interval isincreased.

The delays indicated on page 47 depend on the control variables in theconstant lighting control circuit, so in actual practice they may vary slightlyfrom these values according to the prevailing lighting conditions. As far asrestarting the lamps is concerned, you should be aware that this takes placeslightly below the setpoint value (built-in hysteresis). This is necessary toprevent the lighting system being permanently switched on and off around theilluminance setpoint.

The setpoint generator should be wired as shown below, using a standardpotentiometer (potentiometer circuit). This wiring diagram is better than the diagram on page 29 (particularly if theilluminance exceeds 500 lx at the light sensor).

External control with a 0 -10V analogue output (e.g. PC card) is possible. Thiscontrol module must be able to take the current supplied by the ECG to thecontrol line and reduce the control voltage to at least 1V. Refer to Section 1.1“Properties of the 1…10 V interface”.

The analogue output must meet two requirements. It must be floating. Ittherefore must not be electrically connected to exposed parts or to circuitsthat are subject to SELV requirements (test voltage 2500V; the test voltage forearthed components is 1500V).The analogue output must be able to function as a current sink since it has totake the control current of the QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE control gear. Inmost cases it will not be known whether and how much current an analogueoutput can take but an adapter circuit can always be used if need be.

The proposed procedure is as follows:

If there are 1, 2 or 3 QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE units, connect the controlterminals directly to the analogue output; if there are four or moreQUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE units you should connect a signal amplifier in thecircuit. Start the system, set the control voltage to 0 V and use a multimeterto check the reading directly at the analogue output. If the measured value isless than 1 V the system is ok and can be used.

If the control voltage is greater than 1 V, the analogue output cannot takeenough current and an additional current sink is needed in the form of aparallel resistance R. To determine the value, connect a potentiometer(approx. 5 W lin) to the analogue output at a control voltage of 0 V and use itto set a control voltage of 1 V. Disconnect the potentiometer and measure theresistance value (must be greater than 680 W), then obtain and connect theappropriate fixed resistance (design 0207, load capacity 0.25W, or possiblythe next lower resistance value).

Dimmable ECGs with a 1…10 V interface can be easily integrated ininstallations that use the instabus EIB system. The link between EIB and the dimmable lighting system is aswitching/dimming actuator. One switching/dimming actuator is needed perlighting group.

The digital bus signal is converted by the switching/dimming actuator into theanalogue 1…10 V control voltage for QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE. The ECGis switched on and off by a built-in relay contact. Parameters can be set forvarious functions, such as on, off, brighter and darker, and a defined controlvoltage can be specified.

Sensors for daylight control and so on are normally connected at the instabuslevel.

Detailed information is available from manufacturers of the instabus EIB system.

For use in existing lighting systems with leading-edge phase dimmers, signalconverter DIM SC is required for operating the dimmable ECG. DIM SCshould only be used if it is impossible to lay new cables. The betteroption is to control the system with manual control unit DIM MCU.

Signal converter DIM SC uses the phase signal of a dimmer to generate the1…10 V DC control signal needed for the dimmable ECG.

A 4-wire building wiring system (~ ,L,N,PE), as is required for example ifSiKRYPT is used for dimming, can continue to be used if a signal converter isinstalled. The ECGs must be earthed (i.e. only protection class I applications).

Upgrades

The output of the signal converter is isolated from the mains.A maximum of ten dimmable ECGs or a maximum of three DIM SA signalamplifiers can be connected at the output of the signal converter.

The signal converter forms only the signal for controlling the brightness of thedimmable ECG. For this reason, the leading-edge phase dimmer is used onlyfor controlling the brightness (light/dark) of the lighting system and not forswitching (ON/OFF). If the phase signal is disconnected the luminous flux fallsto its minimum value but the lighting system remains on.

Leading-edgephase dimmer

With leading-edge phase dimmers forfluorescent lamps, the additional switchis often integrated in the dimmer. Anadditional switch in a flush-type box is notalways necessary.

Base load

(dimmer-dependen)

DIM ECG

DIM ECG


An additional mains switch is needed for switching.

Leading-edge phase dimmers may produce harmonics in the mains voltagethat lead to noise in the ECG. If possible, dimmers and ECGs should thereforebe supplied from different mains phases.

Leading-edge phase dimmers for fluorescent lamps often have an additionalmains switch integrated in the dimmer so there is no need for another switchin a second switch box.

A leading-edge phase always needs an ohmic base load in the form of anincandescent lamp or a resistor (approx. 15 to 60 W according to the dimmermanufacturer) in order to operate properly. This means additional losses.

The base load must be installed as close to the dimmer as possible.

Depending on the quality of the leading-edge phase dimmers, the range ofthe phase angle may be limited with the result that it may not be possible tomake full use of the dimming range of the dimmable ECG.

If a common dimmer is used for brightness control for dimmable ECGs andconventional systems there is no guarantee that the lamps will operate insynchronism (uniform change in luminous flux during dimming) and theminimum and maximum luminous fluxes of the two systems may differ fromone another.

If luminaires with conventional dimmers such as SiKRYPT and luminaires withdimmable ECGs are operated on the same mains phase there is likely to benoise from the ECGs. The dimmable ECGs should therefore be connected toa different mains phase than the luminaires with conventional dimmers.

Because fluorescent lamps and compact fluorescent lamps are soeconomical they are of interest, in conjunction with dimmable ECGs, tocinema operators.

After sitting through a film in relative darkness, cinema goers often find that fluorescent lamps being switched on at 1% are too bright for their eyes(this is of course subjective).

Recommendation:

Plan a combined lighting system with fluorescent lamps (providing the mainlighting) and incandescent lamps or low-voltage halogen lamps (for the lowestlighting levels).

After the film the fluorescent lamps are not switched on (contribution offluorescent lamps at the lowest dimmer setting 20 lx for example) until theincandescent lamps have brought the illuminance in the cinema up to 100 lx.The jump in illuminance is then not as obvious (see diagram).

At the start of a film, the curve goes in the opposite direction.

The familiar temperature problems of dimmed fluorescent lamps can beeliminated by limiting the lower dimmer setting as a function of temperature.

L58W as an example:

Below 0ºC the control voltage for the L58W must be increased to at least 4 V.This corresponds to a dimmer setting of around 25%.

The stability threshold depends to a great extent on the lamp tolerances. Fortypes of control in which the lamp starts at 100% (in standby circuits forexample) the temperature limit may be lower. In the case of automatic control,therefore, it should be possible to set both the response temperature and thecontrol voltage. The following circuit is proposed:

The temperature controller may be a room thermostat for controlling theheating system. The switching temperature (0 ºC for example) must beaccurately adjustable. The switch must be a make switch. In other words, itmust be closed at high temperatures. Such components are available withbimetal contacts (e.g. 2NR9 090-1, power supply not needed) or withtemperature sensors (e.g. 2NR9 078, power supply required). Any heatingresistors for thermal feedback or night-time reduction are not connected(contrary to the wiring diagram). The only mains connection is to the powersupply, if required. Different types of protection are needed, depending on theapplication. For further information contact specialists in heating and air-conditioning.

When connected in parallel the controller with the smallest value dictates thedimmer setting.

Typical application:

Problem: Constant lighting control throughout the day, uniform façadelighting at night.

Solution: A time switch is connected in parallel with a light sensor.

b) Switching between controllers

If different control options are combined with the aim of using the one mostappropriate to the situation, it is best to install a changeover switch betweenthe controllers.

Wiring

Changeover takes place at the positive pole of the control line. The negativepoles of all the units are normally connected. This does not affect the wiring ofthe mains supply cables.

Typical application 1:Multi-functional room with a choice between constant lighting control (e g.DIM MICO) and manual control (e.g. DIM MCU).Variant: Two separately controlled lighting strips (via two DIM MICOs) are tobe operated together with a manual control unit (see detailed wiring).

Typical application 2:Lighting control in a sports hall with two different illuminances (e.g. 300 lux for training and 500 lux for competitions).Solution: Install two DIM MICOs with a changeover switch

For certain applications it is sometimes necessary to place upper or lowerlimits on the control voltage for dimmable ECGs. The reasons for this includespecial combinations of lamps and ECGs and flickering at low temperatures.

a) Upper limits

The simplest way to achieve this is to connect a Zener diode with anappropriate value in parallel. To limit the control voltage to 7 V, for example, aZener diode with a rated value of 7 V or a value close to this should be used.(Zener diodes are available from series E24. Type Bzx 55C xVx isrecommended. For xVx, for example, 7V5 = 7.5 V should be used. At least 20ECGs can be controlled with this type.)

If a number of controllers are connected in parallel, the controller with thelowest value will dictate the control voltage for the dimmable ECG.

This applies to all passive controllers (i.e. units that act as current sinks).

b) Lower limits

A lower limit can be effectively imposed by connecting two controllers inseries. The sum of the two units is then used. One unit cannot undershoot thecontrol voltage imposed by the other unit.

Important: If two controllers are connected in series (e.g. DIM MCU) thesmallest achievable control voltage is approx. 2 V (~= 4% luminous flux).

The connections should be made as shown in the diagram below.

All 1…10 V dimming components can also be used in conjunction withHALOTRONIC® electronic transformers if an HT 1…10 DIM module isconnected between the dimming components and HALOTRONIC®.

This module converts the 1…10V signal into a phase signal.

This application is mainly of interest for remote control or scene control (DIM BEAMIT; see 4.2).

For general wiring and operating instructions see the QUICKTRONIC® Guideand the chapter on electronic control gear in the Lighting Programme.

General

• We recommend that you allow new lamps to burn in for at least 50 hoursat 100% luminous flux.

• All the control lines of an ECG installation must be connected with thecorrect polarity (+/–).

• The control line is isolated from the power line but not at safety extra-lowvoltage (SELV). Cables and terminals that are approved for 230 V musttherefore be used.

• The ECG can be tested for correct operation as follows:1. Switch on the ECG with an open control line. The lamp must ignite andoperate at rated output.2. Short-circuit the control line (jumper). The lamp must operate atminimum brightness.

• The controller must be able to accept the current supplied by the ECG inthe control line (current sink) and reduce the control voltage. Thisrequirement is met by suitably dimensioned potentiometers and all OSRAMcontrol components. Normal power supply units, converter cards and soon do not necessarily have this ability. To check, connect the controller, setto lowest brightness and measure the voltage on the control line. The valueshould be 1 V or less.

Safety instructions

• The units should be installed and tested only by a qualified electrician.• Power to the units must be switched off before any work is undertaken. • The relevant safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.• UV resistant cables must be used if the units are to be operated inside

luminaires.

Please note the following when wiring luminaires with QUICKTRONIC®

DIMMABLE:

• Mains and control cables may be routed together.• Mains and control cables should not be laid together with or parallel to the

lamp cables.• Avoid crossing mains cables and lamp cable; if this is not possible, they

should cross at right angles.• It is best to use coloured cables for the sake of clarity.• Do not use shielded lamp cables.• Dimmable ECGs must be earthed.• In the case of two-lamp dimmable ECGs, the cables for connections 4, 5,

6 and 7 should be the same length (no more than 5 cm difference) toavoid different brightnesses in the two lamps.

• The dimmable ECG must always be installed near the lamp(s) so that thelamp cables can be kept short in the interests of good radio interferenceprotection. The maximum permissible cable length is 2 m. Certain lampcables carry a somewhat higher voltage against earth. To avoid radiointerference, these “hot wires” should be as short as possible. These areconnections 3 and 4 on single-lamp QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE units,and connections 1, 2 and 3 on two-lamp units.

63

Both single-core cables and multi-core cables may be used with the terminalsof QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE ECGs. For wiring T5 luminaires, please alsorefer to the notes on page 65.

a) Single-core cables

• These should have a cross-section of 0.5 mm2 at least and 1.5 mm2 atmost. The minimum cross-section for the lamp cables is 0.5 mm2.

• You can insert solid conductors with a cross-section of 0.75 mm2 to 1.5 mm2 in the terminals without operating the release tab.

• In the case of single-core cables with a cross-section of 0.5 mm2 to 0.75 mm2, you have to press down the tab before inserting the conductorin the cable.

b) Multi-core cables

• These should have a cross-section of 0.5 mm2 at least and 1 mm2 at most.

• Multi-core cables may be inserted directly into the terminals.

• Multi-core cables must not be soldered, particularly in the case of screwterminals. Solder “wanders” in the course of time and the reliability of thecontact diminishes significantly.

• Ferrules may be used but they are not essential.

• Multi-core cables can only be inserted into the terminals while the releasetab is held down.

An adapter terminal may be required in the luminaire to accommodate thedifferent conductor cross-sections.

For QUICKTRONIC® terminal block, about 8 to 10 mm of insulation should bestripped from the ends of both single-core and multi-core cables.

• Because the lamp electrodes are permanently heated and because thisleads to higher currents compared with normal QUICKTRONIC® ECGs,check that all the wires make good contact in holders and in the ECGs.The lamps must also be properly seated and make good contact in theholders. Special holders are not required.

A master/slave circuit with two-lamp dimmer units is not possible because of the capacitive leakage currents that can lead to imbalances, differentluminances and unstable operation in the dimmed state.

• If a number of dimmable ECGs are installed in a luminaire the individuallamp/ECG systems must be physically separate from one another (at least12 cm apart) to achieve optimum decoupling of the lamp circuits. Mutualinterference can lead to flickering and different brightness levels at lowdimmer settings. Luminaires with more than one dimmable ECG shouldtherefore only be wired by the luminaire manufacturer. “On-site” upgradesare not recommended.

Wiring recommendations for 3 and 4-lamp dimmable luminaires

The following diagrams show examples of correct wiring for 3 and 4-lampluminaires with tubular fluorescent lamps. Note the following:

• Mains and control cables should be laid tight to the wall of the luminaire.

• HF cables should be laid close together and in parallel near the lamp.

• The lamp axes should be at least 12 cm apart (lamps with different ECGs).

The reflector should never rest on the lamp otherwise there may be problemswith vibrations and noise.In the case of luminaires with OSRAM DULUX L lamps there should be aminimum gap of 15 mm between the lamp and the reflector. Is the gap is lessthan this the capacitive coupling between the reflector and the lamp maycause the two arms of the OSRAM DULUX L to burn at differentbrightnesses. The preheating time may also be shortened, thereby reducingthe life of the lamp.

In luminaires with T5 lamps there should be a minimum gap of 6 mm betweenthe lamp and the reflector. If the gap is smaller than this, capacitive leakagecurrents may lead to uneven brightness along the lamp.

Luminaires with two-lamp dimmable ECGs for T5 lamps

Al low dimmer settings, T5 lamps have a much higher resistance than T8lamps, which is why parasitic capacitances in the luminaire affect the dimmingof T5 lamps more so than that of T8 lamps. To avoid synchronism problemsand malfunctions at low ambient temperatures, please note the following inaddition to the notes for T8 lamps if you are using two-lamp dimmable T5ECGs:

• The lamp cables should not be longer than the lamp.

• Do not lay lamp cables in narrow metal tubes or the like. The maximumcapacitance of a lamp cable to earth is 100 pF. Do not, in anycircumstances, use shielded lamp cables.

• Lay cables 1, 2 and 3 away from cables 4, 5, 6 and 7. The maximumcapacitance of the two groups is 20 pF.

Type of cable

Since the lamp voltage of FH and FQ lamps can rise above 250 V when theyare dimmed specially insulated cables must be used (class H07 cables).Dimmable ECGs for T5 lamps therefore carry labels indicating the maximumoperating voltages (400 V between cables or 430 V to earth).

VDE-approved H07 cables (cross-section 0.5 or 0.75 mm2 ) can be obtainedfrom the following companies:

Coroplast, Fritz Müller KG, Mittener Str. 271, D-42279 Wuppertal.

Conductor cross-section 0.5 to 0.75 mm2. Rated thickness 0.7 mm.

• The wiring must be such that all signal and control cables stop carryingcurrent as soon as the mains voltage is disconnected.

• All the component of the main and control circuits must be designed for aworking voltage of 250 V with respect to earth.

• “Bell wire” must not be used for the control line as the control voltage of 1to 10 V is not safety extra-low voltage (SELV).

• Detailed information on cable selection and wiring is given in the latesteditions of the relevant guidelines for setting up electrical systems (seewiring instructions for the controllers).

According to DIN VDE 0100 Part 520, Section 528.11, main circuits andassociated auxiliary circuits may be laid together even if the auxiliary circuitscarry a lower voltage than the main circuits.

Note the following:

• The cables used must be insulated against the highest operating voltagesor each conductor of a multi-core cable must be insulated against the nextvoltage occurring in the cable (in accordance with DIN VDE 0100/11.85, T520, Section 528.11).

• If wires are laid in cabling tubes or channels only the conductors of a maincircuit and those of the associated auxiliary circuits may be laid together (inaccordance with DIN VDE 0100/11.85, T 520, Section 528.11).

• Several main circuits and their associated auxiliary circuits may becombined in a cable (in accordance with DIN VDE 0100/11.85, T 520,Section 528.11).

The length of the control cable is limited only by the drop in voltage. As ageneral rule, we can say that cable lengths of 100 m are not at all critical.

The following formula can be used to arrive at a more accurate estimate:

For example for 1.5 mm2, strip lighting, fed from one end: Lmax = 35 km/number of ECGs

= 350 m for 100 ECGs = 700 m for 50 ECGs

If DIM SA signal amplifiers are used the system can be any size at all.

QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE is suitable for emergency lighting systems toVDE 0108. The voltage range and the ignition times for the lamps in apermanent circuit (lamp already on, power supply is switched from AC to DC)and on standby (emergency luminaires are switched on from cold) are shownin the table in Section 7.1.

If QUICKTRONIC® DIMMABLE is used in emergency lighting systems suitablemeasures should be taken to interrupt the control line at the positive poleduring emergency operation. Appropriate changeover converters that areeasy to wire in are available from retailers. These converters forward apredefinable control voltage to the dimmable ECG and therefore enable thelamps to operate at less than 100% luminous flux to save the batteries.

Note that some accessory components (such as DIM SA signal amplifiers andDIM ICM 10) are not approved for battery operation. You must thereforeensure that these components are not connected to the dc source. Thesignal amplifier, for example, would constitute a fixed resistance connected tothe control line and the dimmer setting for an ECG is then 20%, sometimeshigher.

The sensor is installed above a reference surface in the room (such as a desk)so that it detects the reflected light, comprising daylight and artificial light.Direct light and reflected light from windowsills and so on should be avoidedas they may lead to control deviations. The sensor should also be placedsufficiently far away from the windows so that the window is outside thesensor’s beam angle. The mounting bracket for the DIM MICO unit must notbe placed near the lamp electrodes (risk of overheating) nor where a wirecoming loose from a terminal could come into contact with it.

Setting the illuminance

• The light sensor should be set with the aid of a lux meter with little daylight(evenings, darkened room) in a room furnished for use.

• Bring the lighting system up to 100% luminous flux by turning the casing ofthe DIM PICO or turning the potentiometer on DIM MICO or DIM MULTI.

• The luminaire should be operated for approx. 30 minutes to ensure that theluminous flux has stabilised.

• Turn the casing or potentiometer until the unit starts to dim the lamp(s).Compare the illuminance reading on the lux meter with the desiredilluminance (if you are not using a lux meter, turn back the setting slightly toensure that the luminaire does not start to dim too early).

• When making adjustments to the light sensor you should remember thatyour own body will affect the luminous flux that reaches the light sensor.You should therefore stand well away from the sensor to check the finalsetting.

The permissible ambient temperatures are shown in the table below.

Lamp type Ambient temperature

T8 lamp 0°C

T5 lamp 10°C

DULUX L 10°C with QT-FQ DIM15°C with HF…DIM

DULUX D/E,T/E 5°C

If the lamps start flickering below the allowed temperature range of the ECGsand at low dimmer settings you should raise the minimum dimmer setting (forexample by turning up the controller or placing a lower limit on the controlvoltage).

Between the undimmed and fully dimmed operating statuses of a lamp(reduction in luminous flux to 1%) the correlated colour temperature of DULUX L 36 rises by about 150 K.

The colour difference appears greater than it really is because of theenormous difference in luminance. The subjective perception of the humaneye does not reflect the objective change in colour temperature.

As soon as the lamp is switched to the lowest dimmer setting (by short-circuiting the control input with a wire jumper) there is a temporary colour shiftof up to 400K, which reduces after 30 or 40 minutes to the colour differencementioned above (stabilisation phase).

Note: Measuring the correlated colour temperature when the lamps aregreatly dimmed places high demands on the electronics and on the receiverin the colorimeter. Standard colorimeters may well give incorrect readings.

Both normal and amalgam lamps (IN lamps) can be dimmed. Amalgam lampsare somewhat slower to react however:

• It is noticeable that, unlike normal models, IN lamps go through a transient condition which lasts for about three minutes. The type oftransient condition depends on the burning position.

• Luminous flux stabilises itself in IN lamps after about 25 minutes; in normalmodels this takes about 10 minutes.

• Changes in colour temperature do not occur and serious reductions incolour temperature cannot be detected immediately after the dimmingprocess.

Question: What is the maximum permissible length of the 1…10 V controlline?

Answer: The maximum permissible length of the control line is 100 m.(Note: Owing to the low control current a fall in voltage on thecontrol line is only apparent after about 300 to 400 m)

Question: What cable cross-section should the 1…10 V control line have?Answer: The recommended cross-section is 1.5 mm2. The insulation

around the cable must be designed for mains voltage.

Question: Can control and power cables be laid together?Answer: Yes; see VDE 0100 520 Section 528.11. Note the following:

• The cables must be designed for the maximum operatingvoltage (VDE 0100/11.85, T520 Section 528.11)

• If wires are laid in cabling tubes or channels only theconductors of a main circuit and those of the associatedauxiliary circuits may be laid together.

• Several main circuits and their associated auxiliary circuitsmay be combined in a cable (VDE 0100/11.85, T520 Section528.11)

Question: Is there a simple low-cost method of controlling fixed lightinglevels?

Answer: Yes, fixed resistances (see 5.1) can be used as a simple way ofcontrolling preset lighting levels with 100% and 1% luminousflux and a number of intermediate values.

Question: Only three-core cabling is available. Can I use it to operatedimmable ECGs?

Answer: If only three wires (L, N, PE) are laid to the luminaire and nocontrol line, you can dim via the IR remote control. Connect theICM 10 module to the +/– terminal of the control input on theECG (installed in the luminaire or on the ceiling). To do this,connect the IR sensor, which is controlled via remote control FB.In small systems this arrangement can be used to makeluminaires dimmable without an existing control line.

Question: Can dimmable ECGs from OSRAM be used in emergency lightingsystems?

Answer: Yes, but installing dimmable ECGs in emergency lightingsystems involves additional costs. Components such as signalamplifiers, ICM 10 and the constant light module would bedestroyed if supplied with dc voltage so these components haveto be isolated from the power supply when changeover to dcvoltage takes place.

Question: Can two-pin compact fluorescent lamps be dimmed?Answer: No. Two-pin lamps must not be operated by electronic control

gear. Because there is a glow starter integrated in the basethere may be problems such as unreliable starting, shorter lamplife and destruction of the ECG. In dimmed mode, additionalheating of the lamp electrodes is not possible, which would lead to a drastic reduction in the life of the lamp. Basically, onlyfour-pin lamps with the label /E (such as DULUX S/E, D/E andT/E) can be operated with electronic control gear and thereforedimmed.

Question: Does operating fluorescent lamps permanently at low dimmersettings have any effect on lamp life?

Answer: Long-term operation of fluorescent lamps and ECGs fromOSRAM at any dimmer setting has no adverse effect on the lifeof the lamps.

Question: Is it possible to dim fluorescent or compact fluorescent lampsand halogen lamps together?

Answer: Fluorescent lamps or compact fluorescent lamps can bedimmed in parallel with low-voltage halogen lamps. In this case,HALOTRONIC® electronic transformers are controlled viadimmer module 1…10 DIM and the 1…10 V control line. Thesame components, such as manual control units DIM MCU,signal amplifiers, light sensors and so on, can be used.

Question: Is it possible to dim a lighting system with a master/slave circuit?Answer: No, you cannot operate a two-lamp dimmable ECG with a

master/slave circuit. The different cable lengths to the lamps canlead to synchronism problems, which in turn can lead to adifference in brightness between the lamps at low dimmersettings.

ECOS 99 is the latest version of the successful cost/benefit analysis programdeveloped by OSRAM LIGHT CONSULTING GmbH for assessing lightingsystems.

New features in ECOS 99 include the ability to compare ECG systems withone another, calculate electricity costs on the basis of standard or specialtariffs and incorporate any air-conditioning costs in the analysis.

We have retained the self-explanatory user interface, the simple process ofselecting lamps and control gear from the database running in the back-ground and the clear presentation of the results.

With ECOS ’99 you can easily check the cost of lighting systems in thecontext of specific projects.

Program features:

• Systems can be compared with one another

• Dimmable systems can be included

• Even easier to use and to enter information

• Costs can be converted to euros

• ECG systems can be compared with CCG systems (as before)

• Graphics and project data can be printed out

• Basic formulas can be viewed.

ECOS ’99 is indispensable for lighting designers, OEMs, wholesalers andinstallers. Arguments in favour of using ECGs can be backed up with propercostings.

ECOS ’99 can be launched from the Lighting Programme 1999/2000 CD-ROM or from the hard disk.
