Product Descripton

EcoSystem digitally addressable ballasts emply 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.

• Continous, flicker-free dimming from 100% to 10%
• EcoSystem digital link allows for re-zoning without rewiring, and can be wire 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 infrared receivers
• The PowPak dimming module with EcoSystem supports 32 EcoSystem ballasts or drivers, 9 Pico wireless controls, 6 occupancy/vacancy snesors 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 sesor and wallstation wiring is Class 2
• Communicates with wire or wireless sensor and controls via local wired sesor connections or compatible device
• Line-voltage miswire protection of EcoSystem link
• Slip-profile design
• Ballasts maintain consistent light output for different lamp lengths, esuring 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 (TH): less than 10% (select models are less than 15%)
• Power factor greater than 0.95
• Ballst factor equal to 0.85 for T8 lamps
• Ballast factor equal to 1.0 for T5 and T5 HO lamps
• 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 lampt starting temperature 10 degrees C
• Maximum ballast case temperature 75 degrees C

Mounting

• Ballast mounts using two screws (or sheet metal feature and one screw) with 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 (0.5 to 1.5mm) solid copper or tinned stranded wire

Wiring

• EcoSystem digital link: EcoSystem ballasts require four wires plus Ground (E1, E2, Constant Hot and Neutral); one 16-18 AWG solid copper Class 1 wire per terminal
• 3-Wire: EcoSystem ballasts require three wires plus Ground (Dimmed Hot, Switched Hot and Neutral); one 16-18 solid copper Class 1 wire per terminal
• The 16 AWG control wire must not exceed 900 ft and the 18 AWG must not exceed 550ft; maximum ballast-to-lamp-socket lead length is 7 ft (2 m) for T8, T5 and t5 HO linear lamps, and 3ft (1 m) for T5 twin-tube lamps
• Ballast is grounded via case

About Lutron

Lutron invented the world's first electronic dimming ballast more than 30 years ago, and continues to lead the industry with innovative and energy-saving flouresent dimming options. The company offers an extensive selection of ballasts, drivers and controls, providing complete fluorescent and LED dimming solutions.

Lutron light control products range from individual dimmers to total light management systems that control entire building complexes. Some of the larger Lutron light control systems in the US include the 52-story New York Times Building in New York; Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia; and the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.

On the commercial side, light controls are essential in hotels, restaurants, retail stores, conference facilities, educational facilities, hospitals, museums, and public spaces. Lutron light control systems beautify some of the world?s most prestigious public locations: the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; and the Bank of China headquarters in Beijing, to name just a few.

As world-renowned as they are, Lutron light controls continue to perform the most valuable of personal services ? helping to keep people safe and comfortable in their own homes.

On the residential side, light controls are installed everywhere from single-room apartments to palatial homes, including the White House and Windsor Castle.

Individual dimmers create a cozy atmosphere at the touch of a button, or can be operated from the car to turn lights on as you approach the house. Groups of dimmers can be operated remotely from a cell phone, PDA, laptop, iPod, touch screen, or universal remote control.
