1.1 Definition of symbols

1 Safety page 2

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

The ELC causes a leakage current given in chapter 6.
Safeguarding by means of leakage current protection type A and type AC
according to IEC 60755 is not permitted!
The ELC operates in principle as a frequency converter and is equipped with a
mains filter whose leakage current could trip the earth leakage detector RCD.

Contact to the grounding connector must always be ensured.

Additional measures must be taken to ensure that there is no danger when
touching the appliance. This could be by means of a universal leakage current
protection type B, taking into consideration the increased response threshold, or
by means of an independent equipotential connection.

The leakage current through the interference suppression capacitors demands
as per EN 50178 the use of a second protective earth conductor in parallel to the
first one. The cross-section of each earth conductor corresponds at least to the
cross-section of an outer conductor.

The ELC is conceived as an electronic ballast exclusively for the operation of
lamps approved for this ELC type.

Any other use is deemed as misuse. The manufacturer will not assume liability
for damage resulting from misuse.

A pre-requisite for authorised operation of the ELC is the observance of both the
operating and maintenance instructions and the safety advice.

Extended use beyond the operating specifications as stated is not permitted.

The manufacturer will not assume liability if the equipment is used in any other
way. The operator acts at his own risk.

Any operation beyond the scope of the authorised operation is considered to be
misuse.

2 Description of functions page 3

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

2 Description of functions

The electronic ballast ELC is designed to operate medium pressure discharge lamps as
described in chapter 6.

In contrast to conventional ballasts (inductive lamp ballast or transformer or transformer with
transductor), with an ELC the lamp is operated with high frequency (approx. 100 kHz). The
lamp does not flicker and dimming is infinitely adjustable within a wide power range (see
chapter 6).

Dimming

The possibility of dimming the lamp has two advantages. Firstly the lamp can be switched to
minimum load (standby operation) during longer idle times and energy can thus be saved.
Secondly the optimum lamp power can be determined and adjusted as appropriate.

Power control

The ELC offers a high level of lamp power constancy due to its integrated power control.
Variations in operating voltage of 400-480V  10 % do not affect lamp power. Between 310­360V a reduction of output power according to chapter 6 has to be taken into account.

Ignition device

When the lamp is switched on the ELC initiates trigger pulses to fire the lamp; a separate
ignition device is not required.

Other performance characteristics

 High level of electrical efficiency.
 Low harmonic distortion of the mains current due to integrated power factor corrector.
 Configuration, control and monitoring of the ELC is carried out via BUS-interface.
 The ELC monitors the insulation resistance of the lamp output wiring (earth fault control).
 The potential of both lamp outputs is insulated from that of the supply voltage.
 The ELC is both short-circuit proof and safe in open circuit operation at the lamp output.

3 Installation page 4

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

The ELC may only be installed as described in 3.1.1 and in 3.1.2, allowing for at
least the minimum spacing as shown in Fig. 3.
Horizontal mounting upside down is not allowed. All vertical mounting
orientations are possible.

The ELC should not be mounted in the immediate proximity of sensitive electronic
equipment. An appropriate distance must be maintained to scatter field
transformers or other inductors.

The ELC is equipped with built-in fans to ensure forced air cooling. Air ducts and
optional filters must be designed to allow the air flow described in chapter 6. The
ambient temperature must not exceed the values described in chapter 6. The
ambient temperature is measured by the ELC and will be stored within the
internal error memory.

3.1 Mounting of casing

3.1.1 Mounting of single ELC

The side surfaces of the housing contain 2 T-slots each. Fig. 1 indicates the relative interspace
of the two T-slots and distance to the outer face of the housing. The T-slots are suitable for
sliding blocks 6mm groove, M5 by Bosch Rexroth, as well as for sliding profiles (see Fig. 2) ,
the latter applicable for X6 and higher power, both available as accessories. Fig. 3 shows the
horizontal mounting orientation including the minimum spacing at the back of the ELC.
Alternatively the ELC may be mounted flush with the rear panel if a cut out for the ventilation
is ensured.

3.3 Comments on the safety functions of the ELC

In addition to the safety functions included in all previous ELC-types such as earth fault
detection, temperature limit, safe operation in both short-circuit and open circuit at the lamp
output, the ELC X-Series includes an additional function in the form of the definite lamp
shutdown. To date this function was assured by external components, e.g. a power contactor
cutting off the mains supply voltage of the ELC.

The definite lamp shutdown is implemented using two independent circuits which can be
regarded as redundant functions in terms of the safety assessment of the installation. The first
lamp shutdown function contains a safety relay which cuts the voltage-output of the ELC via
hardware. This safety function can be monitored by appropriate processing of the feedback
contacts „Safety NC1 + Safety NC2“.

A second safety shutdown may be realized with the input „Init Signal IN“. Here the cut off of
the output voltage is based on software.

The status of both safety circuits may be read out by BUS. However they can not be deactivated

via software. It is therefore necessary to apply 24V to both inputs „Safety Relay IN“ and „Init
Signal IN“. If the safety fuctions are not used it is possible to set wire jumpers between
„24V_Out“ (X806.5) and „Safety Relay IN“ (X806.2) and „Init Signal IN“ (X806.3).

Fig. 16 on page 24 shows an overview of the circuits.

3.3.1 Safety relay

To set the ELC ready for operation, the safety relay K1 has to be activated by applying +24V to
pin X806.2.

As long as the safety relay is not activated, lamp operation is not possible! There are two
feedback paths:

 a normally closed relay contact. It may be tapped on pins X805.2 and X805.3.
 the [Warning Register] of the BUS-input-data (see below and paragraph 5.2: Bit 4

{Safety Relay Open})

If the safety relay is deactivated during lamp operation, lamp operation will be shut down. After
reactivating the safety relay, the lamp has to be restarted.

3.3.2 Initialisation signal

Furthermore lamp operation will not be allowed unless +24V are applied to pin X806.3. This is
an additional monitoring function for the safe operation of the installation. The status of pin
X806.3 is visualized in the [Warning Register] of the BUS-input-data (see below and paragraph

5.2: Bit 7 {Init Signal Ok}).

If the initialisation signal is deactivated during lamp operation, lamp operation will be shut
down. After re-applying the initialisation signal, the lamp has to be restarted.

3.4 Configuration

Communication between ELC and installation control is carried out via PROFIBUS DPV0 or
MODBUS RTU. The ELC represents a non-modular DPV0-Slave, the installation control
functions as the Master.

For configuration, control and monitoring of the ELC 16 input registers (Master receiving data
from ELC) were implemented, as well as 6 output registers (Master sending data to ELC). For
registers overlapping more than one byte, the byte order was determined according to ”Big­Endian“.

The ELC software is capable of supporting a baud rate according to chapter 6.

The necessary adjustments during the installing of the ELC will be explained in this paragraph,
the adjustments for lamp operation will follow in chapter 4.

The following registers are available:

BUS-Register:
BUS-input-data (ELC → Master)

BUS-output-data (Master → ELC)

MODBUS-Register:
FIELDBUS-input-data (ELC → Master)

Additional communication parameters for MODBUS:

The supported function codes are “Write Single Register” (0x06), “Write Multiple Register”
(0x10) and “Read Holding Register” (0x03). The Input and Output data will start at address

100hex. The addresses 100hex to 102hex differentiate between read or write access, so one
address accesses different registers. Example address 100hex:

Fig. 17: Unequal register access in read and write mode

Attached two trace examples of a transmission (Trace is all HEX):

 Read registers of all input registers

Control to X6 --> "0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x08, 0x45, 0xc3"
X6 to Control --> "0x02, 0x03, 0x10, 0x22, 0x04, 0x24, 0x00,0x17, 0xA2, 0x00, 0x08,
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x42, 0xCD"

Note: Since the serial number is always different, the response will always look
slightly different.

 Read registers of the ballasts nominal Power

Control to X6 --> "0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x02, 0x00, 0x01, 0x24, 0x05"
X6 to Control --> "0x02, 0x03, 0x02, 0x17, 0xa2, 0x72, 0x0d"

Response will be 0x17A2 which is 6050, that is 6050W, the nominal power of a X6.

To keep the lamp running a register has to be successfully accessed (regardless read or write)
at least once within the bus timeout time (see chapter 6).

A total cycle time for the register transfers of 12 ballasts at 19200bit/s will be approximately
450ms. Our devices normally respond after 3.5 byte times, the bus idle time. If the ballast fails,
no disturbance to the MODBUS will occur.

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

Special procedure necessary for initial operation after long-time storage!

If the ELC was in storage or not connected to mains voltage longer than the
maximum storage period given in chapter 6 elevated leakage currents may arise
on the electrolytic capacitors which could damage the ELC in the worst case.

Preventive measure:

Reform the electrolytic capacitors with limited current (max. 30mA) before initial
operation. Slowly increase mains voltage with a DC-power supply or variable
transformer e.g.

4 Operation of the ELC

4.1 Initial operation

 The operative parameters of the ELC, such as the scope of the trigger pulse when switching

on the lamp, are set by the manufacturer.

 You must always ensure that the correct lamp type is used (see chapter 6) and that all

wiring is properly connected!

4.2 Switching on the ELC

 The ELC is switched on by applying the operating mains voltage and the 24V supply.

4.3 Activating the safety circuits

 Activate the safety relay
 Apply the initialisation signal

 Before starting the lamp it is necessary to write the desired lamp power into the register

[Power Set Value] in Watts. To transfer the lamp and its surrounding into a thermally
stable condition, it is recommended to choose the maximum lamp power for [Power Set
Value] during the lamp run-up period.

 To ignite the lamp set the {Start Lamp}-Bit in register [Lamp Control] to 1.
 {n/a}: not available. These bits are reserved for future applications.

During warm-up the lamp power stays at a very low level over a longer period of time and after
approximately 60 seconds rapidly increases to its nominal power. The lamp is operated with
increased current until the nominal power is reached.

The actual condition of the lamp may be read out via the display (only actual power and power
set value), and also from register [Lamp Status] of the BUS-input-data.

Bits in use in register [Lamp Status]:

 Bit 2 {Lamp Ignition}: during the ignition phase of the lamp the ”ignition“ bit is set (value =

1, otherwise 0).

 Bit 1 {Run Up}: during warm-up of the lamp the “run-up“-bit is set (value = 1, otherwise 0).
 Bit 0 {Lamp On}: as soon as the lamp has reached the required power and lamp voltage is

in a steady state, the ”lamp-on“-bit will be set (value = 1, otherwise 0).

Further operation data of the continuous operation state may be read out from the registers
[Actual Power], [Actual Voltage] and [Actual Current]:

 [Actual Power] returns the actual power in Watts.
 [Actual Voltage] gives account of the actual lamp voltage in Volts.
 [Actual Current] contains the actual current in Ampère*10 with an accuracy of 100 mA

(e.g.: [Actual Current] = 12 means 1.2 A).

4 Operation of the ELC page 39

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

A set value of less than the minimum dimming range will automatically be
increased by the ELC to the minimum dimming range.

The warm-up time from standby operation to nominal operation depends on the
lamp's ambient conditions. If cooling is too intensive during dimming operation,
the acceleration time is prolonged.

In order to avoid heat accumulation in the ELC the 24V supply should be left on for
a few minutes. Before restarting, the lamp must be sufficiently cooled down as it
cannot be fired otherwise.



4.5 Dimming operation

After having reached nominal operation the desired lamp power can be infinitely adjusted
within the dimming range given in chapter 6.

 Enter the desired power in Watts in register [Power Set Value].

4.6 Switching off the lamp

 The lamp is switched off by setting the {Start Lamp}-bit to 0 in register [Lamp Control].

5 Monitoring, warning, error, repair page 40

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

In case of continuous input undervoltage the lamp power is reduced by the ELC in
order to prevent an overcurrent on the input side (see output power reduction in
chapter 6).

In case of mains voltage dropouts the ELC may stop lamp operation to prevent
damage of the inverter caused by undefined supply conditions.

5 Monitoring, warning, error, repair

5.1 Mains voltage monitoring

The mains voltage (L1, L2 of connector X100) is monitored during lamp operation.

5.2 Warning messages

The bits in the [Warning Register] are divided into two groups:

 Group1-Nibble: the bits 0-3 represent critical operating conditions of the lamp. However

they won’t shut down the lamp.

 Group2-Nibble: If a bit in the Group2-nibble (bits 4-7) is set, the lamp cannot be started

or will be shut down during operation.

The bits of the [Warning Register] will automatically be reset as soon as the triggering status
has been resolved.

5 Monitoring, warning, error, repair page 41

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

Bit 0: The {Lamp Voltage Low}-bit is set if the lamp voltage is lower than the

threshold voltage given in chapter 6. A possible reason is a strong lamp
cooling especially in dimming operation. This could cause a long run up time
to regain the nominal power.
Please consider that the ELC cannot distinguish lamps of different nominal
voltages. If the ELC is used on purpose to operate a lamp with a lower nominal
voltage the bit will be set although full lamp voltage is reached.
This bit will be reset if the lamp voltage exceeds the threshold voltage.

Bit 1: During run-up the lamp power normally increases to the desired lamp power

(Register [Power Set Value]). The {Run Up Long}-bit is set, if 95% of the
required lamp power are not reached within 3 min. Possible reasons are an
incorrect lamp type or excessive cooling of the lamp.
Reset occurs as soon as the {Start Lamp}-bit in register [Lamp Control] is
set to 0 (the lamp being thus actively shut down by the operator via the BUS
output data).

Bit 4: The {Safety Relay Open} bit is set if the safety relay is not closed (e.g. on

emergency shutdown). There are two different cases:

 If in register [Lamp Control] {Start Lamp} bit is 0, the {Safety Relay Open}

bit is automatically reset as soon as the safety relay is closed.

 During lamp operation ({Start Lamp}=1 in [Lamp Control]) the {Safety

Relay Open} bit remains set and the lamp will be shut down by the ELC. In
this case {Safety Relay Open} will only be reset if {Start Lamp} in [Lamp
Control] is reset and the safety relay has been closed.

Bit 5: If the ELC cannot ignite the lamp the {Lamp Ignition Failed} bit will be set and

remains in this status as long as {Start Lamp}=1 in [Lamp Control]. The {Lamp
Ignition Failed} bit is reset as soon as {Start Lamp} in [Lamp Control] is reset.

Bit 7: The {Init Signal Ok} bit reflects the status of the Init-Signal-Pin X806.3 of the

initialisation signal (see paragraph 3.3.2).

 {Init Signal Ok}=1 means 24 V on X806.3, the lamp may be ignited and

operated normally.

 {Init Signal Ok}=0 means 0 V on X806.3, the lamp cannot be operated.

To render the ELC operational again in case {Init Signal Ok}=0 the
initialisation signal on X806.3 has to be 24V and the start signal {Start Lamp}
has to be reset.

Bit 2, Bit 3 und Bit 6: {n/a} bits (not available) are reserved for future applications.

5.3.3 Earthfault indication via Special Function Register in MODBUS control

With the [Special Function] register the UV Ready relay (X805.10 and X805.11, also see
paragraph 3.2.13) can be changed to function as an earthfault indicator. When setting the
{Earthfault UV Ready} bit to “1”, the UV Ready relay functions as an opener in case of an
earthfault. This bit can be written once and will stay remanent until the 24V is switched of, or
it is reset by software via Modbus.

If the ELC detects an earthfault and the {Earthfault UV Ready} bit is set, the UV Ready relay
will open its contact, regardless if the lamp is running or switched of. To close the relay again,

the error must be reset by writing a “1” to the {Clear Error} bit in register [Lamp Control].

Do not open the ELC before it is disconnected from the mains. BEWARE OF
RESIDUAL VOLTAGE! The unit may still be live up to several minutes (see label in
the ballast) after it has been switched off.

Beware of possible damage to the boards due to electrostatic discharge. Handle
the boards possibly in an electrostatic protected area or with appropriate
precautions. The technician should be earthed (e.g. use of an ESD-Service Kit with
earthed mat and wristband).

Beware the weight of the exchange units. Carry the board at the front and at the
back in the section of the cooler. Lateral carrying bends the board and can
predamage components.

5.3.4 Resetting the error register

Each error has to be acknowledged by setting the {Clear Error} bit in register [Lamp Control]
to “1”. First of all set the {Start Lamp} bit in register [Lamp Control] to 0. Then only the
transgression of the {Clear Error} bit from “0” to “1” can reset the [Error Register]. After the
BUS has transmitted the [Lamp Control] Register (check e.g. via the [Error Register]: if error
eliminated all error bits are „0“ again) and after an ELC internal synchronisation time of
additional 15 ms, the {Clear Error}-bit has to be reset to „0“.

5.3.5 Exchanging the main board

In general we recommend to exchange the whole ballast if an error persists and lamp
operation is no longer possible. If the way of installation renders removal of the housing
difficult or impossible the main board (including cooler and control boards) may be exchanged
solely.

5 Monitoring, warning, error, repair page 47

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

Procedure:

 Disconnect the ELC from the mains. Verify whether the ELC is de-energised and secured

from unintentional restart.

 Remove front hood.
 Disconnect all incoming cable plugs (see chapter 3.2) from the board.
 To safe time the cable gasket with attached cables may be reused on the new ballast. Only

loosen the marked screws of the following picture and pull out the cable gasket along the
slotted holes.

 Respect the discharge time of residual voltage according to the label above the mains

connector in the ballast.

 Remove the screws marked in the picture:

Attention with ELC X16-36: At first pull out the board for less than 10cm.
Carefully pull the marked connectors through the slot:

Then extract the whole board.

Non-observance can lead to damage to the cables in the form of cable
breaks.

 Pull out main board with respect to the following rules:

 Check position of the plastic guide bars before installing the new board. Pull out the

lower guide bars for approx. 5cm to insert the board more easily.

 Fix cable gasket to the new ballast.
