The EcoSystem solution is designed to fulfill the needs of light
control in the 21st century. Specifically, EcoSystem revolutionizes
energy savings, flexibility, and maintenance in a way that changes
the workplace.
Designed for open office spaces and K-12/university classrooms,
EcoSystem easily integrates environment sensors, such as daylight
and occupancy sensors, with personal controls, such as wallstations
and infrared remotes. With up to 50% of energy use in offices
(60% of energy use in schools) going to lighting, the combined
effect of multiple environment sensors and personal controls
operating together brings unparalleled energy savings to spaces
that previously had none.
Beyond the energy savings, EcoSystem creates a more flexible
workspace. Composed of digital ballasts that have individual
addresses and communicate via control wires, EcoSystem ballasts
can be programmed, instead of wired, to work individually or as
a group. This eliminates the need for an area to be rewired when
changes take place, creating flexibility in a space that adjusts
to the shifting needs of a company.
Finally, EcoSystem reduces lighting system maintenance.
All of the environment sensors and personal controls connect
directly to any ballast, removing interfaces, power packs, and
control devices that on other systems require more parts,
programming and maintenance.

Here are the 4 steps to designing an EcoSystem:
Step Ballast Selection
A Determine number of fixtures that will be connected to EcoSystem.
Note: Do not consider control zones, since they will be programmed rather than wired.
B Classify the type of ballast in each fixture.
Note: Use a Ballast Module Fixture-mounted (BMF) in conjunction with a ballast for dimming
down to 1% or for lamp types where EcoSystem is not yet available. A BMF connected
to any Eco-10
™
or Hi-lume®ballast gives full EcoSystem functionality to that ballast.
Step Sensor/Receiver Selection
Determine what sensors should be connected to EcoSystem.
Note: EcoSystem ballasts are compatible only with EcoSystem daylight sensors.

is high and brighten the lights when the available daylight
is low in order to maintain a specific light level in the space
•
Integrated IR receiver for EcoSystem programming
•
1 daylight sensor can control multiple fixtures or groups
of fixtures differently
•
Up to 8 daylight sensors can exist on a single EcoSystem bus
•
Total wire length to ballast (or BMF) must not
exceed 100' (30m)
•
Designed for Class 2 operation only
•
Operating voltage: Low-voltage Class 2, 20VDC
•
Analog signal: 0 – 20VDC
•

Step Sensor Selection
Daylighting
Design Statement: Use 1 daylight sensor for each zone of fenestration.*
If the zone extends more than 30' (9.14m), include a daylight sensor for
every 30' (9.14m) segment. Wiring a daylight sensor to one ballast allows
control of multiple ballasts on a bus.

Wiring the Daylight Sensor
•
Wire color designations of the daylight sensor:
Red = 20VDC
Black = Common
White = IR Signal
Yellow = Daylight Sensor Signal
•
Make sure that the supply breaker
to the digital ballast is OFF when wiring
•
Connect the four conductors to the
four digital ballast terminals as shown
Note: The digital ballast accepts only
one IR input. Use of the IR input
for the daylight sensor precludes
the use of an infrared receiver
with the same digital ballast.

Mounting the Daylight Sensor
Determine the proper location of the daylight
sensor using the adjacent diagrams.
•
The arrow on the daylight sensor points
toward the area viewed by the sensor
•
Place the daylight sensor so its viewing area
is centered upon the nearest window at a
distance of between 1-2 H from the window
•
The effective window height, H, starts
3' (0.91m) up from the floor or at the window
sill, whichever is higher, and ends at the top
of the window
•
Ensure that the view of the daylight sensor
is not obstructed
•
Do not position the daylight sensor in the well
of a skylight or above indirect lighting fixtures
