Introduction

What is EcoSystem®?

EcoSystem lighting control systems are capable of controlling
various lighting sources through automated and manual dimming.
The automatic light controls include motion sensors and daylight
sensors, which monitor a space and appropriately adjust the light to
avoid wasted energy and improve the work environment. The
manual controls of the system include wall dimmers and handheld
remote controls, which allow personal interaction with the lighting by
the people in the space. EcoSystem can also work together with the
security, HVAC, and other building management systems to provide
the appropriate lighting for every situation.

The EcoSystem® Bus

EcoSystem ballasts can be connected to one another to create a
system of up to 64 ballasts. Any infrared (IR) receiver, sensor, or wall
control connected to a ballast can communicate with any or all
fixtures on the bus. Subsystems, called groups, are configured and
programmed using the handheld programmer.

Systems using more than one EcoSystem ballast, or ballast module,
require an EcoSystem bus power supply. This component powers
the communication bus between devices, and is capable of
supporting up to 64 ballasts or ballast modules, 32 occupant
sensors, 64 wall controls or infrared (IR) receivers, and 16 daylight
sensors.

EcoSystem® Programming

EcoSystem is programmed using the handheld EcoSystem
programmer. Using a stylus, users make onscreen selections and
transmit programming instructions via infrared, similar to a TV remote.

4 EcoSystem® Programmer

Transmitting to Control Devices with IR Receivers

Programming information is transmitted wirelessly from the
EcoSystem programmer to any sensor or control with an integrated
IR receiver. When programming, stand within 8 feet (2.4 meters) of
the sensor or control and point the top of the programmer directly at
it.

Regardless of what function is being performed, the system can be
accessed through any IR receiver. For example, it is not necessary
to point the programmer at the daylight sensor being programmed if
a keypad provides more convenient access.

Keypads and IR receivers have LEDs that blink when programming
messages are transmitted.

If the device does not receive the signal, move closer to the device
or adjust the angle of the programmer. It is also important to ensure
that the programmer battery is charged and has enough strength to
transmit the signal to the device.

NOTE: Occupant sensors do not have integrated IR receivers.

Typical Programming Workflow

Following is the typical workflow needed to program a new
EcoSystem when it is installed. This guide includes detailed
instructions for each programming step.

11 AAddddrreessss tthhee ssyysstteemm..

Begin by addressing the ballasts using the
EcoSystem programmer. This enables the programmer to
communicate with the ballasts and configure their settings.

22 CCoonnffiigguurree ffiixxttuurree ggrroouuppss..

Next, configure the group of fixtures to
be controlled by each device (IR receiver, daylight sensor, wall
control, occupant sensor, or contact closure). A group can be as
small as one fixture or as large as the entire EcoSystem bus.

33 SSeett uupp ddeevviicceess..

Once fixture groups have been configured for

each control device, set custom preferences for each device.

44 CCoonnffiigguurree bbaallllaasstt sseettttiinnggs

s..

To further fine-tune the system,

customize the high level and emergency settings for the ballasts.

55 CCoonnffiigguurree ccoonnttaacctt cclloossuurreess..

To allow EcoSystem to integrate with
third-party systems, configure contact closures on the bus supply
to specify occupancy/vacancy settings, select scenes, or
respond to peak demand.

66 PPrrooggrraamm bbaallllaassttss ttoo sseeaassoonn nneeww fflluuoorreesscceenntt llaammppss..

Program the
ballasts to operate at full intensity before dimming. New
fluorescent lamps can have impurities which can impact their
dimming performance. Follow the lamp manufacturer’s
recommendations on lamp seasoning requirements.

Refer to the following topics for detailed procedures on how to
perform each programming step.

Programming Guide 11

How an EcoSystem® Bus Prioritizes Inputs

When programming a system, it is important to understand how the
ballasts prioritize inputs:

11.. EEmmeerrggeennccyy ccoommmmaanndd ((ttyyppiiccaallllyy lliigghhttss ttoo ffuullll oonn))..

The ballast’s first
priority is to ensure that no emergency exists in the building. If an
emergency exists, all emergency fixtures are automatically set to
their emergency level and all manual lighting adjustments are
ignored. If an emergency does not exist, the ballast proceeds to
the next level of priority.

22.. PPrrooggrraammmmiinngg ccoommmmaannddss..

The second priority is to respond to a
user programming the ballast. If programming commands are
being sent, the ballast responds to the commands, but ignores
any sensor or control device input. If no programming commands
are being sent, the next priority is queued.

33.. DDaayylliigghhtt sseennssoorr

iinnppuutt..

The third priority is input from daylight
sensors. The daylight sensors are checked to set the “high level,”
or the maximum light level the ballasts can be manually set to.

44.. OOccccuuppaannccyy sseennssoorr iinnppuutt oorr ppeerrssoonnaall ccoonnttrrooll tthhrroouugghh IIRR rreemmoottee oorr
wwaallll ccoonnttrrooll..

After checking the daylight sensor, the ballast waits
for the occupant sensor to detect a person in the room or for
input from a manual control. Manual control inputs come from
users dimming the lights up or down with a wall control or IR
remote. The lights will go to the level requested by the
occupancy sensor or personal control that last changed.

12 EcoSystem® Programmer

Addressing the System

receiver group. The adjusted light level remains in effect until one of
the following occurs:

• An emergency situation occurs

• A daylight sensor lowers the fixture to compensate for natural
lighting

• The room becomes unoccupied, or

• A user manually adjusts the level again via EcoSystem
programmer, wall control, or IR tramission.

Automatic Ballast Replacement

If the bus supply recognizes that a single new ballast has been
added to the system and a single old ballast is missing from the
system, it will automatically program the new ballast with the settings
from the old ballast. This prevents the user from having to follow the
manual ballast replacement process. The automatic process works
only for single ballast replacement; the manual process must be
used if more than one ballast is being replaced at a time. This
feature is enabled by default.

inoperability diagnosed by Lutron or a Lutron approved third party as caused by normal wear and tear, abuse,
misuse, incorrect installation, neglect, accident, interference or environmental factors, such as (a) use of incorrect line
voltages, fuses or circuit breakers; (b) failure to install, maintain and operate the unit pursuant to the operating
instructions provided by Lutron and the applicable provisions of the National Electrical Code and of the Safety
Standards of Underwriter's Laboratories; (c) use of incompatible devices or accessories; (d) improper or insufficient
ventilation; (e) unauthorized repairs or adjustments; (f) vandalism; or (g) an act of God, such as fire, lightning,
flooding, tornado, earthquake, hurricane or other problems beyond Lutron's control. On-site labor costs to diagnose
issues with, and to remove, repair, replace, adjust, reinstall and/or reprogram the unit or any of its components.
Equipment and parts external to the unit, including those sold or supplied by Lutron (which may be covered by a
separate warranty).
The cost of repairing or replacing other property that is damaged when the unit does not work properly, even if the
damage was caused by the unit.

Except AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN this warranty, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF ANY TYPE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
MERCHANTABILITY. LUTRON DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE UNIT WILL OPERATE WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION OR BE ERROR FREE. NO LUTRON AGENT, EMPLOYEE OR REPRESENTATIVE HAS ANY
AUTHORITY TO BIND LUTRON TO ANY AFFIRMATION, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY CONCERNING
THE UNIT. UNLESS AN AFFIRMATION, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY MADE BY AN AGENT, EMPLOYEE
OR REPRESENTATIVE IS SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED HEREIN, OR IN STANDARD PRINTED MATERIALS
PROVIDED BY LUTRON, IT DOES NOT FORM A PART OF THE BASIS OF ANY BARGAIN BETWEEN LUTRON
AND CUSTOMER AND WILL NOT IN ANY WAY BE ENFORCEABLE BY CUSTOMER.
IN NO EVENT WILL LUTRON OR ANY OTHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
PROFITS, CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHER INFORMATION, OR PRIVACY; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; PERSONAL
INJURY; FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY, INCLUDING OF GOOD FAITH OR OF REASONABLE CARE;
NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY OR OTHER LOSS WHATSOEVER), NOR FOR ANY REPAIR
WORK UNDERTAKEN WITHOUT LUTRON'S WRITTEN CONSENT arising out of or in any way related to the
installation, deinstallation, use of or inability to use THE unit or otherwise under or in connection with any
provision of this warranty, or any agreement incorporating this warranty, even in the event of the fault, tort
(including negligence), strict liability, breach of contract or breach of warranty of Lutron or any supplier, and
even if Lutron or any OTHER PARTY was advised of the possibility of such damages.
Notwithstanding any damages that Customer might incur for any reason whatsoever (including, without
limitation, all direct damages and all damages LISTED above), the entire liability of Lutron and of all OTHER
PARTIES under this Warranty ON ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THE MANUFACTURE, SALE, INSTALLATION, DELIVERY, USE, REPAIR, OR REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT, or
any Agreement incorporating this Warranty, and Customer's SOLE remedy for the foregoing, will be limited to
the amount paid to Lutron by Customer for the unit. The foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers
will apply to the maximum extent ALLOWed by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose.
TO MAKE A WARRANTY CLAIM

To make a warranty claim, promptly notify Lutron within the warranty period described above by calling the Lutron
Technical Support Center at [phone]. Lutron, in its sole discretion, will determine what action, if any, is
