1 Safety

1.1 Definition of symbols

Stop (Stop Danger). This symbol warns of serious danger of severe injury to
persons. It must be strictly observed.

Attention (Warning). This symbol indicates information the non-observance of
which can lead to extensive damage to property. The safety warning must be
strictly observed.

Information. This symbol indicates key information on use. Non-observance can
lead to failure.

1.2 Safety advice

The ELC must be installed and connected in compliance with existing regulations
and practices. This is e.g. EN 60204-1 in Europe.

Repairs on the ELC may only be carried out by the manufacturer.

The installation and starting up may only be carried out by skilled electricians.

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
chapter 6) after it has been switched off.

ELC X-Series-V1.3-09.16-GB subject to technical alterations

1 Safety page 2

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.

1.3 Correct operation

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.

1.4 Extended use

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

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 PROFIBUS-interface.

• The ELC monitors the insulation resistance of the lamp output wiring (earth fault control).

• The potential of both lamp outputs is isolated 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

3.1 Mounting of casing

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. 2.
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

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.

3.1.1 Mounting of single ELC

The side surfaces of the housing contain 2 T-slots each, which are suitable for sliding blocks
6mm groove, M5 by Bosch Rexroth (available as accessories). Fig. 1 indicates the relative
interspace of the two T-slots and distance to the outer face of the housing. Fig. 2 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.

3.1.2 Mounting in a stack

Up to 12 ELC may be mounted on top of each other. To fasten the ballasts onto each other a
custom-built connector has to be used (available as accessories):

Fig. 5 shows the electrical wiring. Please consider the following aspects:

Voltage balancing: on installing several ELCs the ballasts have to be equally distributed on
all phases (e.g. 1st ballast L1/L2, 2nd ballast L2/L3, 3rd ballast L3/L1 etc.).

Protective conductors: it is strongly recommended to connect both PE-lines to X100. If the
plug is accidentally tilted and not completely locked at least one PE cable will have contact.
Furthermore the required cross-section of 10mm² or more has to be realized with two PE lines
because of the plug type.

Cut-Out and loop impedance: The installation of an automatic cut-out is required for line
protection. It is necessary to check the loop impedance afterwards.

Using an RCD: if an RCD is required we recommend an RCD type B. When using a RCD
consider the leakage current given in chapter 6.

Shielding:

The lamp feeder cable shielding must be connected to the ELC at the designated
shield clamp, see chapter 3.2.9.

If desired, the shielding can also be connected to the lamp unit.

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 PROFIBUS. 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. 13 on page 21 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 PROFIBUS-input-data (see below and paragraph 5.3: 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.

ELC X-Series-V1.3-09.16-GB subject to technical alterations

3 Installation page 23

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 PROFIBUS-input-data (see below and
paragraph 5.3: 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. 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.

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

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

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].

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.

4.6 Switching off the lamp

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

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.

5.1 Mains voltage monitoring

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

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.

5.2 Earth fault control

Supplementary to the safety functions of paragraph 3.3 which prevent danger to the operator,
the earth fault control of the ELC lamp circuit represents another monitoring function.

An earth fault occurs when the insulation resistance

Bit 0: The {Lamp Voltage Low}-bit is set if the actual 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
PROFIBUS 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.

Undervoltage

Bit 0: {DC-Link-Undervoltage} is set, if the (internal) DC-Link-Voltage is too low.

Possible reasons are low mains voltage, blown internal fuses or other defective
parts inside the ELC.

Bit 1: An error of the mains is recorded in the {Mains Voltage Low}-bit if the mains

voltage falls below the allowed minimum (see chapter 6) during lamp operation.

Bit 2: {Fan Error} indicates an error of the fans (speed monitoring). Possible reasons

are a blocked rotor or squeezed cables.

Bit 3: The {ELC Temperature High} bit is set as soon as the acceptable temperature

is exceeded.

Bit 4: {Internal} stands for problems of internal communication between controllers

or failed self check of controllers.

Bit 5: If the PROFIBUS connection is interrupted during lamp operation the {Bus

Connection Error} bit is set. The bus status is also shown on the display.

5 Monitoring, warning, error, repair page 40

Bit 6: The detection of a short peak {Overvoltage} on the lamp output might be due

to an internal problem of the ELC or damaged cables on lamp circuitry.

Bit 7: If the actual voltage of the lamp is too high the {Lamp Voltage High} bit is set.

Usually the lamp type is not correct.

Bit 8: {Overcurrent} indicates an internal overcurrent.

Bit 9: {Measurement} appears in case of problems with the internal measurement

circuits.

Bit 10: The {Earth Leakage Fault}- is set if a leakage current to ground on R

error

(see

paragraph 5.2) is detected.

Bit 11: {ZVS} gives notice if the power switches are not working in zero voltage

switching mode. Higher switching losses might shorten the ELC lifetime.

Bit 12: {Supply} indicates problems of internal low voltage supply. Apart from internal

damage this might happen with low mains voltage.

Bit 13: If the lamp extinguishes during lamp operation, the {Lamp Power Low} bit is

set.

Bit 14: {Slave} is set if an error in the slave ballast is detected.

Bit 15: {CanIntern} shows an error of the internal Can-connection.

5.4.3 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
PROFIBUS 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“.
