Fluorescent Dimming Ballasts

Hi-lume® 3D OverviewHi-lume® 3D architectural electronic dimming ballasts are designed to meet the most demanding lighting requirements. By providing industry leading performance with a full-range of 100% to less than 1% fluorescent dimming, Hi-lume® 3D ballasts enable you to provide the ideal visual environment for any application.

Features• Continuous, flicker-free dimming from 100% to 0.7%

for T8, 1% for T5 and T5HO, and 5% for T5 twin-tube.• 100% compatible with all Lutron® 3-wire fluorescent

controls and EcoSystem® digital controls for consistent fixture-to-fixture dimming performance.

• Compatible with Energi Savr NodeTM with EcoSystem® devices, GRAFIK Eye® QS control unit, PowPak® dimming module with EcoSystem® connection, and Quantum® software, allowing for integration into an existing or planned EcoSystem® lighting control solution.

• Programmed rapid-start design preheats lamp cathodes before applying full arc voltage to ensure full-rated lamp life while dimming and cycling.

• Lamps turn on to any dimmed level without going to full brightness.

• Low harmonic distortion throughout the entire dimming range maintains power quality.

• Frequency of operation ensures that ballast does not interfere with infrared devices operating between 38 kHz and 42 kHz.

• Inrush current limiting circuitry eliminates circuit breaker tripping, switch arcing, and relay failure.

• Ballasts maintain consistent light output for different lamp lengths, ensuring fixture-to-fixture uniformity.

• Ultra-quiet operation.• Ballast protected from miswires of any input power to

control lead, or from lamp leads to each other and/or ground.

Hi-lume® 3D Wiring DiagramsEcoSystem® Digital Link Overview

• The EcoSystem® Digital Link wiring (E1 and E2) connects digital ballasts and drivers together to form a lighting control system.

• Sensors do not directly connect to Hi-lume® 3D ballasts.

• E1 and E2 (EcoSystem® digital link wires) are polarity-insensitive and can be wired in any topology.

• An Energi Savr NodeTM with EcoSystem® unit, GRAFIK Eye® QS control unit with EcoSystem®, or Quantum® dimming module with EcoSystem® provides power for the EcoSystem® digital link which supports up to 64 digital ballasts or LED drivers, 64 occupant sensors, 16 daylight sensors, and 64 wall stations or IR receivers.

• PowPak® dimming module with EcoSystem® provides power for the EcoSystem® digital link which supports up to 32 digital ballasts or LED drivers, 6 occupant sensors, 1 daylight sensor, and 9 Pico® wireless controllers.

• All EcoSystem® Digital Link programming is completed by using the Energi Savr App for an Apple iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone mobile digital device; GRAFIK Eye® QS with EcoSystem®; PowPak® dimming module with EcoSystem® or Quantum® System.

• For complete information, see EcoSystem® Design and Application Guide (P/N 3671533).

• For emergency wiring, please see Lutron® App Note #106.

EcoSystem® Digital Link Wiring• Ballast EcoSystem® Digital Link terminals accept one

18 to 16 AWG (0.75 to 1.5 mm2) solid copper wire per terminal.

• Make sure that the supply breaker to the Digital Ballast and EcoSystem® Digital Link Supply is OFF when wiring.

• Connect the two conductors to the two Digital Ballast terminals E1 and E2 as shown.

• Using two different colors for E1 and E2 will reduce confusion when wiring several ballasts together.

• The EcoSystem® Digital Link may be wired Class 1 or IEC PELV/NEC® Class 2. Consult applicable electrical codes for proper wiring practices.

Notes• The EcoSystem® Digital Link Supply does not have to

be located at the end of the Digital Link.• EcoSystem® Digital Link length is limited by the wire

gauge used for E1 and E2 as follows:

Wire Gauge Maximum Digital Link Length12 AWG 2200 ft14 AWG 1400 ft16 AWG 900 ft18 AWG 550 ft

Wire Size Maximum Digital Link Length4.0 mm2 825 m2.5 mm2 515 m1.5 mm2 310 m1.0 mm2 205 m0.75 mm2 155 m

Attention Electricians and ContractorsBallast/Socket LeadsLead lengths from ballast to socket must not exceed 7 ft (2 m) for T8, T5, and T5HO linear lamps.

Lamp SocketsLutron requires and NEMA® recommends sockets complying with IEC 60400. Inspect sockets for marks to ensure the socket complies with IEC 60400. Two examples of these marks are: E and Q. Sockets must have a Z mark as well. Use Rapid Start sockets.DO NOT use Instant Start sockets. See Lutron® App Note #122 or NEMA® doc LSD-34-2006.

Lamp Socket Wiring TesterUse Socket Tester (FDB-LSWT-T5/T8) to verify proper lamp holder wiring.Available for purchase at www.lutronstore.com

Lamp MountingMany fluorescent lamp sockets are available with mounting slots to vary the height of the lamp away from the grounded metal surface. Having a fluorescent lamp too close to the grounded metal will reduce lamp life. Having a fluorescent lamp too far away from the grounded metal will make the lamp flicker or not turn on at all. Please note that all of the lamp heights are measured between the grounded metal surface and the glass wall of the lamp.

IMPORTANT: Lamps must never touch ground plane and should be placed without obstruction.

Mounting for T8 LampsMount lamps 1/8 to 3/4 in (3.2 to 19 mm) away from the grounded metal surface.

Mounting for T5 and T5HO LampsMount lamps 1/16 to 3/8 in (1.6 to 9.5 mm) away from the grounded metal surface.

Mounting for T5 Twin Tube LampsMount lamps 1/16 to 1/2 in (1.6 to 13 mm) away from the grounded metal surface.

Ballast Operating TemperatureBallast case temperature must not exceed 75 °C at any point on the ballast.

Cold Air FlowEnsure that no cold air (from HVAC system, etc) is blowing across the lamps. Cooling the lamp will cause performance issues as noted in NEMA LSD-34.

Wiring and GroundingBallast and lighting fixture must be effectively grounded. Ballasts must be installed per national and local electrical codes.

Attention Facilities ManagersPerformance

Lamp SeasoningConsult lamp manufacturer’s recommendations on lamp seasoning prior to dimming.
