28004039 Thermal details and lifetime

The LED driver is designed for a lifetime stated above under reference conditions and with a failure probability of less than 10 %.

The relation of tc to ta temperature depends also on the luminaire design.
If the measured tc temperature is approx. 5 K below tc max., ta temperature should be checked and eventually critical components (e.g. ELCAP) measured. Detailed information on request.

28004039 Installation / wiring

28004039 Wiring type and cross section

For wiring use solid wire from 0.5 – 1.5 mm².
Strip 8 – 9 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of terminals

28004039 Wiring guidelines

• The cables should be run separately from the mains connections and mains cables to ensure good EMC conditions.
• The LED wiring should be kept as short as possible to ensure good EMC.

The max. secondary cable length is 2 m (4 m circuit).
• Secondary switching is not permitted.

• The LED driver has no inverse-polarity protection on the secondary side.

Wrong polarity can damage LED modules with no inverse-polarity protection.
• Wrong wiring of the LED driver can lead to malfunction or irreparable damage.
• With mains transients of 4 kV can voltage peaks up to 4 kV occur against PE at the output of the LED driver. This has to be considered concerning the dielectric strength of the LED module (insulation against PE).

• To avoid damage of the Driver, the wiring must be protected against short circuits to earth (sharp edged metal parts, metal cable clips, louver, etc.).

Hot plug-in

Hot plug-in is not supported due to residual output voltage of > 0 V up to mains voltage. Danger to life.
When connecting an LED load, restart the device to activate the LED output.
This can be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI, DSI, switchDIM).

Earth connection

The earth connection is conducted as protection earth (PE). The LED driver can be earthed via earth terminal or metal housing. If the LED driver will be earthed, protection earth (PE) has to be used. There is no earth connection required for the functionality of the LED driver. Earth connection is recommended to improve following behaviour:
• Electromagnetic interferences (EMI)
• Transmission of mains transients to the LED output

In general it is recommended to earth the LED driver if the LED module is mounted on earthed luminaire parts respectively heat sinks and thereby representing a high capacity against earth.

Replace LED module

1. Mains off
2. Remove LED module
3. Wait for 30 seconds
4. Connect LED module again
Hot plug-in or secondary switching of LEDs is not permitted and may cause a very high current to the LEDs.

Device assembly

For mounting the device washer with outer diameter of 10 mm should be used.
The tightening force of the M4 screw should be 3.5 NM.

Industry application

This driver is designed for industry applications.

Due to the high performance of the driver, there may be a slightly increased noise level.

The starting sound, when switching on the driver, can possibly be heard more.

The nominal lifetime of 100,000 hours and its temperatures are designed for standard applications.

However, the driver can also withstand higher temperatures, which are shown in Table 2.1.

At high temperatures, the lifetime is reduced accordingly.

Dimming curve is adapted to the eye sensitiveness.
Dimming is realized by amplitude dimming.
Physical minimal current is 1 % of max. current of the driver.

28004039 Software / Programming / Interfaces

28004039 Software / Programming / Interfaces

With appropriate software and interface different functions can be activated and various parameters can be configured in the LED driver.
The Driver supports the following software and interfaces:

Software / hardware for configuration:
• companionSUITE (deviceGENERATOR, deviceCONFIGURATOR, deviceANALYSER)
• masterCONFIGURATOR

Interfaces for data transfer:
• NFC
• Control input DALI

Nearfield communication (NFC)

The NFC Interface allows wireless communication with the LED driver.

This interface offers the option to write configuration and to read configuration, errors and events with the companionSUITE.

A correct communication between the LED driver and the NFC antenna can only be guaranteed if the antenna is placed directly on the Driver.

Any material placed between the LED driver and the NFC antenna can cause a deterioration of the communication quality.

After programming the device via NFC power up the device one time for one second till the deviceANALYSER can read out the parameters.

We recommend the use of following NFC antenna:

www.tridonic.com/nfc-readers

NFC is complied with ISO/IEC 15963 standard.

Changing parameters via NFC shall be done by qualified engineers only.

Control input DALI

The control input is non-polar for digital control signals (DALI).

The control signal is not SELV. The control cable has to be installed in accordance to the requirements of low voltage installations.
Digital control with:
• DALI signal: 16 bit
• DSI signal: 8 bit
When using the internal DALI power supply as a closed system it is SELV.

For example if only one sensor is attached.

28004039 switchDIM

Integrated switchDIM function allows a direct connection of a pushbutton for dimming and switching.

Brief push (< 0.6 s) switches LED driver ON and OFF. The dimm level is saved at power-down and restored at power-up.

When the pushbutton is held, LED modules are dimmed. After repush the LED modules are dimmed in the opposite direction.

In installations with LED drivers with different dimming levels or opposite dimming directions (e.g. after a system extension), all LED drivers can be synchronized to 50 % dimming level by a 10 s push.

Use of pushbutton with indicator lamp is not permitted

28004039 corridorFUNCTION

With the corridorFUNCTION and a commercially available motion detector, it is easy to adapt the lighting in one area to its use.

That is, when the area is entered by a person, the lighting dims instantly to the desired brightness and is available in full strength.

After the area is left by the person, the brightness dims slowly to a smaller value or switches off completely.

The individual parameters of the desired profile, such as brightness values or delay times, can be adjusted flexibly and individually

28004039 Enhanced Constant Light Output (eCLO)

With this function the light output of the LED module can be kept equal over the lifetime.

The light output of an LED module reduces over the course of its lifetime.

The Constant Light Output (eCLO) function compensates for this natural decline by constantly increasing the output current of the LED driver throughout its lifetime.

Enhanced eCLO shall be achieved by limitation of the LED current at the commissioning of the LED driver and providing a linear interpolation of the current over the time, depending on the data points given by the user.

The user has to insert up to eight pairs of data (time, level).

The output curve is the result of connecting the user data points linear.

Detailed description for eCLO see product manual.

The minimal CLO starting point is limited by the smallest output current of the LED driver.

DALI NFC warehouse industrial LED drivers are specialized, high-performance power supplies designed for demanding environments like warehouses, logistics centers, and manufacturing plants. These drivers combine DALI-2 (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) for networked, intelligent control with NFC (Near Field Communication) for rapid, wireless configuration.

Key Features and Benefits

Intelligent Control & Data: DALI-2 certification ensures interoperability, while DALI parts 251, 252, and 253 allow for energy monitoring, diagnostics, and luminaire data tracking.

Wireless Programming (NFC): Output current (mA), constant lumen output (CLO) settings, and DALI addresses can be configured wirelessly via smartphone or NFC reader, even when the driver is unpowered.

Robustness for Industry: Designed for high-temperature environments (up to 55°C-65°C ) and often feature high surge protection (4kV – 10kV).

Energy Efficiency: Features include dim-to-dark capabilities and high efficiency (often >90%).

Flexibility: Wide operating windows allow them to be used with various LED modules.

Common Specifications

Output Power: Typically ranging from 25W to 165W, with 50W-100W common for industrial high-bay lighting.

Output Current: Highly adjustable, often between 100mA and 1500mA.
Lifespan: Often rated for 50,000 to 100,000+ hours.
Dimming Method: Primarily Amplitude Modulation (AM) for flicker-free, high-quality light.

DSI (Digital Serial Interface) dimming is a Tridonic-developed, 8-bit digital protocol launched in the early 1990s as a simpler, cost-effective alternative to DALI, designed for robust lighting control. It uses a single pair of wires to send digital signals (0-255) to ballasts, allowing smooth, synchronized dimming, typically used in commercial settings for daylight harvesting and Scene-set controllers.

Key Aspects of DSI Dimming:

Control Method: Uses a 1200 baud digital signal to command ballasts, providing higher accuracy and flicker-free performance compared to older analogue 1-10V systems.

Wiring: Requires two dedicated, polarity-sensitive control wires (+/-) in addition to the live, neutral, and earth cables.

Functionality: Unlike DALI, DSI does not allow for individual addressing (addressable functionality). All luminaires on a DSI circuit operate together.

SwitchDIM: Often used with “SwitchDIM,” allowing standard retractive (push-to-make) switches to control dimming levels and on/off functions.

Tridonic Support: While largely superseded by DALI, DSI is still supported within Tridonic’s modern driver ranges.

DSI ensures stable dimming even at very low light levels, making it suitable for modern LED and traditional fluorescent installations requiring high-quality dimming control. 

DALI protocol

DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is an open-standard, two-way digital communication protocol (IEC 62386) for lighting control. It allows individual addressing and dimming of up to 64 LED drivers per loop, providing smooth, flicker-free, and precise logarithmic dimming from 100% down to 1% or lower. It is ideal for commercial applications needing flexibility, scene setting, and feedback.

Key Features of DALI Dimming:

Addressable Control: Each driver has a unique address, allowing individual control or grouping without rewiring.

Two-Way Communication: Devices can send information back to the controller, such as status updates, lamp failures, or light level.

Smooth Dimming Curve: Uses a logarithmic dimming curve that matches the sensitivity of the human eye for better perception of dimming steps.

Interoperability: As an open standard, DALI components from different manufacturers can be mixed.

Wiring Flexibility: The DALI bus consists of two wires that can be wired in star, loop, or combination configurations, providing simple and flexible installation.
