Thermal details and lifetime for the 87500717

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.

87500717 Installation / wiring

87500717 Wiring type and cross section

Input side:
For wiring use solid wire from 0.5 – 2.5 mm².
Strip 10 – 11 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of terminals.

Output side:
For wiring use solid wire from 0.2 – 1.5 mm².
Strip 8.5 – 9.5 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of terminals.

87500717 Wiring guidelines

• The cables should be run separately from the mains connections and mains cables to ensure good EMC conditions.
• The max. secondary cable length (NTC, LED) is 2 m (4 m circuit).
• For good EMC performance, keep the LED wiring as short as possible.
• 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.
• To enhance the capability against mechanical stress (vibration), it is recommended to apply washers for the screws in installation.
• 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.
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, ready2mains).

Earth connection

The earth connection is conducted as function earth (FE). There is no earth connection required for the functionality of the LED driver. Earth connection is recommended to improve following behaviour:
• Electromagnetic interferences (EMI)
• LED glowing at standby
• Transmission of mains transients to the LED output

Installation note for the 87500717

Max. torque at the clamping screw: 0.5 Nm / M4

Electrical values

Make sure that the LED driver is operated within the given window under all operating conditions. Special attention needs to be paid at dimming and DC emergency operation as the forward voltage of the connected LED modules varies with the dimming level, due to the implemented amplitude dimming technology. Coming below the specified minimum output voltage of the LED driver may cause the device to shut-down. See chapter “6.6 Light level in DC operation” for more information.

87500717 Software / Programming / Interfaces

Software / programming

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
• ready2mains Programmer

Interfaces for data transfer:
• NFC
• Control input DALI
• Control input switchDIM
• Control input ready2mains
• U6Me2

Nearfield communication (NFC) and the 87500717

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, DSI).
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:
• DSI signal: 8 bit
• DALI signal: 16 bit
Dimming is realized by amplitude dimming.

Control Input switchDIM

A standard pushbutton (switchDIM) can be wired on the terminals (DA/N and DA/L). 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.

Control input ready2mains (L, N)

The digital ready2mains protocol is modulated onto the mains signal which is wired to the mains terminal (L and N). The configuration is done via the ready2mains Programmer, either directly at the Programmer itself or via a respective software tool. For details on the configuration via ready2mains see the technical information of the Programmer and its tools.
Following tools can be used:
• deviceCONFIGURATOR (companionSUITE)
• masterCONFIGURATOR
• ready2mains Programmer

6Me2

Settings of chronoSTEP function could be done via switching mains commands.
For detailed description for timings and intervals see product manual.
Key features:
• Auto-dimming with 8 sequences
• Every sequence can hold 8 parameter pairs
• Separate dim-level for each time parameter
• Various commands + parameter for extensions

87500717 Functions

LED current

The LED output current must be adapted to the connected LED module. The value is limited by the current range of the respective device. The priority for current adjustment methods is NFC / DALI (highest priority) and ready2mains (lowest priority).

corridorFUNCTION

A motion detector (corridorFUNCTION) can be wired on the terminals (DA/N and DA/L). 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 a certain brightness and is available in desired 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.
To activate the corridorFUNCTION without using software a voltage of 230V has to be applied at the DA/N and DA/L connection. The unit will then switch automatically to the corridorFUNCTION. corridorFUNCTION is a very simple tool for controlling gears with conventional pushbuttons or motion sensors.

To ensure correct operation a sinusoidal mains voltage with a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz is required at the control input. Special attention must be paid to achieving clear zero crossings.
Serious mains faults may impair the operation of corridorFUNCTION.

Note: By using corridorFUNCTION programming and monitoring via DALI is always possible.

chronoSTEP (Virtual Midnight)

In the outdoor lighting and street lighting sector it often makes sense to dim the lighting level during night hours in order to save energy. The chronoSTEP function is a tool that makes this easy to do.

The device automatically measures the switch-on and switch-off times of the lighting installation over the past three days. The switch-on and switch-off times are typically the times at which the sun sets and rises. The midpoint of these two reference points is the time referred to as Virtual Midnight. The overall time interval between switch-on and switch-off points is called On Time.

Notice Overall there are 8 profiles, 5 are predefined by factory and 3 can be programmed by the customer. When calculating the On-Time, only values between 4 and 24 hours are counted. Values less than 4 hours could indicate a power failure and are therefore not saved. For settings longer than 24 hours, 24 hours is saved as the maximum possible value.

External temperature management (ETM + NTC)

ETM protects the LED module against thermal overstress. An external temperature sensor (NTC) detects the LED module temperature and the LED driver will limit the output current according to this temperature:

If the temperature is between the limits T1 (normal condition) and T2 (overload), the LED output current will be decreased. If the temperature exceeds the limit T3 (critical temperature), the device will switch to the shutdown level.

The shutdown level will be active until the module temperature decreases below T1 or until the LED driver is restarted (switch off or mains reset). The LED module’s temperature is only measured if the output is active (lamp is on).

The allowed NTC resistor value is between 0 to 2 MΩ. By default there are three predefined values that can be set via programming software, up to five individual values can be added.

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.

Light level in DC operation

In emergency light systems with a central battery supply the DC recognition function uses the input voltage to detect if emergency mode is present. The 87500717 then automatically switches to DC mode and dims the light to the defined DC level.

Without DC recognition different and more complex solutions would have to be applied in order to detect emergency mode. DC recognition is integrated in the device as standard. No additional commissioning is necessary for activation.

This is a safety-relevant parameter. The setting is relevant for the dimensioning of the central battery system.

The LED driver is designed to operate on DC voltage and pulsed DC voltage. For a reliable operation, make sure that also in DC emergency operation the LED driver is run within the specified conditions as stated in chapter “4.1 operating window”.

Light output level in DC operation: programmable 5 – 100 % (factory default = 15 %, EOFi = 0.13).

The voltage-dependent input current of the 87500717 incl. LED module is depending on the used load. The voltage-dependent no-load current of Driver (without or defect LED
module) is for:
AC: < 30 mA
DC: < 4 mA

In DC operation dimming mode can be activated. If Dimming on DC is activated the requirements of the DC recognition function are ignored.
Even if DC is detected, the 87500717 continues to behave as in AC mode

• The present dimming level is retained
• An emergency light level defined for the DC recognition function (DC level) is ignored
• Control signals via DALI und DSI continue to be executed

If Dimming on DC is activated then emergency mode is not recognised. The device no longer automatically switches to the emergency light level.

Intelligent Temperature Guard (ITG)

The intelligent temperature guard protects the 87500717  from thermal overheating by reducing the output power or switching off in case of operation above the thermal limits of the luminaire or ballast. Depending on the luminaire design, the ITG operates at about 5 to 10 °C above tc temperature.

If temperature threshold values are exceeded, the LED output current is limited. These limits can be adjusted using the programming software. Even the current ITG temperature in the device can be read out. With this function, the sensitivity of the temperature control can be adjusted.

inputDIM

Dimming with varation of mains voltage between 170 and 250 V AC. With appropriate software the max. / min. dimming level can be set. The associated voltage for the max. / min. dimming level can be set individually within the voltage range stated above.

Intelligent Voltage Guard Plus (IVG+) has higher priority than inputDIM. If min. dimming level set by inputDIM function is higher than max. allowed dimming level of Intelligent Voltage Guard Plus (IVG+) the value of IVG+ has priority.

Power-up fading

The power-up function offers the opportunity to modify the on behavior. The time for fading on can be adjusted in a range of 0.2 to 16 seconds. According to this value, the device dims either from 0 % up to the power-on level.
By factory default no fading time is set (= 0 seconds).

Memory bank 1 extension

This function provides an extension to memory bank 1 to enable asset management functionality. Several internal values from the driver could be read out from this memory bank.
For example luminaire year, week and description. Also power levels, AC mains voltages and light output can be read out.

Energy reporting on the 87500717

This function provides the information related to energy reporting accessible through memory banks in this driver. Several functions and values could be read out to gain access in Content
management systems.

Report and values for Active power, Active Energy and many more can be read out.

Diagnostics & Maintenance for the 87500717

This function provides the information related to diagnostics and maintenance information accessible through memory banks. Several functions and values could be read out to gain access in Content management systems.

Report and values for failure behaviour, driver conditions and malfunctions trigger points can be read out.

Note for chapter 6.10 to 6.12:
Accuracy of readout measured values is 10 % running the device in HV mode within a load range of 50 – 100 %. Running the device in other load range or in LV mode results in not useable values.

87500717 Protective features

Overtemperature protection for the 87500717

The LED driver is protected against temporary thermal overheating. If the temperature limit is exceeded the output current of the LED module(s) is reduced. The temperature protection is activated above tc max.

The activation temperature differs depending on the LED load. On DC operation this function is deactivated to fulfil emergency requirements.

Short-circuit behaviour

In case of a short-circuit at the LED output the LED output is switched off. After restart of the LED driver the output will be activated again. The restart can either be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI, DSI, ready2mains).

No-load operation

The LED driver will not be damaged in no-load operation. The output will be deactivated and is therefore free of voltage. If a LED load is connected, the device has to be restarted before the output will be activated again.

Overload protection

If the maximum load is exceeded by a defined internal limit, the LED driver turns off the LED output. After restart of the LED driver the output will be activated again. The restart can either be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI, DSI, ready2mains).

IVG+ – Intelligent Voltage Guard Plus

In some cases mains voltage is not stabilized and has some voltage peaks which are lower or higher than the nominal voltage range. Between 192 V and 80 V input voltage, the LED driver operates in undervoltage mode and dims the secondary side linearly down to 10 %.

Below 80 V input voltage, the LED driver shuts down, restarts at 90 V (without a reset) and dims linearly up back to 100 %. Above 280 V input voltage, the LED driver shuts down. If input voltage drops below 270 V, the LED driver restarts (without a reset). Intelligent Voltage Guard Plus (IVG+) has a higher priority than inputDIM.

ESD protection

The potential risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) during certain weather conditions (like dry air and wind) and using the drivers in an installation on non-conductive poles is avoided.

87500717 Miscellaneous

Insulation and electric strength testing of luminaires

Electronic devices can be damaged by high voltage. This has to be considered during the routine testing of the luminaires in production.

According to IEC 60598-1 Annex Q (informative only!) or ENEC 303-Annex A, each luminaire should be submitted to an insulation test with 500V DC for 1 second. This test voltage should be connected between the interconnected phase and neutral terminals and the earth terminal.

The insulation resistance must be at least 2MΩ. As an alternative, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a test of the electrical strength with 1500V AC (or 1.414 x 1500V DC). To avoid damage to the electronic devices this test must not be conducted.

The equipotential terminal is used to connect the heat sink and the LED driver to reduce transients.

Conditions of storage and use of the 87500717

Humidity: 5 % up to max. 95 %, not condensed
Storage temperature: -40 °C up to max. +80 °C

The devices have to be acclimatised to the specified temperature range (ta) before they can be operated.

The LED driver is declared as inbuilt LED controlgear, meaning it is intended to be used within a luminaire enclosure.

If the product is used outside a luminaire, the installation must provide suitable protection for people and environment (e.g. in illuminated ceilings).

Maximum number of switching cycles for the 87500717

All LED driver are tested with 50,000 switching cycles.
The actually achieved number of switching cycles is significantly higher.

DALI constant current LED drivers are the industry standard for smart, highly efficient street lighting networks. They maintain a steady electrical current despite voltage fluctuations, while the DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) protocol enables two-way, programmable digital communication with each streetlamp.

Key Features for Street Lighting

Bi-Directional Control & Diagnostics: Unlike traditional dimmers, DALI allows central management systems (CMS) to individually address streetlights. Operators can monitor power consumption, detect lamp failures, and check driver temperature in real time.

Constant Current Operation: Because LEDs are sensitive to temperature changes, these drivers ensure the current remains constant to prevent overheating (thermal runaway) and maintain uniform, reliable brightness across the roadway.

Dynamic Dimming Profiles: Street lighting drivers often include built-in timers or “midnight self-adaptation” algorithms. They automatically dim to a lower output during off-peak hours (e.g., late at night) to save energy and reduce light pollution.

Robust Environmental Protection: Outdoor DALI drivers usually feature rugged aluminium housings, high IP ratings (typically IP65 or IP67) to withstand harsh weather, and integrated heavy-duty surge protection (often 10kV or higher) to survive lightning strikes and grid spikes.
