Thermal details and lifetime

The 87501207 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.

87501207 Wiring type and cross section

For wiring use solid wire from 1/0.8MMWHITE100M. Strip 8 – 9 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of terminals.

Loose wiring

87501207 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), this applies for LEDoutput.
• To comply with the EMC regulations run the secondary wires (LED module) in parallel.
• Secondary switching is not permitted.
• The 87501207 has no inverse-polarity protection on the secondary side.

Wrong polarity can damage LED modules with no inverse-polarity protection.

• Wrong wiring of the 87501207 can lead to malfunction or irreparable damage.
• 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.).

Earth connection

The earth connection is conducted as protection earth (PE). If the 87501207 will be earthed, protection earth (PE) has to be used.
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 87501207 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.

Installation note

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

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 87501207 supports the following software and interfaces:

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

Interfaces for data transfer:
• Control input DALI
• Control input switchDIM

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
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 87501207 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.

Functions

OEM Identification

The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) can set his own identification number. DALI Part 251: Memory bank 1 extension.

OEM GTIN

The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) can set his own Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). DALI Part 251: Memory bank 1 extension.

Luminaire data

This function provides the asset management with accurate data about the luminaire. DALI Part 251: Memory bank 1 extension.

Label information

In production, an individual label can be printed out for each device. For this there are different default values (Batch No., Production Date, …) available. In addition, you can use these two text input fields to insert your own luminaire information and print it out.

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.

Device operating mode

A Tridonic driver supports several control signals. These control signals are automatically detected and the mode is adapted. If only one special device mode is required, this mode can be fixed here. “Automatic detection” is the default setting.

Factory reset

This device supports the function to reset all parameters back to factory defaults.

switchDIM fading

Here you can set the fade time of the control gear when using switchDIM.

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.

Constant Light Output (CLO)

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 (CLO) function compensates for this natural decline by constantly increasing the output current of the 87501207 throughout its lifetime.

CLO shall be achieved by limitation of the LED current at the commissioning of the 87501207 and providing a linear interpolation of the current over the time, depending on the data points given by the user.

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 87501207 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 87501207 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 1 – 50 % (factory default = 15 %, EOFi = 0.13).

The voltage-dependent input current of Driver 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: < 66 mA
DC: < 3 mA

Enhanced power on level (ePOL)

The Enhanced Power On Level parameter defines the power level that is set automatically when power is restored after a power failure. The Enhanced Power On Level can be set to a fixed value (0 – 100 %) or can recall the memory value.

The memory value is the last value the LED driver was set to before the power failure.

This value applies not only in DALI device operating mode, but also in the device operating mode switchDIM.

DALI default parameters

In order for all luminaires to react the same for each operation (switching, dimming, scene recall …), these values must be set the same. These DALI standard parameters are supported by every DALI-2 device.

Scenes and groups

Each device can be a member of up to 16 groups. Also, 16 different scene values can be stored in each device.

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 from 0 % up to the power-on level. By factory default no fading time is set (= 0 seconds).

Dimming curve DALI: The desired dimming behaviour is selected via two different dimming curves (logarithmic or linear). The default setting of the dimming behaviour is logarithmic.

 DIP switch configuration

1. The default output current configuration is by DIPSwitch.
2. If output current configuration is realized by DALI interface, DIPSwitch configuration is not available.
3. Enabling DIPSwitch configuration can be done through companionSUITE or masterCONFIGURATOR.

Protective features

Overtemperature protection

The 87501207 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 fulfill 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 87501207 the output will be activated again. The restart can either be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI).

No-load operation

The 87501207 will not be damaged in no-load operation. The output will be deactivated and is therefore free of voltage. When connecting an LED load, restart the device to activate the LED output.

Overload protection

If the maximum load is exceeded by a defined internal limit, the 87501207 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).

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 87501207 to reduce transients.

Conditions of storage and use

Humidity: 5 % up to max. 85 %, not condensed (max. 56 days/year at 85 %)
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

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

DALI-2 linear constant current LED drivers with DIP switches allow you to precisely match the driver’s output to your lighting fixture’s requirements. By physically toggling the built-in DIP switches, you can select specific current outputs (e.g., in 50mA or 100mA steps) to ensure the LEDs operate safely and efficiently.

Key Features & Benefits

Adjustable Output: The integrated DIP switches offer multi-current selection, giving you flexibility if your specific LED setup needs varying drive currents (like 350mA, 500mA, 700mA, or 1050mA).

DALI-2 Protocol: Complies with the IEC 62386 digital lighting standard, ensuring robust interoperability, dimming smoothness, and advanced control with other certified DALI-2 devices.

Linear Form Factor: The slim, elongated shape makes these drivers ideal for installation into linear luminaires, troffers, and slender profiles often used in office and architectural lighting.

Dimming Capabilities: Support for DT6 (synchronized/single-channel) or DT8 (tunable white) dimming, alongside selectable logarithmic or linear dimming curves.
