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 500VDC 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 1,500VAC (or 1,414 x 1,500VDC). To avoid damage to the electronic devices this test must not be conducted.

89800030 Installation / Wiring

89800030 Wiring diagrams

Serial wiring with one or two LED modules

Parallel wiring with multiple LED modules (3 – 9)

Take care that the LED is connected with the right polarity. LED that are connected to the EM powerLED PRO EZ-3 devices should have a reverse polartity protection device such as a schottky diodes fitted, otherwise irreversible damage could occur if the LED is connected in reverse polarity. Any protection device must be capaple of handling in excess of 700 mA.

Note: Please ensure that at the terminal of the EM powerLED module the battery negative is not connected to the negative of the LED load.

Manually tested emergency lighting with combined LED modules for general and emergency lighting Due to the fact that independent circuits are used for general and emergency lighting it is important that the normal supply of the mains LED driver is switched off together with the permanent emergency supply prior to checking the operation of the emergency LEDs.

If this is not done then it may not be possible to see that the emergency LEDs are operating. Use a circuit similar to that shown below.

89800030 Wiring instructions

• The EM powerLED terminals, battery, indicator LED and test switch terminals are classified as SELV. Keep the wiring of the DALI and the input terminals separated from the wiring of the SELV terminals or consider special wiring (double insulation, 6 mm creepage and clearance) when these connections should be kept SELV.
• The output to the LED is DC but has high frequency content at 125 kHz, which should be considered for good EMC compliance.

• EM powerLED leads should be separated from the mains and DALI connections and wiring for good EMC performance.
• Maximum lead length on the EM powerLED terminals is 3 m. For a good EMC performance keep the LED wiring as short as possible.
• The secondary wires (LED module) should be routed in parallel to ensure good EMC performance.

• Maximum lead length for the test switch and Indicator LED connection is 1 m. The test switch and Indicator LED wiring should be separated from the EM powerLED leads to prevent noise coupling.

• Battery leads are specified with 0.5 mm2 cross section and a length of < 1.3 m.
• DALI terminals are mains proof.
• Switched live and unswitched live supplies must be off the same phase.
• To avoid the damage of the control gear, the wiring must be protected against short circuits to earth (sharp edged metal parts, metal cable clips, louver, etc.).

Jumper selection

Module supplied with jumper in 3 hours position (position B). The position of the link will only be read on first power up. If it is changed afterwards both the battery and mains supply must be disconnected for 10 seconds to enable the EM powerLED EZ-3 to read the new link position on reconnection of the battery and mains. It will lead to a false battery failure indication if the link is changed after installation without this reset.

89800030 Testing:

DALI Control

A DALI command from a suitable control unit can be used to initiate function and duration tests at individually selected times. Status flags are set for report back and data logging of results.
When a DALI bus has not been connected or when a DALI bus is connected but the DALI default DELAY and INTERVAL times have not been re-set by sending appropriate DALI commands, then the EM powerLED PRO EZ-3 will conduct self-tests in accordance with the default times set within the EEPROM .

These default times are factory pre-set, in accordance with the DALI standard EN 62386-202, to conduct an automatic function test every 7 days and a duration test every 52 weeks. Since the DELAY time is factory pre-set to Zero, all units are tested at the same time.

Test times can be changed with a command over the DALI bus. The DELAY and INTERVAL time values must be re-set when the emergency system test times are to be scheduled by a DALI control and monitoring system. Note that once the default values have been set to Zero, tests will only be conducted following a command from the control system. If the DALI bus is
disconnected the EM powerLED PRO EZ-3 does not revert to self-testing mode.

89800030 Commissioning

After installation of the luminaire and initial connection of the mains supply and battery supply to the EM powerLED PRO EZ-3 the unit will commence charging the batteries for 20 hours (initial charge). Afterwards the module will conduct a commissioning test for the full duration.

The 20 hours recharge occurs also if a new battery is connected or the module exits the
rest mode condition. The following automatic commissioning duration test is only performed when a battery is replaced and fully charged (after 20 hrs) and the interval time is not set to zero, otherwise the system is expected to perform the testing.

Functional test

The time of day and frequency of the 5 seconds function test can be set by the DALI controller. The default setting is a 5 seconds test on a weekly basis.

Duration test

The time of day and frequency of the duration test can be set by the DALI controller. The default setting is a duration test conducted every 52 weeks.

Prolong time

Prolong time can be set by the DALI controller. This is the delay time between return of the mains supply and the end of the emergency operation. The default prolong time is set as 0 minutes as specified within the DALI standard. Indicator LED will stay off for the duration of the prolong time.

Timer reset functionality

The timer for function and duration test can be set to a particular time of the day by either pressing the test switch for longer than 10 seconds or cycling the unswitched line supply 5 times within 1 minute. The timer adjustment will enable the test start time to be defined manually at time in day when the timer was reset. It will also disable the adaptive test algorithm thereby forcing the unit to perform the test at the same time rather than it being defined by the adaptive algorithm.

This function will only work provided the interval time is greater than zero (automatic test mode enabled). The delay timer value set when the unit was commissioned will be reloaded in order to randomise the tests between adjacent units.

The factory programmed delay offset (1 – 28 days) will be loaded after the reset into the delay timer for the function and duration test in order to randomize the tests between adjacent units.

Rest Mode / Inhibit Mode

Emergency operation is automatically started when the mains supply is switched off. If the Rest Mode is activated, the discharging of the battery will be minimized by switching off the LED output. If the Inhibit Mode has been activated before the mains supply is switched off, Rest Mode will be automatically switched on if the mains supply is switched off within 15 minutes.
Rest Mode and Inhibit Mode can be initiated by the DALI controller.

The REST command has to be sent after the mains supply has been disconnected and whilst the EM powerLED PRO is in emergency operation. The INHIBIT command has to be sent while the EM powerLED PRO is supplied by mains. After a mains reset the EM powerLED PRO exits the Rest Mode. Rest Mode and Inhibit Mode can both be disabled by sending the RE-LIGHT/RESET INHIBIT command.

89800030 Test switch

An optional test switch can be wired to each EM powerLED PRO EZ-3. This can be used to initiate a 5 seconds function test by a short press < 1 second.

DALI Controller

DALI controllers and hardware/software solutions are available from Tridonic. Please refer to the Lighting controls section.

Further technical data

The EM powerLED has a unique power regulation circuit; this is designed to limit the total power drawn from the battery in the event of using LED’s with a forward voltage (Vf) higher than 3.4 V.

In such cases the unit will reduce the LED current in order to maintain an acceptable drain current from the battery and hence meet the required duration time. This feature enables the EM powerLED to have minimum battery count for a given range of LED’s.

At a low charge state of the battery (<1.5 V at the 1 W driver and <3 V at the 2 W driver) the LED will not be driven in maintained mode via the switched line until the rated battery voltage levels are exceeded.

89800030 Batteries

Connection method: 4.8 x 0.5 mm spade tag welded to end of cell For stick packs this connection is accessible after the battery caps have been fitted. To inhibit inverter operation disconnect the batteries by removing the connector from the battery spade tag. For further information refer to corresponding battery datasheet.

89800030 Short-circuit protection

In case of a short circuit the battery protection opens the connection to the driver and the output is therefore free of voltage. The output will be reactivated again when the short circuit is removed.

Storage, installation and commissioning the 89800030

Relevant information about storage conditions, installation and commissioning are provided in the battery datasheets.

Miscellaneous data for the 89800030

Mains-connected transformers

The EM powerLED does not contain mains-connected windings of transformers.

FELV control terminals

FELV control terminals marked „Risk of electric shock“ are not safe to touch. Insulate circuits connected to any FELV control terminal for the Low Voltage supply voltage of the control gear. Protect terminals connected to the FELV circuit against accidental contact.

DALI LED emergency modules are intelligent, addressable components that convert standard LED luminaires into emergency lights, offering automated testing, reporting, and integration with building management systems via the DALI protocol. They automatically monitor battery/lamp health, typically providing 3-hour emergency lighting, and comply with strict safety standards.

Key Features and Functionality

Automatic Testing: Modules conduct periodic functional and duration tests to ensure compliance, removing the need for manual testing.

DALI Integration: These modules use the IEC 62386-202 (DT1) protocol to communicate with a central system, providing diagnostics on battery status, lamp failure, and emergency runtime.

Self-Test Option: If not connected to a DALI bus, they can act as independent self-test units, conducting internal tests.

Versatile Conversion: Designed to turn almost any LED fixture into a maintained or non-maintained emergency unit, usually incorporating LiFePO4 or Lithium-Ion batteries.

Fault Detection: Indicators usually turn red to signify faults (e.g., slow flash for battery failure, rapid for module fault).
