89800602 Expected Lifetime

Average lifetime 50,000 hours under rated conditions with a failure rate of less than 10 %. Average failure rate of 0.2 % per 1000 operating hours.

The EM powerLED 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.

89800602 Installation / Wiring

89800602 Wiring diagrams

The connected LED module will be used for mains and emergency operation. The mains power must be removed before changing the LED load.

Secondary switching of LEDs is not allowed and may cause damage to the LEDs. The hot plug-in of LEDs during normal operation may result in high current peaks.

89800602 Wiring type and cross section

Solid wire with a cross section of 0.5 – 1.5 mm². Strip 8 – 9 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of terminals.

89800602 Wiring guidelines

• The output to the LED is DC but has high frequency content, which should be  considered for good EMC compliance.

• LED leads should be separated from the mains connections and wiring for good EMC performance.
• Maximum lead length on the LED 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 LED leads to prevent noise coupling.
• Battery leads are specified with 0.5 mm cross section and a length of 1.3 m.
• 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.). To ensure that a luminaire containing LED emergency units complies with

EN 55015 for radio frequency conducted interference in both normal and emergency mode it is essential to follow good practice in the wiring layout. Within the luminaire the switched and unswitched 50Hz supply wiring must be routed as short as possible and be kept as far away as possible from the LED leads.

Through wiring may affect the emc performance of the luminaire. The length of LED leads must not be exceeded. The output current depends on the forward voltage and the tolerance of the
LED modules.

89800602 Functions

Function: adjustable current

The output current of the EM powerLED can be adjusted in a certain range. For adjustment there are two options available.

Option 1: I-select 2
By inserting a suitable resistor or third party resistor into the I-select 2 interface, the current value can be adjusted. The relationship between output current and resistor value can be found in the chapter “Accessories I-SELECT 2 Plugs”.

Please note that the resistor values for I-select 2 are not compatible with I-select (generation 1). Installation of an incorrect resistor may cause irreparable damage to the LED module(s).

Resistors for the main output current values can be ordered from Tridonic (see accessories).

Option 2: ready2mains
Adjustment is done by the ready2mains Programmer and the corresponding configuration software (see ready2mains documentation).

Current adjustment can only be done five times over ready2mains. To program the EM powerLED a connected load is necessary that is within the operating window of the EM powerLED.

The priority for current adjustment methods is I-select 2 followed by ready2mains (lowest priority).

Short-circuit behaviour

In case of a short-circuit at the LED output the LED output is switched off. After restart of the EM powerLED the output will be activated again. The restart can either be done via mains reset or via interface ready2mains.

No-load operation

The EM powerLED 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 output voltage range is exceeded the EM powerLED turns off the LED output. After restart of the EM powerLED the output will be activated again. The restart can be done via mains reset.

Overtemperature protection

The EM powerLED 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 approx. +5 °C above tc max

Forward voltage out of range

If the forward voltage is out of range the unit switches to shut down mode. After elimination of the short circuit a mains reset (SL off/on) is necessary

Miscellaneous

Maximum number of switching cycles

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

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 one
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.

Conditions of use and storage

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.
