ECXD1050.299 Safety functions

• Transient mains peaks protection:

Values are in compliance with EN 61547 (interference immunity). Surges between L–N: up to 2 kV

• Short-circuit protection:

The control gear is protected against permanent short-circuit with automatic restart function.

• Overload protection:

The control gears have overload protection due to limitation of DC output voltage < 60 V. Please check before switch-on mains power supply that the selected LED load is suitable (see Electrical Characteristics on data sheet).

• Overheating:

The control gears have overheating protection. In case of overheating the control gear will shut down. For restart switch of the mains for 1 min. and start again. The temperature reduces the output current of the control gear in the event of overheating.

• No load operation:

The control gear is protected against no load operation (open load).

• If any of the above mentioned safety functions will be triggered, disconnect the control gear from the power supply then find and eliminate the cause of the problem.

DC and emergency lighting operation

The control gears are suitable for direct voltage operation (DC).

Reliable DC operation is guaranteed if the specified working area of LED driver is maintained.

• Light level at DC operation (EOFX): 100 % (not adjustable)
• DC range: 170–280 V
• DC operation: 3 hrs. (acc. to EN 50172)

Corridor function

To enable a predefined corridor function profile please follow the instructions below:
• Enable: press the push button for (t > 60 s) to activate the corridor function.
• Disable: disconnect the driver from mains for (t > 5 s) to deactivate the corridor function.
• 100 % light: Keep the button pressed.
• The fade off time is 30 seconds, light intensity 10%.
• The prolong time is 30 minutes, then off.

ECXD1050.299 Assembly and Safety Information

Installation must be carried out under observation of the relevant regulations and standards. Installation must be carried out in a voltage-free state (i.e. disconnection from the mains). The following advices must be observed; non-observance can result in the destruction of the LED drivers, fire and/or other hazards.

Mandatory regulations
• DIN VDE 0100
• EN 60598-1

ECXD1050.299 Mechanical mounting

• Mounting position: Built-in: Any position inside a luminaire is allowed

Independent application: Drivers with integrated cord grip are allowed to use for independent applications.

• Mounting location: LED drivers are designed for integration into luminaires or comparable devices.

Independent LED drivers do not need to be integrated into a casing.
Installation in outdoor luminaires: degree of protection for luminaire with water protection rate ≥ 4 (e.g. IP54 required).

• Degree of protection: IP20
• Clearance: Min. 0.10 m from walls, ceilings and insulation
• Surface: Solid and plane surface for optimum heat dissipation required.
• Heat transfer: If the driver is destined for installation in a luminaire. sufficient heat transfer must be ensured between the driver and the luminaire casing. LED drivers should be mounted with the greatest possible clearance to heat sources. During operation. the temperature measure at the driver’s tc point must not exceed the specified maximum value.

• Fastening: Using M4 screws in the designated holes
• Tightening torque: 0.2 Nm
• Polarity: Please ensure the correct polarity of the leads prior to commissioning. Reversed polarity can destroy the modules.
• Parallel connection: At secondary side is not allowed.
• Through-wiring: Is not allowed
• Secondary load: The sum of forward voltages of LED loads is within the tolerances which are mentioned in the Electrical Characteristics on the data sheet

Selection of automatic cut-outs for VS LED drivers

• Dimensioning automatic cut-outs

High transient currents occur when an LED driver is switched on because the capacitors have to load. Ignition of LED modules occurs almost simultaneously. This also causes a simultaneous high demand for power. These high currents when the system is switched on put a strain on the automatic conductor cut-outs, which must be selected and dimensioned to suit.

• Release reaction

The release reaction of the automatic conductor cut-outs comply with VDE 0641, part 11, for B, C characteristics. The values shown in the following tables are for guidance purposes only and are subject to system-dependent change.

• No. of LED drivers

The maximum number of VS LED drivers applies to cases where the devices are switched on simultaneously. Specifications apply to single-pole fuses. The number of permissible drivers must be reduced by 20% for multi-pole fuses. The considered circuit impedance equals 400 mΩ (approx. 20 m [2.5 mm²] of conductor from the power supply to the distributor and a further 15 m to the luminaire).

Constant Current DALI LED drivers are advanced power supplies that deliver a stable current (not voltage) to LEDs, ensuring consistent brightness and longevity, while DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) provides precise digital control, grouping, and monitoring for complex smart lighting systems, with features like NFC configuration for fine-tuning (brightness, curves, addresses) and support for DALI-2 standards. They are essential for high-quality commercial and architectural lighting, offering flicker-free dimming and reliable performance.

How They Work

Constant Current: Instead of a steady voltage, these drivers adjust their output voltage to maintain a fixed current, vital for LEDs to prevent brightness shifts or failure.

DALI Control: A digital communication protocol allows the driver to receive commands (dim, set scenes, etc.) from a control system, enabling individual or group control.

Key Features & Benefits

Precise Dimming: Smooth, flicker-free dimming down to very low levels (e.g., 0.1%).

Digital Addressing: Each driver/luminaire gets a unique address for specific control.

Bi-directional Communication: Allows monitoring of the lighting circuit as well as control.

NFC Configuration: Near Field Communication enables easy, non-contact setup of parameters like current, groups, scenes, and dimming curves (linear/logarithmic).

DALI-2 Standard: Latest standard for improved compatibility and performance.

Versatile Applications: Suitable for downlights, strip lights, and architectural fixtures in both commercial and residential settings.
