1 Safety

1.1 Definition of symbols

Stop (Stop Danger). This symbol warns of serious danger of severe injury to

persons. It must be strictly observed.

Attention (Warning). This symbol indicates information the non-observance of

which can lead to extensive damage to property. The safety warning must be

strictly observed.

Information. This symbol indicates key information on use. Non-observance can

lead to failure.

1.2 Safety advice

The ELC must be installed and connected in compliance with existing regulations

and practices. This is e.g. EN 60204-1 in Europe.

Repairs on the ELC may only be carried out by the manufacturer.

The installation, starting up and maintenance may only be carried out by skilled

electricians.

Do not open the ELC before it is disconnected from the mains. BEWARE OF

RESIDUAL VOLTAGE! The unit may still be live up to several minutes (see label in

the ballast) after it has been switched off.



1 Safety page 2

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

The ELC causes a leakage current given in chapter 6.

Safeguarding by means of leakage current protection type A and type AC

according to IEC 60755 is not permitted!

The ELC operates in principle as a frequency converter and is equipped with a

mains filter whose leakage current could trip the earth leakage detector RCD.

Contact to the grounding connector must always be ensured.

Additional measures must be taken to ensure that there is no danger when

touching the appliance. This could be by means of a universal leakage current

protection type B, taking into consideration the increased response threshold, or

by means of an independent equipotential connection.

The leakage current through the interference suppression capacitors demands

as per EN 50178 the use of a second protective earth conductor in parallel to the

first one. The cross-section of each earth conductor corresponds at least to the

cross-section of an outer conductor.

1.3 Correct operation

The ELC is conceived as an electronic ballast exclusively for the operation of

lamps approved for this ELC type.

Any other use is deemed as misuse. The manufacturer will not assume liability

for damage resulting from misuse.

A pre-requisite for authorised operation of the ELC is the observance of both the

operating and maintenance instructions and the safety advice.

1.4 Extended use

Extended use beyond the operating specifications as stated is not permitted.

The manufacturer will not assume liability if the equipment is used in any other

way. The operator acts at his own risk.

Any operation beyond the scope of the authorised operation is considered to be

misuse.

2 Description of functions page 3

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

2 Description of functions

The electronic ballast ELC is designed to operate medium pressure discharge lamps as

described in chapter 6.

In contrast to conventional ballasts (inductive lamp ballast or transformer or transformer with

transductor), with an ELC the lamp is operated with high frequency (approx. 100 kHz). The

lamp does not flicker and dimming is infinitely adjustable within a wide power range (see

chapter 6).

Dimming

The possibility of dimming the lamp has two advantages. Firstly the lamp can be switched to

minimum load (standby operation) during longer idle times and energy can thus be saved.

Secondly the optimum lamp power can be determined and adjusted as appropriate.

Power control

The ELC offers a high level of lamp power constancy due to its integrated power control.

Variations in operating voltage of 400-480V  10 % do not affect lamp power. Between 310-

360V a reduction of output power according to chapter 6 has to be taken into account.

Ignition device

When the lamp is switched on the ELC initiates trigger pulses to fire the lamp; a separate

ignition device is not required.

Other performance characteristics

 High level of electrical efficiency.

 Low harmonic distortion of the mains current due to integrated power factor corrector.

 Configuration, control and monitoring of the ELC is carried out via BUS-interface.

 The ELC monitors the insulation resistance of the lamp output wiring (earth fault control).

 The potential of both lamp outputs is insulated from that of the supply voltage.

 The ELC is both short-circuit proof and safe in open circuit operation at the lamp output.

ELC X-Series-V1.5-06.18-GB subject to technical alterations

3 Installation

3.1 Mounting of casing

The ELC may only be installed as described in 3.1.1 and in 3.1.2, allowing for at

least the minimum spacing as shown in Fig. 3.

Horizontal mounting upside down is not allowed. All vertical mounting

orientations are possible.

The ELC should not be mounted in the immediate proximity of sensitive electronic

equipment. An appropriate distance must be maintained to scatter field

transformers or other inductors.

The ELC is equipped with built-in fans to ensure forced air cooling. Air ducts and

optional filters must be designed to allow the air flow described in chapter 6. The

ambient temperature must not exceed the values described in chapter 6. The

ambient temperature is measured by the ELC and will be stored within the

internal error memory.

3.1.1 Mounting of single ELC

The side surfaces of the housing contain 2 T-slots each. Fig. 1 indicates the relative interspace

of the two T-slots and distance to the outer face of the housing. The T-slots are suitable for

sliding blocks 6mm groove, M5 by Bosch Rexroth, as well as for sliding profiles (see Fig. 2) ,

the latter applicable for X6 and higher power, both available as accessories. Fig. 3 shows the

horizontal mounting orientation including the minimum spacing at the back of the ELC.

Alternatively the ELC may be mounted flush with the rear panel if a cut out for the ventilation

is ensured.

3.1.2 Mounting in a stack

Up to 12 ELC may be mounted on top of each other. To fasten the ballasts onto each other a

custom-built stacking connector has to be used (available as accessories):

3.2 Connection

To gain access to the electrical contacts the front hood has to be removed. Loosen the

screwing (according to model 4 or 6 x TX20-screw) and detach the front hood.

3.2.3 Overview power connections X4 – X8

Fig. 6: Power connection X4-X8

Fig. 6 shows the electrical wiring. Please consider the following aspects:

Voltage balancing: on installing several ELCs the ballasts have to be equally distributed on all

phases (e.g. 1st ballast L1/L2, 2nd ballast L2/L3, 3rd ballast L3/L1 etc.).

Protective conductors: to ground the ballast it is strongly recommended to connect to X100 at

least one PE-line with a cross section of 10mm² or two PE-lines with nominal cross section of

the mains supply lines.

Cut-Out and loop impedance: The installation of an automatic cut-out is required for line

protection. It is necessary to check the loop impedance afterwards.

Using an RCD: if a RCD is required we recommend a RCD type B. When using a RCD consider

the leakage current given in chapter 6.

Shielding:

The lamp feeder cable shielding must be connected to the ELC at the designated

shield clamp, see paragraph 3.2.9.

If desired, the shielding can also be connected to the lamp unit.
