The EcoSystem solution is designed to fulfill the needs of light
control in the 21st century. Specifically, EcoSystem revolutionizes
energy savings, flexibility, and maintenance in a way that changes
the workplace.
Designed for open office spaces and K-12/university classrooms,
EcoSystem easily integrates environment sensors, such as daylight
and occupancy sensors, with personal controls, such as wallstations
and infrared remotes. With up to 50% of energy use in offices
(60% of energy use in schools) going to lighting, the combined
effect of multiple environment sensors and personal controls
operating together brings unparalleled energy savings to spaces
that previously had none.
Beyond the energy savings, EcoSystem creates a more flexible
workspace. Composed of digital ballasts that have individual
addresses and communicate via control wires, EcoSystem ballasts
can be programmed, instead of wired, to work individually or as
a group. This eliminates the need for an area to be rewired when
changes take place, creating flexibility in a space that adjusts
to the shifting needs of a company.
Finally, EcoSystem reduces lighting system maintenance.
All of the environment sensors and personal controls connect
directly to any ballast, removing interfaces, power packs, and
control devices that on other systems require more parts,
programming and maintenance.

Here are the 4 steps to designing an EcoSystem:
Step Ballast Selection
A Determine number of fixtures that will be connected to EcoSystem.
Note: Do not consider control zones, since they will be programmed rather than wired.
B Classify the type of ballast in each fixture.
Note: Use a Ballast Module Fixture-mounted (BMF) in conjunction with a ballast for dimming
down to 1% or for lamp types where EcoSystem is not yet available. A BMF connected
to any Eco-10™or Hi-lume®ballast gives full EcoSystem functionality to that ballast.
Step Sensor/Receiver Selection
Determine what sensors should be connected to EcoSystem.
Note: EcoSystem ballasts are compatible only with EcoSystem daylight sensors.

Note: The digital ballast accepts only
one IR input. Use of the IR input
for the daylight sensor precludes
the use of an infrared receiver

Functionality
•Lighting Control
- Personal control of the light level of individual
fixtures or groups of fixtures
•Grouping
- Assign individual or groups of fixtures to
wallstations, daylight sensors and occupancy
sensors so that one sensor can control
multiple fixtures/ballasts
•Device Setup
- Daylight sensor: Set the electric light level that
responds to the presence of daylight
- Occupancy sensor: Set the time-out length,
light level when room is occupied, and light
level when room is not occupied
- 4-Button Wallstations: Set light levels for each
individual or group of fixtures to create scenes
for each button of the wallstation.
•Ballasts
- Addressing: This begins the automatic
addressing of individual or multiple ballasts
- Configuration: Set maximum level, fade time,
or emergency level for each ballast or all ballasts
on the system
- Replacement: Simply enter the serial number
of the old ballast and all programming is
transferred to the new ballast

Wiring to an EcoSystem Bus Supply
•The bus supply does not have to be
located at the end of the EcoSystem bus
•E1 and E2 wires are polarity insensitive
•Bus length is limited by the wire gauge
used for E1 and E2 as follows:
Wire Gauge Max Loop Length
#12 AWG (2.05mm) 2,200' (670m)
#14 AWG (1.63mm) 1,400' (426m)
#16 AWG (1.29mm) 900' (274m)
#18 AWG (1.02mm) 550' (167m)
Attention Electricians and Contractors
Regardless of bus wire gauge, ballast and
BMF terminals will hold only one
#16 to #18 AWG solid wire. In most cases
a wire connection to the EcoSystem bus
is required.
Note: Two different color wires are
recommended for the EcoSystem bus.
This prevents accidentally creating
a loop circuit with one wire.
