1.1 Glow-wire test
according to EN 61347-1 with increased temperature of 850 °C passed.
1.2 Insulation and electric strength testing of luminaires
Electronic LED-Drivers can be damaged by high voltage. This has to be consid-
ered 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 sec-
ond. This test voltage should be connected between the interconnected phase
and neutral terminals and the earth terminal. The insulation resistance must be
at least 2 MΩ.
As an alternative, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a test of the electrical
strength with 1,500 VAC (or 1,414 x 1,500 VDC). To avoid damage to the electronic
devices this test must not be conducted.
3. Installation / Wiring
3.1 Wiring diagram
One or more LED modules with a total forward voltage of 48 to 250 V can be
connected to the EM converterLED module. These LED module(s), marked with
“Emergency” are operated in emergency mode from the associated battery. In
normal mains mode all LED modules are operated by the mains LED Driver.
Meaning of marking
Double or reinforced insulation for built-in electronic LED Drivers. The control
gear relies upon the luminaire enclosure for protection against accidental contact
with live parts.
2. Thermal details and life-time

The emergency lighting LED Driver is designed for a life-time 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 tempera-
ture should be checked and eventually critical components (e.g. ELCAP)
measured. Detailed information on request.

3.4 Loose wiring
Loosen wire through twisting
and pulling or using a Ø1 mm
release tool
3.5 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 and DALI 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 0.8 m
• DALI terminals are mains voltage proof
• 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 50 Hz 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.
3.6 Maximum lead length
LED 3 m (6 m loop)1
Status indication LED 1 m
Batteries 0.8 m
1Note: The length of LED leads to the LED module must not be exceeded. Note that the length
of the EM converterLED leads to the LED module is added to the length of the leads from the
LED Driver to the EM converterLED module when considering the max. permitted lead length of
the LED Driver. Keep the leads always as short as possible.
3.7 Use of different phases
The use of different phases for switched line and unswitched line is allowed.
When using different phases, the unswitched line must fail if the switched
line fails. This is required to assure correct switching into emergency mode. It
can be realised with a relay.

7.4 Testing
DALI Control
A DALI command from a suitable control unit can be used to initiate func-
tion 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 converterLED PRO
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 stan-
dard 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.
5.4 LED Driver compatibility
The EM converterLED emergency unit use 3 pole technology and is compa-
tible with most LED Drivers on the market, however it is important to check
that the rating of the LED Driver does not exceed the values specified below:
• The max. allowed output current rating of the associated LED Driver is
2.4 A peak (current rating of switching relays of EM converterLED)
• The max. allowed inrush current rating of the associated LED Driver is
60 A peak for 1 ms or 84 A for 255 μs (inrush current rating of switching
relay of EM converterLED)
• The max. allowed output voltage (U-OUT) of the associated LED Driver
applied to the EM converterLED output is 450V (voltage withstand
between adjacent contact of the single switching relay of the
EM converterLED)
• The max. allowed LED load of the associated LED Driver is 150 W in
operation. The load must be an LED module.
Check compatibility with the carried out function test (duration at least 5
seconds) individually for each device.

7.2 Duration link selection
Emergency lighting LED Driver supplied with duration link in 3 hours positi-
on (position A).
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 converterLED 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.

6.2 Nearfield communication (NFC)
The NFC Interface allows wireless communication with the LED Driver in
unpowered state. This interface offers the option to write configuration and
to read configuration, errors and events via a suitable NFC antenna and the
companionSUITE software.
Place the NFC antenna directly on the LED Driver to guarantee a correct
communication between the LED Driver and the NFC antenna. Any material
placed between the LED Driver and the NFC antenna can cause a deteriora-
tion of the communication quality. We recommend the use of following NFC
antennas:
www.tridonic.com/nfc-readers.
NFC is complied with ISO/IEC 15963 standard.
After programming the device via NFC power up the device one time for one
second till the deviceANALYSER can read out the parameters.
7.1 Integrated DALI bus power supply voltage (IPS)
This feature can optionally be activated (by default it is disabled).
IPS = 50 mA and IPS_max = 250 mA.
The minimum guaranteed output current is 50 mA.
Imax = 250 mA
Note: The voltage drop in the DALI wires must not exceed 2 V.
No other DALI power supply is allowed to be connected in parallel.
If the IPS function is activated, do not integrate the Driver into an
existing DALI network with active DALI bus power supply.
6. Interfaces / communication
6.1 Control input (DA+, DA–)
The DALI Interface allows communication with the Driver via a suitable DALI
control unit. The DALI interface is not SELV. Install the control cable (DALI
bus) in accordance to the requirements of low voltage installations.
DALI terminals are mains voltage proof.

Emergency lighting units
EM converterLED
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 converterLED PRO does not revert to self-testing
mode.
Note: If the battery is connected the DALI communication is only possible
after power reset.
Addressing
The EM converterLED PRO includes the EZ easy addressing system which
allows addressing and identification by using the bi-colour LED. Binary
address codes given by the LED can be simply converted to the DALI
addresses 0 to 63. For single handed addressing using this method it is
necessary to send a broadcast ident command every 3 to 9 seconds. During
this command the LEDs will be switched off and the indication LED will flash
the 6 bit binary address preceded by a 3 second start indication period.
Commissioning
After installation of the luminaire and initial connection of the mains supply
and battery supply to the EM converterLED PRO 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 rechar-
ge 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 per-
form 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.
For 2 h operation:
The first commissioning duration test has a time of 120 minutes, subse-
quent through life tests are conducted for 90 minutes. When the battery is
changed or disconnected and re-connected the unit will next conduct a 120
minute test.
Prolong time
Prolong time can be set by the DALI controller. This is the delay time bet-
ween 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.
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 automa-
tically 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 discon-
nected and whilst the EM converterLED PRO is in emergency operation.
The INHIBIT command has to be sent while the EM converterLED PRO is
supplied by mains.
After a mains reset the EM converterLED PRO exits the Rest Mode. Rest
Mode and Inhibit Mode can both be disabled by sending the RE-LIGHT/
RESET INHIBIT command.
Test switch
An optional test switch can be wired to each EM converterLED.
This can be used to to:
• Initiate a 5 seconds function test: press 200 ms < T < 1 s
• Execute function test as long as switch pressed: press > 1 s
• Reset selftest timer (adjust local timing): press > 10 s
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.
BlackBox data recording
Parameters providing information about the application and use are stored
in the EM converterLED PRO. The parameters stored provide information on
the mains, battery, LED output and emergency operation.
The BlackBox can be read out with the masterCONFIGURATOR and
deviceANALYSER.
DALI Controller
DALI controllers and hardware/software solutions are available from Trido-
nic. Please refer to the Lighting controls section.

8.6 Safety LiFePO4
8.6.1 Deep discharge protection
When the battery remains connected without charging for a long period of time
after the battery cut off of the driver the battery voltage can still drop. To make
sure the cells are not damaged by this voltage drop, the battery protection
prevents the battery from further discharge below 2.0 V.
8.6.2 Overcharge protection
If in case of an error or the use of a wrong driver the battery gets overcharged
the battery protection will disconnect the battery from the driver at a voltage of
3.9 V. A discharge of the battery is still possible after the protection circuit was
triggered to guarantee emergency operation.
8.6.3 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.
