3.5 Hot plug-in
Hot plug-in is not supported due to residual output voltage of > 0 V.
If a LED load is connected the device has to be restarted before the output will
be activated again.
This can be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI, DSI, switchDIM).
3.6 Earth connection
The earth connection is conducted as protection earth (PE). The LED Driver
can be earthed via earth terminal. If the LED Driver will be earthed,
protection earth (PE) has to be used. There is no earth connection required
for the functionality of the LED Driver. Earth connection is recommended to
improve following
behaviour:
• Electromagnetic interferences (EMI)
• LED glowing at standby
• Transmission of mains transients to the LED output
In general it is recommended to earth the LED Driver if the LED module is
mounted on earthed luminaire parts respectively heat sinks and thereby
representing a high capacity against earth.
3.3 Loose wiring
Release of the wiring
Press down the “push button” and remove the cable from front.
Mains supply wires
Secondary wires (LED module)
3.4 Wiring guidelines
• Run the secondary lines separately from the mains connections and lines
to achieve good EMC performance.
• The max. secondary cable (LED module) length is 2 m (4 m circuit).
• For good EMC performance, keep the LED wiring as short as possible.
• To comply with the EMC regulations run the secondary wires
(LED module) in parallel.
• Secondary switching is not permitted.
• The LED Driver has no inverse-polarity protection on the secondary side.
Wrong polarity can damage LED modules with no inverse-polarity
protection.
• Wrong wiring of the LED Driver can lead to malfunction or irreparable
damage.
• To avoid the damage of the Driver, the wiring must be protected against
short circuits to earth (sharp edged metal parts, metal cable clips, louver,
etc.).

6.2 OEM GTIN
The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) can set his own Global Trade
Item Number (GTIN).

6.3 Luminaire data
This function provides the asset management with accurate data about the
luminaire.
DALI Part 251: Memory bank 1 extension.
6.4 Device operating mode
A Tridonic Driver supports several control signals.
These control signals are automatically detected and the mode is adapted.
If only one special device mode is required, this mode can be selected.
“Automatic detection” is the default setting.
6.6 corridorFUNCTION
With the corridorFUNCTION and a commercially available motion detector,
it is easy to adapt the lighting in one area to its use.
That is, when the area is entered by a person, the lighting dims instantly to
the desired brightness and is available in full strength.
After the area is left by the person, the brightness dims slowly to a smaller
value or switches off completely.
The individual parameters of the desired profile, such as brightness values or
delay times, can be adjusted flexibly and individually.
6.7 Constant Light Output (CLO)
With this function the light output of the LED module can be kept equal over
the lifetime.
The light output of an LED module reduces over the course of its lifetime.
The Constant Light Output (CLO) function compensates for this
natural decline by constantly increasing the output current of the LED Driver
throughout its lifetime.
CLO shall be achieved by limitation of the LED current at the commissioning
of the LED Driver and providing a linear interpolation of the current over the
time, depending on the data points given by the user.
6.5 switchDIM
Integrated switchDIM function allows a direct connection of a pushbutton for
dimming and switching.
Brief push (< 0.6 s) switches LED Driver ON and OFF. The dimm level is
saved at power-down and restored at power-up. When the pushbutton
is held, LED modules are dimmed. After repush the LED modules are
dimmed in the opposite direction.
In installations with LED Drivers with different dimming levels or opposite
dimming directions (e.g. after a system extension), all LED Drivers can be
synchronized to 50 % dimming level by a 10 s push.
Use of pushbutton with indicator lamp is not permitted.
switchDIM 2
Version 2 has now the possibility to define different fade times used for short
button press events. So the fade time to set memory level (if wake-up from
standby) as well as the fade time to switch off can now be configured.

Data sheet 10/21-LC895-1
LED Driver
Constant voltage
The LED Driver is designed to operate on DC voltage and pulsed DC voltage.
For a reliable operation, make sure that also in DC emergency operation the
LED Driver is run within the specified power range.
Light output level in DC operation: programmable 1 – 100 %
(factory default = 15 %, EOFu = 0.13).
The voltage-dependent input current of Driver incl. LED module is
depending on the used load.
The voltage-dependent no-load current of Driver (without or defect LED
module) is for:
AC: < 25.2 mA
DC: < 1.13 mA
In DC operation dimming mode can be activated.
If Dimming on DC is activated the requirements of the DC recognition
function are ignored.
Even if DC is detected, the LED Driver continues to behave as in AC mode
• The present dimming level is retained
• An emergency light level defined for the DC recognition function
(DC level) is ignored
• Control signals via DALI continue to be executed
If Dimming on DC is activated then emergency mode is not recognised.
The device no longer automatically switches to the emergency light level.
6.13 Power-up fading
The power-up function offers the opportunity to modify the on behavior.
The time for fading on can be adjusted in a range of 0.2 to 16 seconds.
According to this value, the device dims from 0 % up to the power-on level.
By factory default no fading time is set (= 0 seconds).
6.12 fade2zero
When the Driver is switched off, fade2zero allows a smooth dimming down to
almost zero.
Activate the fade2zero function when programming with companionSUITE
and set a DALI fade time. fade2zero only works if the minimum dimming
level of the Driver is the default value.
The device then dims to far below the limit of its working window (dimming
range).
This function is deactivated by default.
6.8 DC operation
In emergency light systems with a central battery supply the DC recognition
function uses the input voltage to detect if emergency mode is present.
The LED Driver then automatically switches to DC mode and dims the light
to the defined DC level.
Without DC recognition different and more complex solutions would have to
be applied in order to detect emergency mode.
DC recognition is integrated in the device as standard.
No additional commissioning is necessary for activation.
This is a safety-relevant parameter.
The setting is relevant for the dimensioning of the central battery
system.
6.9 Enhanced power on level (ePOL)
The Enhanced Power On Level parameter defines the power level that is set
automatically when power is restored after a power failure.
The Enhanced Power On Level can be set to a fixed value (0 – 100 %) or can
recall the memory value.
The memory value is the last value the LED Driver was set to before the
power failure.
This value applies not only in DALI device operating mode, but also in the
device operating mode switchDIM.
6.10 DALI default parameters
In order for all luminaires to react the same for each operation (switching,
dimming, scene recall ...), these values must be set the same.
These DALI standard parameters are supported by every DALI-2 device.
6.11 Scenes and groups
Each device can be a member of up to 16 groups.
Also, 16 different scene values can be stored in each device.
6.14 Dimming curve
DALI:
The desired dimming behaviour is selected via two different dimming curves
(logarithmic or linear).
The default setting of the dimming behaviour is logarithmic.
6.15 deviceKEY
This function enables a password protection for device settings to prevent
unauthorized access or changes.

7.2 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.
The LED Driver is declared as inbuilt LED controlgear, meaning it is intended
to be used within a luminaire enclosure.
If the product is used outside a luminaire, the installation must provide
suitable protection for people and environment (e.g. in illuminated ceilings).
7.1 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
1 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 2 MΩ.
As an alternative, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a test of the electrical
strength with 1500 V AC (or 1.414 x 1500 V DC). To avoid damage to the electronic
devices this test must not be conducted.
7. Miscellaneous
7.4 Additional information
Additional technical information at www.tridonic.com →Technical Data
Lifetime declarations are informative and represent no warranty claim.
No warranty if device was opened.
7.3 Maximum number of switching cycles
All LED Driver are tested with 50,000 switching cycles.
The actually achieved number of switching cycles is significantly higher.
7. Protective features
7.2 Intelligent Voltage Guard (IVG)
The Intelligent Voltage Guard (IVG) function warns of possible damage due
to overvoltage or undervoltage.
The mains voltage is constantly monitored and if necessary appropriate
responses are made:
• If the mains voltage is too low (< 70 V), the LED Driver is switched off.
• At a mains voltage between 70 and 140 V, the LED Driver switches off and
on again on a non-cyclic basis.
• In case of an overvoltage (> 318 V), the LED Driver sends feedback via
DALI.
7.6 Insulation between terminals
7.3 Short-circuit behaviour
In case of a short-circuit at the LED output the LED output is switched off.
After restart of the LED Driver the output will be activated again. The restart
can either be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI, DSI, switchDIM,
ready2mains)
7.5 Overload protection
If the maximum load is exceeded by a defined internal limit, the LED Driver
turns off the LED output. After restart of the LED Driver the output will be
activated again.
The restart can either be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI, DSI,
switchDIM, ready2mains).
7.4 No-load operation
The LED Driver 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.
7.1 Intelligent temperature guard (ITG)
The Intelligent temperature guard (ITG) function provides effective protec-
tion against thermal overloads by slowly reducing the output if a defined
internal temperature is exceeded.
The reduction of overtemperatures takes place in small steps every two
minutes. As soon as the temperature drops again, the output power is gradu-
ally increased every 10 minutes.
On DC operation this function is deactivated to fulfill emergency
requirements.
