ICL INRUSH CURRENT LIMITER
An ICL can help avoid nuisance MCB tripping and can be installed between the MCB
and the load. It also enables an increase the luminaire quantity up to the maximum
RMS current limit of the Inrush Current Limiter.

Valoya only recommend using MCB’s with “Type C” trip characteristics according to EN 60898.

INRUSH CURRENT
This is the initial current surge drawn during product start-up. Total inrush current rises as the circuit load
increases and is one factor that can contribute to nuisance tripping of circuit breakers (MCB’s).
Practical performance will be affected by the MCB load, MCB tripping characteristics, site wiring impedance,
and the angle of the AC mainscycle at the specific moment power is applied.
Nuisance tripping issues may be improved by:
• Reducing the quantity of LED drivers connected to a single MCB.
• Re-distributing the load over multiple mains phases.
• Using an MCB with Type C (EN 60898) tripping characteristics.
• Installing additional inrush current limiting devices.
• Installing a zero crossing relay for powering up the LED drivers.
The maximum quantity of Valoya products recommended for a 16A Type C MCB is stated on the product’s
technical specifications datasheet (e.g installation guide). This quantity is used as the 100% reference in the
table below. The table is provided as a tool to enable calculation of the approximate maximum load for different
MCB types and ratings. Installation wiring rating, impedances and mains switch-on angle variations may also
influence the actual practical limit.

Electrical Recommendations
RCDS (RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICES)
SURGE PROTECTORS
3-PHASE SUPPLIES
INSULATION RESISTANCE/ ELECTRIC STRENGTH
TESTING
An RCD is a protective safety device used to automatically disconnect
the electrical supply when an imbalance is detected between live
conductors. Requirements for use, and the needed RCD rating, will
vary depending on the type of installation. Valoya luminaires are
designed to be installed in fixed electrical installations where no plug
is permitted for connecting the luminaire to the mains supply.
Valoya LED drivers have built-in surge protection. However, to protect
against surge peaks above 4KV (e. g. Due to a lightning strike) we
recommend the installation of transient voltage surge suppression.
• Do not apply power without the Neutral connected.
• Ensure the supply is off before disconnecting the Neutral.
• To avoid erratic dimming or possible product damage, do not
connect the same dimmer or controller to luminaires supplied by
different mains phases.
• Valoya products have been fully tested during manufacture.
There is no need to test again.
• If the electrical site wiring must be tested, test with the luminaires
and LED drivers disconnected from the mains supply.
• If luminaires and LED drivers are connected to the mains supply
during the test, all Live phases and Neutral must be connected
together before the test is carried out (Remember to check cor-
rect reconnection before reapplying the mains supply).

Dimming Guide
DIMMING METHODS
Differences in dimming methods exist depending on the LED driver (power unit) used by the Valoya luminaire.
• 1-10V: Minimum dimmed light output is approximately 10% (Spectra dependent). The mains supply to the
driver must be switched in order to turn the light on & off.
• 0-10V: Minimum dimmed light output is approximately 6% (Spectra dependent). Below this the light out-
put is off without the need for mains switching.
DIMMING POSSIBILITIES BY PRODUCT RANGE
BX-Series BL-Series L-Series C-Series RX-Series
1-10V - - 0-10V 0-10V
DIMMING CONTROL COMPATIBILITY
LED drivers used by Valoya comply with
International standard for current sink controls;
IEC 60929 Annex E. This specifies that the LED
driver is a current source device. Compatible
controls MUST be capable of sinking the current
provided by the LED driver. Controls supplying a
10V signal ARE NOT compatible.

Important considerations when choosing a controller
• Please check with you controller provider regarding the specification of the device.
• The number of luminaires possible to connect to a single control device will depend its specification,
specifically:
• The dimming method (1-10V or 0-10V).
• The control circuit current sink capability.
• Mains switch inrush current capacity.
• Dimming controls should only be connected to LED drivers on the same mains phase. Cross
phase connection may lead to differing control circuitry electrical potentials, reduced dimming
performance, or permanent damage to LED drivers

Care & Maintenance
CLEANING
BASIC FAULT FINDING
Lighting faults can be due to a rare product defect, connection error, or other external issue. Faults are unlikely
to affect both luminaire and the LED driver (power unit) together. If possible, please check if the issue is luminaire
or LED driver related. This will speed problem resolution and minimize unnecessary shipping costs.
• Switch off the mains supply.
• Disconnect the luminaire from its LED driver.
• Connect the luminaire to an unpowered, working LED driver (if available).
• Connect the mains supply to the working LED driver.
• If the problem remains, then the luminaire may be damaged.
• If the luminaire now works, then the original LED driver, or mains supply to it may be at fault.
• Note details of the problem (product type, quantity, problem description…) and contact Valoya for further
assistance.

If a problem reoccurs or affects many products at the same time, please contact Valoya (www.valoya.com/
support) for further advice and assistance.
CLEANING
Switch the supply OFF Allow to cool Do not use detergent
Clean with a soft brush Wipe with soft clothes
IP67 rated products.
Suitable for spray cleaning with
water or appropriate cleansing
solutions*
*Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) can be used for the cleaning of LEDs. If other cleansing solutions to be used, their
appropriateness must be tested beforehand. Cleansing solutions with CFCs (chlorofluoro-carbons) should not
be used.
NOTE: Power supply must be switched off and luminaire must be in an unpowered state when spray or wet
cleaning is used.
