Safety page 1 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.
Safety page 2 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.
Description of functions page 3 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).
Installation page 4 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 minimum spacing shown Fig. Horizontal mounting upside down is not allowed. All vertical mounting orientations are possible.
Installation page 5 Fig. 2: Mounting of the ELC, horizontal orientation 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 connector has to be used (available as accessories): Fig.

Installation page 22 3.3 Comments on the safety functions of the ELC In addition to the safety functions included in all previous ELC-types such as earth fault detection, temperature limit, safe operation in both short-circuit and open circuit at the lamp output, the ELC X-Series includes an additional function in the form of the definite lamp shutdown.
Installation page 23 3.3.2 Initialisation signal Furthermore lamp operation will not be allowed unless +24V are applied to pin X806.3. This is an additional monitoring function for the safe operation of the installation. The status of pin X806.3 is visualized in the [Warning Register] of the PROFIBUS-input-data (see below and paragraph 5.3: Bit 7 {Init Signal Ok}).
Installation page 24 3.4.1 Setting up the PROFIBUS address To set up the address the display and the pertaining SET button are used. The address space extends from 01 to 7D (corresponding to 1 to 125). Each address may be used only once per installation.
