Page 6: Electrical Features
In terms of efficiency, the power factor, THD and dimming range of the iLC CORE drivers are positioned in the high performance segment of the lighting sector. NOTE: The technical specifications of each model and their corresponding data sheets can be viewed and are available for download via the ELT website at www.elt.es/en www.elt.es... -
Page 7: Electrical Insulation
Double Double Double NOTE: When the devices are built into luminaires, the cabling between the different components must observe the insulation class for which these lighting fixtures have been designed, as well as comply with the EN 60598 standard. www.elt.es... -
Page 8: Thermal Characteristics And Lifetime
The iLC CORE control gear can achieve up to a 100,000 hour lifetime depending on the working temperature at point NOTE: Thermal data and the lifetime of each model can be viewed on their corresponding data sheets, available for download via the ELT website at www.elt.es/en... -
Page 9: Protection
While in either of the 2 power reduction modes, if the temperature at tc drops 6ºC lower than its maximum permitted value, the driver will return to its initial normal operating mode. This process is illustrated in the flowchart on the following page: www.elt.es... -
Page 10: Out-Of-Range Mains Voltage Protection
If higher levels of protection are required, external devices can be added to the luminaire or to another point in the street lighting installation. NOTE: Fault conditions and the response of each model can be viewed on their corresponding data sheets, available for download via the ELT website at www.elt.es/en www.elt.es... -
Page 11: Functionalities
The adjustable output current (AOC) is a feature that configures the nominal value of the output current from a driver. The output current value selected is understood to be the nominal value used to achieve 100% of the light level in any of the selected dimming modes that can be programmed within the entire permitted range. www.elt.es... -
Page 12: Led Module Constant Lumen Output (Clo)
LED module lumen output during that period is compensated. The output current value can be assigned in increments of 1% within a range from 0 to 100%, where 100% is the value defined by the AOC. The intervals can be configured in steps of 500 hours. www.elt.es... -
Page 13: Dimming Methods
Dimming is achieved through the amplitude modulation (AM) of the output current, obtaining flicker-free light at each regulation point The main features of each method are explained below. www.elt.es... -
Page 14: 1-10V Mode
10V. This is the 100% level and cannot be configured. The minimum level, however, is obtained by short-circuiting the control terminals or via a signal lower than or equal to 1V. NOTE: Drivers from different manufacturers may produce different responses to the same control signal value. www.elt.es... -
Page 15: Actidim Mode
The driver can be configured in ON/OFF mode where no type of regulation is required. If the user configures the driver with an output current below 350mA by means of the AOC functionality, the driver will enter ON/OFF mode by default and no type of regulation will be allowed. www.elt.es... -
Page 16: Installation
The iLC CORE control gear, classified as “build-to-use” drivers, must be installed inside the luminaire or in other housings that guarantee protection from environmental conditions such as humidity, water, snow, ice and dust. ELT recommends the use of luminaires with a minimum protection rating of IP54, however depending on the application, higher protection levels may be necessary. - Page 17 ▪ In Class I luminaires, the protective earth conductor is strictly compulsory. Connect the protective earth to the chassis and to the internal metal parts. ▪ In Class II luminaires, ELT recommends installing an equipotential connection or a star configuration functional earth conductor between the chassis and every inaccessible conductive element of the lighting fixture, to avoid issues with electromagnetic compatibility and to provide protection against shock waves.
-
Page 18: Protective Switches
The inrush current values of the control gear will reduce, thereby increasing the number of drivers to be connected to each circuit breaker; the lower the voltage, the greater the impedance of the power grid (and vice versa). As such ELT recommends that it is checked for each installation. - Page 19 ▪ Typically a maximum of 35 luminaires can be connected in a 30mA residential single-circuit trip switch. As this maximum number can vary depending on the installation , ELT recommends that this is checked. ▪ The functional earth terminal may not be disconnected from the driver to reduce the leakage current value.
-
Page 20: Electromagnetic Compatibility
▪ Running a cable over or sticking it to the control gear is not recommended. ▪ ELT recommends that the functional earth of every metallic component of the luminaire is connected to the protective earth in Class I luminaires, even though this connection is not designed to protect from electric shocks. -
