GENERAL
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ENSURES A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR SYSTEM OPERATION. SOME INTERACTION BETWEEN HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIRES A HIGH LEVEL OF INTEGRATION AND COMPATIBILITY.
A.
Typical dimming equipment is rated for 40 degrees C (104 degrees F). This is the maximum ambient temperature that can exist while the dimming equipment is operating at full load conditions. The following statement ensures that the operating equipment is designed to operate at worst case environmental conditions without affecting product life.
B.
Electrostatic charge builds up on people as a result of friction (walking across a carpet). When a person touches an electronic device, a discharge can occur and cause damage. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) testing is done according to the IEC 801-2 standard (human body model). Testing should be completed on all user accessible points such as terminal blocks, buttons, and control inputs. The standard listed below describe only how to conduct this test, that is why it is important to specify “without impairment of performance” as the pass/fail criteria.
C.
DIMMER PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS ARE TYPICALLY THE COMPONENT MOST SENSITIVE TO HEAT IN A DIMMING CIRCUIT. THEIR EXPECTED LIFETIME DOUBLES FOR EVERY 10 DEGREES C THAT THE COMPONENT OPERATES BELOW THE MANUFACTURER’S RATED OPERATING TEMPERATURE.
A.
Dimming equipment is exposed to peak currents much higher than rated operating current due to tungsten inrush, magnetic inrush, and lamp burnout. If not designed to handle this inrush/surge condition, the equipment could fail at anytime when turned on or when lamps fail. The following two statements (Thyristors & Dimmers/Relays) ensure reliability of components.
B.
C. Capable of withstanding repetitive inrush current of 50 times operating current without impacting lifetime of dimmer/relay.
A surge protector is sold as an accessory to a computer purchase to protect it from lighting strikes or other voltage surges. Likewise, dimmer circuits require surge protection. Surge protection can be built into a dimmer circuit or it can be purchased separately as an external accessory. The following statement ensures that the surge protection is built into the dimming system.
D.
Other power handling devices installed on a branch circuit (far from electrical service entrance points) need to survive a Category C near lightning strike without failure.
1.
When off, the semiconductor in a dimmer circuit can allow leakage current to the load creating the possibility for an electrical shock. It is common for this leakage current to exceed 5 milliamps (the UL limit for a GFCI outlets). Using an air gap eliminates leakage current by requiring a physical disconnect in the off position to prevent electric shock when servicing the load.
E.
Power dropouts can occur frequently. The momentary interruption of power should not cause extended periods without lighting or require some manual intervention to reset the lighting system.
F.
1. All programmable information, including system identification codes, addresses, and master control button programming to be retained in non-volatile memory and to remain intact in the case of a 10 year power loss to the system.
G. Dimmers/Fan Controls:
1. Line Voltage Dimmers; Meet following load-specific requirements:
a. Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV) transformer:
Magnetic transformers are susceptible to overheating caused by asymmetrical input voltages. The following design requirements prevent magnetic low voltage transformers from operating above rated current and temperature under normal conditions or component failure.
1)
2) Dimmers using back-to-back SCR construction that could fail open causing DC power to flow into magnetic low voltage load are not acceptable.
b. Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) transformer:
Electronic transformers are susceptible to damage and audible noise issues if used with improper dimming wave forms. Most electronic transformers require a reverse phase control wave form. Transformer manufacturers should be able to provide detailed information on dimming requirements.
1)
c. Neon and cold cathode transformers:
There are both high power factor and low power factor transformers. Dimming is only applicable on the low power factor transformers. Attempting to dim high power factor transformers can damage both the transformer and dimmer, and generate electrical noise on building’s electrical supply that interferes with other equipment.
1)
Electronic transformer technology is continually evolving. At this time Lutron does not recommend any electronic neon transformers for dimming applications. Lutron continues to evaluate products as they become available on the market. Please consult with your Lutron representative for the latest technologies.
2)
For fluorescent control systems consisting of different brands, consider requiring that the ballast manufacturer troubleshoot and diagnose problems after General Contractor’s “Correction after Completion” period expires.

7. Determine which system components are within range of sending radio frequency communications to the repeater.
8. Derive power from a UL listed class 2 transformer.
9. Time clock
a. Allow events to be programmed to occur without user intervention at specified times during the day in with relation to sunrise/sunset. Sunrise and sunset times will be calculated by specifying the latitude and longitude of the location of the system.
b. Time-clock schedules can be single or periodic events based on absolute time or relative to sunrise/sunset.
The integral temperature compensated time clock ensures that all automatic functions occur at the correct time. Computer time clocks are inherently unreliable and should not be used. Time clocks with a large time drift (greater than 2 minutes per year) require regular maintenance.
c.
10. Away Mode
Away mode can be initiated so that system lighting control dimmers can be activated while the user is away to give the residence an occupied look.
a.
11. Security Mode
a. Shall incorporate a programmable security mode event that may be triggered by a RS232 command, or Ethernet Ethernet command, or contact closure input.
1) Security mode event will allow each dimmer or switch to be either forced to full on or to be flashed and keypads to be disabled.
2) An RS232, Ethernet command, or contact closure event may disengage security mode event. It may also be automatically disengaged after a predetermined amount of time.
3) After security mode event is exited, the system shall return to the previous state.
B. Integrate control station devices and external inputs/outputs into single customizable, multiple failsafe lighting control system, operable manually or automatically.
Electrical equipment is subjected to surges such as lightning strikes during the life of the building. Unless the equipment is protected, these strikes will damage the equipment. ANSI/IEEE has defined the expected surges that will be seen by buildings located throughout North America. The processor is installed on a branch circuit and needs to survive a Category C near lightning strike without impairment to performance.
C.
Power dropouts can occur frequently. The momentary interruption of power should not cause extended periods without lighting or require some manual intervention to reset the lighting system.
D.
E. Multiple Main Repeater systems to operate under single database
This allows the system to be integrated with other building management systems.
F.
G. Full internal backup capable of storing all system memory for minimum of 10 years without power and automatically returning system to its previous state.
Systems that require a computer to run the time clock function or run the system database rely on the computer to be operational. If the computer stops working, the entire lighting system stops working. The following statement ensures that the lighting system works during a computer failure.

h.
1) For temporary local overrides, individual raise/lower buttons to allow zones to be adjusted without altering scene values stored in memory.]
Control of digital fluorescent dimming ballasts requires the ability to address, program, and assign zone and sensor control to the digital fluorescent loads. Doing so, can be achieved directly from the integral power and control module. Direct control of 120V, 277V and/or 220/240V lighting usually requires a power interface that couples both power and control. With the integral digital ballast control output, no additional interfaces are required.

b. Allow copying of programming from one master control to another.
c. LEDs glow at a nightlight level when lights assigned to each button are off.
Time delays inherent in large systems can cause short delays between button press and system confirmation. To avoid any confusion and preventing multiple button presses, keypads should immediately show that the button has been pressed for visual confirmation.
d.
There are two types of keypads; those that only send signals and those that send and receive signals. Having the latter type allows feedback to the user to verify that the request has been received and processed. If the lighting control system fails to process the button press request, the LED will turn off to indicate the true system status.
e.
Controls can be programmed with different functionality through system software without any hardware changes.
f.
Unlike traditional scene control wall stations, centralized low voltage controls can be programmed so that the buttons can have a variety of functions.
2.
a. Control station device LEDs to support logic that defines when it is illuminated:
1) Scene logic (logic is true when all zones are at defined levels).
2) Room logic (logic is true when at least one zone is on).
3. Color:
Edit the following to indicate desired color. For non-NEMA colors, color match coordination will be provided on request. Please verify that your word format for item 2 below is “Delta” E “equals” 1, CIE L “asterisk” a “asterisk” b color units. See INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON ILLUMINATION home page at:

Include this section if you want control over the system through external inputs such as contact closure, Ethernet, RS232, and IR, etc.
THIS ENABLES THE LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM TO RECEIVE A CONTROL SIGNAL FROM ANOTHER SYSTEM (BMS, FIRE, SECURITY, ETC).
A.
1. Where contact closures are used to integrate between lighting controls and other systems:
a. Input open circuit voltage not to exceed 36V.
b. Input short circuit current not to exceed 0.5 mA.
Dry contact closures are used at low voltage and low current applications to ensure reliable switching. This application requires a dry contact mechanical switch. Using any other switch may produce unreliable operation.
c.
Alternatively to dry contacts which are a mechanical device with a certain cycle life expectancy, solid state contacts can be used which do not have this mechanical “wear out” mechanism.
d.
Solid state contact closures have certain non-ideal characteristics that may cause unreliable detection of the state of the switch. One characteristic is when the solid state contact is in the “off” state, there is a leakage current that may cause the input device to read it as a closure. Another characteristic is when the solid state contact is in the “on” state, there is an output voltage that may cause the input device to read it as an open condition.
1)
2) Output on-state saturation voltage not to be less than 2V.
To provide installation flexibility the contact closure input device should accept both momentary and maintained contacts. This alleviates coordination issues between the different divisions in the specification.
e.
