Instruction manual

Wiring must comply with the latest versions of the relevant national
standards. Cable entry through metal components should never be left
unprotected but should be fitted with additional insulation (sleeve, grommet
edge protector etc.)
The body of the luminaire or parts thereof must never be employed as a
conductor or in any way come into contact with mains or lamp cable
conductors (for example as a result of bare cables, too much insulation
stripped away, screws protruding through insulation, or sharp metal edges).
There is a serious risk that a person may be electrocuted and the control
gear damaged beyond repair.
If you are wiring a number of luminaires from a 3 mains supply in a loop
(with 5-core cable, for example), you must also ensure that are never
connected two phases to the ECG mains terminal instead of the group
phase, the neutral conductor and the PE conductor. Otherwise the ECG
may fail immediately or within a short time. (see also section 8.4,
Troubleshooting)
L and N interchangeable (e.g. for mobile luminaires)?
• Yes case labeling ≈ or
• No case labeling L N
3.2 Electromagnetic
Compatibility
The abbreviation EMC stands for ElectroMagnetic Compatibility. EMC
specifications define a series of different test criteria. The most important in
connection with electronic control gear are radio interference suppression,
harmonic content (up to the 39
th
harmonic) and immunity to interference.
IEC International European
standard
Radio interference
suppression
CISPR 15 EN 55015
Harmonic content
IEC 61000-3-2 EN 61000-3-2
Immunity to interference
IEC 61547 EN 61547
The CE symbol on OSRAM QUICKTRONIC control gear indicates
compliance with immunity to interference, harmonic content and radio
interference suppression requirements. By using the CE label OSRAM, as
manufacturer of ECG, confirms the compliance with the requirements of the
sandards (see also Section 2.17.2 CE labeling).
3.2.1 Harmonic Content
acc. to EN 61000-3-2
Lighting equipment is subject to restrictions on harmonics. The maximum
permissible threshold values are defined for two classes of equipment:
• Class C: Effective input power (system wattage) > 25W
• Class D: Effective input power (system wattage) < 25W
The requirements for Class D equipment must be met as of
January 1, 2001.
