1.1.3 Reliability/Safety
Reliability and safety play a crucial role in the use of electronic control
gear. Key features of high-quality ECGs include:
• Preheating of both lamp filaments
• Dependable lamp ignition to an ambient temperature of -20 °C 1
• Dependable lamp operation in the temperature range of -20 °C to
75 °C
• Dependable shutdown of the ECG in the event of a fault and at
"End of Life" (EoL)
• Compliance with all current applicable ECG standards:
• • Safety (EN61347)
• • Performance (EN60929)
• • Harmonic current emissions (EN61000-3-2)
• • Radio interference suppression from 9 kHz to 300 MHz
(EN55015: 2006 + A1:2007)/CDN measurement
• • Immunity (EN61547)
1.1.4 The right control unit for every application
Dimmable ECGs have a very wide range of uses. Some examples of
applications are offices and industrial buildings with light-dependent
control, conference and assembly rooms with lighting for the particu-
lar situation or CAD offices and switch rooms with individually adjust-
able light levels. The core of the lighting system are the dimmable
QUICKTRONIC Intelligent
® ECGs from OSRAM with DALI or 1…10 V
interface (QTi DALI/DIM) for the operation of compact and fluorescent
lamps. These are controlled by a control unit, a sensor or a simple
button/rotary dimmer switch. The choice of the right dimming compo-
nents for controlling the lighting depends on the desired application.
The requirement profile of the dimmable lighting system must, there-
fore, be defined in detail.
