Technical data sheet for Tridonic ECO Series digital dimmable ballasts for fluorescent lamps, covering specifications, wiring, and features.
This document is a data sheet for the Tridonic ECO Series of digital dimmable ballasts designed for use with TC-L and T5c fluorescent lamps. The ballasts feature processor-controlled noise-free operation via DSI signals, switchDIM, or corridorFUNCTION, and include integrated SMART-Interface capabilities for intelligent temperature and voltage guarding.
| Power input on standby | < 0.5 W |
|---|---|
| Protective hot restart | 0.5 s for AC / 0.2 s for DC |
| Dimming range | 1 – 100 % |
| Operating frequency | ~40 – 100 kHz |
| Life | 50,000 h |
| Height | 21 mm |
| Mains voltage (AC) | 220–240 V 50/60 Hz |
| Mains voltage (DC) | 220–240 V 0 Hz |
The interfaces include DSI, switchDIM with memory function and selectable dimming rate, and corridorFUNCTION with 3 preprogrammed profiles.
The dimming range is 1 % to 100 %, with lamp start possible from 1 %.
It protects the ballast from thermal overheating by reducing output power or switching off if operation exceeds thermal limits, typically operating at about 5 to 10 °C above the thermal limit.
