EcoSystem® H-Series Ballasts
EcoSystem® H-Series digitally addressable ballasts
provide a low-cost, flexible solution for any space in
any application. Architectural dimming to 1% meets
the needs of the most demanding applications.
Individual control with the EcoSystem
® Digital Link
eliminates the need to rewire, reduces design time,
and provides a scalable solution from a small area to
an entire building.
Features
Continuous, flicker-free dimming from 100% to 1%
for T5, T5HO and T8 lamps
• 100% compatible with all EcoSystem
® controls
CE-marked; ENEC, InMetro, and CCC Certified
Registered under the Consumer Protection
Registration Scheme in Singapore
S-Mark Certified for Argentina
Compatible with GRAFIK Eye
® QS with EcoSystem®
control units, Energi Savr Node
TM with EcoSystem®
unit and Quantum
® software, allowing for integration
into an existing or planned EcoSystem
® lighting
control solution
RoHS Compliant
100% performance tested at factory
100% burned in at factory
Ballast is protected from miswires of any input
power to EcoSystem
® control lead, or from lamp
leads to each other and/or ground
Programmed rapid start design preheats lamp
cathodes before applying full arc voltage to ensure
full-rated lamp life while dimming and cycling
Lamps turn on to any dimmed level without going to
full brightness
Low harmonic distortion throughout the entire
dimming range maintains power quality
Frequency of operation ensures that ballast does
not interfere with infrared devices operating between
38kHz and 42kHz
EcoSystem
® H-Series, case type M
30 mm W x 25 mm H x 359 mm L
Ultra-quiet operation
End-of-lamp-life protection circuitry ensures safe
operation throughout entire lamp life
Nonvolatile memory restores all ballast settings after
power failure

EcoSystem® H-Series Wiring Diagrams
EcoSystem® Digital Link Overview
The EcoSystem
® Digital Link wiring (E1 and E2)
connects the digital ballasts together to form a lighting
control system.
Each EcoSystem
® Digital Link supports up to 64digital
ballasts, 64occupancy sensors, 16daylight sensors,
and 64 wallstations or IR receivers. Refer to each
control specification for specifics on maximum number
of controls per link.
E1 and E2 (EcoSystem
® digital link wires) are polarity
insensitive and can be wired in any topology.
An EcoSystem
® Energi Savr NodeTM module,
GRAFIKEye
®QS with EcoSystem® control unit, or
Quantum
® system provides power for the EcoSystem®
Digital Link and supports system programming.
All EcoSystem
® Digital Link programming is completed by
using the Energi Savr App for Apple iPad, iPod Touch
or iPhone mobile digital devices, GRAFIK Eye
®QS with
EcoSystem
®, or Quantum® systems.

Ballast EcoSystem
® Digital Link terminals accept one

to 1,5mm
2
(18 AWG to 16 AWG) solid copper
wire per terminal.
Make sure that the supply breaker to the Digital Ballast
and EcoSystem
® Digital Link Supply is OFF when
wiring.
Connect the two conductors to the two Digital Ballast
terminals E1 and E2 as shown.
Using two different colors for E1 and E2 will reduce
confusion when wiring several ballasts together.

ATTENTION ELECTRICIANS
AND CONTRACTORS
Ballast/Socket Leads
Lead lengths from ballast to socket must not exceed
2m for T5, T5HO and T8 linear lamps.
Lamp Sockets
Lutron requires that sockets MUST comply with
IEC60400. Prior to installation sockets must be
inspected for marks to ensure compliance with
IEC60400. Two examples of these marks are
E and
Q
. Use only rapid start sockets. DO NOT use instant
start sockets (see LutronR Application Note#122
[P/N 048122] for more information).
Lamp Mounting
For proper lamp performance, lamps must be mounted
at the correct height from the earthed metal surface.
Having a fluorescent lamp too close to the earthed
metal will make the minimum intensity too low and
reduce lamp life. Having a fluorescent lamp too far
away from the earthed metal will make the lamp flicker
or not turn on at all. Refer to the table below for lamp
mounting height requirements.
Lamp Mounting Height Requirements
Lamp Type Lamp Mounting Height
T8 Linear 3,2 to 19,1 mm
T5 Linear 1,6 to 9,5 mm
IMPORTANT: Lamps must never touch ground plane
and should be placed without obstruction.
Ballast Operating Temperature
Ballast t
C
must not exceed 70°C.
Cold Air Flow
Ensure that no cold air (from HVAC system, etc) is
blowing across the lamps. Cooling the lamp may cause
performance issues.
Wiring and Grounding
Ballast and lighting fixture must be effectively grounded.
Ballasts must be installed per national and local
electrical codes.
ATTENTION
FACILITIES MANAGERS
PERFORMANCE
Lamp Seasoning
Prior to dimming lamps, refer to the lamp manufacturer’s
lamp seasoning requirements.
