Onsite Startup
Lighting Control System
EcoSystem
®
Overview:
EcoSystem
® is a revolutionary lighting control system comprised of digital electronic dimming ballasts,
controls, and environmental sensors. EcoSystem® systems can generate energy savings of 50% to 70%,
increase occupant comfort, improve space flexibility, and reduce maintenance costs. EcoSystem® systems
can also work together with the security, HVAC, and other building management systems to provide
the appropriate lighting for every situation. EcoSystem® systems are programmed using the handheld
EcoSystem® programmer. Using a stylus, users make on screen selections and transmit programming
instructions to the system.
EcoSystem
® System Startup includes:
Verification that the system is installed according to Lutron specifications.
Wall Controls/Interfaces to Include:
- Ballast addressing.
- Verification of proper wiring and operation of control link.
- Set-up of controls to function as per approved submittal drawings. If no control functionality is included, controls
will be programmed according to written instructions from end user or end users representative, contractor, or
will be set up based on the Lutron Service Representative’s past experience, in that order of priority.
- Testing of all buttons and IR inputs to assure proper operation.
Occupancy Sensors to Include:
- Verification of proper installation and operation. If a sensor is not installed in accordance with Lutron
procedures, Lutron will not continue Startup activities until the installation issues are corrected.
- Unless otherwise noted, a rough calibration will be performed at system Startup. Final calibration is the
responsibility of the end user since it is very dependent on furniture placement, HVAC operation, and
space usage. Lutron will not fine-tune occupancy sensors to detect minor movements in the space or to
not detect motion that contributes to false-trips.
Daylight Sensors to Include:
- Verification of proper installation and operation. If a sensor is not installed in accordance with Lutron
procedures, Lutron will not continue Startup activities until the installation issues are corrected.
- A preliminary calibration will be performed at system start-up. Unless specifications are provided to the
Lutron technician prior to beginning calibration of daylighting feature, the system will be programmed to the
following specification: 50 fc minimum light levels at a height of 30 in (76 cm) off of the floor, or as close
to this specification as lighting conditions permit. Final adjustments may need to be made by the end user
if the lighting or job site conditions are unfavorable for calibration during the site visit (calibration is very
dependent upon furniture placement, window treatments, outside weather conditions and space usage).
Additional Startup Details:
A Lutron Service Representative performs all system Startup items.
One visit to the job site during normal business hours. This is one visit between the hours of 7 AM and
5 PM on a Monday through Friday that is not a Lutron Holiday.
This visit may require multiple days, depending on the size of the system.
Visits can be made outside of these hours for an additional charge. (See LSC-AH-SU)
Phased construction projects requiring multiple visits should verify that a phased Startup was included by
the system provider.
Lutron requires a notice of fifteen (15) business days to schedule a Startup date. Shorter notices may incur
expedite fees.
All terminations will be done by the installing agency prior to Startup visit. A person from the installing agency
needs to be present for the Startup. This person should be familiar with the installation of the system.

Note: Daylighting calibration will be performed during the Startup visit to the greatest extent possible given
the lighting conditions present during this visit. Final adjustments may need to be made by the end user if the
lighting or jobsite conditions are unfavorable for calibration during the site visit (calibration is very dependent
upon furniture placement, window treatments, outside weather conditions, and space usage). Additional site
visits to adjust daylighting calibration will be an additional charge.
End User Training on Overall System Operation:
This system is not typically sold with a separate visit for the training of the end user. Check with purchasing
agent if this is required. (See LSC-TRAINING.)
It is the responsibility of the person scheduling the Startup to ensure the appropriate end users are present
for system training. Lutron typically does not have these contacts.
Video media is not provided by Lutron for training sessions. This may be provided by “others” for turnover to
the end user or job site documentation.
System demonstration and sign-off by the end user.
