EcoSystem® Lighting Control System On-site System Startup
EcoSystem On-site System Startup 1 03.12.09
Overview:
EcoSystem is a revolutionary lighting control system comprised of digital electronic dimming ballasts, controls,
and environmental sensors. EcoSystem can generate energy savings of 50% to 70%, increase occupant
comfort, improve space flexibility, and reduce maintenance costs. EcoSystem can also work together with the
security, HVAC, and other building management systems to provide the appropriate lighting for every situation.
EcoSystem is programmed using the handheld EcoSystem programmer. Using a stylus, users make on screen
selections and transmit programming instructions to the system.
Standard EcoSystem Start-up 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 field engineers 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.
– Unless otherwise noted, a rough calibration will be performed at system start-up. Final calibration is the
responsibility of the end-user since it is very dependent on furniture placement, HVAC operation, and space
usage.
• Daylight Sensors to Include:
– Verification of proper installation and operation.
– 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 ft. cd. minimum light levels at a height of 30 in. off of the floor, or as close to this specifica-
tion 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 Start-up Details:
• A Lutron factory certified technician performs all system start-up 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 start-up was included by the
system provider.
• Lutron requires ten (10) business days notice to schedule a start-up date. Shorter notices may incur expedite
fees.
