Ballast operation local operation lamp operation starts on connecting ballast to mains set all DIP switches to ''on'' for standard parameters use DIP switches 2, 3, 4 for parameter adjustment according to environmental conditions: cold: raise lamp current hot: lower lamp current PH boost: increase preheat time Ballast operation remote operation via RS485 using ZCON control units ballast is in standby on connecting to mains lamp operation is started, controlled and monitored via RS485 by ZCON control unit use DIP switch for communication protocol and ballast ID (see 'DIP switch settings for RS485 remote operation' at page 5) refer to the ZCON control units manual for ballast operation details using PLC with ModBus protocol ballast is in standby on connecting to mains lamp operation is started, controlled and monitored via RS485 by PLC use DIP switch for communication protocol and ballast ID (see 'DIP switch settings for RS485 remote operation' at page 5) ModBus implementation of PLC has to be done by customer details concerning ModBus implementation are available on request 4/5
Ballast operation settings remote operation via RS485 default settings: lamp current: (to be specified according to lamp type) preheat current: (to be specified according to lamp type) preheat time: (to be specified according to lamp type) control features specification: device type 15 14 The default settings for lamp current, preheat current and preheat time are defined according to the data of the lamp manufacturer for standard application. Different settings might be used to adjust the lamp parameters to different environmental conditions. Ask lamp manufacturer for boundary conditions of such adjustments. DIP switch settings for RS485 remote operation When remotely controlled via RS485 each ballast needs an unique identifier. This ballast address or ballast ID is to be assigned using the DIP switches 4-10. The appropriate communication protocol, either ZCON or ModBus, is selected via DIP switches 1-3 (see example below). communication protocol switch settings switch settings ballast ID ZCON enabled = 20 1 ModBus enabled = 21 2 = 21 + 20 3 Any DIP switch settings have to be performed before connecting ballast to mains. ballast ID (arithmetic examples)... = 26 + 25+ 24 + 23 + 22 + 21+ 20 127 5/5
