Generality

The lighting flux regulator "ELIGHT" series is a power supply system for lighting installations which permits the control and the regulation of the power rates in lighting system. In order to optimise costs and performances daily energy. The main advantage is an uniform level of light, by avoiding the creation of dangerous dark areas, caused by the lamps that are kept off, in order to save energy. The stabilization and the regulation of the voltage combined with the possibility to programme the switching-up and the power reduction cycles (according to the different installations), assure the correct powering of every kind of light installation. The microprocessor based control unit allows the gradual variation of the voltage and permits a custom use of lighting systems.
The system can be programmed:

¥ directly using the keyboard;
¥ with remote management system.

It's possible to control the installation by using a light sensor to obtain a lighting flux in relation to day-light intensity level. For example at the entrance or at the exit of tunnels it becomes a necessity to regulate the level of light of the lamps according to the outside light intensity, avoiding in that way dangerous dazzlings. This system has a large range of applications, it is extremely flexible an suitable both for simple plants and sophisticated installation connected to a remote control system.

Reducing of the management costs
Using the flux regulator, the duration of the lamps is more than doubled.
Several tests have been conducted on different installations and the average life of lamps is resulted to be 16/18000 hours.
We will have:
¥ Reduction of the costs for energy up to 50% thanks to the regulation and stabilization of the voltage.
¥ Reduction of the costs for maintenance more than 50% thank to the extended life of the lamps.

Operating cycle
Upon the power-on of the system, the regulator "ELIGHT" automatically starts the switching up cycle to a voltage of 210V in order to avoid the initial thermal shock on the lamps and to have an optimum and lineal warming up of the light bulbs for a time of 10 minutes (programmable from 0 up to 20 minutes).
Once the initial phase is completed, the regulator will power the system at the nominal preset voltage (normally 220V).
The shift to reduced power can be programmed or can be activated by an external control. During all day (24h) it is possible to program 4 different phases of powering reduction all with different voltages programmable from the 210V to 175V. In all the phases the output voltages are always stabilized with extreme accuracy: maximum 1,5% of the programmed voltage.
