4DIMLT2 LED drivers | Introduction

1 Introduction
1.1 OSRAM LED drivers with 4DIM functionality
for outdoor and industrial applications
Long lifetime, low maintenance costs and high efficiency
are very important for outdoor and industrial applications.
OPTOTRONIC LED drivers for outdoor applications meet
these requirements and unlock the full potential of LED-
based light sources.

Thanks to the high flexibility of the programmable

OPTOTRONIC 4DIMLT2 LED drivers, LED luminaire sys-
tems can be optimally adapted to the required conditions
and their cost can be optimized. With the four integrated
dimming functions (4DIM), significant energy savings and
a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved.

The standardized DALI interface allows for the simple inte-

gration into telemanagement systems (for example with the
OSRAM Street Light Control system) and also a harmo-
nized control of the output light level in contrast to a 010V
interface. Moreover, these LED drivers already fulfill the new
stand-by requirements that will become effective in Europe
in 2016.

Due to the large operating window (voltage/current) of

these LED drivers, both OSRAM LED modules for outdoor
applications and customer-specific LED modules can be
operated. This also means that the overall amount of
different LED drivers on stock can be kept low and that
the overall complexity of luminaire maintenance over the
entire life cycle can be reduced.

With the LEDset2 interface, OSRAM has created a new

path towards standardizing the communication between
the LED driver and the LED modules. Without reprogram-
ming, LEDset2 ensures optimal efficiency, a high level of
reliability and the adaptability of the LED drivers to the
latest LED technologies.

Finally, due to integrated overvoltage protection, LED

drivers with 4DIM functionality also set a new standard
against common mode surges of up to 10kV (single pulse)
for class I and II luminaires.

Warning:

bility and safety of the module needs to be checked. In
case the set operating current multiplied with the tuning

2.2.2 Internal LED driver temperature protection

4DIMLT2 LED drivers also have a reversible internal thermal
protection. If the maximum tc temperature is exceeded, the
LED driver starts derating the output current down to 30 %
for AC supply voltage. If the temperature keeps increasing,
the LED driver switches off. It switches back on at the max-
imum allowed tc temperature.

Note:
To achieve the lifetime data of the driver, the luminaire
manufacturer needs to ensure that the maximum tc
temperature is never exceeded.

2.3 Constant lumen function Figure 17: Constant lumen function

Over the lifetime of an LED module, the light output drops possible savings
due to the aging process of the LEDs. To achieve a con-
stant light output of the module, the LED driver stores the
operating hours of the LED module and increases the
output current to react to the light output drop. To set this
feature according to the applied LED module, the Tuner-
4TRONIC software can be used as shown, for example,
infigures 15 and 16.

Figure 15: Constant lumen programming table

The exact values for programming the constant lumen

function for the connected LED module need to be ob-
tained from the corresponding LED supplier.

2.4 Lamp operating time

Figure 16: Constant lumen programming graph The LED driver monitors the operating hours of the con-
(operating time = 10 kh) nected LED module. In case of a fault of the LED driver or
module, the lamp operating time has to be (re)set accord-
ingly with the Tuner4TRONIC software. The lamp operat-
ing time also has an influence on the constant lumen func-
tion and the end of life feature. It can be set using the
Tuner4TRONIC software as shown in figure 18.

In the AstroDIM PD (DALI) dimming mode, it is possible to
override the dimming profile of AstroDIM with the presence
detection settings triggered by an external sensor (e.g. mo-
tion or presence sensor) that is connected to the SD(2) port.
The sensor must support the electrical characteristics of
the SD(2) port.

3.3.2 StepDIM inverse

For the StepDIM inverse (DALI) mode, the behavior is
inverted. If the switch (S2) is opened and the SD(2) port is
floating (SD inactive), the output level is set to the SD level.
If a phase voltage is applied to the SD(2) port (SD active),
the output level is set to the nominal level.

3.3.3 StepDIM inverse, autodetect

In the StepDIM inverse, autodetect (DALI) mode, the LED
driver automatically detects if it is used in a simple on/off
environment or in a StepDIM inverse installation. If a valid
high signal (SD active) is detected at the SD(2) port for
longer than 20 minutes, the LED driver automatically
switches to the StepDIM inverse mode.

This feature allows minimizing the number of different lumi-

naire configurations and keeps the stock lean.

Example:
In some parts of StepDIM installations (e.g. roundabouts
or pedestrian crossings), the light output of the installed
fixtures should not be reduced during the night. With the
autodetect feature, all LED drivers can be programmed
with the same settings: While the on/off fixtures (SD(2) port
not connected) still provide the full light output, the others
perform the requested dimming profile.

3.3.4 Mixed StepDIM installations with 3DIM and

4DIMLT2 LED drivers
Due to improvements in the circuit robustness of the
StepDIM port of the 4DIMLT2 LED drivers compared to
the previous 3DIM generation, it is not possible to operate
3DIM and 4DIMLT2 LED drivers on the same SD line
without an additional relay on the SD port of the 3DIM
drivers.

As mentioned in the 3DIM application guide, it is necessary

to install an additional relay in mixed installations to sepa-
rate the SD port of the 3DIM driver from the pilot or control
line (see figure 39). This is also valid for drivers whose con-
trol port for the pilot line is not referenced to N (see unkown
ECG in figure 39).

3.4 MainsDIM feature

The reduction of the mains amplitude is partly used for the
dimming of conventional lamps. In the MainsDIM operating
mode, the output current of the LED driver depends on the
mains input voltage. Standard electronic drivers compen-
sate for fluctuations in the input voltage and do not support
this function. No additional control wires are needed in this
dimming mode (see figure 40).

Figure 41: MainsDIM sample programming

Note:
To increase the light output stability against small voltage
fluctuations, a minimum voltage difference of 5 V from the
start voltage is necessary to trigger the dimming of the
LED driver. The triggering of the dimming is performed with
a delay time of approximately 1 to 2 seconds. The setting
of the thresholds should also consider the voltage drop in
the real installation due to cable and contact resistance.

3.5 DALI operating mode

For DALI operation, the 4DIMLT2 LED driver is connected
to the mains and to a DALI controller (e.g. Street Light Con-
trol system) or DALI bus (see figure 42). The additional DALI
wires can be installed alongside the mains wires.

drivers in DC operation.
The lighting can be switched on/off and dimmed via the
DALI control line. A logarithmic (default) or linear dimming
curve can be set. Additional status information can be read
out and exchanged between the LED driver and the control
unit.

The DALI mode always has the highest priority. The LED driver
switches to the DALI operating mode as soon as a valid DALI
command is received. The DALI mode is maintained until
the next power-off/on cycle.

The dimming behavior is set to the logarithmic dimming

curve by default.

Note:
The 4DIMLT2 family does not support the OSRAM Touch
DIM functionality.

If the output level falls below the minimum physical dim-
ming level, the minimum physical dimming level is used by

4DIMLT2 LED drivers | Programming

5 Programming
4DIMLT2 LED drivers can be programmed using the Tuner- Performance check:
4TRONIC software together with the hardware program- If electronically controlled control gears are combined with
mer DALI magic. This software consists of the following electrical power supplies, the electronic circuits of both
software packages: devices might influence each other.
T4T Development
T4T Production This could lead to wrong measurements (e.g. lower power
T4T Dynamic Link Library (DLL) factor compared to the mains grid). In order to avoid these
T4T Command Line Version effects, a mains filter should be installed after the electrical
power supply.
After registration, the software can be downloaded from
the www.myosram.com portal.

4DIMLT2 LED drivers need to be powered during program-

ming. They need to be supplied either with the mains input
voltage (case A) or with an SELV DC voltage (case B). The
low voltage allows for safe programming without the need
for additional precautions during production.

Warning:
In case of partial programming, the SELV DC voltage (case B)
needs to be applied to the LED driver for at least 4 seconds.
For programming with the mains input voltage (case A), the
OT 90/170-240/1A0 4DIMLT2 E only needs an LED load con-
nected. This is not the case for the SELV DC voltage (case B).
