Superimposed-pulse ignitorsSuperimposed-pulse ignitors with a digital timerThe lamp has time to cool down in the pausesafter ignition.Lamps go out and are started again – this cycle repeatsuntil the lamp is replaced. These down-times are associated with a significant safety risk that is made worse bythe fact that it is difficult to localise faulty lamps.Digital ignitor with an integrated timerThe ZRM ES/CT superimposed-pulse ignitor with an integrated digital timer and pulse-pause ignition solves thisproblem. As soon as annoying flickering starts to occur,the timer automatically stops the ignition process.Pulse-pause ignitionInstead of constantly sending ignition pulses to a lamp until it starts, the ignitor generates pulses in a patented twopart rhythm, thus creating optimum conditions for startingsodium vapour lamps and metal halide lamps.ZRM 4,5 ES/CTThe lamp has time to cool down in the pauses after ignition. This leads to much faster restarts for hot lamps.Thanks to pulse-pause admission, actual ignition times account for only 10% of the total ignition time. This reducesthe downtime of the system by 90%.Standard ignitor ignition sequenceZRM ES/CT ignition sequence in pulse-pause mode16

High-precision lamp managementthanks to microcontrollerThe microcontroller chip in the integrated timer of superimposed-pulse ignitors digitally controls the logic for ignition and automatic shutdown. An automatic reset functionis also integrated. This reset function is needed for lightingsystems that operate 24 hours a day (tunnels, factories).f At a glance:High-quality lighting solutionsNo annoying flickeringNo interference with radio and TV reception,computer displays, air traffic control, alarm systemsReduced expenditure on maintenance work17

Pulse ignitorsIgnitor systems using pulse technologyCompared with superimposed-pulse ignitors,in pulse ignitors the high-voltage pulse isproduced in conjunction with the choke.To achieve this, the ignitor uses a separate tap on thechoke, specially developed for pulse technology and designed for high ignition voltages. Because the high-voltagepulse for the ignition process is generated in the choke itis possible to achieve very high ignition energy. Nevertheless, in the case of systems that use conventional pulsetechnology, the output voltage is highly dependent onthe mains voltage and this reduces the permissible cablelength – depending on the cable capacitance.ZRM powerPULSE added-value systemTridonic’s ZRM powerPULSE digital system compensatesfor this effect. As with systems that use conventional pulsetechnology, the choke is included in the system. But amicroprocessor in the actual ignitor generates the ignitionpulse.This ensures on the one hand that the choke and luminairewiring are not overloaded if there is a mains overvoltage.On the other hand, it also ensures that in the event of amains undervoltage, or if there are extremely long connecting cables, the required ignition energy is constantlyavailable.Digital convenienceThe benefits of pulse-pause technology are evident inthe ZRM powerPULSE ignitor as this ignitor reduces therestart time by up to 50% and EMC interference in theignition phase by up to 90% (see Figure 1)Photo: Sill GmbH20

In applications suchas greenhouse lighting, the ZRM 4000/400 powerPULSEmodel is a particularly attractive alternative because of itssilent operation and the long cable lengths that it makespossible.ZRM powerPULSE also offers several flexible fixing options. The robust M8 aluminium bolt is suitable for bothstandard installation as well as lateral fixing. The highquality screw terminal is designed for flexible cables aswell as for rigid wires – up to 2 x 1.5 mm2 per pole.0Another feature of the digital timer is its integrated threestart counter, which stops the ignition process after threeunsuccessful lamp starts to suppress lamp cycling whenthe lamp comes to the end of its life, and avoids overloading the control gear with the high-voltage pulses.Ignition time in sMechanically versatileWith dimensions of just 37.5 mm x 76.5 mm x 31.6 mm,the plastic housing with IP30 protection is compact.

Pulse ignitorsDigital Pulse ignitorsZRM powerPULSEDigital ZRM powerPULSE ignitors are characterised by their regulated ignition voltage.The three-start counter automatically stops the ignition process if the lamp is faulty. Because of their automatic resetfunction after ignition has been suppressed for 3 hours, these ignitors are among others suitable for use in areas such astunnel applications or for lighting systems that operate round-the-clock, e.g. production plant in the automotive industry.Pulse ignitors – 230-V-ModelTypeZRM 4000 powerPULSEZRM 4000/400 powerPULSEArticle number8645845886458459Permitted input voltage (V)198 – 264342 – 484Mains frequency (Hz)50/6050/60Ignition voltage (kVP)4.14.1Output of sodium vapour lamp (W)70* – 1,000600 – 700Output of metal halide lamp (W)35 – 1,8001800 – 2,000Losses at 240 V Voltage (W)0.901.50Pulse width 90 % ignation voltage (µs) 10 10Number pulses per half wavePhase displacement of ignition pulsesOn voltage (W)Permitted load capacitance (pf)1172 / 25272 / 2521983424,0004,000Min. cable length to lamp (m)0.20.2Max. cable length to lamp (m)4040 85 85Max. permitted ambient temperature ta ( C) C 80Min. permitted ambient temperature ta ( C)-30-30Weight (kg)5258Max. permitted housing temperature tc ( C)* for sodium vapour lamps HST-DE 70 W22
