EcoSystem® Ballasts and Emergency Wiring
APPLICATION
NOTE
#140
Overview
EcoSystem Lighting Networks are easily used with Emergency (essential) lighting systems.
EcoSystem ballasts may be used for Emergency and egress lighting. EcoSystem ballasts
used for Emergency lighting must be separated physically and electrically from utility (normal/
non-emergency) power devices; however, the EcoSystem Bus may be wired to both normal/
non-emergency fixtures and Emergency fixtures as well.
This application note details emergency fixture wiring for EcoSystem ballasts.
For information on using emergency ballasts and dimming ballasts see Lutron Application
Note #50.
Wiring Details: EcoSystem Bus wired NEC® Class 2
Use the following wiring guide when the EcoSystem Bus wires (E1 & E2) are wired according
to NEC® Class 2 wiring codes.

Additional Information
During normal operation (utility power is present), all EcoSystem ballasts will operate as
programmed. When utility power fails, the EcoSystem ballast, powered with an Emergency
feed, will turn on to its programmed Emergency light level (100% by default) and ignore all
other inputs.
Notes
• In all examples shown, the EcoSystem Bus Supply or EcoSystem Energi Savr NodeTM unit
must be powered via normal/non-emergency power ONLY.
• When using a ballast module (ie: C5-BMF-2A), wire the device like the EcoSystem ballasts
shown. The ballast module will power the ballast(s) to which it is wired in an emergency
condition.
• Emergency lighting codes vary by locale and may require more stringent separation of
normal and essential lighting circuits. Always consult local code prior to completing an
EcoSystem installation.

UL924 Compliance with EcoSystem®
Using a LUT-ELI-3PH with a EcoSystem Bus Supply or EcoSystem Energi Savr NodeTM unit
ensures that the system is compliant with UL924. Follow the wiring diagram in the LUT-ELI3PH for mains wiring. Use the diagram below to complete the installation. There can be up to
20 Bus Supplies or 32 or EcoSystem Energi Savr Node units connected to one LUT-ELI-3PH.

Note: When normal power fails and the LUT-ELI trips, the EcoSystem Bus Supply stops
powering the EcoSystem bus, and all emergency ballasts will turn on to their emergency
light level.
Note: The LUT-ELI-3PH includes panic closure inputs as well. Consult the LUT-ELI-3PH
instructions for wiring details.
