Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adjusting an electronic ballast, with which an electric lamp is operated.
  • Electronic ballasts are used to set and operate electric lamps. Since a variety of different lamp types exist, it is also necessary in principle that a relatively large number of electronic ballasts must be provided in order to operate the different types of electric lamps can. In order to reduce this high number of different electronic ballasts, electronic ballasts are known which can be used for a plurality of different lamp types. However, it is necessary that the electronic ballast recognizes as independently as possible, which lamp type is connected and then sets the appropriate operating conditions. Essential here is a precise adjustment, inter alia, the preheating current, the lamp current, the burning voltage and other corresponding operating parameters.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to be able to provide a method for adjusting an electronic ballast, with which an electronic ballast for a plurality of different electric lamps can be operated and the setting and operation of the electric lamps can be performed very precisely.
  • the changed settings are programmed in the electronic ballast, wherein the electronic ballast then returns to normal operation, when the electronic ballast detects a value which is below the threshold and which in comparison to normal operation again typical value of the resistance Lamp filament of the electric lamp and / or a replacement load of the electric lamp characterized. Switching between a normal operation and a secondary operation and thus the changing of settings is carried out by reliable and controllable.
  • the changed settings are used by the electronic ballast until further reprogramming is performed during a slave operation.
  • the threshold value is at least a factor 2, in particular at least a factor 4, in particular at least a factor 8, in particular at least a factor 10 greater, than a value of the resistance of a conventional lamp filament.
  • the threshold value is set to significantly exceed a usual value in the conventional proper operation of an electric lamp.
  • the electric ballast operated with the electronic ballast is preferably disconnected from the electronic ballast and a programming lamp electrically connected to the electronic ballast, the value of the resistance of the lamp filament of the programming lamp and / or the value of the Resistance of the replacement load of the programming lamp have a value that is atypical compared to an electric lamp, wherein the values are greater than corresponding threshold values.
  • a simple programming lamp allows a fast and low-cost induction of a secondary operation of an electronic ballast.
  • the threshold value of the resistance of the lamp filament is set greater than 100 ohms, in particular greater than 200 ohms.
  • the threshold value of the resistance of the replacement load of the electric lamp is greater than 800 ohms, in particular greater than 1 kOhm.
  • each atypical value of the resistance of the lamp filament and / or any atypical value of the resistance of the equivalent load of the electric lamp individual values for adjustments of the operating parameters are correlated.
  • the electronic ballast preferably recognizes the size of the atypical value during secondary operation, and the first settings of the at least one operating parameter are changed with respect to the settings of the operating parameter that are correlated with the detected atypical value.
  • At least two programming lamps are provided, wherein the values of the resistances of the lamp filaments and / or the equivalent loads differ in such a way that the corresponding values are recognized without error by the electronic ballast.
  • the secondary operation of the electronic ballast is set when the value of the resistance of the lamp filament and / or the value of the resistance of the equivalent load is within a resistance interval.
  • the lower interval limit is formed by the threshold value, which represents an atypical value of this or of these abovementioned resistors (lamp filament and / or equivalent load).
  • the upper limit of the interval is formed by such a value, which is below a resistance value of a defective lamp and / or a broken lamp filament. It can thereby be prevented that, when the lamp is defective and / or the lamp filament is broken, a secondary operation of the electronic ballast is undesirably set due to the then detected high resistance value.
  • a basic setting of the electronic ballast is carried out by the luminaire manufacturer or by the manufacturer of the electronic ballast.
  • a first basic setting of the electronic ballast is carried out in such a way that first settings of at least one operating parameter are programmed into the electronic ballast. These first settings of at least one operating parameter are programmed with regard to which first lamp type is to be set and operated with the electronic ballast.
  • the Basic setting of the electronic ballast is thus customized with regard to the desired type of lamp, which is initially operated with the electronic ballast.
  • operating parameters for example, a preheating current and / or a lamp current and / or a burning voltage can be considered.
  • these are merely exemplary statements for operating parameters which can be supplemented and expanded in many ways with regard to the invention. Basically, all operating parameters are included which are necessary and useful for a reliable and proper operation of an electric lamp with the electronic ballast.
  • the electronic ballast provided in the basic setting can subsequently be connected to the corresponding first electric lamp of the first lamp type, for the optimum operation of which the corresponding first settings in the electronic ballast are programmed and stored.
  • ballast Such operation of an electric lamp with the programmed first settings of at least one operating parameter in the electronic. Ballast is referred to as normal operation of the electronic ballast. If another second electric lamp is to be operated with the electronic ballast, but which characterizes a different second lamp type and thus requires different settings of at least one operating parameter, then it is necessary that this basic setting of the electronic ballast is changed. This requires that the first settings of the operating parameters be changed and thus the electronic ballast is reprogrammed. Such a change in the first settings of the operating parameters is performed during a secondary operation of the electronic ballast.
  • the secondary operation of the electronic ballast is characterized or is set when the electronic ballast recognizes a non-typical compared to normal operation value of the resistance of a lamp filament of the electric lamp and / or a replacement load of the electric lamp.
  • the atypical value is characterized in that it is greater than a predefinable threshold value.
  • the threshold value is set such that its value does not occur in error-free operation and in particular during normal operation of the electronic ballast, since an electric lamp provided for the actual operation is not formed or produced with lamp filaments and / or equivalent loads having values. which approach or exceed these thresholds.
  • the electrical lamp of a first type of lamp is separated from the electronic ballast in order to bring about the auxiliary operation of the electronic ballast, in which the electric lamp is removed from the socket for a short time.
  • a programming lamp is inserted into the socket and electrically connected to the electronic ballast.
  • the programming lamp is designed such that the lamp filament of the programming lamp, hereinafter referred to as programming coil, has an atypical value of the resistance.
  • the Value of the resistance of the programming helix greater than 200 ohms, where the value 200 ohms is the threshold value. This value indicates an absolutely atypical value of the resistance of a lamp filament, since in conventional lamps, which are used in operation, the value of the resistance of a lamp filament is from a few to a few tens of ohms.
  • the value of the resistance of a replacement load of the electric lamp is detected by the electronic ballast and a normal operation or a secondary operation is set depending on this.
  • the electronic ballast changes to auxiliary operation.
  • the electronic ballast thus only switches from normal operation to auxiliary operation when it detects an absolutely unrealistic value for the value of the resistance of the lamp filament and / or the value of the resistance of a replacement load of the electric lamp. Only in this secondary operation of the electronic ballast can the first settings of at least one operating parameter be changed and the electronic ballast reprogrammed.
  • the electronic ballast may reset the operating parameters and change the first settings of the operating parameters. It is intended that the individual untypical value of the resistance of the programming helix is correlated with the new settings of the operating parameters.
  • this specific value which in the exemplary embodiment is, for example, 300 ohms, is assigned specific individual values, for example of the preheating current and / or the lamp current and / or the burning voltage of a further second lamp type.
  • the electronic ballast alone can detect from the detected atypical value of the resistance of the programming coil how the first settings of the operating parameters are to be changed and consequently how the electronic ballast should be reprogrammed in order to optimally set and operate an electric lamp of a second type of lamp.
  • a further programming coil or a further programming replacement load which represents a replacement load of the electric lamp, is provided which deviate from the abovementioned atypical value.
  • a further programming coil is provided, which has a value of the resistance, which has 600 ohms. Also, this value of 600 ohms, the electronic ballast can accurately detect and perform a value assigned to this further value or correlated adjustment and change of operating parameters, which is required for example for optimized operation of an electric lamp of a third lamp type.
  • the electronic ballast due to the large gradations and deviations of these atypical values to each other or from each other a secure detection of the size of these values can be ensured by the electronic ballast.
  • the settings of at least one operating parameter assigned to these atypical values can take place in such a way that these respectively assigned values can be arranged relatively close together.
  • these almost equal values of the preheating currents of these two different electric lamps can be assigned programming coils, which each have an atypical value of the resistance of these programming coils, which deviate relatively widely from one another, for example 300 ohms and 600 ohms.
  • this difference between the atypical values can be unambiguously detected by the electronic ballast and thus the settings of at least one operating parameter that are based and correlated with these atypical values can be set precisely and quickly, whereby optimal operation and adjustment of the electric lamp are performed can be.
  • the electronic ballast will not return to normal operation until the programming lamp returns has been removed from the socket and properly inserted for further operation, the electric lamp of the second lamp type.
  • the further normal operation of the electronic ballast is then carried out with the reprogrammed data set and thus operated the electric lamp of the second lamp type with the new settings of the operating parameters.
  • the values associated with the atypical values of the resistance of a lamp filament of the electric lamp and / or a replacement load of the electric lamp are correlated with settings, in particular new settings, of at least one operating parameter, and the new settings of the ancillary operation of the electronic ballast taken from the correlation table.
  • the settings of at least one operating parameter which are correlated with these atypical values are subsequently transmitted to the electronic ballast after the atypical value has been detected.
  • the operating parameters can be encoded in the value of the resistance of the lamp filament and / or the replacement load of the electric lamp in such great gradations that error-free recognition of the operating parameters is ensured.
  • the entire lighting system which includes the electronic ballast and the at least one electric lamp, even during the entire process of reprogramming or the change of the first settings of the operating parameters and thus also in the secondary operation of the electronic ballast in the on state.
