The wiring of 0-10V is rather simple compared to other protocols because it allows loops, “Y”s, and does not require termination. 0-10V dimming is also considered to be a reliable control method because it is a wired system. A huge factor in why it is a low-cost system is that it does not require commissioning or software. It is a simple, low-cost dimming method that most people are familiar with and feel comfortable with.
#ANOTHER WORD FOR TRACK LIGHTING CODE#
While 0-10V dimming helps with code compliance, there are several other advantages of using this protocol. The fixtures used on this project were BPMs which were used for accent lighting (Figure 4) and also with GOBOs installed to project images and the corporate logo (Figure 5). This is part of one of NYC’s most recent energy code requirements regarding lighting a space after it is left unoccupied. In a recent corporate office installation in New York City, 0-10V track and fixtures were integrated with occupancy/vacancy sensors that turn the fixtures on when a space is occupied and turn them off when they a space is vacant.
#ANOTHER WORD FOR TRACK LIGHTING DRIVERS#
Most sensors use 0-10V which require fixtures to have 0- 10V drivers in order to be easily integrated. Many new buildings or newly renovated buildings must abide by new energy codes which require occupancy and daylight sensors to be incorporated into the lighting and controls package. Please see fixture cut sheets with Lumenetix in the title for complete offerings. When using Lumenetix and 0-10V, the minimum dim level is 1%, and the CCT range is 1650K to 6000K. For instance, LSI makes many fixtures with integrated Lumenetix modules where one 0-10V zone is used to control the intensity, and the other 0-10V zone is used to control the CCT range. Another extremely useful feature of having two separate zones of control from a single track system is the ability to control both intensity and color temperature from one fixture, by simply accessing the two control zones. Many museums use this technique to create a more dramatic effect by having spotlights highlight a portion of the artwork at slightly higher levels than the background wall wash. One of those features is the ability to control groupings of spotlight fixtures on one zone, and groupings of wall wash fixtures on the other. There are a couple of significant features available to you when you have two separate zones of 0-10V control.
