Warnings and safety instructions
Safety warnings:
- Avoid touching live parts!
- Do not use drivers with damaged housing and/or connectors!
- Do not service the driver when the mains voltage is connected; this includes connecting or disconnecting the LED module!
Special remarks about RCM certification: There are three types of applications in Australia/New Zealand, “IC”, “Do not Cover”, and “Non IC”. Please refer to product label for details.
IC classification
An independent controlgear that can be abutted against normally flammable
materials, including building insulation, and can be covered in normal use.
Building elements, building insulation or debris have restricted access to the
heated parts of the controlgear.
Do-not-cover classification
An independent controlgear that can be used where normally flammable
materials, including building insulation, are or may be present, but cannot be
abutted against any material and cannot be covered in normal use. The control
gear is suitable to abut normally flammable materials and to be covered by
insulation inadvertently.
Non IC classification (no mark)
An independent controlgear that cannot be abutted against or covered by
normally flammable materials or used in installations where building
insulation or debris is, or maybe, present in normal use.
Safety warnings Track drivers:
- Avoid contact of the driver with acid and alkaline solutions.
- Avoid contact of the driver with organic oils or other organic materials. At high temperature (≥60degree), the housing will be corroded by organic oils.
- High temperature and high humidity: Do not use the driver under high temperature and high humidity environment for long term, check the datasheet for specific details.
Important installation instructions
- Avoid touching live parts.
- Do not use drivers with damaged housing and/or connectors.
- Do not use drivers with damaged wiring.
- Insulation Class I luminaires must be connected to Protective Earth (PE).
- Adequate Protective Earth and/or equipotential connections need to be provided whenever possible or applicable.
- Do not use the SR control interface of Xitanium LED SR drivers in wired luminaire-to-luminaire network applications.
- Do not connect mains voltage to the SR interface; immediate driver failure may result.
- Do not switch the driver output unless “hot wiring” is supported.
- Do not service the driver when the mains voltage is connected.
- The luminaire manufacturer is responsible for its own luminaire design and compliance with all relevant safety standards including minimum required IP rating to protect the driver.
- The Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight LED drivers are intended for indoor use and must be protected against ingress of and exposure to including but not limited to water, ice, dust, insects or any other chemical agent – be it in the gaseous, vapor, liquid or solid form- which can be expected to have an adverse effect on the driver (e.g. use in wet /corrosive / dusty environments). It is the responsibility of both luminaire manufacturer and installer to prevent ingress and exposure. Any suggestion from Signify with reference to minimum required luminaire IP rating serves only as non-binding guidance; a higher IP rating may be required under certain application conditions to protect the driver. Common sense needs to be used in order to define the proper luminaire IP rating for the intended application.
- No components are allowed to be connected between the LED driver and the LED module(s) other than connectors and wiring intended to connect the Xitanium driver to the LED module.
- In case driver being used for the independent application, make sure to keep the driver dry, acidfree, oilfree, fatfree and at least 20mm distance from the body which is not the mounting surface to wall for the sufficient thermal dissipation and do not exceed the maximum ambient temperature (ta) stated on the device
Track drivers:
- Ensure proper electrical contact between between track driver and track, given inherent tolerances to track dimensions. Move the position of the track driver along the track if no proper contact can be established.
- It is recommended to mount the track driver in a vertical position. Mechanical strenght of the track driver is max. 50N: this force must not be exceeded.
- Signify Design-in support is available; please contact your Signify sales representative.

Introduction to Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight LED drivers
Introduction
Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight LED drivers are designed to operate wired as
well as wireless LED solutions for general indoor lighting applications such
as downlighting and spot/accent lighting. With Xitanium LED drivers,
flexibility in luminaire design is assured thanks to an adjustable output
current. Application-oriented operating windows offer the flexibility required
to provide the stable lumen output and light quality levels that lighting
specifiers and architects demand. The adjustable output current also enables
operation of various LED module solutions from different suppliers.
Xitanium driver versions
Xitanium drivers described in this guide are available in different
versions/sizes with different controllability options in a wide range of power
ratings that enable the most popular light output levels for general lighting
applications. We recommend you always check our Xitanium driver leaflet for
the most up-to-date overview of our range. This leaflet can be found at
www.philips.com/oem.
Xitanium driver segments
The Xitanium drivers described in this guide are categorized in different
segments:
- Statement
- Performance
- Core
These segments are defined based on specifications, features and intended applications.
Statement drivers
Statement drivers are the most advanced Xitanium drivers. They are fully
configurable via the Philips MultiOne interface, using the SimpleSet feature
via the Philips MultiOne interface and can be controlled by means of Sensor
Ready (SR), DALI and Touch and Dim (TD) or wireless communication. All
statement drivers have the complete package of features like hot wiring,
reduced output ripple current, window functionality, LEDset, etc.
Performance drivers
Performance drivers have the same package of features like the statement
drivers. The only difference is tha these drivers are not programmable via
MultiOne and DALI. Some performance drivers may have the SimpleSet
functionality which can be used to configure the device via the Philips
MultiOne interface. The Xitanium fixed output drivers and mains phase-cut
dimmable Trailing Edge (TE) drivers are a part of this segment.
Core drivers
Core drivers are value-engineered Xitanium drivers. This implies that these
drivers still have the window flexibility, the quality and reliability
expected with Xitanium drivers, but they have optimized specifications for
specific applications. It depends on the intended application which
specification is adjusted. Detailed driver specifications can be found in the
Xitanium driver datasheets which can be downloaded via
www.philips.com/oem.
Introduction to Xitanium SR drivers
Xitanium SR drivers and SR Certified Products
Our Xitanium SR Spot & Downlight drivers offer great benefits for Lighting
Management Systems. To ensure full component interoperability, Signify
provides SR Certification. The performance of third-party SR controllers (e.g
nodes, sensors) is tested and certified on our SR drivers to eliminate any
interface problems. This means you can offer connected lighting solutions
without having to worry about software capabilities and system investments. We
have a growing list of SR SR-certified products that are compatible with our
Philips Xitanium SR drivers. They cover a wide range of connected lighting
solutions from trusted providers of controller and connectivity modules as
well as building management systems. In order to support the development of SR
Certified Components, Signify has launched the SR Partner Program. SR partners
will receive all required details of the Xitanium SR driver interface for
electrical and DALI data exchange protocols. Signify also provides test and
verification services. Successfully tested products can be recognized via the
SR Certified logo:
Currently, our Xitanium SR Spot & Downlight drivers are compliant per SR specification v.2.1 and will continue to evolve. In addition, these drivers are compliant with the new DALI standard for intelligent IoT-ready luminaires, called D4i. and can be recognized by the D4i logo on their type plates. Philips driver compliance per D4i can be looked up in the driver datasheet at www.philips.com/oem or at www.digitalilluminationinterface.org/products.
Xitanium SR driver versions
The Xitanium SR drivers described in this guide will in time become available
in multiple power and current ratings which enable the most popular light
output levels for indoor applications. It is always highly recommended to
check our latest Xitanium SR driver portfolio for the most up-to-date overview
of our range. This leaflet can be downloaded at
www.philips.com/oem. Detailed technical
specifications can be found in the Xitanium driver datasheets at
www.philips.com/oem. You can also view product
specifications and access the datasheets via the Easy Design-in tool at
www.easydesignintool.com.
Sensor Ready Interface (DA+/DA-)
Xitanium SR drivers reduce complexity and cost of luminaires used in
(wireless) connected lighting systems. They feature a digital SR interface to
enable direct connection to any suitable controller or sensor. Functionality
integrated into the SR driver eliminates auxiliary components such as power
supplies and relay boxes used in many typical lighting controllers today. The
result is a simpler, less expensive luminaire which enables turning every
luminaire into a wireless node and a more reliable DC powered controller. The
simple two-wire SR interface is compliant with Parts 207, 209 and D4i (Part
250/251/252/ 253). Part 150 (auxiliary +24V power supply) is not applicable
for Xitanium SR Spot & Downlight drivers since these drivers are not equipped
with this supply.
Configurability Interface (tooling)
The Xitanium SR drivers are configurable. A tailored package of features and
parameters in these drivers can be set via a specific tool. This tool is
called MultiOne Configurator.
DALI Part 102
Select Xitanium Spot & Downlight drivers support Part 102 by enabling the
configuration of 16 scene settings and associated fade time and power-on level
via our wireless SimpleSet tool. This feature also supports quick and easy
replacement of a (failed) driver by reading out these DALI variables from the
replaced driver and transferring these to a replacement driver without the
need for re-commissioning of the replacement driver. Please refer to the
datasheet to look up whether Part 102 functionality is supported.
Features
SimpleSet
Philips SimpleSet’s new wireless programming technology -based on NFC
technology- allows luminaire manufacturers to quickly and easily program
Xitanium drivers at any stage during the manufacturing process, without a
connection to mains power, offering great flexibility. As a result orders can
be met faster while reducing costs and inventory. For more information, please
visit www.philips.com/multione.
Adjustable Output Current (AOC)
Flexibility in luminaire design is ensured by the adjustable output current
(AOC). The adjustable output current enables the operation of various LED
configurations from different LED manufacturers whilst also ensuring the
solution remains “future-proof” for new LED generations. The output current
can be set with an external resistor (LEDset/Rset) while Touch and Dim (TD)
and SimpleSet drivers also support the programming of the output current
instead, through Philips MultiOne programming hardware and software. Drivers
with SimpleSet functionality can be configured with the Philips MultiOne
Software and the wireless SimpleSet interface. More information about AOC and
how to set the output current can be found in the section Electrical Design-
in. Information about configuring drivers with SimpleSet can be found in the
section Configurability.
Amplitude Modulation (AM) output dimming
Philips Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers dim the output to the LEDs
employing Amplitude Modulation (AM) dimming. This means that at no stage of
the dimming, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) at the output to the LEDs is
involved. AM dimming guarantees the smoothest and interference/flicker-free
operation over the entire dimming range.
Temporal Light Artefacts (flicker & stroboscopic effects)
A small inherent ripple is superimposed on the DC output current. This ripple
consists of a low-frequency LF component (double the mains grid frequency) and
a high-frequency HF component. This ripple current has such a low amplitude
that Temporal Light Artifacts (TLA) with camera systems other than possibly
those for high-speed slow-motion HD recording are not to be expected. The
ripple value of both LF and HF components are specified in the driver
datasheet. The values for TLA parameters short-term flicker (PstLM) and
Stroboscopic Visibility Measure (SVM) are below 0.5 and 1 for all Xitanium
Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers.
Use of Barcode Scanners
Please note that certain ambient light conditions may interfere with 1D
barcode scanners.
Wireless control
Select drivers can be controlled wirelessly via MasterConnect or Casambi.
These features offer great flexibility without the need for additional control
wiring.
Thermal derating
Thermal derating of an in-house designed LED module
is possible by integrating a NTC (Negative Thermal Coefficient) resistor on
the LED module. More details about the NTC resistor can be found in the
Section Thermal design-in. Please refer to the datasheet to find out whether a
selected driver offers this feature.
Controllability
The Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers are available in the following
versions:
- Fixed output current (no suffix)
- Trailing Edge dimming. Suffix: TE
- Touch and Dim + DALI. Suffix: TD
The method of control is shown in the naming suffix of the driver. If no dimming protocol is given in the name, the Xitanium driver can only be used as a fixed-output driver.
Hot wiring
All Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers within the statement and
performance segments can be serviced, connected or disconnected from the LED
load when the mains voltage is connected. Please refer to the driver datasheet
whether hot wiring is supported. Please ensure that all electrical safety
regulations are followed when working on an Xitanium driver while powered up.
See also. p.30.
DC mains operation (DCemDim)
Xitanium Indoor Spot and downlight drivers support operation on a DC power
grid (e.g. central emergency system). On select drivers, the driver behavior
once switched to DC input voltage can be programmed via MultiOne software
through the DC Emergency feature (DCemDim). By default, the output current of
those drivers is reduced to 15% of its programmed output current at DC
(emergency) operation. More details about DC input voltage can be found in the
driver datasheet. All Xitanium Indoor Spot and downlight drivers supporting DC
operation have a built-in fuse rated for AC and DC operation. Use of the
external DC-rated fuse is not required.
Constant Light Output (CLO, programmable drivers only)
Traditional light sources suffer from depreciation in light output over
time. This applies to LED light sources as well. The CLO feature enables LED
solutions to deliver a constant lumen output throughout the life of the light
engine. Based on the type of LEDs used, heat sinking and driver output
current, it is possible to estimate the depreciation of light output for
specific LEDs and this information can be entered into the driver. The driver
counts the number of light source working hours and will increase the output
current based on this input to enable CLO.
Since the CLO curve is not generic, the OEM needs to determine the appropriate CLO curve. This can be used to differentiate on e.g. lumen output or power consumption over lifetime. The CLO feature can be programmed with the Philips MultiOne configurator tool. More information can be found at www.philips.com/multione.
Corridor Mode (TD and SR drivers only)
The Corridor Mode is typically used in corridors, stairwells, entrance halls,
storage rooms, etc. It is a simple function that controls the light level when
presence is detected by a simple main on/off sensor. It is easy to use and can
be activated using default parameters, so no programming via software is
required. When the sensor detects presence, the light switches on. When it no
longer detects any presence, instead of switching off the light immediately,
the driver takes over control of the light level and dims it down to a
background level. The settings can be customized using the Philips MultiOne
configurator software. Please refer to the driver datasheet to check whether
this feature is available.
Driver diagnostics (TD and SR drivers only)
On select TD drivers, the Diagnostics functionality is available. The purpose
of Diagnostics is to gather information and help diagnose the history of the
driver and connected LED module. The diagnostics consist mainly of counters
which keep track of specific variables like the number of startups of the
driver, temperature of driver and LED modules, current and voltages etc. When
the driver is shutdown the diagnostics data is stored automatically in non-
volatile memory.
Dimensions
Wide Housing Design (WH)
The WH driver has a 3-in-1 housing design which makes it suited for built-in
applications and independent use with strain relief and the loop-through
option.
Mini housing design (/m)
The /m driver has a size and mounting footprint that is the same as the
Philips HID PrimaVision Mini electronic ballast, thus enabling the easy
transformation of a luminaire from HID to LED. This driver can be adapted for
use in independent applications by the use of a strain relief cap that can be
ordered separately, as an accessory. This will ensure that the driver is
thermally protected and safe to use in ceilings.
Track adapter design (/a)
The /a driver has a form factor tailored for use in standard tracks, allowing
for flexible and easy “plug & play” mounting.
Note: The strain relief accessory cannot be used with the 50W/m driver with Rset functionality (Xitanium 50W/m 0.7-1.5A 48V 230V, 12NC: 9290 009 34606). When using the strain relief caps along with the Mini DALI driver (in independent applications), please ensure that the diameter of the DALI cable and the mains cable is the same to achieve proper relief.
Note: The Mini driver (all /m versions) with strain relief caps in independent application needs to be placed on the ceiling plate such that the bottom of the assembly is completely covered by the supporting surface after installation.
Mini Flat housing design (/mf)
The /mf driver can be adapted for use in independent applications by the use
of a strain relief cap (12NC: 929001431106) that can be ordered separately, as
an accessory. This will ensure that the driver is thermally protected and safe
to use in ceilings.
Driver naming
Drivers come in different sizes and with different options. The dimensions of
the same housing type can also differ between different power packages. The
actual dimensions and features can be found in the driver datasheet.
Naming suffixes of the drivers
Example: Xitanium 20W WH 0.15-0.5A 54V SR Is 230V
Use in hazardous environments
Note: Xitanium indoor Spot and downlight drivers are not certified per standard IEC/EN 60079 and the latest EU directive ATEX for use in hazardous environments in which there is risk of explosion. Therefore, these drivers do not directly support application in luminaires and lighting systems in such environments.
Electrical design-in
Example of a Driver Operating Window
Note: by means of dimming it is possible to go below the minimum value of the specified output current.
- Required set point for the LED solution
- Current can be set to needs within range
- Driver adapts to required LED module voltage Vf, given it fits range
- Driver minimum power limit
- Driver maximum power limit
Note: by means of dimming it is possible to go below the minimum value of the specified output current.
Xitanium driver operating window
LED technology is rapidly evolving. Using more efficient LEDs in a next
generation means the same light output can be achieved with lower currents. At
the same time, LEDs can be driven at different currents levels based on the
application requirement. Typically, LED drivers are available in discrete
current levels e. g. 350, 530 and 700mA. It is often necessary to replace a
driver when more efficient LEDs or different LED boards become available. One
of the key features of the Xitanium LED drivers is the adjustable output
current (AOC), offering flexibility, differentiation for the OEM and future-
proof luminaire design. The Xitanium drivers can operate in a so called
“operating window”. This power window is defined by the maximum and minimum
ouput voltage (V), output current (A) and output power (W) that the driver can
handle. An example of an operating window is shown on the left. The area
indicates the possible current/voltage combinations. The current you select
will depend on the type and manufacturer of the LEDs, the specific LED module
configuration and the desired light output per LED. The voltage is the sum of
the LEDs used (total Vf string). Both the operating window and default output
current setting of every driver can be found in the driver datasheet. The
output current of these drivers can be set in three ways.
- By connecting a specific resistor value to the driver LEDset/Rset interface.
- Drivers with SimpleSet can be configured using the Philips MultiOne software and SimpleSet interface.
- TD driver versions can be programmed via the MultiOne interface in order to set the desired current. Please refer to www.philips.com/multione for more details.
Note: the forward voltage Vf of the connected LED module must remain within the specified driver operating window voltage boundaries under all application conditions! Otherwise, reliable operation cannot be guaranteed.
How to Select an appropriate driver
For a complete overview of suitable driver(s) for your application, please use
the Easy Design in Tool (EDIT) at
www.easydesignintool.philips.com as
starting point. As an alternative, the following steps below will help in
selecting suitable driver(s).
- Determine your required output current Ioutput and voltage (Vf)
- Calculate required output power Poutput where Poutput = Vf x Ioutput (W)
- Select the datasheets from the website mentioned above based on the driver having a higher power than required.
- Does required current fit current range of driver? Ioutput_minimum ≤ Ioutput ≤ Ioutput_maximum?
- Does required voltage Vf fit driver voltage range ?Vdriver_minimum ≤ Vf ≤ Vdriver_maximum?
- Does required power fit power range of driver? Pdriver_minimum ≤ Poutput ≤ Pdriver_maximum?
- Choose preferred type of control (TD/DALI, SR, TE, MC, CD or non-dimmable)
Driver connections
Different connector types are used on Philips Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight
drivers. More info about the type of connector and wiring (cross section area
range, strip length, etc.) can be found in the datasheet.
JST Connectors
A few select Xitanium LED drivers feature a JST connector which combines the
power connection to the LEDs with the Rset and NTC features. The pin layout
for this connector is shown on the left. In case a JST connector is to be used
to set the current via an Reset, there are 3 options:
- Use a JST connector with a resistor soldered on to pins 6 and 7 for Rset2 and pins 5 and 7 for Rset1.
- Use a JST-push-in adaptor
- Integrate the resistor into the cable running from the driver to the module (valid for modules that have cables connecting the JST connector of the driver to the module). In this case, the resistor must be integrated into the wire connecting the appropriate pin for Rset 1 or Rset 2.
Push-in Connectors
Most Xitanium LED drivers now feature push-in connectors on the input and
output side of the driver for ease and flexibility.
Note: All new drivers and modules are moving away from JST connectors towards push-in types. Please refer to the driver (and module) datasheet for connectivity details. In case a choice is made to use a driver with a JST connector and a module with push-in connectors, there are special adapter cables available. More information can be found in the datasheets of our LED modules.
Mains Connectors
Orange push-in connectors are used to connect the drivers to the mains. The
connector for Protective Earth (PE) is coloured green (if present) while the
connector for equipotential bonding purposes (EQUI) is pink (if present).
Drivers of the SH or WH type have 2 connectors for each main connection to
enable loop-through functionality for independent applications.
DALI – Touch and Dim Connectors
Blue push-in connectors are used to connect DALI/Touch and Dim wires to the
driver.
How to… Use wires and cables
In the driver datasheet, the following is specified:
- – Supported wire cross-section area range in mm2
- Recommended strip length of the wires in mm
- Maximum output cable length in m (for CISPR15 EMC compliance)
Note: although the driver connectors may allow for quite small wire cross-section areas (down to 0.2mm2) it is recommended for optimal connectivity to use mains and LED output wires having at least 0.5mm2 cross- section area or whatever else is prescribed as a minimum in the driver datasheet. For currents between 1.0 and 2A (rms/DC) per connector, a minimum cross-section of 0.75mm2 is advised.
Two wires into one connector hole
In some scenarios two wires need to be connected to one connector pole. In
this case the pairing has to be done outside the driver, resulting in only one
wire going into the driver. Insertion of two wires into one connector pole is
not supported.
Ferrules
The compatibity of twin-wire ferrules (or wire end stops), accepting the wires
intended for use, should be checked with the supplier of these ferrules.
Connection details push-in connectors
Mains, 12VDC fan output and the LEDset/Rset connections are provided by push-
in connectors for select drivers. Please keep in mind the following while
making the connection:
- Make sure to push in the connector springs before inserting the wires to ensure a good connection.
- While connecting the Rset/LEDset resistor, please refer to the picture shown on the left. The resistor must be inserted such that there is no possibility of a short circuit between its leads. It is recommended to fully insulate the resistor body and its leads except for the ends by means of an insulation sleeve.
Adjustable Output Current (AOC) – set driver output current
Output current can be set by placing an external resistor Rset/LEDset into
the driver Rset/LEDset interface. Next to that, TD, SR, MC and CD driver
versions allow also setting of the output current via software configuration
without the need for a resistor.
Warning: The LEDset/Rset interface does not support use as a general control or dimming interface. Please use the 1-10V, DALI/TD or SR interface instead for that purpose.
Default driver output current
The default output current is specified in the driver datasheet. Drivers based
on Rset1/Rset2 technology for setting the output current will go to the
default output current if the Rset interface is open (no resistor connected),
while shorting the Rset results in the output current going to the minimum
value. On the other hand, drivers based on LEDset technology have an undefined
output current if the LEDset interface is either open-circuit (no resistor
connected) or shorted. Both open-circuit and shorted situations must therefore
be avoided in the application. It is imperative to connect a resistor to the
LEDset interface prior to powering up the driver. In case the LEDset interface
is shorted, the output of the driver will go to its maximum specified output
power (Pout,max). However, the forward voltage Vf of the connected LED module
defines if at Pout,max the maximum output current (Iout,max) is also reached
(refer to the power window graph point 5, in the section Electrical design-in
section). The output current accuracy in this situation is lower compared to
the one in which a resistor is used to select and set the output current.
Determine AOC priority with TD drivers
Since the TD drivers offer two methods to set the output current (AOC), it is
good to take note of the priority of each method concerning the other. There
are two groups of TD drivers; those which can dim down to 1% (newer driver
types) and those which can dim down to 10% (older types).
Group 1: 1% minimum dim level (newer drivers)
AOC programming has priority over Rset. For the priority selection criteria
see table on the left.
Group 2: >1% minimum dim level
The value that sets the lowest current has priority over the other.
E.g. programming 200 mA has priority over an Rset value which would generate 250 mA. And an Rset value that generates 200 mA has priority over programming 250 mA.
Note: default current is stated in the driver’s datasheet in the download section on www.philips.com/technology.
Why a resistor?
- Worldwide standardized component
- Worldwide availability and well-documented
- Freedom to choose the supplier and value
Resistor placed into driver enables you to:
- Connect different configurations, not just a unique solution
- Drive different type of LED boards, not restricted to one type
- Select and tune the current, hence flux or driver/LED module tc
Setting the output current via Rset1/Rset2
By use of a resistor with a certain resistance value the required output
current for the used LED module can be set. A schematic block diagram is shown
on the left. Three different Rset resistors can be used:
- Rset1 is used for drivers that have a maximum output current of 700mA.
- Rset2 is used for a wider selection of currents, 0.1A to 2A. Please refer to the following table for information.
- LEDSet is now an international standard and will be used in all Indoor drivers in the future. It can cover a wide range of currents from 0.05A to 8A.
The Rset/LEDset resistor must have a power rating of at last 0.125W and a voltage rating of at least 50V.
Rset1 and Rset2 use different pins in the JST connector of the driver. The Rset1 and Rset2 values with the corresponding drive currents are shown in following tables. It is advised to select the nearest lower resistor value that is available if the exact determined value is not at hand. The Rset2 table shows the Rset values for currents up to 2A. The exact operating window can be found in the datasheet of the driver. With the shift from JST connectors towards poke-in connectors, drivers with LEDSet will have poke-in connectors.
Rset1 and Rset2 use different pins on the driver (and on the JST
connector).
The Rset1 and Rset2 values with the corresponding drive currents are shown in
tables at p. 20/21. It is advised to select the nearest lower resistance for
the required output current.
How to… set the output current via LEDset
Rset1 and Rset2 have been the traditional ways to set the current in the
Xitanium window drivers. Next generation drivers will now be introduced with a
set. LEDset is introduced by several vendors in the market to provide an
industry-standardized Rset interface. LEDset is, in essence, like Rset1 and
Rset2, where one resistor value leads to one output current value only,
differing only in the look-up table. Please find the table for E96 resistor
values in the next section.
What does LEDset offer
Like Rset1 and Rset2, LEDset is an analogue interface, allowing basic output
current setting. The interface supports the following functions:
- Output current setting of the constant current LED driver to LED modules
- Thermal protection of the LED module(s) via an NTC resistor Please refer to the driver datasheet for more Rset/LEDset connectivity details.
How does LEDset work
LEDset is based on a 2-wire connection between LED driver and one or more LED
modules as shown on the previous page. A standard resistor R can be put
directly into the driver LEDset interface or on the LED module. The LEDset
interface measures the current iset which flows from a 5V constant voltage
source within the LED driver through the LEDset setting resistor R. The
current iset flowing through LEDset setting resistor R is determined by the
equation: iset [A] =5 [V] / R [Ω] A driver with LEDset interface is able to
measure iset and to set the driver output current Ioutput dependent on the
measured value of iset according to this equation: Ioutput = iset x 1000 [A]
Therefore the overall relationship between the setting resistor R and Ioutput
is then given by: Ioutput [A] =(5 [V] / R [Ω]) x 1000 To calculate the
required LEDset resistor value R for a desired output current Ioutput : R [Ω]
= (5 [V] / Ioutput [A]) x 1000 The LEDset interface is intended to cover an
output current range from 0.05A to 8A. The corresponding value for the LEDset
resistor R is therefore within the range from 100kOhm to 625Ohm. The actual
supported minimum and maximum output current values are dependent on driver
type and can be found in the driver datasheet.
Note on E-series: in electronics, international standard IEC 60063 defines preferred number series for amongst others resistors. It subdivides the interval between subsequent values from 1 to 10 into 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 etc. steps. These subdivisions ensure that when some arbitrary value is replaced with the nearest preferred number, the maximum relative error will be on the order of 20%, 10%, 5%, 1% etc.

Programming the output current
Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers offer a tailored range of controls,
enabling customizable luminaire design and performance. It is possible to
control light output levels, preset dimming protocols and set system
specifications in the factory and even in the complete installations. This can
be done with the Philips MultiOne configurator. The MultiOne configurator is
an intuitive tool that unlocks the full potential of all configurable drivers
from Signify, ensuring that the driver performance matches the needs of the
lighting solution. It offers unprecedented flexibility, before, during and
after the product installation. Programming of new Xitanium LED drivers can be
done either by SimpleSet and/or by the DALI/TD or SR interface. Please check
refer to the driver datasheet to find out which configuration option(s) are
supported. For more information on MultiOne installation – software and
programming: go to
www.philips.com/multione.
Mains operating conditions
Xitanium Indoor Spot and downlight drivers support operation on power sources
or grids providing a clean and symmetrical sinusoidal AC voltage waveform.
Drivers rated for DC operation support operation on a clean DC voltage as well
as on a rectified sinewave input voltage (“joker voltage”). Operation on power
sources including but not limited to having e.g. a square-wave voltage form or
a “modified sinewave” is not supported. The drivers can withstand high and low
mains voltages for a limited period of time. This includes under- and
overvoltage due to malfunction such as a loose neutral wire in a 3-phase grid.
Xitanium Indoor Spot and downlight drivers are designed to be operated at
mains under and overvoltage conditions per IEC requirements for specified
performance and operational safety. The applicable voltage ranges can be found
in the driver datasheet. The applicable lower limit for driver performance is
the lowest rated voltage -8% while -10% applies for driver operational safety.
The applicable upper limit for driver performance is the highest rated voltage
+6 % while +10 % applies to driver operational safety. For optimal driver
performance, it is always recommended to operate drivers within the specified
voltage performance range.
The allowable voltage difference between mains input and control input
The driver Touch and Dim interface is rated for use in a 3-phase 230/400V
grid, therefore supporting the use of Touch and Dim control from one phase
while the power to the driver is supplied by one of the other two phases.
Low mains voltage
A continuous low AC voltage (<202VAC) may hurt the driver lifetime. The output
power will be limited accordingly. A low voltage will not cause the driver to
fail over a maximum period of 48 hours at minimum operating AC voltage and
maximum driver ambient temperature.
Excessive high mains voltage
An excessive high mains voltage will stress the driver and have an adverse
effect on the lifetime. Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers will survive
an input overvoltage of 265 … 320VAC for a period of max. 48 hours and 320 …
350VAC for a period of max. 2 hours.
A loose neutral condition in a 3-phase grid has to be avoided as this may
reduce the lifetime dramatically. Immediate driver failure may result when the
driver is connected to 400VAC as a result of a connection error or loose
neutral in a 3-phase 230/400VAC grid.
DC emergency operation
Select Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers are able to operate on DC
voltage on the mains input, e.g. when connected to a central DC emergency
grid. These drivers support the operation of both a flat DC input voltage as
well as operation on a rectified sinewave “joker” input voltage. Depending on
driver type, the driver is released in compliance with lamp control gear
standards as stated under “Emergency standards” in section “Quality” at the
end of this document. As a result, these drivers are suitable for emergency
luminaires in compliance with IEC 60598-2-22, excluding high-risk task areas.
The mains input of DC-rated drivers is not polarity-sensitive for DC input
voltage and the driver is fully CISPR15 EMC-compliant when operated on a DC
grid. On selected drivers the feature DC emergency dimming (DCemDim) is
available, allowing a predefined dim level of the driver output current when
switched to DC (factory default: 15%). More on setting parameters of DCemDim
can be found in the section for Controllability. For specific input
requirements please check the driver datasheet. Drivers that are not equipped
with the DCemDim feature will maintain the same output current when switched
over from an AC to a DC grid. Depending on driver type, EL marking may apply.
For those drivers, the corresponding Emergency Output Factor EOFx range can be
found in the driver datasheet. Inrush current The term inrush current refers
to the briefly occurring high input peak current that flows into the driver
during the moment of connection to mains; see the illustration on the left.
Typically, the amplitude is much greater than the steady-state input
current.The cumulative inrush current of a, given, combined number of drivers
may cause Mains Circuit Breakers (MCB) to trip or a fuse to melt. In such a
case, either one or a combination of the following measures need to be taken
to prevent nuisance tripping:
- Replace existing MCB for a less sensitive type (e.g. exchange B type for C type
- Distribute the group of drivers over multiple MCB groups or phases
- Power up drivers sequentially instead of simultaneously
- Install external inrush-current limiting devices
Inrush parameters are driver-specific and can be found in the driver datasheet.
Note: the amplitude and pulse time of the inrush current are not in any way affected by the driver feature Adjustable Startup Time (AST).

The max. recommended amount of drivers in the table above is based on inrush current and only serves as guidance. The actual maximum amount in the application may differ; it is dependent on steady-state current, MCB brand/type and inherent MCB tolerances.
Note: Keep in mind that in case a D-type MCB is used that the steady- state current may be the limiting factor instead!
Maximum recommended number of drivers per MCB
The maximum recommended amount of drivers on a 16 A type B Miniature Circuit
Breaker (MCB) is stated in the driver datasheet. In the conversion table on
the left the stated amount is used as a reference (100%). The maximum quantity
of drivers on different types of MCB can be calculated by the reference (see
driver datasheet) x Relative number (last column).
Example:
If the datasheet states a max number on 16A type B= 20 drivers then for a 13A
type C the max. amount of drivers be 20 x 135% = 27 drivers.
Notes:
- Specified inrush current data is based on an average mains grid with an impedance of 400 mΩ + 800µH. Deviating mains grid impedance is of minor importance regarding the maximum amount of drivers per MCB.
- The specified maximum number of drivers is based on simultaneous switch-on, e.g. by a central switch or relay.
- For multiple MCBs in one cabinet, the de-rating of the MCB manufacturer for steady-state load needs to be followed. If the actual de-rating is unknown then it is recommended to use a steady-state current de-rating of 0.8 by default. No de-rating is needed in respect to inrush current as this is not part of the thermal properties of the cabinet.
- The maximum number of drivers that can be connected to one 30mA Residential Current Device (RCD) is typically 30. However, the actual maximum amount depends on RCD brand and type so the actual number may vary and will have to be defined on-site.
Surge immunity
The Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers have sufficient built-in surge
immunity for general indoor lighting use. The actual immunity level can be
found in the driver datasheet. To achieve these high immunity levels the
driver EQUI terminal (if present) must be connected to the metal parts of the
luminaire and LED module heatsink (Insulation Class I: also to earth).
Depending on local application conditions, additional protection against
excessive high surge voltages may be required. Increased immunity can be
achieved by adding a external Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Touch current
Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers which support built-in use for
Insulation Class II luminaires are designed to meet touch current requirements
per lighting control gear standard IEC 61347-1 to enable an easy design-in in
Insulation Class II luminaires per IEC60598-1. The specified peak values can
be found in the driver datasheet and refer to the single-driver-only level. Do
not leave the EQUI terminal disconnected to lower the luminaire touch current;
impaired EMC and surge performance will result.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of a device or system to
operate satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without causing
unacceptable interference with other systems or being too susceptible for
external emissions from other systems. Xitanium LED indoor Spot and downlight
drivers meet EMC requirements per CISPR15 for conducted and radiated
emissions. This test is conducted with a reference setup that includes a
driver and an LED module + heat sink combination mounted on a metal plate and
is verified in Insulation Class I and II configurations.
The reference set-up defined for point-source drivers used in a plastic Class
II luminaire is visualized below:
The output wiring routed along the total enclosure, although not recommended, is very common in track luminaires and simply had to be defined this way as reference. The reference set-up defined for point-source drivers used in a Class I fixture is visualized below under different viewing angles including dimensions:
To represent a standard metal (track) luminaire the metal sleeve around the driver has been defined having approximately the same dimensions as the inside of the commonly used track luminaire. The distance from plastic housing towards the metal sleeve may influence the EMC performance. This metal sleeve must be connected to earth to represent the Class I application. The mains wiring should be kept as short as possible and be routed with maximum distance from the output wiring going to the LEDs.
Cable length and EMC
Signify has successfully performed EMC tests for systems with an output cable
length of 60cm. For longer cables compatibility may be met for distances up to
2 … 4m, depending on driver type. It is advised to repeat these tests if the
output cable length exceeds 60cm.
EMC performance precautions
The following practical precautions need to be taken into account in a
lighting system for optimal EMC performance:
- Minimize the loop area of the LED output wires going from the driver to the LED module by keeping the output wires close together (bundling).
- Minimize the parasitic capacitive coupling of the LED output wiring towards earth by keeping the wiring length as short as possible.
- Keep the length of the incoming mains wire inside the luminaire as short as possible.
- Keep mains and control wires separated from the LED output wires. Do not bundle or cross the output wires with control/input wires or cables.
- Do not route any wiring over and/or along the driver enclosure to avoid any noise coupling/crosstalk with internal driver circuitry
- Keep wire G as short as possible to maximize its effectiveness and use, as much as possible, large metal areas (chassis, mounting plates, brackets) for earthing purposes instead. Establish a reliable electrical connection by using a toothed washer and screw(s) fastened with adequate mounting torque.
Adhering to these rules will help to achieve EMC compliance. For further questions and/or design-in support please contact your local Signify representative.
- Insulation Class I application: ground the luminaire chassis and other large internal metal luminaire parts (driver mounting plate, reflector, canopy, heat sink etc.) to Protective Earth. Always connect the driver PE/FE/EQUI connector (if present) to Protective Earth .
- Insulation Class II application: use equipotential bonding wires between all large metal luminaire parts (driver mounting plate, canopy, heat sink etc.) Do not keep large metalparts electrically insulated. Always connect the driver FE/EQUI connector (if present) for equipotential bonding.
E connector: indication of Protective Earth (PE) conductor for loop-in or loop-through to other (Insulation Class I) equipment. This functionality is restricted to independent use only.
Symbol for double/reinforced insulation between accessible enclosure or any other passive accessible part and live parts: Applicable to independent Insulation Class II drivers/equipment only. This symbol is present on connector cap(s) of strain-reliefs for independent use if not removed .
Symbol having the exact same meaning as the double square above, but applicable for built-in drivers only. This symbol is present on the driver label/type plate.
SELV
Indication of ‘Safety/Separated-Extra-Low-Voltage output circuit.
Insulated SELV drivers + loop-through
The Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers have double or reinforced
insulation from the primary to the secondary SELV output and have a plastic
enclosure. The presence of the letter ‘E’ at both PE terminals on the driver
housing refers to the independent application and indicates the possibility of
either termination of the Protective Earth (PE) conductor (loop-in) or to
serve as loop-through to other equipment via a loop-through mains cable. These
drivers are inherently classified as Insulation Class II equipment by
construction and certified as such. Therefore, Xitanium Spot & Downlight
drivers do not rely on a PE connection for safety. This means that these
drivers can be used in both Insulation Class I and Class II applications as
well as for independent use under the following conditions:
Built-in use – Insulation Class I luminaire
When this driver is built in, luminaire EMC requirements will be met without
connecting the luminaire chassis to PE. However, if challenging luminaire
conditions require further EMC improvement then the luminaire chassis may be
connected to PE for improved EMC performance.
Built-in use – Insulation Class II luminaire
When this driver is built in, EMC requirements will be met without PE
connection. However, if challenging luminaire conditions require further EMC
improvement then it is not allowed to connect the driver PE connectors to any
accessible luminaire part as only basic insulation is present between the PE
connectors and mains connectors (live parts)! The only way to reconstruct the
double/reinforced insulation associated with Insulation Class II will then be
to insulate all accessible parts (luminaire chassis, connected luminaire
parts) to a level of at least basic/supplementary insulation to the testfinger
accessing these parts. For built-in application into Class II luminaires, it
is important to keep a clearance area of at least 2.5mm around the input and
output connectors (i.e. no conductive parts at a closer distance than 2.5mm
distance). This is a guideline in order to meet the double/reinforced
requirements of an Insulation Class II luminaire.
Independent use
In case the E connectors are used for loop-through towards other (Insulation
Class I) equipment then these connectors must always be connected to
Protective Earth (PE). The E connectors are uniquely intended for connection
to Protective Earth (PE) and for loop-through purposes.
- Warning: if the driver is used for built-in purposes (irrespective of luminaire Insulation Class) then the PE connectors may not be used for loop-through as this is restricted to independent use only!
Electrical insulation
All Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight LED drivers are classified as SELV. This
means that the output voltage does not exceed the SELV voltage limitations
(<50 VACrms, <120 Vdc and that the output circuitry is double-insulated from
the mains input.
Sensor Ready Interface
Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight SR drivers have a simple two-wire SR
interface, supporting these key functions:
- Switchable built-in SR bus power supply (SR PSU) to provide power to the connected control device (Part 250)
- Memory Bank 1 Extension to store luminaire data (Part 251)
- Two-way digital communication between the SR driver(s) and control device, using standard DALI protocol via a polarized SR bus:
- Standard DALI dimming, ON/OFF
- Power and energy reporting utilizing the power monitoring integrated in the driver (Part 252)
- Diagnostic and Maintenance information (Part 253)
- The control device is allowed to be separate from the driver in case of independent driver use. Max. recommend distance between the driver and the control device is 2m.
See www.digitalilluminationinterface.org/d4i for more info.
Warning: although communication via the SR (DA+/DA-) interface is based on DALI protocol, the interface itself is not a DALI interface! The SR bus does not support inter-luminaire use in a wired DALI network.
Built-in SR bus power supply unit (SR PSU)
- The Xitanium SR driver has the ability to supply the SR bus with a built-in power DC supply that can be enabled and disabled. By factory default this SR PSU is enabled and ready to be used with an external control device. The SR SPU can be disabled/re-enabled with MultiOne configuration tools and software.
- The SR PSU is capable of delivering a minimum current of 52 mA (ISR) to the SR bus and the connected device(s). The SR PSU will never supply more than 60mA (ISR_MAX).
- The SR bus voltage will be between 12V and 20VDC depending on the connected device load and the amount of SR PSUs connected in parallel. See the graph on the next page for the typical VI curve for one SR PSU.
- When the SR PSU is disabled then the SR interface will extract a maximum of 2mA from the SR bus (like standard DALI gear).
Warning:
A maximum of four enabled SR PSUs are allowed to be connected in parallel in
order not to exceed the maximum allowable SR bus current of 250mA. If more
than four SR interfaces are connected in parallel then the SR PSUs of
additional drivers must be disabled. For your convenience it is suggested that
disabling is done individually before mounting the driver in the luminaire or
on th ceiling: disabling the supplies of multiple already mounted and
connected drivers via MultiOne software won’t be possible afterwards without
having to access each driver physically.
Control devices
Most control devices intended to be used in an SR system will be powered from
the SR bus. When communication is present on the SR bus, the bus gets pulled
down by the data packages. This reduces the average current available for the
power consuming control device. When communicating the average available
current can drop with 50%. This should be taken into account when designing
the control device. The extracted peak current (ISR_EXTRACTED) should be
limited by the control device.
Rules for building an SR system
- SR bus polarity must be respected when more than one SR interface is connected in parallel.
- The total maximum SR bus current (ISR_MAX_TOTAL) must not exceed 250mA. This current can be determined by adding up ISR_MAX of all connected and enabled SR PSUs. As a consequence a maximum of four enabled SR PSUs are allowed to be connected in parallel. The total current delivered to the SR bus (ISR_DELIVERED) can be determined by adding ISR of all connected enabled SR PSUs.
- The total current extracted from the SR bus (ISR_EXTRACTED) can be determined by adding up consuming devices like SR drivers with disabled SR PSU, other DALI gear and control devices.
- To guarantee good communication, a margin of 8mA is needed to drive the SR bus itself (ISR_MARGIN).
- The following rule should be respected: ISR_EXTRACTED + ISR_MARGIN ≤ ISR_DELIVERED.
Caution:
When the above rules are not taken into account, communication cannot be
guaranteed and damage to components may occur.
Typical examples
-
One SR driver is connected to a control device. The SR PSU of this driver is enabled. The specification of the control device states that the extracted peak current is 40mA. Will this SR system have good communication?
Answer: one SR PSU is involved, so SR bus polarity is irrelevant.- ISR_MAX_TOTAL = 60mA. This is ≤ 250mA > OK
- ISR_DELIVERED = 52mA
- ISR_EXTRACTED = 40mA
- ISR_MARGIN = 8mA
Result: 40 + 8mA ≤ 52mA
Conclusion: this system will function properly.
-
Is it allowed to add an SR driver with disabled SR PSU to this SR system? Answer: an SR driver with disabled SR PSU extracts 2mA from the SR bus. ISR_EXTRACTED = 40 + 2 = 42mA. 42 + 8mA ≤ 52mA > OK Conclusion: this system will function properly.
-
Can this SR PSU also be enabled?
- Answer: yes, but polarity of both SR supplies should be observed. ISR_TOTAL = 2 * 60 = 120mA. This is ≤ 250mA > OK Conclusion: this system will function properly.

Digital SR communication
Driver control via SR bus commands is possible through the standard digital
interface based on DALI protocol.
- Note that the output current at 100% level is determined by the driver. The minimum current that can be supplied by the driver is specified in the datasheet. The lowest dim level is defined by the higher of the two values: Minimum output current or 10% dim level.
- The driver also supports many logged and realtime diagnostic features/parameters which can be accessed via the SR interface, as per SR Certified specification or D4i standard.
Standby power consumption
Xitanium LED SR Spot & Downlight drivers consume <0.50W per driver when in standby mode. This standby power is excluding power consumed by a sensor connected to the SR bus. The SR PSU – if enabled- remains active when the driver is in standby mode.
Output open-load and short-circuit conditions
Xitanium LED Spot & Downlight Linear drivers can withstand output open-load
and short-circuit conditions. These are to be considered abnormal driver
conditions for those driver types which do not support “hot wiring”.
Consequently, it is not recommended to use these drivers as such. Neither is
it recommended to switch the output of these drivers by means of e.g. relays
(“hot switching”) to connect or disconnect LED modules. Please refer to the
driver datasheet whether “hot wiring” is supported or not.
Configurability
Introduction
Select Xitanium indoor Spot & Downlight drivers offer a extensive range of
controls, enabling customizable luminaire design and performance. It is
possible to control light output levels, preset dimming protocols and set
system specifications in the factory and even in the complete installations.
This can be done with the Philips MultiOne configurator. The MultiOne
configurator is an intuitive tool that unlocks the full potential of all
Philips programmable drivers, ensuring that the driver performance matches the
needs of the lighting solution. It offers unprecedented flexibility, before,
during and after the product installation. Depending on driver type,
programming of drivers can be done via the DALI interface or via SimpleSet.

Thermal design-in
Introduction
This section describes the aspects of the thermal design-in of the Xitanium
Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers. In order to facilitate thermal design-in of a
LED driver, the critical thermal management points of the LED driver are set
out in this section. Please familiarize youself with the following key aspects
to achieve optimal thermal design-in of the driver.
Driver case temperature point (tc point)
The driver case point temperature (tc) is the only reference for the
temperatures of the critical internal driver components. The location of the
tc point is identified on the driver type plate and is marked by a * or O
symbol. Please use only the tc point as reference to define thermal
suitability of a driver in the application. Its temperature can be measured
using a thermocouple that is firmly glued to the tc point surface on the
driver housing. For a representative measurement the temperature of the tc
point must be stable before any reliable data can be obtained (typically > 3
hours or when the temperature difference is less than 1°C within one hour).
Driver tc_life value
The specified full driver lifetime and corresponding failure rate will apply
as long as the tc point temperature remains between the lower ta_min and upper
tc_life limits.
Driver tc_max value
Select driver types support running at a higher temperature than the specified
tc_life temperature, up to the tc_max temperature. Keep in mind that doing so
will be at the expense of the driver lifetime and failure rate. A graphical
representation thereof can be found in the driver datasheet. Running the
driver above the specified tc_max temperature is not supported and will
negatively affect driver lifetime and void driver warranty. The only way to
verify whether either tc_life or tc_max is exceeded in the application is by
using a thermocouple. Please refer to the driver datasheet for the specified
tc_life and tc_max values.
Driver minimum ambient temperature (ta_min)
This lower limit value as specified in the driver datasheet stipulates the
minimum luminaire ambient temperature at which the driver can be used, e.g. in
frozen storage warehouses or (sub)arctic areas. Using the driver below its
specified minimum ta_min value is not supported and will negatively affect
driver performance and lifetime. Driver warranty will then be void.
Driver maximum ambient temperature (ta_max)
Typically, the driver tc point will reach its specified tc_max value at the
specified driver ambient ta_max temperature inside the luminaire. However, if
the driver is not running at full output power then the actual tc point
temperature may be lower than the tc_max value. In that case a higher driver
ta is supported up to the point when the specified tc_max value is reached.
Driver temperture readout in MultiOne Diagnostics
The “Driver temperature” readout via the Diagnostics function in MultiOne
software represents the temperature of a driver-internal thermal sensor.
Please do not use this readout to define the thermal suitability of a driver
for a given luminaire; this temperature readout does not represent the tc
point temperature and does not correspond 1:1 with the tc point temperature.
It is therefore not suitable as a reference for thermal design-in. (cont’d on
next page) (contd) The thermal design-in of the driver inside the luminaire
also influences the relation between the driver ta temperature and tc
temperature. E.g. mounting the driver on an effective heatsink or placing it
further away from LED modules will lower the tc value at a given ta. The tc
point temperature is always leading concerning tc_life or tc_max. In general,
lowering the overall driver temperature will increase the driver lifetime
since the temperature of critical components inside the driver will be lower.
However, applying only local heatsinking of the driver -e.g. to lower the tc
point temperature or any other surface hotspot- will not necessarily lower the
temperature of critical components. Do not apply local heatsinking to improve
intended thermal driver performance and/or to artificially lower the
temperature of the tc point.
LED Module Temperature Protection (MTP)
This feature helps to protect the LED module when operated in a hot ambient
environment. The thermal design of an LED module should be designed in such a
way that the temperature of the LED module (tc-life) is not exceeded under
normal application conditions. The utilization of a Negative Temperature
Coefficient (NTC) resistor serves the purpose to help achieve the lifetime of
the LED module if external thermal influences result in the temperature for
lifetime (t_life) being exceeded. When this occurs the light output will be
scaled back to reduce the running temperature of the LED module. See the
illustration on the left for a more detailed explanation. The following NTC
part numbers are supported in combination with Philips Xitanium LED drivers:
- 10 kilo Ohm NTC – Murata p/n NCP18XH103J03R or NCU18XH103J60R
- 15 kilo Ohm NTC – Vishay p/n NTCS0805E3153GMT (previous p/n: 2381 615 54153)
- 15 kilo Ohm NTC – Murata p/n NCP15XW153E03RC (+ separate 390 ohms resistor in series with this NTC)
Other NTC types are supported. The applicable values for R(25°C) and β however need to be specified separately during MTP configuration in MultiOne for proper MTP behavior.
Note for LEDset drivers
Once MTP (“NTC on LEDset”) is enabled the LEDset functionality is no longer
enabled. AOC setting can then be done by either DALI or SimpleSet programming,
depending on driver type. For more information on MTP configuration please
refer to the MultiOne user guide at
www.philips.com/multione.
Driver output current vs. NTC temperature
Area 1: temperature of NTC < Twarn.
The driver is operating at nominal output current, no temperature derating is
active.
Area 2: Twarn < temperature of NTC < Tmax.
Temperature derating is active, the LED driver dims down the output current
linearly between Inom and Isafe. The temperature of the LED module is
monitored to adjust the current. Once the temperature becomes lower than
Twarn, the output current will be back to its normal level Inom.
Area 3: temperature of NTC > Tmax.
The LED driver limits the output current to a specified minimum value, Isafe.
The temperature of the LED module NTC is monitored to adjust the current and
will go back to Area 2 once the temperature decreases below Tmax.
Amplitude Modulation (AM) output dimming
Philips Xitanium indoor Spot & Downlight LED drivers dim the output to the
LEDs by means of Amplitude Modulation (AM) dimming. This means that at no
stage of the dimming, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) at the output to the LEDs
is involved. AM dimming guarantees the most smooth and flicker-free operation
over the entire dimming range.
Control characteristics
Control input
- Regulating level :
- 10 to 100%
- (module dimming) :
- 1 to 100% for new driver types. The actual dimming range can be found in the datasheet. The control input complies with EN 60929 (Annex E) and is compatible with Philips Lighting 1-10V control equipment
TD: DALI – Touch and Dim
DALI
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface, or DALI, is a digital communication
protocol popular in the lighting industry. It is an IEC standard and many
control devices from Philips and other manufacturers communicate using DALI.
The voltage across DALI wires is typically 16V (refer IEC specification for
details) and it is polarity insensitive. Using DALI, it is possible to send
dimming commands (1-254 levels), set fade rates and fade times, query driver
or LED status, etc. Once the mains power returns after a power failure, the
driver will activate the power-on level according to IEC 62386: 102. The
Xitanium LED drivers also respond to LED-specific DALI commands, for example:
- Query if the LED module is shorted or open circuit
- Select between logarithmic or linear dimming curves
- …
Warning: the driver DALI control interface is classified as FELV and is not safe to touch! See the illustration on the left for more details.
For more information on driver compliance per DALI, refer to www.digitalilluminationinterface.org/products for latest status.

Wireless control
MasterConnect (MC)
Select Philips Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers support wireless
control based on Philips MasterConnect protocol. These drivers can be
recognized by the suffix MC in the driver name. They are equipped with a radio
antenna and can be controlled wirelessly via an external controller (sensor or
switch) or via the Philips MasterConnect field app. Please refer to the MC
brochure and user manuals at www.philips.com/oem
and to the listing on the left for more details about how to commission and
control a system with wireless MC drivers. For more information about how to
design-in a wireless MC driver in a luminaire, please refer to the section
Mechanical design-in: wireless MC drivers at p.36 of this document.
For more information on MasterConnect please visit
www.philips.com/oem
Casambi (CD)
Other Philips Xitanium Indoor Spot & Downlight drivers also support wireless
control but the corresponding protocol for those drivers is based on Casambi
protocol instead. These drivers can be recognized by the suffix CD in the
driver name. These drivers are equipped with an internal communication antenna
to allow communication over the air between drivers and a control device (e.g.
a sensor or a smartphone equipped with the applicable Casambi control app).
For more information on Casambi please visit: https://casambi.com/
On the next page more details are given for proper
mechanical integration of Xitanium Spot & Downlight MasterConnect drivers to
ensure good wireless communication between drivers and control devices.
Mechanical design-in: wireless MC drivers
General guidelines for proper integration of wireless Philips Xitanium Spot & Downlight MasterConnect drivers
- Follow general EMC guidelines as stipulated at p.25 and 26.
- Avoid placing metal parts close to the radio antenna as indicated on the driver-type plate.
- Keep at least 5mm clearance between the radio antenna and any metal part or wire.
The radio performance of the driver is depending on luminaire properties. In general, luminaires can be distinguished into four distinct types from radio performance perspective:
- Fully or partly plastic luminaires no particular measures are required for radio performance.
- Folded sheet metal luminaire in general no particular measures are required for radio performance. Keep at least 10mm clearance between the radio antenna and metal parts.
- Extruded metal or cast metal luminaires. special attention is needed for optimal radio performance. See below for details.
- Track luminaires no particular measures are required for radio performance.
Folded metal sheet and extruded/cast luminaires
These types of luminaires generally attenuate the radio signals significantly and may result in bad radio performance. When releasing a radio-equipped driver in these luminaires a Total Radiated Power (TRP) measurement is recommended. Release limit should be > -7dBm. General measures that may improve the radio performance for these luminaires are: Apply a set of two slots in the luminaire and place the radio-equipped driver in such a position that the radio antenna is facing these slots. The slots do not need the be covered from electrical safety point of view. The radio antenna for the radio- equipped driver is indicated by the white plastic cover. The antenna is in the upper part of this cover. See the drawing on the left for more details. Apply a round or rectangular hole covered with plastic and place the radio-equipped driver in such a position that the radio antenna is close to this (covered) hole. For the hole to be effective the largest dimension should be at least 20mm.
Note: These integration guidelines do not apply to Xitanium Track MC drivers since these drivers have their own dedicated plastic housing.
MC driver/sensor distance limitations
- Max. guaranteed luminaire-to-luminaire distance: 5m line-of-sight (metal housing luminaires)
- Typical (but to be verified) luminaire-to-luminaire distance: 10m line-of-sight (plastic housing luminaires)
- Max distance switch-to-first-luminaire: 7.5m line-of-sight
- Max. BLE range for user to luminaire/sensor: 7.5m line-of-sight (depending on smartphone brand and model)
- Field configuration: via BLE. Parametric setting set via the Philips MC field app
Touch and Dim (TD)
For Xitanium Spot & Downlight drivers equipped with the Touch and Dim function
mains voltage can serve as a control signal to dim and turn on/off the light
by applying mains voltage to the DA/Ls and DA/N control interface (= TD
interface). This means that it is no longer necessary to use a power switch to
interrupt power to the driver mains input. Mains voltage is permanently
present at the LED driver mains input (even when the light is switched off)
and light can be switched on or regulated by momentarily applying mains
voltage to the TD interface via the TD switch. A short push will switch the
lighting on or off, depending on the previous situation. See the electric
connection diagram on the left.
Touch and Dim behavior
When the light is turned off via the TD switch (short push), the driver will
store the current light level. As soon as the driver is turned back on again
(short push) the driver will recall this stored light level. If it was dimmed
to e.g. 60% at turn-off then it will come back on at 60%.
IIf the TD switch is pushed for a longer period of time, the light will dim up
or down, depending on what is opposite from the last dimming direction. See
the graph and timing table on the bottom left for details. The initial light
level after mains power-on or after a blackout can be configured via MultiOne
(see screenshot on the left). When the “Use last known level” tick box is
checked, the light level at the last mains power-off is restored. When left
unchecked, a “Power on level” value can be entered. The value range of this
level is between 0 (light = off) and 254 (100%). Note that this range is
according to the arc power levels specified in IEC 62386:102. If the
installation has to be extended by one or more light points/drivers, the
dimming direction of the newly connected modules may be opposite from that of
those already connected. To solve this, a synchronization feature is built
into the drivers and can be invoked at any time by pressing the TD switch for
at least 10 seconds: all drivers will then go to 37% light level and the
dimming direction of all drivers will be set to downwards.
Touch and Dim wiring
Special wiring, such as twisted pairs or special cables, is not required to
install a Touch and Dim system. All wiring is standard mains wiring and the
switch is a standard push-to-make switch. There is no limit to the length of
the dim cable or the number of switches connected. The only limitation is the
maximum amount of drivers, which is 30 per dimming unit. The Touch and Dim
interface is rated for use in a 3-phase 230/400V grid, therefore supporting
the use of Touch and Dim control from one phase while power to the driver is
supplied by one of the other two phases.
Trailing Edge (TE) phase-cut dimming
Trailing edge phase-cut dimmers control the power of the load by varying the
duty cycle (ratio on vs. on+off time) of the mains voltage to the driver. TE-
compatible Xitanium Spot & Downlight drivers support operation on TE dimmers
as listed below. Driver operation on Leading Edge phase-cut dimmers is not
supported.

System Disposal
We recommend that the Xitanium LED drivers and its components are disposed of
appropriately at the end of their (economic) lifetime. The drivers are in
effect normal pieces of electronic equipment containing components that are
currently not considered to be harmful to the environment. We therefore
recommend that these parts are disposed of as normal electronic waste, under
local regulations.
