  1. (A) The control signal to the ballast shall indicate full output. The arc power of all connected lamps shall be measured and then added together. This result will be referred to as “maximum arc power.” An appropriate lighting control shall be selected to achieve the control signal used to determine the maximum arc power and to tune the ballast to the appropriate dimming levels. The controls shall be selected by using the following methodology:
    1. 1. If the ballast manufacturer also manufactures a lighting control designed to be operated with the ballast, the test shall be conducted using the ballast manufacturer's lighting control. Or;
    2. 2. If the manufacturer does not manufacture a compatible lighting control, but recommends the use of specific manufacturer and/or model of lighting control, such as in its product documentation, the test shall be conducted using a lighting control from the list of manufacturer-recommended lighting controls. Or;
    3. 3. If the manufacturer does not manufacture a compatible lighting control, and does not recommend any specific lighting controls, the lab technician shall select a lighting control that sufficiently controls the ballast to complete the test.
    4. 4. If multiple control options are available, use the lighting control that is capable of using all of the features of a ballast and with the minimum amount of other features. The lighting control manufacturer and model number shall appear on the test report.
  2. (B) Three sets of input power and arc power shall be measured using the federal test procedure with the total arc power tuned to 100, 80, and 50 percent of the measured maximum arc power. If a step dimming ballast or a ballast that can only turn connected lamps on or off has dimming steps other than 80 and 50 percent, then the closest step that is between 90 and including 65 percent shall be used for 80 percent testing, and the closest step that is between 65 and including 35 percent shall be used for 50 percent testing. If no step exists in the above prescribed ranges, then no result shall be recorded for that percentage dimming test. The resulting input powers shall be recorded and referred to as P₁₀₀, P₈₀, and P₅₀. The resulting arc powers shall be recorded and referred to as AP₁₀₀, AP₈₀, and AP₅₀. BLE₁₀₀ shall be calculated as AP₁₀₀/P₁₀₀, BLE₈₀ as AP₈₀/P₈₀, and BLE₅₀ as AP₅₀/P₅₀. The measurement of power factor shall be taken during the measurement of maximum arc power and reported.
  3. (C) Standby mode test: the ballast shall also be tested with a control input set to the lowest dimming state possible up to and including no light output. The input power to the ballast shall be measured and recorded as P₀. The measurement must be taken 90 minutes after entering this state. P₀ shall be recorded as the mean value of measurements taken at 5-second intervals over a 5-minute period.
  4. (D) The weighted ballast luminous efficacy shall be calculated using the following formula and table:
    Weighted ballast luminous efficacy = BLE₁₀₀ x w₁₀₀ + BLE₈₀ x w₈₀ + BLE₅₀ x w₅₀
    Where the time values (w₁₀₀, w₈₀, w₅₀) are taken from the appropriate table below:

P_out is the measured operating lamp wattage and P_in is the measured operating input wattage.
  The lamp, and the capacitor when it is provided, is to constitute a nominal system in accordance with ANSI C78.43-2004. P_in and P_out are to be measured after lamps have been stabilized according to Section 4.4 of ANSI C82.6-2005 using a wattmeter with accuracy specified in Section 4.5 of ANSI C82.6-2005 for ballasts with a frequency of 60 Hz and shall have a basic accuracy of ± 0.5 percent at the higher of (a.) three times the output operating frequency of the ballast, or (b.) 2 kHz for ballast with a frequency greater than 60 Hz.

  8. (H) The computer sleep mode power measurement shall be tested in a modified manner from the test procedure described in IEC 62623:2012. Instead of measuring power after manually entering sleep mode, the power measurement shall begin no sooner than 30 minutes and no later than 31 minutes of user inactivity on the unit under test. This measurement shall be performed after the long-idle test without altering the unit under test.
  9. (I) The power factor of a computer power supply and compliance with Table V-9 in Section 1605.3(v)(6) of this Article shall both be determined by the following test procedure: Generalized Test Protocol for Calculating the Energy Efficiency of Internal Ac-Dc and Dc-Dc Power Supplies Revision 6.7 (March 1, 2014). In addition the median power factor during short-idle measurements shall be recorded in the test report.
  10. (J) For multi-screen notebooks, configure each integrated display in the same way as the display of the units with one integrated display. The displays do not have to be configured sequentially (i.e. warmup times can be done simultaneously for all integrated displays).
  11. (K) For computers with cyclical behavior where operation without a battery pack when connected to the mains power source is not a supported configuration and where the normal measurement time would not capture one or more complete cycles, short-idle, long-idle, sleep, and off mode power measurements shall be tested in a modified manner from the test procedure described in IEC 62623:2012:
    1. 1. Short-idle mode testing: The short idle test duration shall be extended long enough to capture the energy consumption over one or more complete cycles. The unit shall be kept in short idle through minimal user input such as moving the mouse or pressing a key that does not perform any action (e.g., shift, ctrl, tab, etc).
    2. 2. Long-idle mode testing: The long idle mode test duration shall be extended long enough to capture the energy consumption over one or more complete cycles. The unit under test shall remain in long idle during the entire time of the extended test by disabling the sleep mode.
    3. 3. Sleep mode testing: The computer sleep mode power shall be tested after restarting the computer and ensuring that the sleep mode is enabled. Instead of measuring power after manually entering sleep mode, the power measurement shall begin no sooner than 30 minutes and no later than 31 minutes of user inactivity on the unit under test. Sleep mode power measurement shall be taken over an extended period of time that is long enough to capture the energy consumption over one or more complete cycles.
    4. 4. Off mode testing: The off mode test duration shall be extended long enough to capture the energy consumption over one or more complete cycles.

  3. (C) For purposes of computing the small battery charger system standard, the number of ports included in a multi-port charger system shall be equal to the number ports that are separately controlled. For example, a multi-port charger system that charges eight batteries by using two charge controllers that charge four batteries in parallel would use two for “N” as described in section 1605.3(w)(2), Table W-4 of this Article.
  4. (D) Small battery charger systems that are not consumer products may use the battery manufacturer's recommended end of discharge voltage in place of values in 10 C.F.R. section 430.23(aa) (Appendix Y to subpart B of part 430) (Jan. 1, 2017), Table 3.3.2, where the table's values are not applicable.

The test method for large battery charger systems that are not federally regulated battery chargers or federally regulated uninterruptible power supplies is Energy Efficiency Battery Charger System Test Procedure Version 2.2 dated November 12, 2008 and published by ECOS and EPRI Solutions with the following modifications:
  1. (A) The test procedure shall be conducted for 100, 80, and 40 percent discharge rates for only one charge profile, battery capacity, and battery voltage. The manufacturer shall test one battery and one charge profile using the following criteria:
    1. 1. the charge profile with the largest charge return factor;
    2. 2. the smallest rated battery capacity; and
    3. 3. the lowest voltage battery available at that rated capacity.
  2. (B) The battery manufacturer's recommended end of discharge voltage may be used in place of values in the test method part 1, section III.F, Table D where the table's values are not applicable.
(x) Landscape Irrigation Equipment.
1. (1) Spray Sprinkler Bodies.
  1. (A) The test method for a spray sprinkler body is Appendix B of the WaterSense® Specification for Spray Sprinkler Bodies Version 1.0, September 21, 2017.
