FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
IEC 62386 contains several parts, referred to as series. The 1xx series includes the basic
specifications. Part 101 contains general requirements for system components, Part 102
extends this information with general requirements for control gear and Part 103 extends it
further with general requirements for control devices.
The 2xx parts extend the general requirements for control gear with lamp specific extensions
(mainly for backward compatibility with Edition 1 of IEC 62386) and with control gear specific
features.
The 3xx parts extend the general requirements for control devices with input device specific
extensions describing the instance types as well as some common features that can be
combined with multiple instance types.
This second edition of IEC 62386-207 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 62386-
101:2014, IEC 62386-101:2014/AMD1:—, IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-

9.2 Fast fade time
The fast fade time defined in this document is mapped to the extended fade time defined in
IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 9.
• “fastFadeTime” shall be set upon execution of the command
“SET FAST FADE TIME (DTR0)”. “fastFadeTime” can be queried using
“QUERY FAST FADE TIME”.
– 10 – IEC 62386-207:2018 © IEC 2018
The minimum fast fade time a driver can achieve (“minFastFadeTime”) can be queried using
“QUERY MIN FAST FADE TIME”.
“minFastFadeTime” indicates the shortest fade time where the light output follows the selected
dimming curve.
The “fastFadeTime” shall be set to a value according to the following steps:
• if “DTR0” = 0: 0;
• else if “DTR0” ≤ “minFastFadeTime”: “minFastFadeTime”;
• else if “DTR0” > 27: 27;
• in all other cases: “DTR0”.
The fast fade time shall be used only if the fade time defined in IEC 62386-102:2014 and
IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 9 is set to 0.
If the fast fade time is used, the fade time shall be calculated on the basis of “fastFadeTime”
as follows:
• if “fastFadeTime” = 0, the fast fade is disabled and the fade time shall be calculated based
on IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 9;
• else, the fade time is determined according to Table 1.

9.3 Dimming curve
9.3.1 General
Control gear implementing this document may implement IEC 62386-218.
Depending on the application a choice needs to be made to use control gear that implements
IEC 62386-218 or not.
Implementing IEC 62386-218 offers a clearly defined behaviour whenever dimming curves are
changed. Unexpected behaviour is avoided, even when changing dimming curves during the
application.
If the application sets the dimming curve only once, before any further configuration takes
place, a simpler version as described in 9.3.3 can be applied. However, there are no
guarantees as to how the light level reacts in the case of switching the dimming curve, nor
how the stored variables are affected. In this case, the application needs to take care of the
configuration of the control gear, including but not limited to setting “minLevel” and/or
“maxLevel”.
9.3.2 Dimming curve when IEC 62386-218 is implemented
Upon accepting the instruction “SELECT DIMMING CURVE (DTR0)” according to this
document, the control gear shall behave as if it accepted “SELECT DIMMING CURVE
(DTR0)” as defined in IEC 62386-218.
Upon accepting the query “QUERY DIMMING CURVE” according to this document, the control
gear shall behave as if it accepted “QUERY DIMMING CURVE” as defined in IEC 62386-218.
9.3.3 Dimming curve when IEC 62386-218 is not implemented
The dimming curve defined in this document can be set using
“SELECT DIMMING CURVE (DTR0)” and can be queried using “QUERY DIMMING CURVE”.
The dimming curve shall be set according to the following steps:
• if “DTR0” = 0: set “dimmingCurve” to ‘0’ and select the standard dimming curve;
• if “DTR0” = 1: set “dimmingCurve” to ‘1’ and select the linear dimming curve;
• in all other cases: no change.
If the linear dimming curve is selected, the light output shall be a linear function of the light
level as defined in IEC 62386-218:2018, 9.2.
When the dimming curve is changed, the physical minimum level (PHM) shall also be adjusted
to correspond to the physical minimum light output, which shall not be affected by the choice
of dimming curve.
If PHM changes due to a change of the dimming curve, the following condition shall be
satisfied:
1 ≤ PHM ≤ “minLevel” ≤ “maxLevel” ≤ 254.
Variables that have a range of validity depending on “minLevel” or “maxLevel” shall be adjusted
to comply with their given range of validity.
Other variables that do not have a range of validity depending on “minLevel” or “maxLevel”
shall not change.
9.4 Load deviation
Detection of load increase and decrease is an optional feature.
If the feature is supported, both bit 2 and bit 3 of “features” shall be set to TRUE (see 9.6) and
IEC 62386-216 shall be implemented.
Upon accepting the query “QUERY LOAD DECREASE” according to this document, the
control gear shall behave as if it accepted “QUERY LOAD DEVIATION” as defined in
IEC 62386-216.
Upon accepting the query “QUERY LOAD INCREASE” according to this document, the control
gear shall behave as if it accepted “QUERY LOAD DEVIATION” as defined in IEC 62386-216.
Upon accepting the instruction “REFERENCE SYSTEM POWER” according to this document,
the control gear shall behave as if it accepted “REFERENCE SYSTEM POWER” as defined in
IEC 62386-216.
– 12 – IEC 62386-207:2018 © IEC 2018
Upon accepting the query “QUERY REFERENCE RUNNING” according to this document, the
control gear shall behave as if it accepted “QUERY REFERENCE RUNNING” as defined in
IEC 62386-216.
Upon accepting the query “QUERY REFERENCE MEASUREMENT FAILED” according to this
document, the control gear shall behave as if it accepted “QUERY REFERENCE
MEASUREMENT FAILED” as defined in IEC 62386-216.
If the feature is not supported, the control gear shall ignore all commands mentioned in 9.4
and set to FALSE:
• bit 2 and bit 3 of “features”,
• bit 2, bit 3, and bit 7 of “failureStatus”.
9.5 Thermal protection
9.5.1 General
Thermal protection is an optional feature. If the feature is supported, thermal gear protection
and/or thermal lamp protection shall be implemented.
If thermal protection is not supported, the control gear shall ignore all commands mentioned
in 9.5 and set to FALSE:
• bit 5 and bit 6 of “features”,
• bit 5 and bit 6 of “failureStatus”.
9.5.2 Thermal gear protection
If the feature is supported, both bit 5 and bit 6 of “features” shall be set to TRUE (see 9.6) and
IEC 62386-217 shall be implemented.
9.5.3 Thermal lamp protection
If the feature is supported, both bit 5 and bit 6 of “features” shall be set to TRUE (see 9.6) and
IEC 62386-222 shall be implemented.
9.5.4 Behaviour of thermal protection
Upon accepting the query “QUERY THERMAL SHUTDOWN” according to this document, the
control gear shall answer:
• if “QUERY THERMAL GEAR SHUTDOWN” as defined in IEC 62386-217 answers YES:
YES,
• if “QUERY THERMAL LAMP SHUTDOWN” as defined in IEC 62386-222 answers YES:
YES,
• in all other cases: NO.
Upon accepting the query “QUERY THERMAL OVERLOAD” according to this document, the
control gear shall answer:
• if “QUERY THERMAL GEAR OVERLOAD” as defined in IEC 62386-217 answers YES:
YES,
• if “QUERY THERMAL LAMP OVERLOAD” as defined in IEC 62386-222 answers YES:
YES,
• in all other cases: NO.

11.3.2.2 SELECT DIMMING CURVE (DTR0)
Upon accepting this instruction:
• if behaviour is defined as in IEC 62386-218: the control gear shall behave as if it accepted
“SELECT DIMMING CURVE” as defined in IEC 62386-218;
• else: the dimming curve of the control gear shall be set to a value according to the
following steps:
– if “DTR0” = 0: set “dimmingCurve” to ‘0’ and select the standard dimming curve;
– if “DTR0” = 1: set “dimmingCurve” to ‘1’ and select the linear dimming curve;
– in all other cases: no change.
Refer to 9.3 for further information.
11.3.2.3 SET FAST FADE TIME (DTR0)
The “fastFadeTime” shall be set to a value according to the following steps:
• if “DTR0” = 0: 0;
• else if “DTR0” ≤ “minFastFadeTime”: “minFastFadeTime”;
• else if “DTR0” > 27: 27;
• in all other cases: “DTR0”.
The fast fade time shall be used only if the fade time defined in IEC 62386-102:2014 and
IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 9 is set to 0.
If “fastFadeTime” is not equal to 0, the fade time shall be calculated on the basis of
“fastFadeTime”. If “fastFadeTime” is equal to 0, the fast fade is disabled and the fade time
shall be calculated based on IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—,
Clause 9.
If a new fade time is stored during a running fade process, this process shall be finished first
before the new value is used in the following fade.
