1. Installation options
I) Retrofitting a CCG luminaire accord. to EN 62776
Replacing fluorescent T8-tube and installed starter by SubstiTUBE® EM T8 and
SubstiTUBE® Start.
II) Conversion of an ECG or CCG luminaire
Rewiring of the luminaire necessary for replacing fluorescent tube by
SubstiTUBE® EM in ECG luminaires. Rewiring is also possible for replacement
by SubstiTUBE® EM in CCG luminaires. Installation must be done by qualified
Electricians and all security precautions described herein must be followed.
Please refer to chapter 2.2.2 “Sample installation direct wiring” for more details.
III) Retrofitting an ECG luminaire accord. to EN 62776
Replacing conventional fluorescent T8 tube by SubstiTUBE® HF T8. Before
retrofitting, check driver compatibility list on www.osram.com/SubstiTUBE-HF,
as SubstiTUBE® HF has to be compatible with installed ECG.

2.1 Retrofitting in a CCG luminaire
Simple luminaire upgrade with a LED Tube. The fluorescent T8 lamp has to be
exchanged by SubstiTUBE® EM T8 and the starter being replaced by
SubstiTUBE® Start. The built-in CCG can be used as it is and existing certifica-
tions remain valid. Its losses are reduced to ohmic losses of usually about 1W.
Note: If the starter has not been changed to SubstiTUBE® Start the luminaire will
start blinking. Please switch off immediately and change the starter, because
SubstiTUBE® EM can be damaged. SubstiTUBE® EM can be used in luminaires
with changeable starters only.

2. EM-Types
2.1 Retrofitting in a CCG luminaire
2.1.1 Luminaires with compensating capacitors
SubstiTUBE® EM can be applied in luminaires with integrated compensating
capacitors. The maximum possible amount of SubstiTUBE® EM in compensated
luminaires operated at one circuit breaker can be found in the SubstiTUBE®
product data sheet download area at related product
(www.osram.com/substitube).

2.1.2 Duo circuit lamp luminaires
Double lamp luminaires can be refitted analogue to single lamp luminaires if they
show duo circuit wiring according to below scheme. Usage in tandem circuitry
luminaires with serial wired lamps requires rewiring (typically in 2ft installations)
see chapter 2.2.

2.2 Conversion / Direct Wiring
2.2.1 Direct line voltage connection
SubstiTUBE® EM products can be operated at direct mains voltage 220V-240V.
Hence conversion of an ECG luminaire is necessary to enable operation with
SubstiTUBE® EM. To eliminate remaining losses in CCG luminaires it is also
possible to convert those fittings for direct mains operation with SubstiTUBE®
EM. Conversion must be done according to below description in 2.2.2 “Sample
installation direct wiring”.
Rewire a luminaire on both sides as shown below. Thus SubstiTUBE® EM can
be inserted in any direction with standardized IEC compliant G13 lamp holders.
All wires need to be approved for the existing voltages and appliance class.
Usually solid wires with single isolation can be used for class I, double
insulation wires could be used for class II. The maximum wire cross-section for
lamp holders and starters is typically 0.5mm2. Built-in control gears must not
remain connected after rewiring.

2.2 Conversion / Direct Wiring
Installation instruction:
Note: Rework by qualified electricians only.
− Make sure that the supply voltage is disconnected
− Remove the conventional lamp
− Remove power factor correction capacitor (if installed) to improve power
factor
− Rewire the luminaire as shown in the circuit diagram on the page before
Note: Use SubstiTUBE® Start or a fuse (250V, T2A).
− Insert SubstiTUBE® EM into lamp holders and check light distribution angle
− Make sure with appropriate tests, that the rewired luminaire complies to all
relevant safety requirements and other applicable regulations, e.g. acc. to
DIN VDE 0701-0702 or 2004/108/EC
− Mark rewired luminaire with new type plate
Note: SubstiTUBE® Start or fuse (250V, T2A) is necessary for installation
protection (possible items on next page).
− Do not insert fluorescent lamps, as they would be destroyed
− Responsibility of technical and safety consequences of the converted
luminaire is shifted to the party carrying out the conversion
− The installer becomes the legal responsible for the converted luminaire

2.3 Special Feature: Rotatable End Caps
Rotatable EM-Tubes
SubstiTUBE® EM types are also available as Rotatable Tubes. Following
points have to be noted in addition to the already mentioned instructions.
− Alignment of the lamp
− Unlock lamp at both ends with switches
− Align orientation of illumination by rotating the lamp
− Check angle of light emission
− Lock the lamp at both ends with switches
− Not usable in luminaires with serial lamp connection i.e. more than one
tube at one magnetic ballast (tandem circuitry)

3.1 Retrofitting in an ECG luminaire
3.1 Retrofitting in an ECG luminaire
Replacing the lamp is all what needs to be done to upgrade an existing luminaire
with electrical control gear to newest OSRAM® HF-LED-technology. Since only
the lamp is replaced, there is no constructive modification necessary to the
luminaire. The fluorescent lamp has to be exchanged with SubstiTUBE® HF.
The SubstiTUBE® HF tube is compatible with ECGs of various brand
manufacturers. For further information regarding the tested ECGs a compatibility
list is available on www.osram.com/SubstiTUBE-HF.
Energy consumption on ballast level will not be reduced by retrofitting,
compared to a retrofitted CCG luminaire.
For activating SubstiTUBE® HF-Type, press the safety buttons on each side of
the lamp. This is part of the new international safety norm IEC 62776 to prevent
electrical shocks during installation. Then reconnect the luminaire to supply
voltage to make the lamp burn.
