4 Introdution: DALI standard Introdution: DALI standard History The agreement by the lighting industry to adopt a ommon protool for digital addressable ontrol of luminaires has opened up a virtually unlimited number of options for regulating artifiial lighting in all appliations. This ommon protool is the DALI protool (Digital Addressable Lighting Interfae), whih has now been internationally standardised through the IEC. With the right hoie of individual DALI omponents an extremely wide range of requirements an be met, from operating the lighting system from a simple light swith to lighting management systems for entire offie omplexes with thousands of light soures. The new standardisation means that there are no longer any restritions on the appliation of this tehnology. Any light soure, inluding inandesent lamps, fluoresent lamps, high-intensity disharge lamps and even LEDs, an be ontrolled irrespetive of whether they are installed in an offie, a restaurant or a street light. The DALI system is based on simpliity of operation. However the demands on eletrial system designers and eletriians have inreased enormously. The purpose of this tehnial manual is to desribe how the DALI system omponents offered by Tridoni operate and illustrate their funtionality by looking at how they an be used in atual pratie. DALI stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interfae and is an interfae protool for digital ommuniation between eletroni lighting equipment (eletroni ballasts, transformers, et.). The DALI standard was developed by Tridoni together with renowned manufaturers of operating and ontrol equipment. Today, these manufaturers belong to the DALI Ativity Group whih promotes the use of DALI and safeguards its further development. The DALI standard was defined in EN Annex E until 2009 but is now defined in IEC This standard also desribes the differenes between the various types of devie. As a result, long-term ompatibility among manufaturers is guaranteed and the DALI standard is ensured a seure future. In addition, ompatibility between produts from different manufaturers is supported by a test proedure standardised by the DALI Ativity Group. All produts that arry the logo of the DALI Ativity Group have suessfully passed this standardised test. Tridoni produts meet these requirements in full. 4 / 93

5 Introdution: DALI standard Features of DALI Simplified Installation No polarity Stable dimming funtion Distributed intelligene Status feedbak Flexibility Logarithmi dimming urve Power lines and ontrol lines an be laid together in the same able. The wiring may be in series, in a star arrangement or in mixed form. There is no need to worry about the polarity (+/-) of the DALI ontrol line. All the luminaires reeive the same interferene-free digital signal and therefore the same dimmer value. DALI uses a system of distributed intelligene; multiple ontrollers (e.g. DALI GC) ommuniate with intelligent ballasts. Eah ontroller operates as a master and ontrols ommuniation on the ontrol line. Ballasts reat only as slaves at the request of the master. Certain parameters are stored diretly in the DALI unit (e.g. sene values, group address). Status reports an be issued by the DALI units. Information on faulty lamps for example an therefore be transferred diretly to a higher-ranking system. Group assignment is set up by means of parameters and not by hard wiring. Lighting sene values are stored in the DALI unit. The dimming urve is mathed to the sensitivity of the eye. Tehnial features of a DALI iruit Maximum no. of DALI groups Maximum no. of DALI senes DALI voltage DALI system urrent Data transfer rate Maximum able length V V, typially 16 V Max. 250 ma (depending on the installed DALI power supply) 1200 baud The maximum able length depends on the maximum permitted voltage drop along the DALI able; this is defined as 2 V max. This orresponds to a maximum able length of 300 m for a line ross-setion of 1.5 mm². 5 / 93

6 . Introdution: DALI standard ½ CAUTION! When the maximum able length is alulated the ontat resistane must also be taken into aount. A voltage drop of 2 V must not be exeeded! Sene and group onept DALI senes With DALI it is possible to store 16 different lighting senarios in eah DALI unit so that predefined lighting moods an be alled up for a room (for example the "presentation" sene in a onferene room, or a "morning" sene in a wellness entre). The values of the 16 senes are stored in the ontrol gear. As soon as the unit reeives the ommand "Go to sene 1" for example it fades up or down to the value stored in memory. The ross-fade time for the sene all is also stored in the unit and an be set in steps between 0.7 and 90.5 seonds with the "Fade Time" parameter. Figure: Examples of light senes "Daytime showroom" sene "Night-time showroom" sene DALI groups With DALI it is possible to define 16 groups in a DALI iruit. A group is a meaningful olletion of luminaires. Group assignment an be edited in DALI. It is possible for one DALI unit to belong to several groups. This redues the amount of wiring needed and greatly inreases flexibility ompared with non-addressable systems beause in these systems the groupings are hard-wired. 6 / 93

7 Introdution: DALI standard Positioning of DALI DALI is not a new system for building ontrol suh as LON, KNX and other building management systems but a useful addition for the pratial appliation of lighting ontrollers. DALI provides ideal support for building ontrol systems and enables eah light soure to be individually addressed. Even small installations in whih a building ontrol system would not be eonomial need not forego the onveniene of digital tehnology. DALI an be used in suh installations as an independent lighting management system. Digital tehnology has taken over from analogue tehnology in lighting ontrol systems beause of the universal appliation of DALI units and their reliable ontrol / 93

21 omfortdim produt series in detail omfortdim produt series in detail This hapter provides details of the various omfortdim produts. The topis overed here inlude funtions, onnetions and programming. For further information on the produts please refer to the data sheets and the installation instrutions. DALI power supply DALI PS / PS1/ PS2 DALI PS, DALI PS1 and DALI PS2 are DALI power supply modules with a rated urrent of 200 ma or 240 ma (DALI PS2). The modules differ in their asing design; DALI PS and DALI PS2 are suitable for installation in swithing abinets; DALI PS1 is suitable for installation in suspended eilings or avities. The interfae of a DALI ballast needs a maximum of 2 ma; for 64 individual addresses this means a urrent of 128 ma. The remaining 72 ma (or 112 ma in the ase of DALI PS2) an be used for supplying DALI ontrol modules without their own power supply (DALI GC, DALI SC et.). DALI PS2 Standby DALI PS2 Standby also has a built-in relay ontat. To redue standby losses, the built-in relay disonnets the ballasts from the power supply as soon as all the luminaires have been swithed off. As soon as the DALI PS2 Standby detets that all the luminaires have been swithed off it hanges to standby mode after a user-definable delay and ontrols a built-in relay. With the aid of this relay the onneted units an be disonneted from the power supply via a ontator. Only the DALI ontrol modules are then still in the DALI iruit. As soon as a DALI ontrol module sends a Light ON ommand the DALI PS2 Standby reverts to normal operating mode and onnets the units bak to the power supply. The parameters of the DALI PS2 Standby, suh as delay, monitoring interval et. an be set using the masterconfigurator onfiguration software (V1.12 or higher) (see Referene list). 21 / 93

23 DALI group ontrollers: DALI GC & GC-A DALI group ontrollers: DALI GC & GC-A Desription DALI-GC is a module that enables dimming ommands to be sent to two groups (groups A and B) on the DALI iruit. Any standard momentary swith an be onneted to the module. Its ompat design means that DALI-GC an be installed together with the standard momentary swithes in a flush-mounted box, so set-up of the DALI iruit an be deentralised. Either individual swithes or UP/DOWN swithes an be used for ontrolling the groups. The ontrolled groups are set on a rotary swith on the module. The DALI GC module is multi-master-ompatible so several ontrol modules an be used in a DALI iruit. It is also possible to address and group simple DALI iruits with the aid of DALI-GC. DALI-GC-A is similar to DALI-GC. The only differene is that the programming mode is not ativated in DALI-GC-A. This prevents the DALI units from being reprogrammed unintentionally via the swithes. Connetion The DALI-GC swith module is onneted diretly to the DALI ontrol line and does not need a separate power supply. It is powered via the DALI iruit (urrent draw = 6 ma). It an be onneted to the DALI iruit with either polarity. Either single momentary swithes or UP/DOWN momentary swithes an be used for ontrolling a group. If a single swith is used the UP/DOWN onnetions are simply onneted in parallel. It is also possible to operate the two groups (A and B) with different types of momentary swith; for example group A with UP/DOWN swithes and group B with a single swith.

31 DALI sene ontrollers: DALI-SC & SC-A DALI sene ontrollers: DALI-SC & SC-A Desription DALI-SC is a module that enables sene seletion ommands for up to four senes (A, B, C, D) to be sent to the DALI iruit. Any standard momentary swith an be onneted to the module. Its ompat design means that DALI-SC an be installed together with the standard momentary swithes in a flush-mounted box, so set-up of the DALI iruit an be deentralised. The senes are set on a rotary swith on the module. The DALI SC module is multi-master-ompatible so several ontrol modules an be used in a DALI iruit. DALI-SC-A is similar to DALI-SC. The only differene is that the programming mode is not ativated in DALI-SC-A. This prevents the DALI units from being reprogrammed unintentionally via the momentary swithes.

35 DALI multi ontroller: DALI MC DALI multi ontroller: DALI MC Desription The DALI MC is a multifuntional ontrol module for the DALI iruit. It has four independent inputs with freely onfigurable funtions. Any standard swithes ompatible with mains voltage an be onneted to the module. It is also possible to ontrol the inputs of the DALI MC via relays. There is also the option of providing a power supply monitoring system with the DALI MC. When the power supply returns a predefined lighting status is retrieved by the DALI MC. Its ompat design means that the DALI MC an be installed together with standard swithes in a flush-mounted box. The DALI iruit an therefore be deentralised. The four inputs are onfigured by means of masterconfigurator (see Referene list). The DALI MC module is multi-master-ompatible so several ontrol modules an be used in a DALI iruit. Connetion The DALI MC swith module is onneted diretly to the DALI ontrol line and does not need a separate power supply. It is powered via the DALI iruit (urrent draw = 6 ma). It an be onneted to the DALI iruit with either polarity. ½ CAUTION! The onnetion leads between the swith or button and the DALI MC must not be longer than 50 m. The DALI iruit is not SELV. This means that the swithes and abling must be suitable for mains voltage. 35 / 93

Tale: Designation x-touh software Designation Operating devie Group (G) Zone (Z) Sene (S) Sequene (SQ) Day plan (SDL) Week plan (SDLL) Sheduler Meaning DALI operating devie The x-touh software ommuniates with the operating devies (max. 64 per DALI line) via groups (max. 16). A group an be swithed and dimmed individually. Groups an also inlude EM, HID, LV, INC, CONF, LED or Somfy operating devies. Zones are only used in the Colour operating mode. One zone onsists of four predefined groups representing the olours red, green, blue and white. A sene is used to save a lighting situation defined by the setting of one or several groups. Several senes are saved in a time-speifi order in a sequene. One or several sequenes and/or senes are saved in a time-speifi order in a shedule. A shedule starts automatially every 24 hours at a preset time of the day. Eah shedule is assigned to one weekday. In this way, a shedule list is reated for the alendar-ontrolled, uninterruptible automation of lighting situations. When Sheduler is ativated, it appears in the Home menu and enables a sequene, shedule list and shedule to be ontrolled manually (Start, Pause, Stop and Off). Basi operating mode Typial appliation examples for the Basi operating mode are rooms where mostly white light is used, e.g. publi rooms, prodution halls, restaurants and hotels. You an define a maximum of 16 groups with a total of 128 devies 16 senes 99 sequenes 7 shedules 1 shedule list 47 / 93

48 DALI x/e-touhpanel 02 Colour operating mode All olours of the RGB olour spae are the result of the addition of the basi olours red, green and blue (RGB). For a better representation of white light an additional white light soure is used (RGBW olour mixing).the olour ontrol of a lighting system is performed in the Colour operating mode. The Colour operating mode is different from the standard Basi operating mode with respet to the grouping of the operating devies. In the x-touh software, eah RGB-/RGBW operating devie is assigned to the olour sale (red, green, blue, white) of a zone. Four zones with 4 olour sales are available. The olour sale of a zone orresponds to a group. In the Home menu, the white light an be swithed and dimmed via groups 1 to 4. The table shows the assignment of the 16 groups to the four olours of the individual zones. Zone assignment is automatially ontrolled by the software. W(hite) R(ed) G(reen) B(lue) Zone Zone Zone Zone Typial appliation examples for the Colour operating mode are rooms where mainly RGBW operating devies are used to implement freely design olour hanges and olour effets, e.g. in shop windows, bars and exhibition spaes.

58 Designing a DALI appliation Designing a DALI appliation This setion is intended to simplify the planning and onfiguration of DALI installations. Using examples from the Appliation Guide it disusses the typial requirements of a DALI system and the speial features of Tridoni produts. The following two aspets deserve speial attention when designing a DALI appliation. The oneptual aspet: What harateristis must the appliation have? Should there be daylight-dependent ontrol? Are speial lighting senes or olour appliations required?... The tehnial aspet: What is possible with DALI? What are the limitations of DALI and how do these affet the appliation?... In most ases, the prime onsideration will be the oneptual aspet. What are the harateristis of the lighting appliation and what requirements and riteria should they meet? You will then onsider the tehnial aspet and attempt to find the right produts to meet these riteria. The tehnial aspet of the DALI installation is losely assoiated with the planning proess. The key to a suessful DALI installation starts with the installation plan. The installation plan should ontain the following points: The position of all the DALI devies (inluding the devie type and devie name) The grouping of the DALI devies The DALI short address (optional); in some installations it makes sense to define the address at the planning stage The wiring of the DALI iruit inluding the juntion boxes (if there are multiple DALI iruits it is best to olour ode them) The able lengths for eah DALI iruit Conventional wiring or DALI If a requirement profile alls for flexible lighting ontrol in whih the assignment of the luminaires and ontrol gear an be hanged this must be defined in every detail before the installation phase. For onventional lighting management (without DALI) planners have to take into aount all the possible lighting ontrol options before work atually ommenes. Conventional planning would provide for multiple ontrol lines per room setion to over all the possible options. With DALI all the lighting ontrol options remain open even after the installation is omplete and hanges are needed to a partiular ontrol variant (planning seurity). There are no additional osts for multiple ontrol lines or rewiring ontrol lines. The deision to opt for DALI or a onventional ontrol system depends on the funtionality required and the flexibility with whih the lighting system is to be ontrolled. Design onsiderations A number of points deserve speial attention when designing a DALI appliation. Maximum of 64 DALI devies per DALI iruit Maximum of 16 DALI groups per DALI iruit Maximum of 16 DALI senes per DALI iruit 58 / 93

59 Designing a DALI appliation Maximum of 16 DALI senes per DALI iruit The urrent on the DALI iruit must not exeed the maximum urrent of the power supply (DALI PS/PS1 = 200mA or DALI PS2 = 240mA). The maximum able length depends on the maximum permitted voltage drop along the DALI able; this is defined as 2 V max. This orresponds to a maximum able length of 300 m for a line ross-setion of 1.5 mm²; ontat resistane must also be taken into aount. A voltage drop of 2V must not be exeeded. The reommended minimum able ross-setion is 1.5 mm² Current draw of the DALI iruit Eah devie in the DALI iruit onsumes urrent via the DALI iruit. The total urrent draw on the DALI iruit must not exeed the maximum urrent of the DALI power supply. To determine the urrent draw of a DALI iruit both the urrent draw of the DALI devies and the urrent draw of the DALI ontrollers must be taken into onsideration. The urrent draw of a DALI devie is defined in the DALI standard as 2 ma. The urrent draw of the individual DALI ontrollers (ComfortDIM devies) is shown in the relevant data sheets. It is important that the urrent draw of the DALI iruit does not exeed the maximum urrent of the power supply. In the ase of DALI-PS and DALI-PS1 this is 200 ma. Example: DALI iruit with 24 dimmable ballasts (PCA EXCEL), 3 DALI-GC and 3 DALI-SC Current draw of the individual DALI omponents (from the data sheet): Dimmable ballasts (PCA EXCEL) = 2 ma Group ontrollers (DALI-GC) = 6 ma Sene ontrollers (DALI-SC) = 6 ma Total urrent = Σ Current draw of DALI devies + Σ Current draw of DALI ontrollers Total urrent = 24 x ballasts + 3 x DALI GC + 3 x DALI SC Total urrent = 24 x 2 ma + 3 x 6 ma + 3 x 6 ma = 84 ma Maximum able length The maximum able length depends on the maximum permitted voltage drop along the DALI able; this is defined as 2 V max. Typially, this requirement is safely met for a able length of 300 m and a able ross-setion of 1.5 mm². Additional voltage drops at terminal points must be taken into onsideration. For ross-setions smaller than 1.5 mm² the maximum able length is redued aordingly / 93

60 Designing a DALI appliation Calulating the voltage drop The formula for alulating the voltage drop is as follows: U v Voltage drop in V I Current in A (0.25 A) S Cross setion in mm 2 l Cable length in m γ Eletrial ondutivity in m / (Ω mm 2), for opper able: 56 m / (Ω mm 2) I NOTICE The maximum urrent of 250 ma must be used for alulating the voltage drop. Example: DALI iruit with a able length of 300 m and a able ross-setion of 1.5 mm² Exat result: This example shows that: for a able length of 300 m the voltage drop along the able is V a further voltage drop of V is available for terminal points (ontat resistane) Rule of thump: As it is somewhat triky to alulate the able length based on the voltage drop the rule of thumb is as follows: If a ross-setion of 1.5 mm² is used, the maximum able length is 300 m. If a smaller ross-setion is used the possible able length is redued aordingly. I NOTICE Tridoni reommends always using a able ross-setion of 1,5 mm² for DALI ontrol lines. 60 / 93

61 Designing a DALI appliation Wiring The following points must be onsidered: Figure: Typial texture of used wires DALI systems are installed using onventional wiring material for line voltage. Two wires are needed for the DALI ontrol iruit. The line voltage and bus line may be routed in the same able. This orresponds to a 5-ore able (L, N, PE, DA, DA) I NOTICE Aording to DIN VDE 0100/T520/Part 6, main iruits and assoiated auxiliary iruits may be laid together even if the auxiliary iruits arry a lower voltage than the main iruits. Make sure to use able designed to take the maximum operating voltage. Figure: Different polarity of DALI lines There is no need to worry about the polarity of the DALI line. The DALI signal is not SELV. The installation instrutions for low voltage therefore apply There are no speial network topology requirements (star and mixed networking are permitted) 61 / 93

62 Designing a DALI appliation Figure: Maximum values of DALI lines ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) Maximum urrent: I < I Powersupply Maximum voltage drop: U = 2 V v Maximum line length: L = 300 m The maximum length of the DALI line is 300 m (for a able ross-setion of 1.5 mm²). For smaller ross-setions the length is redued aordingly. The voltage drop along the DALI ontrol line must not exeed 2 V / 93

The requirements for ontrol are as follows: The luminaire should be swithed and ontrolled at either of two ontrol points. There should be a setion of different lighting senarios (e.g. presentation) The luminaires must be apable of being dimmed Solution with DALI GC and DALI SC The room is divided into two groups, one for the LED downlights and the other for the linear luminaires. There are two swithing points available. One by the door for swithing the lighting on and off. This is implemented with a DALI SC with the senes Lighting on and Lighting off.

70 Start-up Start-up There are various ways of putting a DALI appliation into operation. Some of the omfortdim produts have the option of putting small (single-room) appliations diretly into operation. One of these produts is the DALI GC. With the DALI x-touhpanel it is easy to set up the parameters even for medium-size appliations. For information on how these produts an be used to set the parameters of a DALI iruit, please refer to Setion 3 of this manual or to the operating instrutions for the relevant produt. For large DALI appliations the simplest way to set up the DALI iruit is to use the masterconfigurator software. These two programs an be downloaded free of harge from the homepage at In addition the DALI USB is needed for onneting the DALI iruit to a omputer. Before you get started Before starting the set-up proess, make sure the DALI ballasts are onneted to the power supply and to the DALI iruit. If there is more than one DALI iruit you should also hek that the ballasts are onneted to the right DALI iruit. Are all the ballasts onneted to the power supply? Chek the power onnetion by swithing on the iruit breaker. All the DALI ballasts should go to the Power-On-Level (fatory setting 100%) Are all the ballasts onneted to the (right) DALI iruit? There are various ways of testing the iruit. You an test the installation with a DALI GC set to Broadast. The GC is used here to ativate the DALI iruit and hek whether all the devies in the DALI iruit swith on. If masterconfigurator is used for setting up the DALI installation there is also the option of heking whether all the ballasts are onneted to the right DALI iruit / 93

71 Start-up Sample set-up for a onferene room This setion uses the example of the onferene room from Chapter 4 to show how a DALI appliation an be put into operation with the aid of masterconfigurator in six easy steps. The onferene room ontains 8 DALI luminaires, two DALI SC units, one DALI GC unit and one DALI Power Supply. The rotary swithes on the DALI SC and GC have already been set to the orret position during installation. The luminaires are onneted to the power supply and to the DALI iruit. Solution with DALI GC and DALI SC The room is divided into two groups, one for the low-voltage halogen downlights and the other for the linear luminaires. There are two swithing points available. One by the door for swithing the lighting on and off. This is implemented with a DALI SC with the senes Lighting on and Lighting off. The seond by the window is implemented with a DALI-SC and a DALI-GC and enables any of four senes to be retrieved and both luminaire groups to be individually dimmed.

73 Start-up Installation The DALI iruit is installed using standard installation material for mains voltage. The mains voltage and DALI line may be routed in the same able. There is therefore no need for a separate bus line, but one an be used if required. Figure: Wiring diagram DALI USB is needed only for set-up with masterconfigurator and an then be removed. Installing and onneting DALI GC Standard swithes an be used for installing DALI GC. DALI GC is installed diretly in a flush-mounted box, underneath or behind the light swith. Power is supplied to DALI GC via the bus line. It must not be onneted to the a power supply. The swithes are onneted diretly to DALI GC (floating make ontats). Turn rotary swith to position 1 Group 1 is assigned to Swith T1 Group 2 is assigned to Swith T2 73 / 93

76 Start-up Setting up without software An appliation with two DALI SCs and one DALI GC enables the installation to be set up without software. Step 1: Enter programming mode on the DALI GC (new installation) DALI GC swithes to programming mode and addresses the DALI ballasts. After the addressing yle the DALI ballast with the first address is swithed to 100%, and all the others to the Min. Level parameter Step 2: Grouping the luminaires with the aid of DALI GC Selet the first luminaire => assign the right group to the seleted luminaire Selet the next luminaire => assign the right group to the seleted luminaire This proess is repeated until all eight luminaires have been assigned to the 2 groups. Step 3: Exiting the DALI GC programming mode Step 4: Saving the sene values Fade the two DALI groups to the required brightness value of sene 1 and save the value by pressing sene button 1 for 10 seonds. Repeat this proedure for the other senes. When you have ompleted these four steps the set-up proess is omplete and the system is ready for use. What are the limits of manual set-up? With manual set-up it is possible to put small appliations into operation. As the systems inrease in size, so the set-up proess beomes more and more omplex. It is therefore best to use masterconfigurator (see Referene list) to put these systems into operation. Manual set-up is not as flexible as set-up using a software tool. For example, a sene an only be set to the same value for an entire group (e.g. Group 1: 80% and Group 2: 20%). It is not possible to set different sene values within a group. Systems with DALI ontrol modules suh as DALI MC and DALI TOUCHPANEL an only be set up with the aid of a software tool / 93

77 Start-up Setting up with masterconfigurator The masterconfigurator enables the wiring of the DALI iruit to be tested, the devies to be addressed and the group and sene settings to be ompleted, all in 5 easy steps. The masterconfigurator has its own separate doumentation (see Referene list). Preparation Before you an start setting up with masterconfigurator the DALI iruit must be linked to the omputer via a DALI USB. Open the masterconfigurator to view the main window of the masterconfigurator. You an aess all the parameterisation and onfiguration options from this program window. Some options open further windows. Step 1: Testing the wiring This step heks that the wiring is orret for the installation. After the test has been started the DALI ommands Reall min. Level and Reall max. Level are sent alternately to all the devies in the DALI iruit, ausing the onneted devies to flash. This test determines whether ommuniation is working properly in the DALI iruit and whether all the devies in the DALI iruit are onneted. 77 / 93

Pressing the button again anels the test Step 2: Finding devies Start the Addressing Wizard Selet System extension or new initialisation" Selet new initialisation Press Next to start the addressing proess 78 / 93

79 Start-up Step 3: Testing the addresses Testing the addresses involves the devies being swithed on one after the other with all the other devies swithed off. The proess is repeated when the last address is reahed. This funtion an be used to hek whether the addresses are assigned as required. Step 4: Grouping the devies In this step the various ballasts are assigned to the DALI groups. Chose and highlight relevant devie Clik Add >>" to add devie to the group If neessary: Clik "<< Remove" to remove devie from group again 79 / 93

81 Maintenane and troubleshooting Step 5: Assigning senes In the Assign senes step dimming values for the various DALI groups an be assigned to the 16 DALI senes of the DALI iruit. Cliking on the Assign sene button transfers the values to the relevant ballasts. Setting parameters: Sene 1: Group 1 = 0 %, Group 2 = 0 % Sene 2: Group 1 = 100 %, Group 2 = 100 % Sene 3: Group 1 = 50 %, Group 2 = 20 % Sene 4: Group 1 = 10 %, Group 2 = 10 % and then press Assign senes This onludes the proess of setting parameters for the appliation. Detailed informationen about the masterconfigurator an be found in the manual of the tool (see Referene list). Figure: Example senes Sene 2 (100 %, 100 %) Sene 3 (50%, 20%) 81 / 93

82 Maintenane and troubleshooting Maintenane and troubleshooting Failure of a DALI ballast DALI is based to a large extent on distributed intelligene, whih means that the addresses and parameters suh as group assignment and sene values are stored in the DALI ballasts. If a ballast fails, these parameters must be reset in the replaement ballast. DALI ballasts straight from the fatory are not programmed with any addresses, group assignments or sene values. The simplest option is to use masterconfigurator: Replae the faulty ballast with a new ballast Address the ballast with the funtion System expansion or Only address new (not yet addressed) devies. The lowest free DALI short address is automatially assigned to the new DALI ballast. Sine there is an address missing in the iruit (that of the faulty ballast), it is automatially given the address of the old ballast. If several devies are faulty their replaements are randomly assigned the free addresses. Reprogram the group assignments and sene values. Exeeding the maximum able length or short-iruits in the DALI iruit There are ertain points that deserve speial attention when designing a DALI appliation. These inlude the limit on the urrent in the DALI iruit and the limit on the able length due to the maximum permissible voltage drop on the DALI line. What happens if these limits are exeeded? The system does not then behave as it should and some strange phenomena our. For example: DALI devies reat to broadast ommands but annot be found during addressing Not all the DALI devies onneted to the DALI iruit are found. Different numbers of devies are found at suessive addressing proesses. The devies do not reat reliably to DALI ommands. The ommonest problems in a DALI installation result from the maximum voltage drop in the iruit being exeeded and from a short-iruit somewhere on the DALI line. But how is the voltage drop in the DALI iruit measured? / 93

83 Maintenane and troubleshooting Measuring the voltage drop in a DALI iruit Proeed as follows: Chek that all the DALI devies are funtioning properly. Make sure there is no ommuniation on the DALI line. Measure the voltage at the DALI power supply.» The value must be between 11.5 V and 22.5 V; a typial value is 16 V.» A muh lower value may indiate a short-iruit. Measure the voltage at the DALI devie furthest from the DALI power supply.» The value must be between 9.5 V and 20.5 V.» A muh lower value indiates that there is a short-iruit somewhere. Create a short-iruit between DA and DA at the DALI devie furthest from the DALI power supply. Measure the voltage at the DALI power supply.» The value that you measure is the DALI voltage drop.» This value must not be higher than 2 V.» If it is higher than 2 V, hek whether any of the following have ourred:» The DALI line is too long (more than 300 m at 1.5 mm 2)» The ross-setion is too small» High ontat resistane» The value must be brought down below 2 V. Remove the short-iruit between DA and DA on the DALI devie furthest from the DALI power supply. Possible solution: DALI Repeater If the voltage drop is greater than 2 V, a possible solution is to use a DALI Repeater A DALI Repeater is not the right answer in every situation; its use depends to a large extent on the wiring. First, the wiring of the DALI iruit must be heked. This solution should only be used if no other solution is pratial. Above all, you must find out why the system has not been working properly up to now. Make sure that you will not be faed with the same problem again. A DALI Repeater an help If the DALI able is longer than 300 m with a ross-setion of 1.5 mm 2. If the ross-setion is too small. ½ CAUTION Please read the data sheet arefully before using a DALI repeater. Example: DALI iruit with a voltage drop greater than 2 V In this example the DALI voltage drop is well above the limit of 2 V. The DALI line is too long. It is 470 m instead of the permitted 300 m. 83 / 93

84 Maintenane and troubleshooting Example: Two DALI iruits with a voltage drop less than 2 V The DALI iruit is divided into two when a DALI repeater is used. The two iruits are now both below the maximum permitted DALI voltage drop of 2 V. The voltage drop must be measured in both iruits (at the two DALI power supplies). Two additional omponents are required a DALI PS and a DALI repeater / 93

85 Maintenane and troubleshooting Double addressing problem at set-up In rare ases more than one DALI devie may have the same short address. If a DALI ommand is sent to suh a short address the devies will reat simultaneously. It will not be possible to address just one devie; all the devies with the same short address will always reat together. It will not be possible to get the orret response from these devies. What an ause double addressing problems? The problem may our very rarely as a result of the normal addressing algorithm. DALI lines that have already been addressed are onneted to one another. A faulty DALI devie is replaed with a devie that has already been addressed. After addressing, the number of addressed devies is shown. This number (DALI short addresses) must be the same as the number of onneted devies. If there are fewer addresses than onneted devies the DALI iruit must be re-addressed. masterconfigurator provides a way of identifying any double addressing problems. It shows if a devie does not send bak a lear response. Unknown devies or false devie information also indiate double addressing or a faulty devie. If double addressing has ourred the DALI iruit must be readdressed (selet the option new installation ). This ation deletes all existing addressed and reassigns them / 93
