The devices of ABB are fitted with Fresnel lenses. Compared to normal lenses, Fresnel lenses
offer the advantage of an increase in the amplification of infrared radiation.

4.1.4 DALI
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is comprehensive manufacturer interface standard
for dimmable electronic ballasts. DALI offers increased functionality with easier handling. A
maximum of 45 DALI operating devices can be controlled individually or together.
A single 2-wire control line for up to 45 operating devices offers several advantages.
■
The planning of the control line and the power supply can take place completely separate
from each other.
– Alternatively, the control line can be accommodated in one cable together with the
power supply line. E.g. 5 x 1.5 mm

NYM-J.
■
No relays are necessary for switching of the lamps. Switching and dimming is carried out
exclusively via the control line.
■
The devices from ABB use the DALI broadcast mode. This means that all operating devices
connected to the DALI control line are controlled together.
■
The deactivation of the DALI buses allow the devices to switch totally free of voltage and are
therefore free of power consumption.
■
The DALI extension units do not require a separate mains supply. They can be directly
connected to the DALI control line.
