If you choose the wrong current (less than 6,6 A), the error message "Test denied — wrong current" is displayed in the self
test state field.
2.6 Planning data, restrictions and performance data
The current RELIANCE IL supports the operation of 70 individual lights (with single-channel remotes) or 140 individual lights
(with dual-channel remotes) within one series circuit because the number of transformers is limited to 70. At the same time,
individual co-ordinations of the CU and the remotes are avoided by setting a maximum value of an odd number. It is good to
have (numbers of r 10) to improve the reliability of communication.
Lights have to be grouped into segments and assigned to a segment address wherever it makes sense to do so in order to
establish an optimized system implementation. It is possible to use up to 24 segment addresses (circuit segments) within one
circuit. 24 segments can be switched by default. Segment size can vary from one to a maximum of 127 remotes.
One or two segment addresses are used if remotes are switched to ensure a completely independent operation of the
connected lamps.
Highest level of reliability is achieved by choosing a rated output for the secondary transformer that is twice as high as the
power loss of the equipment (usually lamps and secondary cables) connected to the lamp outlets of the remotes (SRU type
101 and 102 or 111 and 112). The power has to be at least 200 W.
Up to 24 lamps or lamp segments can be switched at once with one control command lasting less than one second.
Valid information related to blown halogen lamps or failed functions of remotes (hardware errors) are rated cyclically. Cycle
time can be set to values from five seconds to several minutes.
NOTICE
It is important that, if components of the new RELIANCE IL are integrated into your circuit, the remaining components
must be compatible.
