11. Additional Information
DALI
When a DALI light management system is implemented there are some limits to take into account. One DALI-loop can contain 64 addresses and
250mA power consumption. A motion sensor is powered by the DALI loop and consumes 15mA. A fixture consumed 2mA.
These limits are taken into account when a lighting control is offered to determine the number of DALI routers needed. In addition, the loop should
not be longer than 300 meters because of the voltage drop. The E-installer needs to take this into account when drafting his installations.
Inrush current
The inrush current of the LED driver has to be taken into account when designing the electrical installation and determining fuse types. The inrush
current peak can cause the fuse to clog out when turning on multiple fixtures at once. Because of the inrush current it may therefore be necessary
to implement an inrush current limiter.
The specifications of the LED driver are available on request.
Do’s and don’ts
•
always disconnect the power when working with wiring
•
always work with 2 persons to click the BB Lightpipe into the fixture
•
the distance between the mounting brackets can be 2,5 meters maximum
•
the BB Lightpipe can be turned off by DALI, take into account that in this case there is still power on the driver
•
always use pop rivits to secure the BB Lightpipe to the bracket
•
the warranty of the electronic components will be cancelled if damage to the BB Lightpipe occurs when using a temporary power supply
