Installation 

Prior to installation of the PosiTouch, it should be configured using the PosiTouch 

Configuration Tool.  This configures the DALI commands associated with each 

button.  

 

Installation merely requires the connection of the 2 DALI wires.  The PosiTouch 

draws power from the DALI bus, so there is nothing further to connect.  Refer to 

Appendix B.  DALI Networking Basics for further information regarding DALI wiring. 

 

Operation 

The PosiTouch is operated simply by touching the buttons marked on the wall 

plate.  When a button is active its corresponding LED will turn on, and the 

associated action will trigger accordingly.

Short Press 

A short press action occurs when a button is pressed and released in under 0.3s. 

Long Press 

A long press action occurs when a button is pressed for longer than 0.3s.  When some DALI 

commands are assigned to a long press they are repeated until the button is released. 

Release 

A release action occurs when the button is released following a long press.
