DALI Addressing 

The configuration tool allows you to set an address that the commands are set to for each button.  By 

default each button is set to Broadcast, which means all units on the network will respond. 

 

To use any of the other addresses you will need to commission the units to have the addresses & groups 

programmed. 

 

Dimming Options 

Within the DALI standard there are 3 possible methods to dim a light fitting. 

Stop Dim 

Any dimming command can be halted through the use of this command.  By using it in combination with 

the Go to Level command (which uses the DALI Fade Time), a reliable fade can be achieved.

These commands will dim the level for a period of 200ms at the rate specified in DALI Fade Rate.  They 

cannot dim to off, nor can they dim from off.  When these commands are assigned to a long press, the 

PosiTouch will repeat them every 200ms while the button is pressed.
