Setup and installation

The steps to setup the device are as follows:
1.  connect the load LEDs to the output terminal blocks 

“OUT” of the device.

2.  connect the local command to INPUT terminal blocks 

and / or connect the DALI bus to the related terminal 

blocks;

3.  connect the 12/24 Vdc power supply to the terminal 

blocks “DC IN” of the device.

As an alternative to using local commands, a DALI / KNX 

Gateway can be connected to a KNX pushbutton.

INSTALLATION TECHNICAL NOTES

•  Installation and maintenance must be 

performed only if the power supply has 

been turned off.

•  Installation and maintenance must only 

be  performed  by  qualified  personnel  in 

compliance with current regulations.

•  The product  must  be  installed  insi-

de an electrical panel protected against 

overvoltages.

•  The product must be installed in a verti-

cal position with the front / label facing 

the front or in a horizontal position with 

the front / label facing upwards. Other 

product installation positions are not al-

lowed. The bottom position with the front 

panel / label facing down is not allowed.

•  Keep separated the circuits at 230V (LV) 

and the circuits not SELV from circuits 

to low voltage (SELV) and from any con-

nection with this product. It is absolutely 

forbidden to connect, for any reason 

whatsoever, directly or indirectly, the 

230V mains voltage to the bus or to other 

parts of the circuit.

!

Before removing the device, be sure that inputs, outputs, 

and the DC power supply have been disconnected. By 

using a screwdriver, slide the locking device down and 

remove the device from the profile rail.

DALI bus line and command connections

The connection to the DALI bus network and the local 

commands is done via the screw terminal, located on the 

front of the device in the upper part.

The length of the connection cables between the local 

commands (N.O. Pushbutton, 0-10V, 1-10V, Potentiome-

ter or other) and the product must be less than 10m; the 

cables must be dimensioned correctly and they should be 

isolated from every wiring or parts at voltage not SELV. 

Use double insulated shielded and twisted cables.

The length and type of the connection cables to the DALI 

bus must be compliant with the protocol specification and 

with the present regulations and they should be isolated 

from every wiring or parts at voltage not SELV. Use dou-

ble insulated shielded and twisted cables.

All the devices and the control signal connected to the 

DALI bus and to the local command (N.O. Pushbutton, 

0-10V, 1-10V, Potentiometer or other) must be SELV (the 

devices connected must be SELV or supply a SELV si-

gnal).

Characteristics of the DALI terminal block

b) Place the support clamping tooth on the top edge of the mounting 

rail and rotate device and support towards the guide until it completely 

engages

c) Once fastened, connect the bus line, the inputs and the outputs

Installation scheme

Note. 

When mounting the device in boards and ca-

binets it shall be provided the necessary ventilation 

so that the temperature can be kept within the ope-

rating range of the device.
