NOTE!
Reversing the polarity of the connections will lead to a loss of functionality in
one or more participants.
Note the labels on the terminals.
The protection against reverse polarity integrated in the EIB devices will
prevent damage.

4.3.8 Connecting SmartDrivers in parallel
If you connect SmartDrivers in parallel using DALI, all lights connected to
the SmartDrivers form a single lighting group. Lights in a lighting group exe-
cute all commands issued using a remote control, an app or a button.
The number of SmartDrivers that can be connected in parallel and the num-
ber of lights that can be part of a lighting group depends on which Smart-
Driver models are used:
SmartDriver
model
SmartDrivers connected
in parallel (maximum)
Lights per lighting group
(maximum)
ELC SmartDriver TW x4
10
40
ELC SmartDriver TW x6
6
36
ELC SmartDriver TW x8
5
40
You can control even more lights at once by connecting the light-
ing groups via ELC bus. See table page 31.
If you are connecting more than five SmartDrivers in parallel, you must con-
figure the devices accordingly in advance.
