Applications and functions
The DALI CB Type 1 is a multifunctional control unit for cost-effective easy-to-use lighting control. It can be used for both
closed-loop control (daylight/presence-dependent) and open-loop control.
The Type 1 Controller enables four luminaire groups to be freely configured and four different scenes (separate light settings
for the entire room) to be set up and stored on the basis of individual brightness settings for these luminaires. The controller
can operate up to 64 DALI units. These units may be ECGs or DALI to 1-10V converters.
They are set up and operated with up to five standard switches for mains voltage (there is no need for a separate program-
ming unit). The lighting system can be adapted at any time to suit different requirements.
Detailed description
:
Of the four available scenes, scene 1 is reserved for constant lighting control; a maximum of three control circuits for con-
stant lighting control (daylight-dependent dimming) can be created. The three other scenes are integrated in the presence
function, but do not support constant lighting control. The light sensors are assigned permanently to groups 1 to 3 by means
of the wiring.
When someone enters the room the presence function activates scene 1 (constant light scene). If a different setting is select-
ed (for example scene 2 for a presentation) this setting will remain in force until the system reverts to its basic state a certain
time after the last person has left the room.
The sensors start working as soon as power is supplied to the Type 1 Controller. If sensors (light/presence) are not linked to
the controller, these functions will not be available. In this case, the controller will operate simply as an open-loop control unit
and not as a closed-loop control unit.
A maximum of six sensors can be connected. The presence function works across all the connected sensors.
The five switches for operating the system are shown here:
The Type 1 Controller has various ways of indicating faults such as lamp faults, DALI interface faults and button wiring faults.
A fault message can be forwarded via the floating switching contact to a separate system.
The Type 1 Controller includes the power supply for the DALI interfaces and the power supply for the sensors.
By using DALI converters it is possible to transfer the functions of the controller to existing 1-10V/0-10V systems.
