Setting up
Construction site mode:
The entire system can be operated at any time with the master button (master sum function) whether it has been configured
or not. Briefly pressing the button switches all the DALI units on or off. Holding the button down will adjust the brightness of
the lamps connected to all the DALI units (up or down).
This enables the wiring of the central button and the function of all the DALI units to be tested.
Button test
In this test mode the wiring of switches T1 to T4 can be tested. To start the test, briefly press the reset button on the control-
ler; the lamps of all the DALI units will come on at their minimum light settings.
Pressing button T1 causes the lighting to flash once, pressing T2 causes it to flash twice, and so on.
Press the master button to exit from this test mode.
Basic setting/reset
The reset button is used to place the system in a defined initial state when the system is first used and enables it to return
quickly to its basic setting. All the units are assigned to the first group and scene 1 to 4 are predefined. If none of the units
has ever been assigned to a group (“new system“) the DALI controller performs this basic setting automatically when power
is supplied.
Performing a reset:
Interrupt the power supply to the controller and wait until the “ON” LED goes out. Hold down the Reset button and at the
same time restore the power supply. Release the Reset button as soon as the “Fault” LED goes out.
Note:
A reset will cancel all group assignments and scene settings.
Group assignment
Group assignments are locked by a code so they cannot be inadvertently changed. The procedure for removing this lock is
as follows:
•
Hold down the master button, T1 and T2 simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the entire system flashes. Now release
the buttons.
•
In the next 10 seconds press the master button again and hold down for about 5 seconds until the entire system is
switched to the minimum dimmer setting. Now release the master button.
The controller will now search for DALI units. As soon as one is identified its lamp will start to flash. The unit can now be as-
signed to one of the four groups 1 to 4 by pressing one of the switches T1 to T4.
The DALI units that already belong to the group will switch their lamps to maximum brightness while the lamp(s) of the unit
to be assigned will continue to flash. The lamps of all other units will remain at their minimum brightness levels (assignment
control).
The assignment may be changed by pressing a different switch (T1 to T4) any number of times until the desired configuration
has been found. The assignment to the group for the current unit is not stored until the master button is clicked. The control-
ler then automatically searches for the next DALI unit.
As soon as the last unit has been assigned the group assignment mode is automatically ended. This is indicated by the entire
lighting system flashing once.
Note:
The search for DALI units may take a few seconds. The order in which the units are found is random.
The group assignment can be locked (for details see page 14).
