Manual control
The DALI Gateway permits to manually control all available DALI groups. The keypad with 4 function
keys and 3 status LEDs on the front panel of the device can be used for setting the following modes of
operation...
–
Bus mode: operation with touch sensors or other bus devices
–
Temporary manual control mode: manual operation locally with keypad, automatic return to bus
mode,
–
Permanent manual control mode: local manual operation with keypad
The operation of the function keys, the control of the outputs and the status indication are described in
detail in chapter 2.5 “Operation".
The following paragraphs are to give a more detailed description on the parameterization, status
feedback, disabling via bus mode and interactions with other functions of the DALI Gateway with
activated and deactivates manual control.
Manual control is possible only if the Gateway is supplied with power from the mains. The DALI
Gateway is delivered with fully enabled manual control mode. In this unprogrammed state, all
connected DALI devices can be controlled via the broadcast function that permits fast operational
testing of the connected drives (e.g. on the construction site).
After the first commissioning of the Gateway with the ETS, the manual control mode can be enabled or
disabled separately for different states of operation. Manual control can, for instance, be disabled
during bus mode (bus voltage applied). Another option is the complete disabling of the manual control
only in the case of bus voltage failure. Therefore, manual control can be completely disabled during the
bus mode if bus disable as well as bus failure disable is active.
Enabling the manual control mode
Manual control for the different states of operation is enabled or disabled by means of the "Manual
control in case of bus voltage failure" and "Manual control during bus mode" parameters .
Set the "Manual control in case of bus voltage failure" parameter to "enabled".
Manual control is then basically enabled when the bus voltage is off. This corresponds to the setting
in the delivery state.
Set the "Manual control in case of bus voltage failure" parameter to "disabled".
Manual control is completely disabled when the bus voltage is off. Because bus mode is not
available in that state, the DALI groups of the Gateway can no longer be addressed.
Set the "Manual control during bus mode" parameter to "enabled".
Manual control is then basically enabled when the bus voltage is on. The DALI groups of the
Gateway can be operated either via the bus or manually. This setting corresponds to the delivery
state.
Set the "Manual control during bus mode" parameter to "disabled".
Manual control is completely disabled when the bus voltage is on. With this configuration, the DALI
groups can only be operated via the bus.
