11.3 DALI Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing problems with your DALI systems please follow this check list for
troubleshooting:
Check L-DALI firmware version
: Ensure you are using the latest L-DALI firmware
version available via the LOYTEC website (
Test ballast wiring
: On devices without LCD UI press the ON/OFF/AUTO button (see
Section 4.5.2) once and verify all DALI luminaires connected to the channels
connected to the L-DALI switch on, press it again and verify that they switch off.
Finally press the button again to return to normal operation. On device with LCD UI
perform the same test by using the Manual Override menu item in the LCD UI sub-
menu DALI (see Section 4.6).
Figure 263: DALI Menu on LCD UI.
If not all ballasts switch on and off, check the DALI and mains wiring of the affected
ballasts. To check the DALI wiring, measure the voltage between the DALI terminals
of the luminaire’s ballast. It should be between 16 V DC and 22.5 V DC and must not
fall below 14 V DC. If wiring is OK, check whether lamp or ballast are broken.
Check device limits
: Verify the number of ballast does not exceed the limits given in
Section 8.4.2.
Check cable length
: Verify DALI lines are no longer than a total of 300 m per DALI
channel.
Check supported device types
: If your DALI network contains other devices than just
DALI ballasts (e.g. sensors, buttons, etc.) check the L-DALI Compatibility list (see [9])
whether those devices are supported by the L-DALI.
Check Tridonic MSensor setup
: If your system contains sensors of type Tridonic
MSensor please check the dial on the back of the sensor is set up correctly (as
described in Section 8.4.4.3).
