ADD GROUP TO PRE-ADDRESSED DALI LUMINAIRES
Setup of existing luminaires on a DALI network is important even if some or all of the luminaires are not to be controlled by the
Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector currently being installed. In setting up luminaires the DALI Occupancy Detector updates its list of
DALI addresses currently in use, so that those addressed are not allocated to new luminaires. To get the Occupancy Detector to setup
DALI luminaires:
1. Select the required group on the DALI Occupancy Detector dip switches as per the Table 1 above.
2. You must turn lights OFF with the remote first to operate and program in this mode. To do this, point the remote control at the
DALI
Occupancy Detector & press the override off button. While in override off the DALI Occupancy Detector LED flashes white.
3. Set the remote control to installer mode by pressing the hidden installer button inside the battery compartment, the remote control
LED illuminates red.
4. Point the remote control at the Occupancy Detector & press button ‘1‘. The detector will now search the network for luminaires that
have a DALI short address pre-programmed.
5. Once the search is complete the lamps will pulsate. If you want the Occupancy Detector to control the pulsating luminaire in
the group, press the remote control brightness up button for ‘YES‘ or brightness down button for ‘NO‘. If ‘YES‘ is pressed the
luminaires ballast is updated with the DALI group currently set on the Occupancy Detectors dip switches and it updates its address
list and controller list. This luminaire is now in the Occupancy Detectors group. If ‘NO‘ is pressed only the address list is updated
and the Occupancy Detector will not control this luminaire in that group selected. Please note twin fluorescent DALI luminaires will
only pulsate if both tubes are engaged in the fitting correctly and are both working normally.
SET UP FOR BRAND NEW UNADDRESSED DALI LUMINAIRES
The Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector has the ability to do basic setup of brand new luminaires. With the ‘Add new luminaires‘
function, group and scene information can then be programmed into the ballast within the luminaire. When new luminaires are
addressed for the first time you must then complete the ‘Add group to pre-addressed luminaires‘. N.B. If there are existing pre-
programmed luminaires already on the network skip back to ‘Setting Group Mode‘ first before returning to this section.
To put the Occupancy Detector into ‘Add new luminaires‘ mode:
PLEASE NOTE THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
1. You must turn lights off first with the remote to operate and program in this mode. To do this, point the remote control at
the Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector & press the override off button. While in override off the Occupancy Detector LED
flashes white.
2. Set the Dipswitch with the group number you wish to use for the Occupancy Detector .
3. Set the remote control to installer by pressing the hidden installer button inside the battery compartment, the remote control
LED illuminates red.
4. Point the remote control at the Occupancy Detector & press button ‘2‘ at the bottom of the remote control while the remote
LED is red. The Occupancy Detector will now search for uncommitted DALI ballasts and program an unused DALI short address.
An uncommitted luminaire will flash up to 5 times. During this search the blue signal LED on the Occupancy Detector will flash
repeatedly.
5. When the Occupancy Detector flashes red the search is completed and any correctly programmed luminaires on the DALI
network system will be unaffected. Once completed the newly setup luminaires can have a group (see Add group to‚ pre-
addressed luminaires) and a basic set of scenes (see ‘Set Scenes‘) programmed into their ballasts.
Any correctly programmed luminaires on the DALI network will be unaffected. Once completed the newly setup luminaire(s)
can have a group (see Add group to pre-addressed luminaires.) and a basic set of scenes (see ‘Set scenes’) programmed into
their ballasts.
