features 

 

 

Three Phase Supply 

3 phase and neutral at 63A per phase. 
 

 

12 Switched Outputs 

Each  20A  output  is  switched  via  a  high 
specification  relay  with  specially  treated 
contacts  which  prevent  contact fusion  when 
switching very reactive loads. 
 

 

12 Control Outputs 

Each of the 12 optically isolated outputs can 
be  configured  to  be  either  1-10V,  DSI  or 
DALI serial control, covering the latest types 
of HF Fluorescent Ballasts. Also compatible 
with  1-10V,  DSI  and  DALI  dimmable 
electronic transformers. 
 

 

MCB Protection 

Each  mains  output  is  protected  by  a  single 
pole magnetic circuit breaker. 
 

 

Many Control Options 

Control  of  this  device  can  be  from  a 
combination  of  methods,  eg.  serial  control 
port,  relay  contacts,  push  button  wall 
stations,  infra  red  receivers  and  timeclocks.  
Easy high-level interface to other popular AV 
control  systems  and  Building  Management 
Systems (BMS) is also available. 
 

 

Simple Installation 

Wall-mount  enclosure  with  mounting  lugs 
facilitates  installation.    Cable  knockouts  are 
provided  at  the  top  and  right  hand  side  of 
the  enclosure  for  supply  and  load  cables, 
with low voltage (LV) control at the bottom. 

  

 

important safeguards 

 

Warning 

–  This  is  a  class  A  product.    In  a  domestic 

environment this product may cause radio interference, in 
which  case  the  user  may  be  required  to  take  adequate 
measures.  

Read  Instructions

 

– We recommend that  you read  this 

instruction manual prior to commencement of installation.  
Retain instructions and give the end user.

Troubleshooting

  -  If  problems  are  encountered,  check 

the troubleshooting section on page 8. 

Special  Programming

 

–  Once  powered  and  terminated 

correctly  this  device  will  only  operate  in  basic  mode.  A 
new Dynalite panel will turn on all lighting channels from 
button 1 and turn off from button 4 if network terminations 
are correct. Only once the full network is test correct can 
commissioning  begin.  Advanced  functions  can  be 
commissioned via Envision software. If commissioning is 
required, contact your local distributor for details.   

Check  Connections

 

–  Treat  this  device  as  a 

switchboard  that  has  been  shipped.  Tighten  all  load-
carrying  screw  connections,  as  vibrations  from  transport 
can  cause  MCB  and  terminal  block  screws  to  become 
loose. 

Power

 

Sources

 

–  This  device  should  only  be  operated 

from the type of supply specified on the front panel.  This 
device 

must

 be earthed. 

Output  Circuits

 

–  The  load  on  a  circuit  should  not 

exceed  the  specified  capacity  of  20A.    Loads  should  be 
calculated to ensure that the overall maximum capacity of 
189A is not exceeded. 

Load  Control  Circuits

 

–  If  this  device  is  being  used  to 

control  1-10V,  DSI  or  DALI  HF  fluorescent  ballasts,  a  2 
core mains rated control cable is required to be run to the 
loads, in addition to the mains feed. 

Load Type

 

– Default settings are for load control outputs 

to  be  DSI.    Check  to  see  what  type  of  HF  Fluorescent 
Ballasts  are  in  the  luminaries.    Do  not  terminate  the 
control lines  to  any  DALI  or  DSI loads  until  the  relevant 
channel  has  been  programmed  appropriately.    When 
connecting 1-10V load control lines, pay attention that the 
correct polarity is maintained. 

Megger  Testing

 

–  Do  not  megger  test  any  circuitry 

connected  to  the  dimming  system,  as  damage  to  the 
electronics may result. 

Mounting Location

 

– This device must be mounted right 

way  up,  on  a  vertical  surface  (refer  to  page  4  for 
mounting instructions).  The specified minimum clearance 
of  100mm for  all  sides  must  be  adhered  to.    Install in  a 
dry,  well-ventilated  location.    Controllers may  emit  some 
mechanical noise.  Take this into account when deciding 
the mounting location. 

Data Cable

 

– The recommended cable for connections to 

the  serial  port  is  screened,  stranded  RS485  data  cable 
with  three  twisted  pairs.  Part  numbers  for  various 
manufacturers are listed on page 6. This cable should be 
segregated from mains cables by a minimum distance of 
300mm. If anticipated cable runs are over 600 metres for 
serial cables, consult your dealer for advice. Do not cut or 
terminate live data cables. 

 

 

Warning 

 

TO  REDUCE  THE  RISK  OF  FIRE  OR 
ELECTRIC  SHOCK,  DO  NOT  EXPOSE 
THIS DEVICE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.  

 

DO  NOT  ENERGISE  UNLESS  THE 
FRONT COVER IS IN PLACE.  

 

THIS DEVICE MUST BE EARTHED.  

 

INSTALLATION,  PROGRAMMING  AND 
MAINTENANCE  MUST  BE  CARRIED 
OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
