Description
The ekinex EK-BG1-TP gateway establishes the bidirec-
tional data connection between a DALI system and a KNX
bus system. The gateway allows you to control lighting
devices equipped with a standard DALI interface and
different light sources (such as fluorescent lamps, high
intensity discharge lamps and LEDs) by means of KNX
devices (such as buttons, motion and presence sensors
or touchpanels). The device has an integrated KNX bus
communication module and is designed for mounting on a
35 mm profile DIN rail. The device is powered at 230 VAC
and supplies SELV power to the DALI bus.
DALI
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is an open
and interoperable worldwide standard dedicated to ligh-
ting applications and specified by the IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission). The DALI protocol is inclu
-
ded in the technical standard IEC 62386 Digital addressa
-
ble lighting interface.

KNX - Dali Gateway
Code: EK-BG1-TP
Mounting
The device has degree of protection IP20 and is there
-
fore suitable for use in dry indoor environments. The en-
closure is designed to be mounted on a DIN profile rail
according to EN 60715 inside switchboards or electrical
distribution cabinets. The device must be mounted in a
vertical position; correct positioning is with the terminal for
the KNX bus is located at the bottom.
i
Note.
When installing in switchboards and distribution cabinets,
the necessary ventilation must be ensured in order to maintain
the temperature within the operating range allowed for the ap-
pliance.
