DALIBOX Interface 64/32
Technical Support:
19
Important
:
➢
To let reducing the number of ballasts in the installation
(which may
cause a permanent ballast presence error), the Write flag of the
communication object that reports this error has been enabled, so the error
can be cl
eared by sending it the value “0”. Whenever this happens, the
device will assume the current number of ballasts as correct. This can also
be done via the display, as detailed in section 2.8.
➢
To replace a defective ballast
, please proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the defective ballast keeping DALIBOX Interface on.
2. Wait for the detection of the ECG presence error (which may take
up to 70 seconds).
3. Clear the ballast presence error (via object or display).
4. Connect the new ballast (it will be assigned the first DALI address
available).
5. Assign the new ballast the address of the removed ballast.
If, despite following these steps, the new ballast is not detected correctly or
is not well configured, disconnect it for at least one minute and reconnect it.
Thus, DALIBOX Interface will reconfigure it.
Note
:
in case an open circuit takes place (either due to the disconnection of
the DALI bus or to a general power failure of the ballasts), DALIBOX Interface
64/32 will report an ECG presence error for each ballast.
The
diagnostic errors
are errors detected by the ballasts themselves.
DALIBOX Interface 64/32 is informed about them when it requests the status
from the ballast.
➢
ECG Failure
: the ballast cannot operate normally. The reasons that cause
this error depend on the manufacturer.
➢
Lamp failure
: the lamp cannot be switched on normally, either due to a
defect (burned-out bulb) or to an incorrect connection.
Note
:
the dimming level must be higher than 0% in order to detect the lamp
failure error. Otherwise, even if the lamp is burnt out, the ECG will not be
able to detect it
.
