Application
Refer to the mini BLC DALI product sheet (see chess.nl) for the environmental conditions.
Installation
•Install the mini BLC DALI in the direct neighborhood of other Mymesh products.
•Mount the mini BLC DALI with 2x M3 screw/bolt (76 mm distance).
•Use maximal 1.5 mm2 wiring for all connections. Push the wires completely into the terminal
block. Use wire end sleeves when using flexible wires.
•Connect the 230VAC supply voltage to the mini BLC DALI and DALi driver. Connect the DALI
lines of the mini BLC DALI and DALI driver (see wiring diagram below).
•One mini BLC DALI controls one luminaire. It is only allowed to connect a DALI Emergency
driver as a second driver on the DALI BUS

Antenna mounting
•Connect the supplied antenna to the antenna connector.
•The antenna is used for wireless communication with other Mymesh products. Operation of
the antenna should not be disrupted.
oDo not mount the antenna inside a metal housing, flat on a metal surface or directly
next to a large metal object.
oSome glass and plastic materials such as safety glass, tinted glass and double glass
influence the operation of an antenna.
oUse a plastic, polycarbonate or fiberglass housing without carbon
oMount the antenna outside the luminaire if necessary. Ensure that the thickened part
at the end of the antenna is positioned outside a housing plus 1.5cm of the antenna
cable. Use a grommet for protection of the antenna cable.

•Depending on the installation of the antenna in the luminaire the range is damped to a
greater or lesser extent. The range of the antenna is divided into four categories:
o–75 to 100% antenna range for situations where luminaires are installed
far apart in an open space (approx. 30-50 meters) OR
for situations where luminaires are installed in close proximity (approx. 20-30 meters)
in complex buildings with a lot of damping through walls, partitions and ceilings
o–50 to 75% antenna range is acceptable for situations where luminaires
are installed in close proximity (approximately 10-20 meters) in buildings with limited
attenuation due to partitions.
o–25 to 50% antenna range is acceptable for situations where luminaires
are installed in an open space in close proximity (approximately 10-20 meters).
o–no antenna range. Do not apply.
•The following installation examples of the antenna are for illustrative purposes. Contact
Chess in case of doubt.
