Datasheet STEKGD1DL4HV_EN
Note: values for output current and nominal power
have to be intended as maximum values, depen-
ding on the ventilation conditions. The reported va-
lues are measured with a room temperature of 40
°C. For electronic loads and/or LEDs whose PFC or
harmonic distortion is not known, consider the maxi-
mum power halved compared to the nominal value.

remove the device from the rail.
Protections
The device is equipped with the following protections:
• OVP Input voltage peak protection
• RVP Overcurrent protection with 3 A non-resettable
fuse
• OCP Output open circuit protection
Mounting
The device has degree of protection IP00 (IP20 inside a
wall-mounting box or electrical panel), and are therefore
suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The mounting must
be performed on a proled rail according to EN 60715
inside electrical distribution panels and cabinets.
To disassemble the device, to have rst to disconnect the
inputs, outputs and power supply.
When assembling, make sure to leave only the front pa-
nel accessible; all other sides must not be accessible.
Proceed as follows:
• with the aid of a tool bring the locking device in the fully
lowered position (a);
• place the upper edge of the rear inner prole on the
upper edge of the rail (b);
• rotate the device towards the rail (c);
• push the locking device upward until it stops (d).
Control, signaling and connection elements
The device is equipped with a spring clamp for connecting
the output loads on 4 channels and the 90 - 230 Vac input
power supply (4). There is also a signaling LED for the
presence of the power supply (2), a button and LED for
each channel (3), for local on / o󰀨 test also in case of DALI
bus absence and nally a spring terminal for connection
of the DALI line (1).
The terminals for power supply and loads follow the dia-
gram in the table:

Note. When mounting the device in boards and ca-
binets it shall be provided the necessary ventilation
so that the temperature can be kept within the ope-
rating range of the device.

INSTALLATION TECHNICAL NOTES
• Installation and maintenance must be
performed only if the power supply has
been turned o󰀨.
• Installation and maintenance must only
be performed by qualied personnel in
compliance with current regulations.
• The product must be installed inside a
wall mounting box or an electrical panel,
where it is recommended to install a sur-
ge protector.
• The product must be protected by a sui-
tably sized fuse.
• The product must be protected by a su-
itably sized magnetothermic switch on
the main input line.
• The product must be installed in a verti-
cal position with the front / label facing
the front or in a horizontal position with
the front / label facing upwards. Other
product installation positions are not al-
lowed.
• Do not connect inductive loads.
Do not connect to UPS (uninter-
ruptible power supply) with ou-
tput other than Pure Sine Wave.
The device is not grounded. Protection
from accidental contacts is guaranteed
by the casing.
• Use in thermally harsh environments
could limit the output power.
• In the system, keep the 90-230Vac circu-
its and the non-SELV circuits separate
from the SELV circuits at very low safety
voltage and from the DALI bus
• It is absolutely forbidden to connect, for
any reason whatsoever, directly or indi-
rectly, the 90-230Vac mains voltage to
the DALI bus or to the loads.
• Use double insulated cables.
!
DALI bus line connections
The connection to the DALI bus network is done via the
spring clamp terminal, located on the front of the device
in the upper part.
The length and type of the connection cables to the DALI
bus must be compliant with the protocol specication and
the present regulations and they should be isolated from
every wiring or parts at voltage not SELV. Use double in-
sulated shielded and twisted cables.
All the devices connected to the DALI bus must be SELV
(the devices connected must be SELV or supply a SELV
signal).
Connection of power supply and loads
The connection to the 90-230 Vac 50-60Hz power supply
is done via the spring terminals, located in the lower part
of the device.
Characteristics of the supply and loads terminal block
• Spring tightening of the conductors
• Power and loads wiring: 1.5 mm2solid – 2.5 mm2stran-
ded – 16 - 13 AWG
• Stripping recommended approx.: 5.0 - 6.0 mm
Output
The cables connected to the outputs must be correctly
sized and must be isolated from any wiring or parts with
di󰀨erent voltages. The length and type of connection ca-
bles must comply with the regulations in force.
Characteristics of the DALI terminal block
• Spring tightening of the conductors
• Command and bus wiring: 0.05 mm2solid – 1.5 mm2
stranded – 30 - 16 AWG
• Conductor stripping recommended: 5.0 - 6.0 mm
• Length of connection cables < 25 m
Conguration and commissioning
Conguration and commissioning activities of the device
must be carried out according to the design of the building
automation system done by qualied planners.
For commissioning the device the following activities are
required:
• make the electrical connections as indicated above;
• power up the supply and the DALI bus;
• carry out the device programming via a DALI interface.
By holding down the button relating to a channel, a test
is carried out on the connected load, which lights up and
ashes for 1s.
Installation diagrams
The device can be installed by wiring the outputs with ei-
ther a separate COM pole or a common COM pole. The
following schemes can be implemented:

Conguration change
Subsequently, it is possible to change the device con-
guration and addressing by using a DALI application for
parameterization, which allows you to:
• congure the DALI system and dene its parameters;
• set the DALI devices (groups, scenarios, IDs, etc.);
• test the communication on the DALI bus;
• update the device.
