General instructions
Easydim2 must only be installed and put into operation by a qualified electrician.
The applicable safety regulations and accident prevention regulations must be observed.
Safety instructions
•Use DALI wires that are isolated for mains voltage for all DALI wiring.
•Do not connect the DALI wiring with external voltage, especially not with 230 V mains voltage.
CAUTION!
•Incorrect connection can destroy the controller and
other devices.
•Danger of electric shock if not used according to the
specifications and instructions.
Steps for successful installation and a happy customer
1. Check and adhere to the system limits
2. Install and wire the system according to the chosen application
and the mounting and wiring instructions
3. Use the Easydim2 smartphone app to setup the right application
mode for the user

1. System limits
An Easydim2 system can have:
•One (1) controller which has:
oA movement sensor
oA light sensor
oThree (3) DALI lines and the power supply for these DALI lines
oA bicolor user interface LED
oA Bluetooth 4.2 interface via which the App can connect
•Each DALI-line can be loaded with:
oMax. 120mA
oMax. 3 movement extension sensors
oMax. 3 Push Button Interfaces
oMax. 15 luminaires
oMax. 100m cable length (min. 1,5mm²)
•An Easydim2 system can therefore have the following total number of components:
oMax. 10 movement sensors (1 in the controller, 9 extension sensors)
oMax. 9 Push Button Interfaces (= max. 36 buttons)
oMax. 45 luminaires
oMax. 300m cable length (min. 1,5mm²)
Note: more luminaires can be controlled by using DALI repeaters.
2. Predefined applications
The following applications are predefined:
1. Classroom (other possible uses are as Meeting room, Training room)
2. Auditorium (other possible uses are as Meeting room, Training room)
3. Small Office
oDirect Lighting with Desk/Meeting zones
oDirect Lighting with Window/Corridor zones
oDirect/Indirect Lighting
4. Large Office
oWith 3 work zones
oWith Window/Corridor zones + Corridor
5. Corridor/Storage
6. Cantina/Coffee corner
7. Washrooms/Toilets/Douches
These applications and how to install and wire them are described in detail in the following pages.
In case you have a different application choose the one that matches yours best and use the smartphone
App to customise for your specific needs.
For details of the individual components, check the pages following the applications.

Application: Classroom
Example Layout (not to scale) DA1 = Window Area, DA2 = Inner Area, DA3 = Whiteboard
CTRL = Easydim2 Controller, mains powered, 3 DALI output lines, DALI power is provided by Controller
PB = Push Button(s), the pushbuttons are wired to the PBI, which is mounted behind the pushbuttons
PBI = Push Button Interface, max. 3 per DALI line
MSNSR = Movement Sensor, max. 3 per DALI line
DA# = DALI lines, the DALI lines can either run in one 5 core cable with the mains or as a separate cabling. In both
cases it needs to be min. 1,5mm² and isolated for mains voltage. Max. 100m of cabling per DALI line.
Predefined Working Principle:
•Every DALI line works as a Zone as specified above (Window, Inner, Whiteboard).
•All extra movement sensors work globally to enlarge the detection field.
•Upon movement detection, the Window and Inner lights will go on automatically. If there is plenty of
daylight detected by the light sensor, then only the Inner lights will go on. In the App you can select
“Manual ON / Auto OFF” as might be required by local regulations.
•The light sensor will dim the Window lights and the Inner lights (the latter with a default offset of 30%). If
plenty of daylight is available, the Window lights will even switch off completely.
•After the last movement sensor detection there is a delay time of 10 minutes before all lights switch off
automatically.
•The pushbuttons work as zone controllers because they are connected to DA2: Button 1 (A) controls the
Window lights, Button 2 (B) controls the Inner lights, Button 3 (D) controls the Whiteboard lights and Button
4 (C) controls all lights together. A short push switches the lights on or off (toggle function) and a long push
dims the lights (dimming direction is reversed after each long push).
oNote 1: the pushbuttons act as defined in the table below: Classroom pushbutton functions, so you
can opt for other functions as desired. Remember you have to respect the limits per DALI line as
mentioned above.
oNote 2: in case no pushbuttons are installed, the only way to switch on the Whiteboard luminaires
in the predefined working principle is via the App.
•Scenes can be recalled by the Smartphone App or by using pushbuttons on DA1

Notes:
•The ALL OFF command indicates to the system the current user(s) is (are) no longer using the room. Therefor
the system will use a short, fixed movement sensor timeout of 60 seconds (to allow users to leave the room)
and then automatically revert to the default Scene (the one recalled by the white wire) but lights will only
go on after a movement trigger for “auto on” zones or in case of “manual on” zones after a pushbutton or
App action.
•After a power cycle of the controller the scene that was active before power down will be reactivated.

automatically.
•The pushbuttons act as defined in the table below: Auditorium pushbutton functions, so you can opt for

•Via the Smartphone App (eg on the Auditorium tablet) one can also recall Scenes or control the lights per
Zone.

Application: Small Office – Direct Lighting with Desk/Meeting zones
Example Layout (not to scale) DA1 = Desk Area, DA2 = Meeting Area, DA3 = Accent Lighting
CTRL = Easydim2 Controller, mains powered, 3 DALI output lines, DALI power is provided by Controller
PB = Push Button(s), the pushbuttons are wired to the PBI, which is mounted behind the pushbuttons
PBI = Push Button Interface, max. 3 per DALI line

DA# = DALI lines, the DALI lines can either run in one 5 core cable with the mains or as a separate cabling. In both
cases it needs to be min. 1,5mm² and isolated for mains voltage. Max. 100m of cabling per DALI line.
Predefined Working Principle:
•Every DALI line works as a Zone as specified above (Desk, Meeting, Accent).
•All extra movement sensors work globally to enlarge the detection field.
•Upon movement detection, all lights will go on automatically. However, if there is plenty of daylight detected
by the light sensor, then the lights will stay off.
•The light sensor will dim the Desk lights and the Meeting lights the same amount. The accent lights will only
start to dim when there are high daylight levels. If plenty of daylight is available, all the lights will even
switch off completely.
•After the last movement sensor detection there is a delay time of 15 minutes before all lights switch off
automatically.
•The pushbuttons in the example are connected to DA1 so they act as Scene buttons. For other functions,
see the table below: Small Office with Desk/Meeting zones pushbutton functions
•Scenes can also be recalled by the Smartphone App. The App offers individual channel control as well.
