Operating instructions
1 Safety instructions
Electrical devices may only be mounted and connected by electrically skilled persons.
Serious injuries, fire or property damage possible. Please read and follow manual fully.
Danger of electric shock. Always disconnect before carrying out work on the device or load. In
so doing, take all the circuit breakers into account, which support dangerous voltages to the
device and or load.
Danger of electric shock. Device is not suitable for disconnection from supply voltage.
The DALI control voltage is a functional extra-low voltage (FELV). On installing, ensure safe
isolation between KNX and DALI.
These instructions are an integral part of the product, and must remain with the end customer.

3 Operation
See illustration of the button field (Figure 1).
Figure1
(1) Button c – Manual operation
(2) LED c – On: Continuous manual mode active
(3) Button ON/n switch on or increase brightness
(4) LED ON/n On: DALI device or group switched on, brightness 1...100 %
(5) Button OFF/o switch off or reduce brightness
(6) LED OFF/o On: DALI device or group switched off, brightness 0 %
(7) Button ALL OFF – Switch off all DALI devices
(8) Display of DALI number (1…64)
(8a) Display of the DALI group
(8b) Display of the individual DALI device
If the display shows (8) bc (Broadcast operation), the device is not programmed or set to
master control in the KNX configuration. All DALI devices are then controlled jointly.
In operation with the button field the device distinguishes between a short and a long press.

4 Information for electrically skilled persons
4.1 Fitting and electrical connection
DANGER!
Mortal danger of electric shock.
Disconnect the device. Cover up live parts.
Fitting the device
￭ Mount device on DIN rail.

Connecting the device
Control cable: appropriate type, cross-section and routing for the specifications for 250 V
cables. DALI and mains voltage wires can be run together in a cable, e.g. NYM 5x1.5 mm².
￭ The DALI control voltage is a functional extra-low voltage (FELV). When performing in-
stallation, perform the installation in such a way that when an area is disconnected the
lines carrying both the DALI and also the mains voltage are disconnected.
￭ If multiple circuit breakers supply dangerous voltages to the device or load, couple the
miniature circuit breakers or label them with a warning, to ensure disconnection is guaran-
teed.
￭ DALI participants from some manufacturers have expanded functions and can e.g. be
controlled via mains voltage on the DALI connection. When existing DALI installations are
refitted, remove all corresponding operator controls.
￭ Connect device as shown in the connection example (Figure 2).
Figure2
￭ Attach the cover cap to the bus cable connection as protection against hazardous
voltages.
If the display (8) shows Er (error), an installation fault occurred that causes mains voltage
to reach the DALI cable. In this case disconnect the device and and the DALI devices
from mains voltage and disconnect bus voltage. Correct installation.
Operation in emergency lighting systems
The device can be used in decentrally-powered or in centrally-powered emergency lighting sys-
tems.
In decentrally-powered emergency light systems, emergency luminaires with individual batteries
and special DALI devices are used.
Observe the number of DALI devices in the emergency luminaires used.
The statutory and standard specifications vary from country to country. In any event, the
user / technical planner must check whether the specific specifications are observed.
Emergency lighting systems with a central safety supply are required in buildings larger than
2000 m². Depending on the scope of functions of the system, only the emergency luminaires
are supplied by the central safety supply (figure 4), or the KNX system and DALI gateway are
also supplied (figure 5). In the latter case, in emergency operation, the DALI gateway can trans-
mit the appropriate fault messages to a central system and other DALI gateways in the system.

5.2 Troubleshooting
Indication shows "Er", connected DALI devices have no function, no operation possible
Cause: Mains voltage on DALI cable.
Installation error. Disconnect device and connected DALI devices from mains voltage and
disconnect bus voltage. Correct installation.
Indication shows "bc" in manual mode, control of individual luminaires not possible.
Cause: The device has not been programmed or is programmed to "Broadcast".
Check the device status. If necessary, program the device and put DALI system into oper-
ation.
Individual DALI devices have no function
Cause 1: Load is defective, e.g. lamp.
Exchange load.
Cause 2: DALI device is defective.
Exchange defective device.
Switch on voltage.
Press c and ALL OFF buttons together for at least 10 seconds.
The device detects the exchanges DALI device and loads in the necessary data. The dis-
play (4) shows LE.
