The DIGIDIM 1–10 V Converter has been designed to
control electronic ballasts that comply with IEC 60929 and
ballasts that comply with the DSI®standards. This ensures
that DIGIDIM systems are compatible with and easily
integrated into existing systems.
The converter can switch a maximum of 15 Helvar
electronic ballasts/drivers.
The analogue 1–10 V signal and the digital DSI®signal can
control 50 electronic ballasts.
Key Features
• Out-of-box operation provides control using DALI
standard broadcast commands.
• For 1–10 V control, the converter can switch a
maximum 15 ballasts/drivers. An external contactor
should be used for more ballasts.
• Converter complies with DSI®1 and DSI®2 standards.
• Default light output at initial power up is 100%.
• Operates on a universal supply voltage of 85 VAC
–264VAC.
• DIN-rail mounted and only 70 mm wide.
• Easy programming by using the group selection switch.
Additional Functions
• Controller status report.
• System failure level/Ignore.
• Power on to last level.
• Sink or source mode.
• Max./Min. levels, Fade times*, Scenes* and Groups*.
(*These functions are programmable using 303 IR remote)
Installation Notes
• For installation in a restricted access location only
• Isolate the mains supply before installation
• The external mains supply must be protected.
• External protection must not exceed 10 A MCB
• All DALI and mains cabling must be 230 V mains rated
• Install the unit horizontally to allow for heat dissipation
• Any enclosure must provide adequate cooling
ventilation
• Refer to the 472 Digidim Converter Installation Guide
