Safety information
The following information is provided for your safety:
• Please read these operating instructions carefully before installing and using the DALI
EASY RMC remote control. This is the only way to ensure that you use the equipment
safely and correctly. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place for future
reference. You should make sure that everyone who uses the DALI EASY RMC has read
these operating instructions.
• The relevant safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.

General
Definition of terms
Sequence
A sequence is taken to be the automatic retrieval of stored lighting scenes and their cyclic
playback.
Group, luminaire group
A group is a collection of luminaires connected to the same DALI output channel. This means that
all the luminaires in a group always have the same brightness.
IR receiver
The infra-red receiver receives the signals from the remote control and forwards them to the DALI
EASY controller.
Short press
A short press means pressing a pushbutton for less than one second. A short press is used for
example for switching luminaires on and off.
Long press
A long press means pressing a pushbutton for more than one second. A long press is used for
example for dimming the luminaires.
Light switch
Light switches are used to switch luminaires on and off in a room and to fade them up and down.
They are connected to the “external switch” input on the DALI EASY controller.
Scene, lighting scene
A lighting scene defines the lighting situation in a room. This presupposes that there are a number
of luminaires or luminaire groups in a room and that their brightness can be adjusted
independently of one another.
Example 1: Office lighting
Offices often have rows of luminaires running in parallel to the window.
Lighting scene A:
(in daylight) The luminaires near the window are set to minimal brightness. The luminaires furthest away from the window are set to maximum brightness.
Lighting scene B:
(after dusk) All the luminaires are set to the same brightness.
Example 2: Coloured effect lighting
The luminaires or luminaire groups have different colours (red, green, blue, white). They are set to
different brightness levels according to the shade of colour required for the room lighting. This
mixing colour is a lighting scene.
Fade time
The fade time is the time in which the lighting system changes from one lighting scene to the next
in sequencer mode.
Cycle time
The cycle time is the time in which the daylight simulation system runs through a complete
daylight cycle.

Operating Instructions: remote control DALI EASY RMC
General
Function
The remote control sends digital coded Infra-red signals to the IR-receiver type DALI EASY IR. The
receiver converts the Infra-red into corresponding telegrams and transmits them to the connected DALI
EASY control units.

Application
The infra-red receiver can be mounted in a luminaire, a ceiling panel or, with an appropriate cover, in a
cavity socket. Make sure that the remote control can point at the infra-red sensor at an angle as steep as
possible. Bear in mind that the maximum range of the remote control is around 10-15 metres.
<10-15m
Note:
Make sure that there is a line of sight between the IR receiver and the remote control. Up to
four IR receivers may be connected. To ensure that the remote control function operates
properly, the IR receiver must not be exposed to direct light. Wherever possible, mount the
IR receiver in a shaded spot.

Operation
Description of the button functions
Ch1 … Ch4:
Buttons “Ch1” to “Ch4” switch the luminaires in a group on and off and fade them up and down.
Short press: The luminaires in the selected group are switched on or off.
Long press: The luminaires in the selected group are faded up or down. The fade direction changes
each time the button is held down. If the group is switched off, a long press switches it on
and fades it from minimum to maximum brightness.
Start; time +:
This button starts the sequence or lengthens the fade time.
Short press: “ ”appears on the display. The stored lighting scenes are called up cyclically starting
with Scene 1. If a scenes was called up before the sequence started, the sequence will
start with the fade to the next scene.
Long press: The fade time is shown on the display for three seconds. The fade time can be changed
while the display is active. This time is lengthened or shortened with the “Start; time +”
and “Stop; time –“ buttons. The new fade time is activated when the sequence is next
started.
Stop; time -:
This button stops the sequence or shortens the fade time.
Short press: “ ” appears on the display The sequence is stopped. The sequence can be resumed
with the “Start; time +” button.
Long press: The fade time is shown on the display for three seconds. The fade time can be changed
while the display is active. This time is lengthened or shortened with the “Start; time +”
and “Stop; time –“ buttons. The new fade time is activated when the sequence is next
started.
Scene 1 … Scene 4:
These buttons are used to store the individual scenes and call them up.
Short press: The selected scene ( ) appears on the display. The scene is called up.
Long press: The selected scene ( ) appears on the display after three seconds. The scene is
stored. The luminaires will flash once to confirm that the scene has been stored.
On/Off; Dimming:
This button is used to switch all the luminaires on and off and to change their brightness.
Short press: All the luminaires are switched on or off.
Long press: All the luminaires are faded up or down. The fade direction changes each time the button
is held down. If the luminaires are switched off, a long press switches them on and fades
them from minimum to maximum brightness.

Operation
Remote control settings
The following settings can be made using the DIP switches in the battery compartment of the remote
control:
DIP switch Function
1 OFF IR code 1 is active
1 ON IR code 2 is active
2 OFF Storing of scenes is disabled
2 ON Storing of scenes is enabled
3 OFF Sequencer mode is disabled
3 ON Sequencer mode is enabled
4 OFF Daylight simulation is disabled
4 ON Daylight simulation is enabled
3 / 4 ON / ON Learn mode for transferring the IR code to DALI EASY and resetting
DALI EASY to the factory defaults (RESET)
Disabling scene storage
Storing of scenes can be disabled by means of DIP switch 2. The ensures that scenes cannot be
changed by mistake. The DIP switch positions are shown in the table.
Changing between sequencer mode and daylight simulation
Sequencer mode and daylight simulation mode are activated using DIP switches 3 and 4. Both operating
modes may also be deactivated. DALI EASY then operates in lighting control mode. The necessary DIP
switch positions are shown in the table.
RESET or setting the IR code
The two IR codes enable two separate DALI EASY lighting control systems to be operated in the same
room, each with its own remote control with no interference between them.
This is how you process a RESET resp. change the infra-red codes:
1.
Set the infra-red code you want on DIP switch 1:
• DIP switch 1 to OFF: IR code 1
• DIP switch 1 to ON:IR code 2
2.
Note the settings of DIP switches 3 and 4.
3.
Set DIP switches 3 and 4 to ON.
4.
Press any button on the remote control (the remote control must be pointing at the IR sensor).
“ ” then appears on the remote control display. The luminaires provide confirmation of the setting:
• For IR code 1: the luminaires flash once
• For IR code 2: the luminaires flash twice
5.
Set DIP switches 3 and 4 to their original positions.
The functions of the DIP switches are given in the table above.
Notes on RESET and changing the IR code:
In the event of a RESET or change of IR code, all the connected control units are reset or
changed. You should therefore disable the connection to the IR receiver for the control
units that are not to be reset or changed, or disconnect the power supply for these units.
If there is more than one system in the reception area their IR receivers must first be
disconnected or adequately covered to avoid an unwanted RESET.
