Application and function
The DALI REPEATER LI allows to built up DALI systems with more than 64 ECG per DALI line. For
the supervisory control unit it acts like a single ECG. On the other hand it is able to control up to
64 DALI ECG. All ECG connected to the DALI REPEATER LI are set to the same dimming level.
Switching state, dimming level and lamp failures can be queried via the Repeater. At the same time it
allows the extension of the DALI line by 300 m each time.
If the Repeater is used in Touch DIM operation, up to 64 DALI ballasts can be controlled by means of
a common push button. The DALI REPEATER LI is designed for luminaire integration. With the
LMS CI BOX an independent mounting, e.g. for recessed ceiling installation, is suitable.
Safety information
The following information is provided for your safety:
•Please read these operating instructions carefully before installing and using the DALI
REPEATER LI. 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 DALI REPEATER LI has read these operating
instructions.
•DALI REPEATER LI may only be installed by qualified personnel who have been
appropriately trained and who have the relevant authority. The installation personnel must
be familiar with the operating instructions. Power must be switched off before any work is
undertaken on the unit.
•The DALI REPEATER LI is especially designed for installation within luminaries, an
independent installation is only allowed in combination with the mounting kit LMS CI BOX.
•The relevant safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.
•The Touch DIM operation must not be used in parallel to operation with a DALI control unit.
Only DALI or Touch DIM operation is allowed.
•The external switch for the Touch DIM operation must be designed for mains voltages.
•If the DALI output is wired with external voltage, particularly with a mains voltag, the unit
may be destroyed.

Hints:
•Further DALI devices may be connected to the DALI control unit, e.g. DALI ECG or further
repeaters. For maximum number of DALI devices please refer to the instructions of the control unit.
•Maximum wire length at the output of the DALI Repeater is 300 m (in total over both outputs).
•Both outputs of the DALI Repeater LI are electrically interconnected. To simplify the connection the
layout is done by pairs.
•Outputs of different Repeaters may not be interconnected with each other.
•In total over both outputs a maximum number of 64 DALI ECG or DALI REPEATERS may be
connected.

3. Repeater in Touch DIM operation for up to 64 x 64 EVG:
Hints:
•In Touch DIM operation the DALI input terminals must not be connected.
•The maximal overall wire length at the push button input should not exceed 100 m. Further points
of control can be achieved by parallel connection of several push buttons. Push buttons with glow
indication lamps in parallel to the push to make contact are inapplicable.
•Both outputs of the DALI Repeater LI are electrically interconnected. To simplify the connection the
layout is done by pairs.
•In total over both outputs a maximum number of 64 DALI ECG or DALI REPEATERS may be
connected.

Operation

OSRAM operating instructions DALI Repeater LI page 5
DALI operation with supervisory control unit
Before starting up the DALI control unit the DALI Repeater should be initialised as follows:
•Initialise is started by pressing the integrated “service” button of the DALI REPEATER LI for at
least 0.5 s.
•During initialise process the highest minimal dimming level of the connected DALI devices is
detected and stored. During this process the LED will flash in yellow.
The DALI REPEATER LI supports all addressing and commissioning methods offered by the DALI
standard. Independently from the connected device types at the output, the Repeater will identify
itself and detected by the control unit as ballast for fluorescent lamps.
If the address assignment is done by the “PHSICAL SELECTION” method, please press the service
button or cause a lamp fail at one of the connected ballasts when the procedure of the control unit
requires that.
Hints to the DALI operation:
•All devices connected to the outputs will always act synchronous in broadcast mode. No
addresses are assigned at the output side.
•Please follow the instructions of the control unit connected to DALI input of the Repeater.
Please see also "Indication LED" and "Service button".
Touch DIM operation
Before first manual operation the DALI Repeater should be initialised as follows:
•Initialise is started by pressing the integrated “service” button of the DALI REPEATER LI for at
least 0.5 s.
•During initialise process the highest minimal dimming level of the connected DALI devices is
detected and stored. During this process the LED will flash in yellow.
After that, please perform a long push (> 0,5 0s) to one of the connected push to make buttons. The
DALI REPEATER LI will be switched over from DALI to Touch DIM operation by this.
Touch DIM-operation in brief:
•Switch on/off : Short press to the connected push button (< 0,5 s)
•Dimming: Long press (> 0,5 s)
(Dimming direction will change with every long press)
•Store memory value: Double click: 2 short presses within 0,4 s when the lamps
are switched on.
•Delete memory value: Double click: 2 short presses within 0,4 s when the lamps
are switched off.
Hints to the Touch DIM operation:
•When the lamps are switched off a long press will cause that the lamps are switched on and
dimmed up until the button is released ort he maximum brigthness is reached.
•If the maximal or minimal brightness is reached the dimming process is stopped. A change of
dimming direction will be performed not before the button is released and pressed again.
•If the memory value is deleted, the last dimming level before switch off is recalled when the
lamps are switched on by a short press.
Please see also "Indication LED" and "Service button".

Functional test
The functional test allows checking proper operation of all DALI devices connected to the output:
With every short push (< 0.5 s) on the integrated "Service“ button of the DALI REPEATER LI the
switching state is toggled between on (max. brightness) and off. Please ensure that all connected
DALI devices react correspondingly. Approximately 5 s after the last „Service“ button press, the
DALI REPEATER LI return to normal operation automatically.
As long as the functional test is active the indication LED of the repeater flashes alternating between
green and yellow.
Service button
The integrated service button of the DALI REPEATER LI provides following functionality:
•During initialise process the highest minimal dimming level of the connected DALI devices is
detected and stored. It is started by pressing the integrated “service” button for at least 0.5 s.
•Physical selection during address assignment, by a short press (< 0.5 s) on the service button.
•Activation of the functional test, by a short press (< 0.5 s) on the service button during normal
operation.
Hint:
Physical selection is used/supported by some control units only, for details please refer to the
operation instructions of the corresponding control unit.
