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 SO 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 SO 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 “PHYSICAL 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 Touch DIM operation the DALI Repeater should be initialised as follows:
•Initialise is started by pressing the integrated “service” button of the DALI REPEATER SO 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 s) to one of the connected push to make buttons. The
DALI REPEATER SO 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 brightness 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".

Load switch
The integrated load switch can be used to interrupt the mains power supply of the connected ECG.
The switch will be opened if the connected ECG are in stand-by operation for a while. By this the
stand-by power of the installation can be reduced.
The power rating of the load switch must not be exceeded, see "Technical data".
Hints to the load switch:
•After switching of the lights the load switch is turned off time-delayed.
•The load switch is not turned off, if there are ECG connected to the DALI output which are not
switched off by the load switch.
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 SO 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 SO returns 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 SO 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.
