Product description
c5 / 48
3.1. General information
The basicDIM DGC is a digital controller in the comfortDIM product range that can be used to control the control gear of a DALI group
collectively.
The basic DIM DGC provides the basis for an easy-to-use and cost-effective lighting system with motion detection. When the sensor
detects movement it triggers an individually adjusted table motion detection profile in the control unit. As the amount of natural
ambient light changes the illuminance from the artificial lighting system is adjusted. The connected luminaires can be switched on and
off via momentary-action switch or remote control possible.
The DALI IN interface allows integration of the basicDIM DGC module also into a comfortDIM system.
The basicDIM DGC module has 5 preprogrammed profiles which can be selected using the basicDIM DGC Programmer. The profiles
can be adjusted to your application via the master CONFIGURATOR ( V2.12) software (see "Reference list" at the end of this
document).
If the basicDIM DGC module is used in the basic application, the CH2 can be used as control channel for controlling subordinate
basicDIM DGC modules (basic connection), so that the controlling and the subordinate basicDIM DGC modules can be programmed
and allocated to groups using the masterCONFIGURATOR software. Every single basicDIM DGC module can be allocated to only one
group and respond to the presence of up to five groups. For more detailed information please refer to the masterCONFIGURATOR
documentation (see "Reference list" at the end of this document).
3.2. Main applications
The DALI basicDIM DGC is designed for the following principal applications:
Individual offices_
Open-plan offices_
Training/presentation rooms_
Corridors, passage ways and garages
The basicDIM DGC either controls all the units on the DALI circuit or a DALI group. The basicDIM DGC is Multi-master
compatible, i.e. it can be used in conjunction with other DALI controllers in the comfortDIM product range. This allows
the basicDIM DGC to be addressed and grouped in the same way as DALI control gear and makes it easy to configure the
system. The basicDIM DGC is configured in the masterCONFIGURATOR software (V2.02. or later) (see "Reference list" at the
end of this document).

Installation
basicDIM DGC can be operated without sensor. For this, the motion sensor must be deactivated with the
masterCONFIGURATOR software.
_
DSI/DALI is not SELV. The installation instructions for mains voltage therefore apply._
The maximum cable length between the external switch and basicDIM DGC is 100 m._
The maximum cable length between the sensor and basicDIM DGC is 10 m._
A synchronous operation of DALI and DSI ballasts at the same control gear is not possible._
The output channels (for a cable cross-section of 1,5 m ) must not be exceeded 100 m.
2
_
If CH2 is used as link line, the maximum cable length must not exceed 100 m (at 1.5 mm ).
2
_
Any number of push to make switches may be connected in parallel to the inputs._
Do not connect standard switches to the input._
Please ensure that the detection range of the sensor lies in the lighting area of the controlled luminaires._
Heaters, fans, printers and copiers located in the detection zone may cause incorrect presence detection._
To avoid false readings, the sensor should be installed so there is no direct light from the lamp in the detection zone._
Sensor wires must be routed separately from the lamp wires and mains cables otherwise the lighting control system may
malfunction. If separate routing is not possible (for reasons of space) shielded lamp wires and mains cables must be used.

5.1.3. Mixed installation with DGC and MSensor
½CAUTION!
Note the following, if you are using a mixed installation with DGCs and MSensors:
If the DGC is moved to group 1 (for example), it will still send its own presence as Broadcast by default.
If there is an MSensor in the same installation (for example in group 2), then group 2 will be triggered by the Broadcast signal sent
from the DGC.
To avoid this behaviour, make sure that the DGC is programmed to send its presence to the group that it is assigned to (in this
example group 1).

5.1.6. Relais
The relay can be used in four different operating modes:
Symbol
Operating
mode Description
Standby Energy saving mode
If the basicDIM DGC module is switched off, the relay will switch off (after 10 minutes).
If the basicDIM DGC is switched on, the relay will switch on.
Switching: relay in standby mode
Only OFF The relay must be switched on using the momentary-action switch, but is switched off by the presence
detector.
ON/OFF The relay is switched on or off via the presence detector.
Relay output The relay must be switched on and off using the momentary-action switch.
Depending on the profile used, the relay will respond differently. For the 5 main profiles (Individual room, Classroom, Corridor, WC,
Free-standing luminaire) the relay operating modes Standby and OnlyOFF are used. The masterCONFIGURATOR software allows to
enable or disable the relay profiles as well (see "Reference list" at the end of this document).
5.1.7. Presence detector
Depending on the profile used, different operating modes are preprogrammed for the presence detector. These can be changed using
the basicDIM DGC Programmer or the masterCONFIGURATOR software (see "Reference list" at the end of this document).
Symbol Name Description
ON/OFF The light is switched on and off automatically based on the presence/absence of people.
Only OFF The presence detector just switches the connected luminaires off. The luminaires are switched on manually
via the connected external momentary-action switch or the remote control.
neverOFF If no presence is detected, the sensor dims down to the “second light level” parameter and maintains this
setting.
OFF Presence detector disabled. The light must be switched on and off manually.

5.1.8. Run-on time
A time starting from the last detected movement in the room; when the run-on time expires, the fade time begins.
If further movement is detected during the run-on time, it starts over again.
You can choose whether you want the basicDIM DGC module to switch off the light completely or to dim it down to the second light
level after the run-on time.
The run-on time may vary depending on the profile used. It can be changed using the basicDIM DGC Programmer or the
masterCONFIGURATOR software (see "Reference list" at the end of this document).
Response to commands via DALI IN:
For a DAP command > 0, Recall Max, Recall Min the Run-on time is started.
Response to neighbourhood function:
If as response to the neighbourhood function the presence value was set the run-on time is started
Response to scene commands:
Responses to scene commands are described at .Scenes, p. 22
5.1.9. Switch-off delay
Time for which the absence value is maintained if no movement is detected.
The switch-off delay and the absence level differ depending on the profile used; these parameters may be changed using the
basicDIM DGC Programmer or the masterCONFIGURATOR software (see "Reference list" at the end of this document).
Response to neighbourhood function:
If as response to the neighbourhood function the absence value was set the switch-off delay time is started

5.1.11. Offset
Depending on the profile used, a negative offset may be enabled between CH2 and CH1. Using the basicDIM DGC Programmer and
the masterCONFIGURATOR software, this parameter may be changed, a positive offset is also possible (see "Reference list" at the end
of this document).
5.1.12. Manual-off delay
If the light is switched off manually via momentary-action switch or remote control, the presence detector is disabled. After a period of
delay without any presence detected, the presence detector is enabled again. If the sensor detects presence during the “Manual Off”
delay, the delay time will start all over again.
The manual-off delay can only be changed using the masterCONFIGURATOR software (see "Reference list" at the end of this
document).
5.1.13. Lighting control
Lighting control is started via the Auto key of the basicDIM Programmer or REMOTECONTROL IR6.
Lighting control can also be disabled using the masterCONFIGURATOR software (see "Reference list" at the end of this document).

changed using the basicDIM DGC Programmer or the masterCONFIGURATOR software (see "Reference list" at the end of this
document).
