Setting up without software
An application with two DALI SCs and one DALI GC enables the installation to be set up without software.
Step 1: Enter programming mode on the DALI GC (new installation)
DALI GC switches to programming mode and addresses the DALI ballasts.
After the addressing cycle the DALI ballast with the first address is switched to 100%, and all the others to the “Min.
Level” parameter
Step 2: Grouping the luminaires with the aid of DALI GC
Select the first luminaire => assign the right group to the selected luminaire
Select the next luminaire => assign the right group to the selected luminaire
This process is repeated until all eight luminaires have been assigned to the 2 groups.
Step 3: Exiting the DALI GC programming mode
Step 4: Saving the scene values
Fade the two DALI groups to the required brightness value of scene 1 and save the value by pressing scene button 1
for 10 seconds. Repeat this procedure for the other scenes.
When you have completed these four steps the set-up process is complete and the system is ready for use.
What are the limits of manual set-up?
With manual set-up it is possible to put small applications into operation. As the systems increase in size, so the set-up
process becomes more and more complex. It is therefore best to use masterCONFIGURATOR (see Reference list) to
put these systems into operation.
Manual set-up is not as flexible as set-up using a software tool. For example, a scene can only be set to the same
value for an entire group (e.g. Group 1: 80% and Group 2: 20%). It is not possible to set different scene values within a
group. Systems with DALI control modules such as DALI MC and DALI TOUCHPANEL can only be set up with the aid
of a software tool.
