Intelligent Building Series C-Bus DALI Gateway Installation Instructions

Note: Clipsal Integrated Systems Pty Ltd does not manufacture DALI

units, power supplies, commissioning software or any other product

or service associated with DALI aside from the DALI Gateway itself,

as described in this Installation Instruction. Check individual DA

component requirements.

6.0 C-Bus System Clock

The DALI Gateway unit incorporates a software selectable C-Bus System Clock. The System

Clock is used to synchronise data communications waveforms on a C-Bus Network. At least

one active C-Bus System Clock is required on each C-Bus Network for successful

communications. No more than three units on any C-Bus Network should have Clock circuitry

enabled, so this option should normally be disabled using the C-Bus Installation Software.

If a System Clock is required, it can be enabled from the ‘Global Tab’ on the Graphical User

Interface (GUI) for the unit.

7.0 Connection to the C-Bus Network

Installation requires connection to the

unshielded twisted pair C-Bus Network Cable.

The illustration following, shows the

recommended technique for cable termination

giving the best electrical performance. It is

required that Category 5 data cable is used,

Clipsal catalogue number 5005C305B.

The DALI Gateway does have Remote Override (ON/OFF) functions. If both Remote ON wires

are shorted together then it causes 5502DAL C-Bus DALI Gateway to issue a global message

"Direct Arc Power 100%" to both DALI networks. If both Remote OFF wires are shorted together

then it causes 5502DAL C-Bus DALI Gateway to issue a global message "Indirect Arc Power

OFF" to both DALI networks. Remote ON has higher priority that Remote OFF, e.g. when both

signals are activated the last command to both DALI networks will be "Direct Arc Power 100%".
