Intelligent Building Series C-Bus DALI Gateway Installation Instructions

8.0 Network Burden

The DALI Gateway product incorporates a software selectable Network Burden. The Network

Burden can be enabled using the C-Bus Installation Software.

A Network Burden may or may not be required to ensure correct operation of the C-Bus

Network. If in doubt, consult the C-Bus Calculator (Network Design Verification Software Utility)

before proceeding with the hardware installation.

CAUTION:

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) software is designed to prevent the Burden from accidental

selection. The following steps are required to correctly enable the Network Burden from the

GUI:

1. Set the Unit Address to ‘001’;

2. Turn to the ‘Global Tab’ of the GUI;

3. Select the Network Burden check box (cross inside box for ON);

4. Click the OK button;

5. Select ‘Save to Network’ and/or ‘Save to Database’;

6. Click the OK button; then

7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 within 20 seconds, to save your selection.

To disable the Network Burden the same process applies except the Burden selection check

box is cleared (remove cross).

Important Note:

Always disable all 5100PC Interface Network Burdens before installing C-Bus DIN range

products, which include a power supply (non “P” suffix versions). If a burden is required, use the

built-in burden on the DIN Rail unit only.

9.0 C-Bus Side Programming Requirements

The DALI Gateway product incorporates a C-Bus PC Interface Module for communications to

the C-Bus Network. Programming of the C-Bus side of the Network Interface can be done in

the same manner as programming a standard PC Interface.

The DALI Gateway must be programmed to set a unique identification (Unit Address) and mode

of operation on the C-Bus network. The C-Bus Installation Software can be used to configure

all operational parameters.

The DALI Gateway can be programmed using 5000S/2 C-Bus Installation Software v2.1.3 (or

higher). The latest C-Bus Service Pack is a software plug-in designed to upgrade your existing

C-Bus Installation Software v2.0 to the current build standard. Many new features and

enhancements are added, including programming support for latest release C-Bus products.

The latest C-Bus Service Pack is available for download from the Clipsal Integrated Systems

Web Site ‘www.Clipsal.com/cis’. If web access is not available, simply complete the software

coupon included. Forward the coupon to us and we will mail a CD-ROM containing the Service

Pack to you.

For further information about programming this and other C-Bus units, please refer to the C-Bus

Technical Manual (5000S/2, 5000M/2).
