QUICKTRONIC

Intelligent DALI DIM | Additional properties of dimmable control gears from OSRAM

After these steps are executed – long–short–long–

(double-click) – the ECGs act synchronously once again.

Note

Touch DIM was developed for manual control and is not

suitable for automation, e.g. for connecting an SPS.

4.2.8 Avoiding asynchronisms: DALI repeater

With the help of the DALI repeater, which is described in

detail within the context of the LMS portfolio, up to 64

ECGs can easily be operated in the Touch DIM function

without any problem with asynchronisms.

4.2.9 Behavior after power voltage disruption

If the luminaire is disconnected from the mains, the ECG

saves all set values. If the light value was modiﬁ ed prior to

shutdown, this value is set again. In other words, the exact

prior state is reproduced after a disruption of the voltage

(immediate switching on with the previous luminous ﬂ ux, no

“middle road” via 100 % luminous ﬂ ux and subsequent dim-

ming). All settings (dimming values, lamps on/off …) remain

intact even if the power failure lasts a while (> 200 ms…5 s,

depending on the ECG and the operating status). The refer-

ence value saved with double-click also remains saved in

the ECG after the power voltage disruption and can, if de-

sired, be recalled again with luminaire on/off. If the lumi-

naire was shut down as the result of a power voltage dis-

ruption, it remains off if the mains voltage returns. For this

reason, operation in Touch DIM mode is not suitable for

centrally supplied emergency lighting applications.

4.3 OSRAM DALI ECGs in emergency lighting

applications (EL – Emergency Lighting)

OSRAM DALI ECGs bear the EL quality mark. This means

that OSRAM DALI ECGs meet the following standards for

operation with central batteries:

1. Equipment safety according to IEC or EN 61347-2-3,

appendix J

2. Equipment safety according to IEC or EN 61347-2-13,

appendix J (2nd issue in preparation)

3. Luminaire safety according to IEC or EN 60598-2-22

(4th issue in preparation)

Due to the multitude of emergency lighting control systems

and applications, this topic cannot be described compre-

hensively in this technical application guide.

Integrating and testing the total emergency lighting system

according to DIN V VDE V 0108-100 and DIN EN 50172

must always be executed by the party responsible for the

total system, because the DALI ECG is only one compo-

nent of the total system. DIN V VDE V 0108-100 und DIN

EN 50172 are system standards and not ECG standards.

Special electronic control gears are available on the market

for local emergency lighting applications with integrated

battery in the luminaire. The instructions described here for

wiring and programming the DALI control gears refer exclu-

sively to central battery applications and, therefore, to stan-

dard DALI control gears (ECGs).

QUICKTRONIC

Intelligent DALI ECGs are suitable for

emergency lighting systems according to DIN V VDE V

0108-100 and DIN EN 50172. All OSRAM DALI control

gears detect emergency operation (“system failure level”)

by the missing voltage at the DALI input (16 V DC during

normal operation). This function is a part of the DALI

standard and is supported by all manu facturers.

New, expanded properties:

OSRAM DALI (GII) ECGs can detect a failure in the emer-

gency lighting applications (EL) without an additional DALI

command (operating range: 154–276 V (0 Hz/pulsating DC)).

The “system failure level” is automatically set. The EL func-

tion can be switched on or off via DALI magic/Wizard (see

the DALI Wizard manual: http://www.osram.com/osram_

com/tools-and-services/tools/dali-magic/index.jsp).

— EL quality marks (according to IEC 61347-2-3) with

EBLF, EMC…

— Operating range: 154–276 V (0 Hz/pulsating DC)

— Flexible switching on/off with DALI magic

— “DC level” has higher priority than the “system failure

level”

— Locking emergency lighting settings possible via DALI

— Automatic reinstatement of the AC conditions, in other

words, the conditions present before the failure of the

AC (mains) voltage

Typical data for the QUICKTRONIC

Intelligent DALI family

that are signiﬁ cant for emergency lighting systems*:

OSRAM ECG data for emergency lighting operation

Max. start time of the lamp 0.6 s

Permissible voltage range (DC) 154…276 V

Min. voltage for lamp start (DC) 198 V

Permissible voltage range (AC) 198…264 V

Mains frequency 0, 50…60 Hz

* The DALI or dimming function of the QTi DALI T5/T8 DIM ECGs is

identical for AC and DC operation.
