QUICKTRONIC

Intelligent DALI DIM | Introduction

Advanced technical developments have made this possi-

ble. Modern dimmable ECGs with digital (DALI = Digital

Addressable Lighting Interface) or analog (1…10 V) inter-

face in combination with the corresponding control ele-

ments and sensors lay the foundations for easy and

cost-effective realization.

1.1.3 Reliability/Safety

— Reliability and safety play a crucial role when using

electronic control gears. The properties of a high-quality

dimmable ECG include:

— Preheating of the lamp ﬁ laments

— Reliable lamp ignition to -20 °C ambient temperature

— Reliable lamp operation in a temperature range of

-20 °C to 75 °C

— Reliable shutdown of the ECG in the event of failure,

in particular at “end of life” (EOL, safety shutdown of

the lamp at the end of its lifetime)

— Complies with all currently valid ECG standards:

— Safety (EN 61347) incl. EL symbols (Appendix J)

— Operation (EN 60929)

— Mains current line harmonics (EN 61000-3-2)

— Radio interference from 9 kHz to 300 MHz

(EN 55015:2006 + A1:2007)/CDN measurement

in the frequency range above 30 MHz

— Immunity (EN 61547)

1.1.4 The right control unit for every application

The dimmable ECGs are designed for multifaceted use.

Typical applications are, for example, ofﬁ ces and industrial

halls with daylight-dependent controllers, conference and

meeting rooms with situation-based lighting or CAD rooms

and switch rooms with individual adjustment of the level of

light. The core of the lighting installation are the dimmable

Intelligent ECGs from OSRAM with DALI

or 1…10 V interface (QTi DALI/DIM) for operating compact

and ﬂ uorescent lamps. These are controlled via a control

unit, a sensor or simple push-button/rotary dimmer. The

selection of the correct dimmer components to control the

lighting depends on the desired application. The require-

ment proﬁ le for the dimmable lighting installation therefore

needs to be deﬁ ned in detail.
