Digital signal DALI
The control input is non-polar. The control signal is not SELV. Control cable has
to be installed in accordance to the requirements of low voltage installations.
Different functions depending on each module.
PUSH function
Integrated Push function allows a direct dimming via push button. Push button
must be connected between the terminal block (PUSH) and Phase (L).
Maximum 10 LED control gears in series controlled by one or more push
buttons.
The maximum length of push cables is 15 m.
•Brief push (<1 s) switches the device ON and OFF. The device switch-ON at
light level set at switch-OFF
•When the push button is held (>1 s), the devices are dimmed. After repush
the devices is dimmed in the opposite direction.
The use of the push button inhibits the use of the 1...10 V signal. To
return to use of the 1...10 V signal keep the signal less than 0,5 V for at
least 2 seconds.

CURVE).
1 ... 10 V function
The light intensity of the LEDs vary proportionally to the signal sent to the termi-
nal. Intensity is null with a signal less than 1 V.
Potentiometer function
By rotating the potentiometer there is variation of the LED light intensity in a
proportionate or logarithmic way depending on the model of potentiometer used.
The use of a logarithmic potentiometer is recommended.
PUSH synchronisation
If more than one device is operated with a single key during PUSH operation,
asynchronous behaviour can occur, which will require manual resynchronisation
using the method described. It is recommended not to control more than four
devices using a single key. Should this be unacceptable, a synchronisation cable
will have to be used instead. Any 1-key dimmer that does not feature a central
control module (as each LED control gear will have its own controls) can develop
asynchronous behaviour (e.g. children might play with the key). The system
will then be out of sync, i.e. some lamps will be on, others off or the dimming
direction will differ from lamp to lamp.
If the LED control gears are switched on, press the PUSH key for more than
one second (long PUSH) followed with a short push (<1 s). Now the devices are
switched off, do a long PUSH, the system will now be resynchronised.“
The PUSH function is not compatible to switchDIM. The wiring of the
PUSH function and switchDIM is not exchangeable.

Synchronisation
A maximum of 10 devices in series can be controlled with a momentary-action
switch, potentiometer or 1...10 V interface.
Only one master device is permitted. (1 master + 9 slaves)
The maximum length of the synchronisation cable between the devices should
not exceed 4 m.
Before use, always check Dip SWITCH setting.
Maximum forward voltage
Note:
It’s not allowed to connect LED modules with a higher forward voltage
then declared, otherwise the LED control gear will be over loaded and
the expected nominal life time will be reduced.
This issue isn’t covered by the warranty.

Function of the PR terminal:
The PR connection can improve EMC behaviour, LED residual glow and immunity
(surge). The PR terminal must be connected to an earthed or non-earthed metal
surface such as a heat sink and/or luminaire housing. If connected to non-
earthed components there may be a difference in potential compared to earth.
The PR connection need not be used, it merely serves to make improvements in
certain applications.
