Sequence of actions for physical addressing
- 1. Click the Start button in order to begin the addressing procedure.
- 2. The following instruction now appears in the status line:
Wait for a device to be selected. Remove the lamp! - 3. After the lamp has been removed, the instruction that appears in the status line is as follows:
The device was addressed. Add the lamp again!
After reinserting the lamp, it flashes three times in order to indicate that the address assignment has been successful.
The newly addressed device is now shown in the list of short addresses. - 4. Repeat Point 2 and Point 3 for every DALI device that is to be re-addressed.
- 5. When you have assigned all the addresses, complete the addressing procedure by clicking the Cancel button.
![]() | Addresses If you have selected Complete new installation, all previous addresses will be deleted. Otherwise you can add further devices to the existing addressing scheme. If you have not selected Delete all group assignments, the assignment of addresses to groups is retained. Bear this in mind when reassign in the addresses! |
The newly addressed devices will be shown in the list of short addresses:

Random addressing
With this method, addresses are assigned randomly.

The operator has no influence on the order of the address assignment. The order can, however, be modified retrospectively via the Modify addresses tab.

Single assignment
With this method, all DALI devices connected to the KL6811 are assigned the same new address. In practice, only the one DALI device, which is to be assigned this address, will therefore be connected, before the Start button is pressed.

Modify addresses
In the list on the right select the device, whose address you want to change. Via the New Address selection box you can select a new address for the selected device.
Once you have selected all new addresses, click on Start to allocate the addresses to the devices.

Visual selection feedback
If the option visual selection feedback is enabled, the selected device (in the example device #04) sets its current lamp power value to the parameterized maximum value.
