Tips for initial construction
In general, several steps are necessary to quickly put a system into operation. The most important ones are listed in order below.
- 1. On the Construction page, activate automatic addressing for all lines (if it makes sense) and let it run for about 5-10 minutes.
During the waiting period, you can name the DALI lines and bus couplers to make them easier to find later. - 2. Deactivate automatic addressing and start the search run for all lines. After 1-2 minutes, each address was checked once and the table should have found the correct number of devices per line. The search function should be deactivated if it is no longer required.
- 3. If all devices have been found in step 2, you can continue with step 4. If not all devices have been found, the illumination can be dimmed in manual mode and the feedback from the sensors can be activated to identify the missing devices and repair them if necessary. Then, depending on your wishes or the number of problems, you can continue with step 4 or repeat the steps startying with step 1.
- 4. Switch to addressing mode and switch on the illumination globally under Manual Mode. This means that all other lines are switched on during addressing. Then start sorting the devices (see chapter Addressing).
- 5. Create templates for groups and lamps in the settings.
- 6. Start the group assistant and set up the individual groups.
- 7. Configure other switching conditions (buttons, schedules, circuits).
- 8. Deactivate Manual Mode and check circuits.
- 9. Check the system time and adjust if necessary. Set the regular operating time.
- 10. Activate the desired special functions in the settings and adjust parameters (Daylight Control parameters, HCL, scenes...).
- 11. Deactivate construction page.
- 12. Save data (generate CSV data and export if required).
