Light

Light Control:

(1)  Daylight Control start value: If a group is in "Daylight Control" mode, it is switched on with the value set here. The group then adjusts to the setpoint.

(2)  If this function is activated, a group can determine a variable start value. The function must be activated separately for each group. (see Group configuration).

(3)  The lowest value to which the lights can be dimmed down.

(4)  Deviation actual value/setpoint at which the Daylight Control becomes active. If the deviation is smaller than the value set here, the group is "balanced".

(5)  If the actual value/setpoint deviation is greater than the value set here, the light dims up or down more quickly in order to reach the setpoint more quickly.

(6)  Waiting time after changing the dimming value. (Here only if the deviation actual value/setpoint is less than the difference at (5)). The lower this value is, the faster the Daylight Control responds.

The brightness query of the sensors is independent of this setting. If the value is set too low, the setpoint may be exceeded, causing unwanted dimming up/down!

(7)  Waiting time after changing the dimming value. (Here only if the deviation actual value/setpoint is greater than the difference at (5)). The lower this value is, the faster the Daylight Control responds.

The brightness query of the sensors is independent of this setting. If the value is set too low, the setpoint may be exceeded, causing unwanted dimming up/down!

(8)  This value fixes the threshold at which the Daylight Control can shutdown the light if it is bright enough. If the illumination has already been dimmed down to the min level, this value comes into effect. See also (9).

(9)  If the condition in (8) is met, the set time is waited for before the light switches off.

Global values:

The values listed under Dali parameter are written to or read from the control gears. The Software parameters relate to general control behavior.

(1)  The physical minimum value can only be read and the smallest value found is displayed (DALI value: 0-254). Reading this value may take some time.

(2)  Power-on-level specifies the value to which the lamps switch on after the mains voltage is switched on.

(3)  System-failure-level specifies which value the lamps assume in the event of an error.

(4)  Max-level indicates the highest value that the lamps assume.

(5)  The step time specifies the time in which the lamps approach a new dimming value. With a higher value, the light dims up or down more slowly after switching on/off.

(6)  Input/output field

(7)  Each value change must be confirmed by clicking on the respective button. This causes all ECGs to be written with the corresponding parameter via a broadcast command.

(8)  This value specifies how quickly the light dims up/down when manually operated by a push button (push button long press).

(9)  Specifies the time from which a push button evaluates a "long press".
Short press: On/Off
Long press: Dimming function

Only available in the group control modes fully automatic, semi-automatic, manual push button and manual push button with overrun.

Global light control:

Global light control can be used to implement Daylight Control to an outdoor light sensor, among other things. 5 control curves can be configured and up to 3 DALI sensors can be evaluated. An average value is then calculated from these 3 sensors.

(1)  Selection of the control curve. This is equivalent to the group light modes Global light control 1-5.

(2)  Scale for dimming level of the lamps.

(3)  Scale for brightness. Dynamically generated values from 0 to the highest possible value (max. values of the sensors).

(4)  The control values of the lamps for the corresponding brightness values can be entered here. Higher control values must not be assigned to higher brightness values.

(5)  Displays the actual dimming value. The Daylight Control is internally linked to other parameters so that a new value is approached correspondingly slowly.

(6)  Up to 3 sensors can be configured here. As soon as line "0" is specified, the sensor is deactivated.

Emergency light:

(1)  Duration Test

(2)  Function Test

(3)  The automatic tests can be enabled here.

As a rule, a function test must be carried out once a week and the duration test once a year.

As a duration test takes several hours, this test must be supervised by a specialist. An automatic test is not recommended in this case.

(4)  Selection of a day from an annual calendar.

(5)  Selection of a day of the week.

(6)  Specification of a time at which the test should start.

(7)  Display of a timestamp of the last test performed. A green check mark indicates a successful test, while a red "X" indicates an unsuccessful test.

(8)  The last 100 test results can be called up here.

(9)  Button to manually start the respective test.
