Addressing

On the Addressing tab you can address Dali lines or activate the manual operation mode. In both cases the current group functions are constantly overridden until deactivated; the addressing mode takes precedence. During operation it is initially recommended to activate the manual operation so that the lighting is on for safety's sake.

In manual operation, all lamps on all lines are addressed via a broadcast command. You can set the lamps directly to their maximum or minimum value. Alternatively you can dim directly to a certain value using the slider.

This mode is important, especially prior to the initial commissioning, so that the electricians can check and test their DALI wiring. If the individual lamps do not react here, this means that there is a defect in the control gear, the lamp or the cabling.

As soon as the addressing mode is activated, the individual options also become visible.

After a line has been scanned, the table shows all addressed operating devices in the line. Lamp/sensor addresses can be exchanged in this table. Lamps and sensors are addressed separately from one another and can have the same address (Dali-2 standard). Dali push button couplers are displayed as the type "Button". Sensors with integrated push button coupler appear as "Sensor/Button"

Note

System without function

On activation the system has no function. The current "light picture" freezes.

Dali line	Selection of the Dali line to be addressed, scanned or changed.
Find lamps/sensors	On actuation of the Start button, the selected Dali line is scanned for already addressed operating devices.
Change address according to list	The operating devices and their addresses are displayed in the table. The left-hand column shows the current address. You can enter a new address in the right-hand column. The new addresses are written on pressing the Start button. No address may be available twice. If there are one or more double addresses, the addressing is not started and a corresponding error message is displayed. Note If the procedure fails, there is probably at least one address that exists twice!
Visual feedback	Lamps: All control gears in the line are set to the minimum level. If a control gear is selected in the table, then - provided it is marked - it will be set to the maximum level. Sensor: In the case of the sensors, the device detection is activated for at least 8 seconds and is retained until the next device is selected. As soon as the next device is selected, note that the previous device can continue to flash for up to 8 seconds! An interruption is technically impossible (Dali2 standard). Push button couplers can be identified via the button push.
Change single address	Re-addressing of individual lamps. Value "255" in New causes the address to be deleted. Helpful particularly in the case of double addressing.
Random addressing: All	On actuating the Start button, all control gears/sensors are addressed. The addresses are randomly issued. Note Observe the safety dialog: Operating devices that have already been addressed will be re-addressed again!
Random addressing: New only	On actuating the Start button, all new and unaddressed control gears/sensors are addressed. The addresses are randomly issued. This starts from the address entered.
