Mechanical Structures and Wiring Diagram:
The following diagram illustrates the mechanical structure and the wiring connections for the DA-P DALI Push Dimmer. Pay close attention to the input voltage (100-240VAC) and the DALI bus connections (DA-, DA+).
Wiring Instructions:
- Connect the AC input (N, L) to the 100-240VAC power supply.
- Connect the DALI bus output (DA-, DA+) to the DALI drivers or ballasts.
- Connect the push-button to the designated terminals for manual control.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 DALI Address Setting
The DALI address is set using the two rotary switches on the device (X10 for tens position, X1 for units position).
- Address Value Calculation: Address value = (Left rotary switch value × 10) + (Right rotary switch value).
- Example: If the left rotary switch is set to '5' and the right to '4', the address value is (5 × 10) + 4 = 54.
- Unicast Mode: Address values 0-63 correspond to DALI addresses 00-63.
- Group Mode: Address values 70-85 correspond to DALI groupings 0-15.
- Broadcast Mode: Set the left rotary switch value to '9' for broadcast.
4.2 PUSH Dimming Speed Setting
Adjust the dimming speed using the dedicated rotary knob:
- Turning the arrow closer to "+" will result in a faster dimming speed.
- Turning the arrow closer to "-" will result in a slower dimming speed.
4.3 Memory Function Setting
The memory function determines how the light behaves after power cycling. Short press the "SET" button to toggle between memory modes.
- Without Memory (LED indicator is Red): When power is applied again after PUSH dimming, the light will return to maximum brightness.
- With Memory (LED indicator is Green): When power is applied again after PUSH dimming, the light will restore its last brightness level.
- Factory Default: Without memory.
4.4 Push-Button Function
The connected push-button provides basic control over the lighting:
- Short press: Toggles the light on or off.
- Long press: Initiates dimming up or down.
