FLICKER PERFORMANCE

DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-10

  • LINE-4CC, thanks to the dimming frequency of 3.4kHz, allows to reduce the phenomenon of flickering (Flicker). Depending on eye sensitivity and the type of activity, flickering can affect a person’s well-being even if the fluctuations in luminance are beyond the threshold perceptible to the human eye.
  • The graph shows the phenomenon of flickering as a function of frequency, measured over the entire dimming range.
  • The reported results highlight the low-risk zone (yellow) and the no-observable zone (green), defined by the IEEE 1789-2015 standard8.

THERMAL CHARACTERIZATION

DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-11

  • Figure 10 shows the maximum output current values that can be provided by the LINE-4CC as a function of the operating temperature9 (or ambient temperature, TA) of the work, summarized below:
    • TA: (-10 ÷ +60) °C ⇢ IOUT-CH ≤ 0.7 A
    • TA: (-10 ÷ +45) °C ⇢ IOUT-CH > 0.7 A
  • These maximum current values can only be applied under suitable ventilation conditions.

DIMMING CURVES

DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-12

  • The LINE-4CC only supports the Linear dimming curve shown in Figure 11. No other dimming curves are available.

  • The product must be installed inside an electrical panel and/or junction box that is protected against overvoltage.
  • The external power supply must be protected. The product must be protected by a properly sized circuit breaker with overcurrent protection.
  • Keep 230Vac (LV) circuits and non-SELV circuits separate from SELV safety ultra-low voltage circuits and any product connections. It is absolutely forbidden to connect, for any reason, directly or indirectly, the 230Vac mains voltage to the product (BUS terminals included).
  • The product must be installed in a vertical or horizontal position, i.e. with the faceplate/label/top cover facing up or vert ically. No other positions are allowed. The bottom position, i.e. with the faceplate/label/top cover facing downwards, is not allowed.
  • During installation, it is recommended to reserve adequate space around the device to facilitate its accessibility in case of future maintenance or updates (e.g. via smartphone, NFC).
  • Use in thermally harsh environments may limit the output power of the product.
  • For devices embedded within luminaires, the TA ambient temperature range is a guideline to be carefully observed for the optimal operating environment. However, the integration of the device within the luminaire must always ensure proper thermal management (e.g. correct mounting of the device, proper ventilation, etc.) so that the temperature at the TC point does not exceed its maximum limit under any circumstances. Proper operation and durability are only guaranteed if the maximum temperature of the TC point is not exceeded under the conditions of use.

POWER AND LOAD

  • The device must be powered only with SELV type power supplies with limited current at constant voltage, short-circuit protection and suitably sized power according to the specifications indicated in the product data sheet. No other types of power supply are permitted.
  • Size the power of the power supply with reference to the load connected to the device. If the power supply is oversized compared to the maximum current drawn, insert an overcurrent protection between the power supply and the device.
  • Connecting to an unsuitable power supply may cause the device to operate outside of the specified design limits, voiding its warranty.
  • In the case of power supplies equipped with earth terminals, it is mandatory to connect ALL the protection earth points (PE= Protection Earth) to a state-of-the-art and certified earthing system.
  • The power cables of the device must be correctly sized with reference to the connected load and must be isolated from any wiring or equal to non-SELV voltage. It is recommended not to exceed 10m of connection between the power source and the product. Use doubleinsulated cables. If you want to use connection cables between the power source and the product longer than 10m, the installer must ensure the correct operation of the system. In any case, the connection between the power supply and the product must not exceed 30m.
  • The device has been designed to work with LED loads only. Connecting and powering unsuitable loads may cause the device to operate outside of the specified design limits, voiding its warranty. In general, the operating conditions of the device should never exceed the specifications indicated in the product data sheet.
  • Observe the intended polarity between the LED module and the device. Any polarity reversal results in no light emission and can often damage the LED modules.
  • It is recommended that the connection cables between the product and the LED module be less than 3m long. Cables must be properly sized and should be insulated from any non-SELV wiring or parts. It is recommended to use double-insulated cables. If you want to use connection cables between the product and the LED module longer than 3m, the installer must ensure the correct operation of the system.
  • In any case, the connection between the product and the LED module must not exceed 30m.
  • It is not allowed to connect different types of loads in the same output channel.

LOCAL COMMAND

  • The length of the connection cables between the local controls (N.O. buttons or other) and the product must be less than 10m. For longer lengths, we recommend the use of an N.O. Dry Contact Relay module, connected between the “Input” terminal of the device (dry contact side of the relay) and the power source (coil side of the relay) as shown in the connection example in Figure 7. The cables must be sized correctly. Depending on the connection used, they must be isolated from any wiring or non-SELV voltage parts. It is recommended to use double-insulated cables, if deemed appropriate, also shielded.
  • All devices and control signals connected to local commands with the symbol DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-32, must not supply any type of voltage.

NFC (NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION) WARNINGS

  • The NFC antenna is located inside the device, the contact surface of which is indicated with the symbol DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-36 Position your smartphone so that its NFC antenna is in contact with the symbol on the device.
  • The location of the NFC sensor on the smartphone is dependent on the make and model of the smartphone itself. Therefore, it i s recommended to refer to your smartphone’s manual or the manufacturer’s website to accurately determine where the NFC sensor is located. In most cases, the NFC reader is located on the back side near the top of the smartphone.
  • NFC technology works optimally with non-metallic materials. Therefore, it is not recommended to place the device near metal objects or reflective surfaces when using NFC.
  • For reliable communication, make sure that the contact surface is not covered or that it is free of metal objects, wiring, or other electronic devices. Any impediments could affect the quality of communication.
  • NFC technology works at a short distance, generally within a few centimetres. Make sure your device and smartphone are close enough to allow communication.
  • During firmware update and configuration, you should maintain stable contact (possibly without movement) between your smartphone and the device for the entire duration of the process (typically between 3 and 60 seconds). This ensures that the update goes smoothly, and that the device is ready to use after the process is complete.

  • On the firmware page, you can update the firmware of your device.
  • The requested file must be of type .bin.
  • Once the file has been uploaded, simply follow the on-screen instructions.
  • ATTENTION
    • The upload procedure is irrevocable. Once the upload has started, it will not be possible to pause it.
    • If the procedure is interrupted, the firmware will be corrupted, and you will need to repeat the loading procedure.
    • At the end of the firmware load, all previously set parameters will be reset to factory defaults.
  • If the update is successful and the loaded version is different from the previous one, the device will flash 10 times on the connected load.

LOADING PARAMETERS

  • IMPORTANT: The parameters must be written when the device is switched OFF (without input power).

READ

DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-20With the app in READ mode, the smartphone will scan the device and show its current configuration on the screen.

WRITE

  • In WRITE mode, the smartphone will write the parameter configuration set on the screen to the device.

DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-21In normal mode (Write All switched OFF) the app writes only the parameters that have changed since the previous read. In this mode, the write will only be successful if the serial number of the device matches the one previously read.

DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-22In Write All mode, all parameters are written. In this mode, the write will only be successful if the device model matches the one previously read.

  • It is recommended to activate the Write All mode only when you need to replicate the same configuration on many examples of the same model.

WRITE PROTECTION

DALC-NET-LINE-4CC-Casambi-LED-Dimmer-fig-23By means of the padlock button it is possible to set a lock when writing parameters. A screen will appear for entering a 4-character password. Once this password has been written into the device, all subsequent parameter changes can only be made if the correct password is written on the app’s Settings page.

  • To remove the password lock, simply press the lock key and leave the Password field blank.

WRITE ERROR

  • After writing the parameters, if the load connected to the device flashes continuously at a frequency of 2 times per second when it is turned ON again, it means that the writing was not successful. Therefore, you will need to perform the following steps:
    1. Turn OFF the device.
    2. Perform a parameter rewrite.
    3. Wait for the write to be successful or for no error messages to appear.
    4. Turn the device back ON.
  • If that doesn’t work, you can perform a factory reset by quickly turning the device OFF and ON 6 times.
