Speed up your lighting control design and installation

Introducing the DDC116-UL, the heart of the Philips Dynalite SSA (Single System Architecture) lighting control solution. The system empowers electrical installers to create lighting control functionality quickly and easily with DIP switches and button settings. Out of the box, the system supports 0-10 V dimming and is reconfigurable to DALI broadcast dimming, making this solution future-proof.
The system enables customers to configure different areas and network specific devices together for code-compliant lighting control functionality without requiring commissioning software. Optionally, customers can use System Builder commissioning software to integrate with a Building Management System over BACnet or to be part of a larger-scale system solution.

Installer-configured devices

• DDC116-UL – Single zone 0-10 V/DALI broadcast and relay controller.
• DINGUS-UI-RJ45-DUAL and DINGUS-DUS-RJ45-DUAL
  – Quick connections between different wall stations and sensors.
• PAxBPA-SSA – 2, 4 or 6-button wall stations with seven labeling options.
• DACM-SSA – User interface communication module with 15 configurations.
• DUS360-DA-SSA – PIR motion and daylight sensor with configurations selectable via DIP switches
• DUS804CS-UP-SSA – Ultrasonic motion (occupancy or vacancy).

The basic system caters for all typical lighting applications such as corridors, classrooms, open and enclosed offices, meeting rooms, function rooms, and foyers.

Available functionality

Sensors

• Configurable between Occupancy mode (default) or Vacancy mode.
• Choice of passive infrared or ultrasonic motion detection.
• Configurable timeouts of 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes (default).
  • 1 minute grace period on all timeouts.
  • 1 hour witness mode to test functionality.
• Built-in daylight harvesting.
• Flexibility to activate primary and secondary daylight zones.

Occupancy mode – Lights turn on if there is motion, lights turn off after the timeout period if there is no motion.
Vacancy mode – Lights are manually turned on from
the switch and turn off after the timeout period if there is no motion.
Primary daylight zone – The window zone directly under the sensor.
Secondary daylight zone – The zone farther away from the window with a 20% brighter offset.

Wall stations

• Control one or all five lighting zones and plug load zone.
• Recall preset lighting scenes.
• Simple intuitive buttons.
• Ramping buttons only affect zones that are on.

Load controllers
The SSA is oriented around the DDC116-UL’s configurability via its network sign-on button (service switch) without requiring computer-based commissioning tools. This simplifies the activation process, saving commissioning costs and labor charges. Multiple DDC116-ULs can be connected into a single system to meet the needs of a single area with multiple lighting groups, daylight harvesting zones, and plug loads.
The internal relay saves power by automatically switching off the circuit when lighting loads are dimmed to zero.

System example

– classroom application

Floor Zones

1. Screen/Presentation zone (default)
2. Generic Lighting Primary Zone
3. Generic Lighting Primary Daylight Zone
4. Plug load

Step 1
Assigning a DDC116-UL to the right zone

Setting up Single System Architecture devices
In three steps, you can directly set up devices to harness the power of networked lighting control.

Configuring the controller
Assign the controller to one of the six zones with simple push-button actions.

Service switch functions

• 1 short push – Send network ID
• 3 short pushes – Set lights to 100%
• 4 short pushes – Test mode (LED blinking pattern changes and lights flash for 5 minutes)
  • 1 short push – Toggle control type between 0-10 V (Red LED) and DALI Broadcast (Green LED).
  • Push and hold for 4 seconds – Save control type and exit Test Mode.

Push and hold for 4 seconds – Program Mode (Blue LED flash count indicates the controller zone assignment). Program Mode times out after 30 seconds of inactivity, discarding changes.

• Short push – Cycle through zone numbers (after each push, the flash count indicates the controller zone assignment). Zone 1 = Screen/Presentation Zone (default)
  • Zone 2 = Generic Lighting Primary Zone
  • Zone 3 = Generic Lighting Secondary Zone
  • Zone 4 = Generic Lighting Primary Daylight Zone
  • Zone 5 = Generic Lighting Secondary Daylight Zone (20% brighter)
  • Zone 6 = Plug Load Zone
• Push and hold for 4 seconds – Save changes and exit Program Mode. The device reboots and is ready to start work!

Service LED indications 

• Red: Output type = 0-10 V.
• Green: Output type = DALI Broadcast.
• Slow: 1 flash per second when device is idle.
• Medium: 2 flashes per second when DyNet bus is busy.
• Fast: 3 flashes per second when a message is addressed to the controller.
• Medium: 2 flashes per second, alternating red and blue when in emergency mode.

Step 2
Configuring a sensor

Projects can choose between a PIR or dual-technology PIR and ultrasonic motion sensor. Ultrasonic sensors are available in occupancy or vacancy mode. Timeouts can be set for specific projects and multiple sensors can be used together to cover larger areas”. The inbuilt light sensor on the PIR sensor can also be used for daylight-based dimming (daylight harvesting).

DUS360CR-DA-SSA Settings (default)

DUS804CS-UP-SSA-O/V Ultrasonic Settings

20 minute default timeout or inherits timeout settings from DUS360CR-DA-SSA if used together.

Two different control strategies available:

• Occupancy mode response – Auto on & Auto off.
• Vacancy mode response – Manual on & Auto off.

*Ultrasonic sensors must be placed at least 60ft (18 m) apart to avoid interacting with each other.

Step 3
Configuring wall stations with the DACM

15 Station configurations
Set the DACM DIP switches to select your required button functions.
