Product Overview and Dimensions
The Philips Dynalite DDMIDC8 is a Low Level Input Integrator designed for sophisticated lighting control systems.
Dimensions:
- Height: 59 mm (2.32 in)
- Width: 105 mm (4.13 in)
- Depth: 75 mm (2.95 in)
It features an RJ12 connector for communication.
Electrical Specifications and Connections
Inputs (1-8)
The DDMIDC8 provides 8 input channels.
Input Types:
- CH1-CH8: Dry Contact Inputs. These are suitable for connecting switches or sensors that provide a simple open/closed contact.
- AN1-AN4: Analogue Inputs. These accept analogue voltage signals in the range of 0-5V or 0-10V (maximum current draw of 0.5 mA).
Input Voltage/Current Ratings:
- For general inputs (likely dry contact): 10-24 V (≤ 68 mA).
- For analogue inputs: 0-5/0-10 V (≤ 0.5 mA).
Input Wiring Details:
Each input channel (CH1-CH8, AN1-AN4) is equipped with two terminals, typically labelled 'A' and 'B'. For dry contact inputs, the switch or sensor should be wired between these two terminals. For analogue inputs, the signal source is connected to terminal 'A' and the common reference to terminal 'B'.
Maximum Cable Lengths:
- Dry Contact Inputs: Less than 50 meters (< 50 m).
- Analogue Inputs: Less than 10 meters (< 10 m).
Power and Communication
Power Input:
The unit requires a power supply within the 10-24 V range, with a maximum current draw of 68 mA.
DyNet Communication:
The DDMIDC8 integrates into the Philips Dynalite ecosystem via its RS-485 DyNet communication interface. Key terminals for this interface include D+, D-, +12V, GND, +5V, and a SERVICE port.
Power Outputs:
- The +5V terminal provides a regulated 5V DC output with a maximum current capacity of 25 mA, suitable for powering small external devices or sensors.
- The +12V terminal provides a 12V DC output, capable of supplying up to 2A (≤ 2 A).
The unit is rated for SELV/Class 2 (UL) on specific terminals.
Environmental and Ratings
- IEC Pollution Degree: II
- IEC Overvoltage Category: III
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
- Operating Humidity: Maximum 90% relative humidity, non-condensing (≤ 90%).
Installation and Wiring Guidelines
Tools Required:
The installation typically requires standard electrical tools such as a screwdriver, pliers, and wire strippers.
Wiring Procedure:
- Enclosure Mounting: Ensure the DDMIDC8 is installed within an approved electrical enclosure by a qualified professional.
- Input Connections: Wire the external switches or sensors to the designated input terminals (CH1-CH8 for dry contact, AN1-AN4 for analogue). Pay attention to the A/B terminal assignments for each input.
- Power Connection: Connect the appropriate power supply to the unit's power input terminals.
- DyNet Connection: Establish communication by connecting the RS-485 DyNet cable to the corresponding terminals.
- Wire Gauge and Torque: Use wire conductors ranging from 0.3 mm² to 2.5 mm² (equivalent to 22-12 AWG). Ensure all connections are securely fastened with a torque of 0.4 Nm (approximately 3.5 Lb-in).
