Device Description:

• Bidirectional Wireless DALI gateway.
• Standby loss: 2 watts.
• Installation example: suspended ceilings and lamps.
• Dimensions: 252 mm long, 46 mm wide, 31 mm high. Includes cable fixation.
• Power supply: 230 V AC at terminals N and L.
• DALI interface: 16 V DC/130 mA can be connected to the DALI terminals (+/-) for up to 64 DALI devices.
• Functionality: Controls DALI devices using EnOcean wireless transmitters. Supports groups 0-15 and broadcast commands. Supports DALI scenes 0-15.
• Configuration: DALI installations can be fully controlled via the FDG71L and must be configured in groups 0-15. Configuration can be done using DALI-Cockpit or DALI-Monitor software with DALI interfaces DL-USB mini or DL-Flash-USB.
• Feedback: Internally saves dimming values for each group (0-15) and provides this as feedback. Feedback telegrams are generated similarly to an FUD71. Feedbacks of device addresses correspond to DALI group dimming values (0-15) in ascending order. PCT14 can convert dimming value telegrams (%) to pushbutton telegrams (ON/OFF) for controlling actuators.
• The FDG71L fulfills the functions of a DALI master and DALI power supply.

Teach-in Note: Wireless pushbuttons always require a double-click when taught-in manually in the FDG71L. CLR function requires a single click.

Group Assignment: A direction or universal pushbutton with an identical ID cannot be taught into multiple groups. The last selected group is always valid. A pushbutton can either switch only one group or broadcast to all groups. An FBH (motion/brightness sensor) can be taught into each group. Manual teach-in is brightness-dependent; PCT14 can set the brightness threshold. The default switch-off delay for FBH devices after no motion is detected is 3 minutes (settleable between 1-60 minutes). PCT14 can also set a time during which the FBH is blocked after a manual switching action via pushbutton. A short press on the 'on' side of a direction pushbutton will reactivate the FBH.

Rotary Switch Functions

The gateway features three rotary switches for configuration and operation:

• Lower Rotary Switch: Controls operational modes. Options include AUTO (normal operation) and CLR (clear memory/configuration).
• Middle Rotary Switch: Used for test functions or group selection. Options: 100% (all DALI devices switch on at 100%), 20% (all DALI devices switch on at 20%), OFF (all DALI devices switch off), +0 (for groups 0-9), +10 (for groups 10-16), Broadcast (for all groups).
• Upper Rotary Switch: Used in conjunction with the middle switch for selecting specific DALI groups (0-9 or 10-16) or DALI scenes (0-15).

Operation

Upon switching on the power supply, the FDG71L scans the complete DALI bus. The red LED flickers for several seconds while all present DALI devices are recognized by their short address. Following adjustments are read: MIN Level, Dimmspeed (fade rate & fade time), and group affiliation. The minimum possible brightness and dimming speed for groups 0-15 are determined from this data. All DALI devices within a group must have the same dimming speed. The allowable range for FADE RATE is 16 to 179 steps per second, and FADE TIME must be set higher than 0.7 seconds. The DALI scan must be performed each time settings are changed, by setting the lower rotary switch to AUTO.

Pushbutton and Sensor Functions

• Universal Pushbutton: Switches on/off or dims up/down. Direction change is made by a short release of the pushbutton.
• Direction Pushbutton: Provides 'Switch on and dim up' on one side and 'Switch off and dim down' on the other. A double-click on the 'switch-on' side activates automatic dim-up to full brightness at the set dim speed.
• ZE (Central ON): Switches on at maximum brightness (100%). A specific dimming value in % can be defined with PCT14.
• ZA (Central OFF): Switches off. 'Soft OFF' can be deactivated with PCT14.
• Rotary Switch (as Pushbutton): Press or turn to switch on. Turn right to dim up, left to dim down. Press to switch off. Broadcast is not possible.
• White Tone and Intensity Double Rocker Switch: The left rocker changes color temperature (press top for cool white, bottom for warm white). The right rocker changes intensity (press top for brighter, bottom for darker). This function is selectable with PCT14.
• FBH (Motion and Brightness Sensor): Evaluated primarily as a motion detector. A brightness threshold can be defined via PCT14, allowing lighting to switch on based on motion and ambient brightness. If no motion is detected, switch-off occurs after a settable delay (default 3 minutes, 1-60 minutes). PCT14 can also block the FBH for a selected time after a manual switching action. A short press on the 'on' side of a direction pushbutton reactivates the FBH.
• Constant Lighting Control (with FHD65SB): When the FHD65SB is taught in, automatic brightness control activates. The required brightness is set via a pushbutton, and the first brightness value received from the FHD65SB becomes the target brightness. The FDG maintains this target brightness using feedback from the FHD65SB. Pushbutton dimming updates the target brightness. Target brightness can be made permanent via PCT14 or a 'direction pushbutton'. If an FBH is also taught in, light turns on with motion and undershot target brightness, and off with no motion or exceeded target brightness. Switching off via pushbutton deactivates automatic control. Automatic control is reactivated by briefly pressing the 'on' side of a direction pushbutton.
• Save Target Brightness: Press the top of the direction pushbutton.
• Clear Target Brightness: Press the bottom of the direction pushbutton.
• FTK (Window Contact): When the window is opened, the light switches on at maximum brightness (100%). When the window is closed, the light switches off.
• GFVS: The blocking bit's behavior differs for group vs. broadcast dimming value telegrams.

LED Indicators:

• Red LED: Lights up when a wireless signal is received.
• Green LED: Lights up when a confirmation signal is received.

Typical Connection

The typical connection diagram illustrates the gateway's integration into a DALI system. It shows connections for mains power (N, L), the DALI bus (+/-), and the output to further DALI devices. The gateway serves as the central component, providing power to the DALI interface.

Teaching-in Wireless Sensors

All sensors must be taught-in to the actuators for them to detect and execute commands.

Clearing Memory & Configuration

• To clear all taught-in sensors: Set the lower rotary switch to CLR. The red LED flashes rapidly. Within 10 seconds, turn the upper rotary switch three times clockwise and back. The LED stops flashing and goes out after 2 seconds.
• To clear single taught-in sensors: Follow the same procedure as clearing all sensors, but the LED will go out immediately after the action.
• To restore factory settings (clear device configuration): Set the lower rotary switch to CLR. The red LED flashes rapidly. Within 10 seconds, turn the upper rotary switch six times counter-clockwise and back. The LED stops flashing and goes out after 5 seconds.

Teaching-in Sensors (Step-by-Step)

1. Set the middle rotary switch: +0 (for groups 0-9), +10 (for groups 10-16), or Broadcast.
2. Set the upper rotary switch to the required group number (e.g., middle +0 and upper 9 selects group 9) or to Broadcast.
3. Set the lower rotary switch to the required teach-in function:
   • UT: Teach in universal pushbutton.
   • RT: Teach in direction pushbutton (automatically taught-in fully upon pressing).
   • ZE: Teach in 'central on'.
   • ZA: Teach in 'central off'.
   • Scene: Pushbutton for DALI scene recall (select DALI Scene 0-15 using upper and middle rotary switches). FBH, FHD65SB, and FTK can be taught-in as scenes.
   • GFVS: Teach-in GFVS and rotary switch. Confirmation telegrams are activated, and a confirmation telegram is automatically sent.
   The red LED flickers at a low rate during this step.
4. For a 4-way light scene pushbutton or white tone/intensity double rocker switch (middle rotary switch set to +0 or Broadcast respectively), a complete switch with double rocker is automatically assigned.
5. Quickly confirm the pushbutton to be taught-in by pressing it twice in a row ('double-click'). The LED goes out.

Important Note: When an actuator is ready for teach-in (LED flashes at a low rate), the very next incoming signal is taught-in. Ensure no other sensors are activated during the teach-in phase.

A pushbutton (rocker end) cannot be taught into multiple groups.

To teach in further sensors, briefly move the lower rotary switch away from its position and continue the procedure from step 1.

After teach-in, set the lower rotary switch to AUTO and the middle rotary switch to Broadcast.

Saving and Retrieving Light Scenes

Saving Light Scenes

Up to four brightness values can be saved using a 4-way light scene pushbutton:

1. Set the required brightness value using a previously taught-in pushbutton or the GFVS.
2. Within 60 seconds, press one of the four rocker ends of the previously taught-in light scene pushbutton for longer than 3 seconds but less than 5 seconds to save the brightness value.
3. To save other light scenes, repeat from point 1.

Retrieving Light Scenes

Up to four brightness values are retrievable using a 4-way light scene pushbutton (e.g., double rocker):

• Top left: Light scene 1 (default 30%).
• Top right: Light scene 2 (default 60%).
• Bottom left: Light scene 3 (default 100%).
• Bottom right: Light scene 4 (default 0%).

With PCT14, the brightness value of the 4 light scenes for groups 0-15 can be changed. If 'MASK' is chosen for a scene, that group remains unchanged when the scene is called.

Confirmation Telegrams

• Switch-on Confirmation Telegrams: By default, confirmation telegrams are switched off. To enable: Set the lower rotary switch to CLR. The red LED flashes nervously. Within 10 seconds, turn the upper rotary switch 3 times to the left (anticlockwise) and back. The red LED stops flickering and goes out after 2 seconds.
• Switch-off Confirmation Telegrams: To disable: Set the lower rotary switch to CLR. The red LED flashes nervously. Within 10 seconds, turn the upper rotary switch 3 times to the left (anticlockwise) and back. The red LED goes out immediately.

Configuration with PCT14 Tool

The following points can be configured using the PC PCT14 tool (from version 8.1):

1. Turn off the power supply of the FDG71L.
2. Plug in the DAT71.
3. After approximately 10 seconds, the red LED of the FDG71L goes off.
4. In PCT14, select 'connect'.
5. Configure the FDG71L with PCT14. The following can be changed:
   • Parameters for FBH.
   • Parameters for FIH65B or FHD65SB.
   • Light scenes in %.
   • Dimming value in % for one pushbutton.
   • Dimming value in % for Central 'ON' (DIRECT ARC POWER).
   • Central 'ON' without 'soft ON' (RECAL MAX LEVEL).
   • White tone and intensity double rocker switch (DT8 Tuneable White).
6. In PCT14, select 'disconnect'.
7. Unplug the DAT71.
8. Turn on the power supply of the FDG71L.

Cable Fixation

The cable must be fastened with standard cable ties (width <3.6 mm).

DALI-System Integration

In the DALI system, the DALI Gateway acts as a central control component (master controller) and ensures the power supply for the DALI interface. DALI devices, such as DALI ballasts, operate as command receivers (slaves), returning states or status messages to the master upon request. The DALI Gateway's sole task is to send commands received via wireless control to the DALI line and control the devices. The use of other DALI control components in multi-master mode (e.g., an additional DALI center, a DALI potentiometer, or mains voltage pushbuttons) is unnecessary and may lead to malfunctions in the DALI system. It is therefore necessary to remove other components from the system, especially when retrofitting existing DALI installations.
