1. Introduction
The DALI PROFESSIONAL system represents an intelligent flexible light control systems based on DALI
Standard for ECG. No matter if pure manual control of the light by push buttons for one room or fully
automatic presence control and daylight harvesting for a whole production hall, the DALI PRO system can
be used in a flexible way. Compared to conventional switchable solutions, energy savings up to 70% at
significant higher lighting comfort can be achieved. The DALI PRO system is optimized for lighting control
in industrial areas and warehouses with up to 256 ECG. Furthermore single or group workplaces,
corridors or classrooms can be equipped. Many functions can be realized by simple network of the central
control unit to luminaires and sensors via DALI. This guide will show you a small part of the various
number of possible use cases.

1.1. The DALI PRO Principle

Central element of the system is the controller DALI PRO CONT-4 RTC. Based on signals coming from
manual user interfaces and sensors it controls the light level of connected luminaires according the
chosen function and grouping. All 4 DALI ports can be used simultaneously in the same functions, means
ECG and sensors are acting as if they would be in one big overlapping DALI line. Integrated firmware with
regulation algorithms and timers allow an automatic change and optimization of lighting level. The
graining can be configured down to each single DALI address. The DALI PRO system can be easily
adapted according to the application requirements and size. Functions and individual parameter settings
are transmitted to the control unit by the Graphical User Interface running as DALI PRO Software on PC.
With this all settings of the whole system can be done simply on the screen. Existing configurations can
be retrieved from controller for changes and then stored back with modified functions and parameters. An
integrated Real Time Clock provides the trigger points for automatic timer functions. With its plug & play
capability, the control unit starts an out-of-the-box configuration where all ECG in one DALI line are driven
as one broadcast group and all pushbuttons connected act as switching and dimming interface for this
group

1.2. The Components

1.2.1. The DALI PRO CONT-4 Controller

As central component the DALI PRO control unit sets the light levels of all luminaries which are
connected to the DALI outputs. Depending on function of the according inputs it sends addressed DALI
light level commands. With a commissioning procedure which recognizes and sorts the DALI ballasts /
luminaires and sensors / manual inputs the devices occur in a device tree. As this requires no additional
cable beside of the mandatory DALI wire, the overall wiring effort is reduced significantly.

The push button interface DALI Pushbutton Coupler allows a manual control by dimming and switching of
DALI groups with standard push buttons. Multiple points of operation can be built up easily by parallel use
of several pushbuttons in one function. Beyond that the parallel use of a pushbutton input in different
functions (crown function) offers a synchronization between different actions. A typical application for this
is central ON/OFF which influences different functions and groups.

To control also non-DALI luminaires with the DALI PRO control system there are 4 switch-over relays
integrated to the controller which can be programmed by the software and used in action flow as outputs.
Furthermore this functionality can be extended to much more luminaires by the DALI driven relay actor
DALI SWITCH SO.

The controller is designed for mounting to a DIN rail (snap-in).

Important notes
 After changing / adding components the setup has to be done again in merge mode. This mode
shows automatically the already existing components and marks the new ones to be used.
 The position of the devices in the 4 DALI lines has no influence to the group building and
functions. Means all DALI lines can be used together to create actions.
 After mains interruption the control unit automatically retrieves the last light status. But running
functions as regulation have to be started new again.
 Ex factory the control unit is set to Plug&Play mode, this can be recognized by the orange LED
on the controller.

1.2.2. The Sensors and Couplers

DALI PRO sensors are able to detect motion and controlling the light automatically. When entering the
sensor detection area light switches on. Absence results in automatic switch off or lowering the
illumination to a stand-by level. Furthermore the sensors provide information about the measured
brightness. By this a daylight dependent control of the artificial light is achievable. For configuration the
sensors have to be put into a function field and linked together with an ECG group. If there are more light
sensors in a regulation function the measured brightness levels of the individual sensors are averaged
automatically by the control unit. DALI Sensors and DALI Couplers are directly connected to the DALI line
and are powered through this.

1.2.3. Directly DALI connectable PIR- and Light-Sensor DALI LS/PD LI

The motion respectively presence detection of the DALI LS/PD LI sensor is achieved by a passive
infrared (PIR) element. Within its detection area it allows to detect moving objects that provide a heat
signature e.g. persons, animals, vehicles with combustion engine etc. Normally electric driven vehicles,
belt conveyors or moving machines will not be detected if they do contain a heat source. Detection is not
possible if there are optical barriers (including glass walls or windows) between sensor and object or if the
sensor is covered. With its flat lens and therefore denser lens segment arrangement the DALI LS/PD LI is
suitable especially for presence detection of persons at office workplaces. If required DALI LS/PD LI
allows to restrict the detection area by extractable shutters. Details of detection area can be found in the
amendment of this guide.

The brightness measurement is done via integrated light sensing elements in the sensor. To ensure a
proper operation of the daylight dependent control the sensor must be adjusted pointing downwards
vertically. The sum of artificial and natural light will reflected towards the sensor from the reference
surface below the sensor (e.g. floor or plate of the table). The resulting luminance at the sensor level is
measured and maintained constant by the regulation algorithm in the control unit.

The DALI LS/PD LI can be connected to one of the DALI outputs and supplied directly from DALI line. To
check the proper installation and voltage of the DALI line connected the red LED on the sensor can be
switched on / off by pressing the integrated button. Furthermore a very long press (>20 s) to this button
will reset the sensor to default values and erase the sensor DALI address. This shall be done to avoid
double addresses using already addressed sensors in extension of complex installations.

With its compact housing dimension DALI LS/PD LI can be integrated into luminaries either directly or by
means of the included frame. Ceiling mounting or ceiling integration is possible using corresponding
adapters (see accessories) or the already assembled version DALI LS/PD CI.

Hints
 For daylight dependent control of the light level at least one light sensor has to be connected to the
control.
 Light measurement and presence detection can be used independently in different functions for each
sensor
 To ensure proper operation of the daylight dependent control, the sensor shall not be exposed to
direct natural light. Therefore a certain distance to windows is recommended (see chapter light
sensor placement).
 To avoid influences from neighbour luminaires of another regulation group we recommend to keep at
least the installation height as distance between the sensor and luminaires with different regulation.

Application Guide DALI PROFESSIONAL System

1.2.4. Radar sensor HF LS LI and connection to DALI

To detect presence and motion the HF LS LI sensor transmits a low power high frequency (HF) signal
and receives the reflected signal by objects afterwards. If an object moves within the signal cone a
difference between transmitted and received signal occurs. The sensor signal penetrates the most non-
metallic materials, therefore differently to PIR sensors the HF LS LI is suitable for integration into sealed /
IP protected luminaries and housings. Objects and persons are detected more reliable, independently of
their heat signature. This also applies for electric drive vehicles, belt conveyors or moving machines etc.
The sensitivity and detection range as well as the vibration sensitivity can be modified in steps with a
DALIeco Master Remote. The HF LS LI sensor is designed for luminaire integration or mounting with a
bracket on ceiling or wall.

DALI Sensorcoupler HF LS LI is designed to transfer the motion and light level information into DALI and
to supply the HF LS LI sensor with it operating voltage. Due to higher power consumption HF sensors
cannot be directly connected to DALI outputs of the controller.

Like the DALI PRO directly connected PIR sensors the HF LS LI provides additional an integrated light
sensor. If the HF LS LI should be used for daylight dependent regulation the sensor has to look vertically
downwards.

1.2.5. HIGHBAY Sensor and DALI HIGHBAY ADAPTER

To detect motion from mounting heights up to 13 m there is the PIR sensor HIGHBAY with a switched
output. This HIGHBAY Sensor can be connected to the DALI line by DALI HIGHBAY ADAPTER. Within
DALI HIGHBAY ADAPTER a light sensor is integrated. This adds the possibility for daylight depending
regulation for large industry halls. For lower installation and wider detection angle the VISION sensor can
be used.

Hints
 Because the HIGHBAY sensor has a default value of 15 minutes off-delay this should be adapted for
more flexible use in DALI PRO system. To reduce the off-delay to 30 s connect the HIGHBAY sensor
with mains voltage, press two times on the side button, wait 2 s and press again one time - the green
LED will answer with one flash which is repeated 2 times (details see according sensor operating
instruction).
 To adapt the light level measurement amplification factor there is a green potentiometer beside the
light sensor element of DALI HIGHBAY ADAPTER. This potentiometer can be set to 1 for low
mounting height, bright surface and increased to 5 for heightened mounting and dark surface (details
see according operating instruction).

Application Guide DALI PROFESSIONAL System

1.2.6. The DALI coupler for push button connection DALI Pushbutton Coupler

The DALI Professional Pushbutton Coupler allows the use of standard push buttons via the DALI line.
The whole installation is simplified significantly because no separate push button connection cable has to
be wired to the control unit. The push button coupler provides 4 floating inputs. In plug & play mode all
inputs have the same central dimming and switching function for the according DALI line. By configuration
of the inputs in DALI PRO functions and related ECG groups it can be used for dimming and switching,
central ON / OFF, scene recall, regulation value setting, … (see examples).

1.2.7. The universal coupler DALI Sensorcoupler E

The DALI Sensorcoupler E allows the use of any external sensors for motion and light. Various
connection options can be used to make mains signal PIR sensors, floating contact ultrasonic sensors,
analog 0..10V sensors and many others to DALI input devices. Additional there is an integrated 24V DC
supply for external sensors and an option to connect an external LED for setup messages (details see
according operating instruction).

1.2.8. The HF LS LI configuration remote Master Remote

The Master Remote can be used to configure the Radar Sensor HF LS LI via IR signals to special
application requests. With this the radar detection width and vibration sensitivity can be adjusted. Details
see Manual of HF LS LI.

Note

 USB cable and software is only necessary for use in DALIeco

2. General Installation Hints

2.1. Safety Hints
• Please read these operating instructions carefully before installing and using the DALI PRO system.
This is the only way to ensure that you use the equipment safely and correctly. Keep these operating
instructions in a safe place for future reference. You should make sure that everyone who uses DALI
PRO has read these operating instructions.
• Beside of the explicitly mentioned components no further components units may be connected to the
DALI lines.
• The DALI PRO system may only be installed by qualified personnel who have been appropriately
trained and who
have the relevant authority. The installation personnel must be familiar with the operating instructions.
Power must be switched off before any work is undertaken on the system.
• Some DALI PRO control unit is especially designed for installation within luminaries, an independent
installation is only allowed in combination with the mounting kit ECO CI KIT.
• The relevant safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.
• If the DALI cables or pushbutton inputs are wired with external voltage, particularly with a mains voltage
of 230 V, the unit may be destroyed.

2.2. Wiring Hints

DALI -, synchronization, sensor- and push button wires must never be connected or applied with line
voltage. Before connecting any new components the mains supply of the control unit has to be
switched off. After switch on of mains supply the control unit detects failures on DALI line and shows
shortcut or mains voltage by blinking LED (see manual).

2.2.1. Wiring of the DALI connection

For wiring of the DALI control connection a cable suitable for line voltage with a minimum wire diameter
of 0.5mm² (1,5mm² recommended) has to be used, like for example NYM-J. The DALI wires can be run
with line voltage in the same cable. That means that e.g. NYM-J 5x1.5 sheathed cable, where two wires
are used for the DALI communication, is suitable. For the DALI wiring the usage of control and data
cables like LIYY or bell wire cable like YR or comparable is not allowed and a reliable operation may not
be given

2.2.2. Wiring of the connected pushbuttons

For the wiring of the push button inputs there are already cables connected to the pushbutton coupler. If
this length is not sufficient we allow enlargement to maximum 2 m, but a cable suitable for line voltage
has to be used. In principle the push wires can use the same cable type like the mains supply. Because
of the high incoming resistance of the coupler we recommend to install the pushbutton coupler as close
as possible to the buttons.
With longer cable lengths incoupling disturbances can lead to a measurable AC disturbance voltage on
the push button wires which could lead to malfunctions.
The push button wires have to be run locally separated from lamp- or LED supply wires, parallel running
lamp- or LED supply wires may have a negative impact to the push button function. Crossing of the push
button wires with lamp- or LED supply wires should be wherever possible at right angles to minimize
capacitive coupling of disturbance signals. Usage of small signal / low voltage push buttons is allowed as
long as they provide a sufficient isolation (isolation voltage of at least 1500V)

2.2.3. Wiring of the DALI sensors

For the wiring of DALI sensors e.g. the DALI LS/PD LI the full DALI line length could be used. Because of
voltage drops and disturbances recommend if possible not to install DALI sensors in the last end of a
DALI line. Reason: the sensor communication is much more complex than ECG traffic and failures have
higher impact.
With longer cable lengths or incoupling disturbances can lead to a measurable AC disturbance voltage on
the wires which could lead to malfunctions, therefore the usage of a separate cable is recommended. The
wires have to be run locally separated from lamp- or LED supply wires, parallel running lamp- or LED
supply wires may have a negative impact to the function. Crossing of the wires with lamp- or LED supply
wires should be wherever possible at right angles to minimize capacitive coupling of disturbance signals.

10
Application Guide DALI PROFESSIONAL System

2.2.4. Wiring of the special connected sensors

For the wiring of special connected sensors (e.g. HF LS LI) the usage of original equipment 4p4c cables
from OSRAM is recommended. Running sensor wires in the same cable together with mains voltage is
not allowed. The sensor wires have to be run locally separated from lamp- or LED supply wires, parallel
running lamp- or LED supply wires may have a negative impact to the sensors function. Crossing of the
sensor wires with lamp- or LED supply wires should be wherever possible at right angles to minimize
capacitive coupling of disturbance signals.

2.2.5. Installation limitations

DALI wire: max. 300 m total wire length each DALI line
Push button: max. 2 m wire length for each button
Sensor wire: max. 2m for connection of a HF LS LI sensor
max. 25m for analog sensors
DALI connection: 256 DALI ECG and 50 DALI sensors / DALI push button couplers
(limited by available DALI current from controller, address room and communication density)

2.3. Placement of the light sensor

The light sensor measures the sum of daylight and artificial light reflected by a reference surface (e.g.
table top or floor). For this purpose, the sensor must be directed as perpendicular as possible to the
reference surface. To achieve a proper function the sensor must be placed, so that the sensor receives
the reflected light of luminaires connected to the according DALI group. Direct sunlight falling on the
sensor has to be avoided, as well as unwanted measurement of the outside brightness through the
sensor. Therefore, the sensor must not be mounted too close to the window. A sufficient change in the
sensor reading at changing the illumination is only guaranteed if the maximum mounting height is
respected.

2.3.1. Setpoint adjustment for daylight dependent control

For the use of daylight dependent control function, a set point value must be defined. The set point
adjustment must be performed with a minimum of daylight and external light.

2.3.2. DALI PRO Software definition of the setpoint

With a special menu in the DALI PRO setup software the light level set point for regulation can be set.
After dimming to the requested level the value is stored first on the PC. With an upload of the
configuration to controller this value is stored finally in the system and can be recalled e.g. by a push
button in function with action On / Regulation.

Manual adjustment of the set point

Additional the set point for daylight control can be managed individually without PC after setup process is
finished. For this the pushbutton function double press has to be configured as 'Store sensor set value'.
The solution is made for single offices where full end user access is requested. It cannot be
recommended to use this mode for applications where many users have access to the button.

shared by ECG (2 mA / pc.) and DALI pushbutton couplers (6 mA / pc.).
 The max. total cable length is limited to 300 m between the controller and all DALI devices.
For longer lines, the ECG can be used as wired fixed groups with the help of DALI REPEATER.
 Regardless to which DALI port they are connected, all DALI luminaires and DALI input devices
can be used together in a function.

Configuring the Light Regulation Setpoint

1) Reduce the amount of daylight as much as possible to prevent a saturation of the sensor e.g. by
closing the blinds.
2) Click to the according function area on screen
3) If a light sensor is part of the function in the properties the bubble in front of 'Regulation settings'
is shown green

.
4) Press the light button on the right side and the light regulation window will occur
5) Dim up / down until the requested brightness value is reached
6) Press 'Fix light level to set the regulation set point.
7) With a proper planning the requested light level e.g. 200 lx on the ground should be regulated.
Hints:
 ‘Switch light off’ = Yes results in regulation and off when sufficient external light is measured.
There is no automatic restart of the illumination if light level gets lower afterwards (half-
automatic).
 At too low levels with presence detected by PIR or manual control light will switch on again
 If requested light level is already achieved without artificial illumination the PIR signal will not
switch on the lights.

3.4. Corridor in industry-/logistics halls

Functional requirements
 Vehicles and people in a corridor have to be detected reliable.
 As soon as motion is detected, the lighting dims automatically up to the normal illuminance of 80%.
With a delay time of 5 minutes after leaving the detection area, it will automatically be dimmed down to
the basic lighting of 30%.
 If the system doesn’t detect motion for 60 minutes, the basic lighting will be reduced again for safety
reasons to the required minimum lighting of 10%.
Functional profile

Solution description
 The luminaires are connected via DALI lines A, B, C, D to the control unit.
 The presence detection is achieved via radar sensor technology.
 The radar sensor is attached via a DALI coupler.

4. Trouble shooting
The manual control doesn’t work
Possible reasons:
- The pushbutton is not connected to the group
check configuration
- The wiring of the button to the coupler is not correct
check wiring with test function

The daylight-dependent regulation doesn’t work

Possible reasons:
- The light sensor is not connected to the group
check configuration
- The light sensor is not covering the illumination area
check distance and if sensor is direct above area

The presence detection doesn’t work

Possible reasons:
- The PIR sensor is not connected to the group
check configuration
- The PIR sensor is not covering the motion area
check distance and if sensor is direct visible from motion area

The central function of the control unit doesn’t work

Possible reasons:
- Not all ECG are connected to the central function
define new big group with all ECG included

Use of HIGHBAY sensor with DALI HIGHBAY ADAPTER

As factory setting the HIGHBAY sensor has a 15 minute switch-off delay. This has to be counted on top
of the delay settings in the DALI PRO configuration. If shorter delay is requested e.g.-in warehouse
corridor the delay of the HIGHBAY sensor can be reduced to 30 s. For this press the side button of the
sensor twice, then again once. The green LED will confirm the new setting with 1 flash repeated 3 times.
Details see sensor manual. For switch-off delay in DALI PRO software configuration we recommend not
to use less than 60 s to avoid unnecessary ON/OFF cycles.

Reduce PIR sensor capture area

In some applications it makes sense to limit the PIR sensor detection area. For this there are 2 half-circle
shutters beside the PIR sensor element which can be tied out separately and turned. Especially in a
single office where the sensor reacts to persons walking on the corridor this can be a quick solution.

Exchange defect ECG

To exchange a defect ECG install new luminaire / ECG. Start PC software, connect PC to controller, load
back actual configuration from controller. Merge configuration with real project. The new ECG will occur in
blue. Finish setup and drop new ECG into group of defect ECG. Delete old defect ECG. Upload
configuration to controller.
