1.1. Presentation The Datec KNX/DALI Actuator 1x 8 channels is a device for controlling and monitoring up to 8 independent DALI ballast. With its KNX input which is transformed into a DALI signal it is not necessary to have complex electrical installations, and thanks to its decentralized housing it can be installed near the lighting equipment (suspend ceilings) to avoid additional wiring costs.
