Staircase lighting

The DALI Light Controller features a Staircase lighting function, which can be triggered and stopped via
individual switch telegrams of the individual lighting groups. In this way, the lighting group is switched on
with a determined period of time. Switch-off occurs automatically. A warning before switch off can be made
visible by dimming. Furthermore, the communication object Warning staircase lighting (additional object
no. 37 or 38) is available. In this way, the end of the staircase lighting can trigger further reactions via the
KNX.
It must be considered that the Staircase lighting function consists of two scenes. The DALI Light Controller
automatically selects the internal scenes 13 and 14 when the Staircase lighting function is selected.
In the DALI Light Controller, the Staircase lighting function is an independent function that is also
