Staircase lighting

The DALI Light Controller features a function Staircase lighting, 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 interval. 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
KNX.
It must be considered that the function Staircase lighting consists of two scenes. The DALI Light Controller
automatically selects the internal scenes 13 and 14 when the function Staircase lighting is selected.
In the DALI Light Controller, the function Staircase lighting is an independent function that is also
combined with a lighting control (see
If the function Staircase lighting e.g. is deactivated via the communication object Activate staircase lighting
(telegram with the value 0), the lighting group behaves like a "normal" group, which can be switched on
and off via the communication object Switch.
The behavior of the function Staircase lighting is explained in the following.
Per DALI Light Controller, only one Staircase lighting sequence needs to be set. Parameterization is
undertaken in
brightness values (switch on brightness and basis brightness) are to be set individually per lighting group,
in Parameter window - Gx Staircase
a telegram with the value 1 on the communication object Switch, the staircase lighting sequence for the
lighting group is started. With active function Staircase lighting and receipt of a telegram with the value 1
on the communication object Switch, the staircase lighting sequence for the lighting group is started.
The staircase lighting sequence is graphically represented in the following illustration:
