HELVAR Imagine 920 Installation Manual

Imagine 920
DALI, S-Dim, DMX Network Router
The 920 Imagine Router uses an Ethernet connection
(10/100 Mbps) as a network backbone, to combine Digidim/DALI
and S-DIM networks seamlessly together. Basic functionality is
available 'out-of-box' without any programming.
Helvar's Designer software allows for advanced configuration
and functional programming of the router. The system provides
energy saving features via presence detection and constant
light functionality. Further automation can be achieved through
scheduled events. OPC server software enables interfacing to
Building Management Systems (BMS).
A PC can be connected to the system for diagnostics and logging
purposes, if required, but all data is stored within the system itself
so there is no need for PC control in daily operation. The elimination
of a central controller ensures no single point of failure can cause a
total system shutdown.

Key Features

• Each router supports a total of 128 DALI devices
(64 devices on each subnet)
• 250 mA power supply for each DALI subnet
• Up to 100 routers may be networked together
• Up to 12,800 DALI devices (16,000 groups) on a router system
• Industry standard protocols (TCP/IP and DALI)
• Built-in real-time clock
• Universal supply input
• Up to 252 S-DIM addresses
• Up to 252 DMX addresses 'In' or 'Out'

Installation Notes

• For installation in a restricted access location only
• Isolate the mains supply before installation
• The external mains supply must be protected.
External protection must not exceed 6 A MCB
• All DALI and Mains cabling must be 230 V mains rated
• Keep Mains and DALI wiring separate from Ethernet, SDIM and
DMX cables
• Install the unit horizontally to allow for heat dissipation
• Any enclosure must provide adequate cooling ventilation
• Please refer to the 920 Imagine Router Installation Guide
