Commissioning
"Fault ballast" 1 bit
Options:
Using this communication object, a ballast fault can be sent or read.
With the option yes, two further parameters appear:
48 2CDC 507 114 D0201 | DGN/S 1.16.1
yes
no
no: The communication object Fault ballast is not enabled.
yes: The communication object Fault ballast is enabled. As soon as there is a ballast fault on
the output, it is indicated by a 1 in the communication object Fault ballast.
Note
In order to correctly detect the fault of a ballast, the DGN/S must have correctly identified all
connected DALI devices and thus know the addresses to be monitored. This identification
process can be triggered via the communication object Detect ballasts or with a long actuation of
the button. An automatic detection e.g. after a KNX voltage recovery or Gateway operating
voltage recovery does not take place. After approx. 90 seconds, all the DALI devices are de-
tected, and the failure of a ballast can be correctly established.
The activation should be carried out directly after commissioning or when extending or reducing
the DALI devices.
The DALI devices are continually monitored, regardless of whether the lamp is active or not
active. The DALI devices must be installed properly and supplied with operating voltage.
If all DALI devices of a lighting group are no longer recognised by the DGN/S, e.g. all ballasts
have failed, the status values of the lighting group are reset as follows:
Brightness value to 0,
Switch state to 0 (OFF)
and any existing lamp fault is reset, as a statement of the state of the lighting group is no longer
possible.
Number of detected failures must
is greater or equal
Options: 1... 64
If the number of ballast faults reaches the value set here, the communication object Fault
ballast is set to 1. If the number of ballast faults is less than the value set here, the commu-
nication object Fault ballast contains the value 0.
