    DALI related issues. It offers background information on the operation of the DIN-DALI-2, provides procedures for wiring tests and device replacement, and details the syntax and function of various advanced programming commands. Appendices offer reference materials about DALI protocol.

    The status of the ballast is also queried at a slower pace. This tells the DIN-DALI-2 if a lamp is out or if a ballast has just powered up. It also updates the DIN-DALI-2 internal list of connected ballasts. If a ballast is deemed not connected, it is polled at a much slower rate.

    The levels and group information are also sent out whenever the DIN-DALI-2 unit powers up. The DIN-DALI-2 also stores a complete copy of all information that is stored in the individual ballasts, such as scene levels, groups, addresses, fade time, etc. This is...

  • Page 6: Ballast And Din-Dali-2 Replacement

    Crestron DIN-DALI-2 Ballast and DIN-DALI-2 Replacement The DIN-DALI-2 keeps a record of all ballasts it has commissioned, including all ballast settings such as fade times and groups. If a ballast fails and a replacement is installed, readdressing can take place from the front of the DIN-DALI-2 unit (no laptop necessary).
  • Page 7 (00 – 3F) and the new ballast starts flashing. Press and hold the applicable TEST button for 3 seconds to initiate reprogramming of the new ballast. Once the new ballast has been programmed, the DIN-DALI-2 returns to normal operation and displays its Cresnet ID. Replacing Multiple Ballasts To replace multiple ballasts, perform the following procedure for each affected loop.

    Cresnet ID. DIN-DALI-2 Replacement The following process allows a failed DIN-DALI-2 controller to be replaced with a new unit. The ballast addresses and settings are extracted from the network and stored in the new DIN-DALI-2 controller.

    DALITEACHBYRND command. Viewing the DIN-DALI-2’s Stored Memory The DIN-DALI-2 unit stores a copy of the information that is stored in the ballast. It also stores records related to whether a ballast is connecting and reporting on the network and whether a ballast was ever commissioned.
  • Page 11 LISTBALCFG [LOOP] ALL COMMISSIONED The COMMISSIONED flag is 0 or 1. ⇒ 1: The ballast was commissioned and the DIN-DALI-2 expects to see it on the loop. If the ballast is not physically present, the DIN-DALI-2 reports it as missing and tries to replace the address during the ballast replacement process.
  • Page 12 This displays the minimum dim level that the ballasts can dim to. Note that the DIN-DALI-2 does not allow min to be set to a value less than 128. Even though this is half the useable dimming range it corresponds to a light level of ~3% based on logarithmic curve specified by DALI standards.

    Constructing DALI Packets For lower level troubleshooting, the DIN-DALI-2 console allows raw DALI packets to be constructed and the responses displayed. If the response from the ballast must be displayed on the console, the debug console must first be enabled and standard polling of ballasts must be disabled.
