  • Page 7: Application Area

    More information can be found in the masterCONFIGURATOR software user manual installed with the software. The user manual can also be downloaded from the Tridonic website. A DALI XC device in MC operating mode can replace the DALI MC (art. No 86458507).

  • Page 8: Acoustic Signals

    Device description "SC" operating mode Rotary selector switch position C Single momentary-action switches can be used to recall and save scenes. A DALI XC device in SC operating mode can replace the DALI SC (art. No 24034263). "GC-A" operating mode Rotary selector switch position D Single momentary-action switches and/or double momentary-action switches can be used to switch luminaire groups on/off and brighten or dim them.

  • Page 9: Project Design

    Project design Project design The following conditions apply for the project design of a lighting system with DALI XC: No more than 64 DALI-compatible control gear elements can be used. No more than 16 groups can be configured. A luminaire can be assigned to max. 16 groups. No more than 16 scenes can be configured.
  • Page 10 Project design Assigning groups to inputs (DALI XC in "TuWh" operating mode) Rotary selector switch position G The Config rotary selector switch is used to assign a group to all inputs. The intensity of the group can be changed with input T1 and T2 and the colour temperature of Tunable White luminaires in the group can be changed with input T3 and T4.
  • Page 11 Project design Assigning scenes to inputs (DALI XC in "SC-A" or "SC" operating mode) Rotary selector switch position B or C The Config rotary selector switch is used to assign different scenes to inputs T1–T4. The following table uses the rotary selector switch position to indicate which scene is assigned to the inputs.

  • Page 12: Commissioning

    Commissioning Commissioning Requirement: – Lighting system must have been fully installed. A DALI XC in Prog operating mode is designed for commissioning a lighting system. However, if all DALI XC devices in the lighting system are already installed and can no longer be accessed, a DALI XC in GC operating mode can be used to commission the system.

  • Page 13: Starting Commissioning

    Commissioning Starting commissioning Starting commissioning with DALI XC in "Prog" operating mode Note Existing assignments of luminaires to groups are deleted. Starting may take several minutes depending on the number of connected luminaires. 1. Hold down momentary-action switch (approx. 10 s). 2 beeps sound at the beginning.
  • Page 14 Commissioning Starting commissioning with DALI XC in "GC" operating mode Note Existing assignments of luminaires to groups are deleted. Starting may take several minutes depending on the number of connected luminaires. 1. Hold down momentary-action switch (approx. 10 s). 1 beep sounds. 2.

  • Page 15: Grouping Luminaires

    Commissioning Grouping luminaires Requirement: – Programming mode must have been started. Note In programming mode: The luminaire that is bright is the one that is currently selected. Luminaires can be selected using any momentary-action switch on any DALI XC in operating mode GC-A and GC. Briefly pressing a momentary-action switch selects luminaires one after the other.

    Commissioning Finishing commissioning 1. Hold down momentary-action switch (approx. 10 s). 1 beep sounds after 3 s. 1 beep sounds after another 3 s. 3 beeps sound after another 4 s. 2. Release momentary-action switch. Programming mode is terminated. System is ready again. Figure 6: Finishing commissioning Note If no momentary-action switches are pressed for 10 minutes in programming mode, this mode is...

  • Page 17: Saving Scenes

    Saving scenes Saving scenes Scenes can only be saved with a DALI XC in SC operating mode. Requirement: — Lighting must be set to the desired values. Note Section Operation describes how to set the lighting using a DALI XC. Go to Section "Operation"...

  • Page 18: Regrouping Luminaires

    Regrouping luminaires Regrouping luminaires Grouping can only be carried out with DALI XC devices in GC-A or GC operating mode. Regrouping refers to one of two cases: 1. Regroup individual luminaires. If a luminaire that is already assigned to one group is added to another group, the luminaire is then assigned to both groups.
  • Page 19 Regrouping luminaires Deleting a luminaire from a group Requirement: — System extension must have been started. Note Section Starting system extension describes how to start the system extension. Go to Section "Starting system extension"... Note In programming mode: The luminaire that is bright is the one that is currently selected. Luminaires can be selected using any momentary-action switch on any DALI XC in operating mode GC-A and GC.
  • Page 20 Regrouping luminaires Grouping luminaire Note From now on, use the momentary-action switch to which the desired group is assigned. Section Project design describes how to determine which group is assigned to which input. Go to Section "Project design"... 4. Hold down momentary-action switch (approx. 3 s). 1 beep sounds.

  • Page 21: Operation

    Operation Operation Depending on which operating mode it is in, the DALI XC can be used to operate luminaires in the following ways: Switch luminaire groups on and off Brighten and dim luminaire groups Increase and decrease the colour temperature of Tunable White luminaires in a luminaire group Recall scenes Changing intensity Note...

  • Page 22: 8.1.2 Double Momentary-Action Switch Control

    Operation 8.1.2 Double momentary-action switch control Requirement: – DALI XC must be in GC-A, GC or TuWh operating mode. Note If the DALI XC is in TuWh operating mode, the intensity of the assigned group can only be changed with the double momentary-action switch connected to input T1 and T2.

  • Page 23: Changing Colour Temperature

    Operation Changing colour temperature Note The Config rotary selector switch is used to assign different groups to the DALI XC inputs. Section Project design describes which group is assigned to the inputs. Go to Section "Project design"... Requirement: – DALI XC must be in TuWh operating mode. Note The colour temperature of Tunable White luminaires in the group can only be changed using the double momentary-action switch at input T3 and T4.

  • Page 24: System Extension

    System extension System extension If luminaires or DALI XC devices are added or changed in the lighting system, these devices can be incorporated into the controls using a system extension. If the DALI XC devices in the lighting system can be easily accessed, the system extension can be quickly and easily started with a DALI XC in Prog operating mode.
