On any given circuit, DALI device intensity or enter fault mode and not respond. colour can be controlled in four ways: Artistic Licence offers Rail-PSU-D4, a four- Scene - replay scenes stored in the bus PSU device designed to work alongside DALI devices.

DMXtoDALI quad features and operation LED Indicators DMX512: Illuminates green when DMX512 is received. Power/RDM Locate: Illuminates green during normal operation. Flashes when an RDM locate command is sent to the root or the sub-devices (see page 9 for more details).

DALI ARC commands are transmitted to the 64 device addresses of each circuit. This mode provides the most flexible control but uses the most DALI bandwidth. The DALI devices must be commissioned in order to use this mode. DALI Mask values are not transmitted. Page 7 DMXtoDALI quad User Guide...
Page 8
The DALI devices do not need to be commissioned to operate in this mode. Additionally, the DALI devices must be set to use “DT8 type RGBWAF”. DALI Mask values are transmitted for colour values but not intensity. Page 8 DMXtoDALI quad User Guide...

Four RDM sensors are used to indicate the quantity of commissioned DALI devices that have been discovered on each circuit. (See the DIP Switch Configuration section on page 10 for information regarding the function of Switches 3 and 4). Page 9 DMXtoDALI quad User Guide...
DMX value corresponds to the percentage power level of the fixture. Therefore, any command value above 100 will simply result in 100% power level. Please refer to Table 12 for the dimming curve. DMX Value Switch 1 = On Page 10 DMXtoDALI quad User Guide...

DALI devices can be configured to activate colour change in different ways - for example, linked to the next level change. In this scenario the Activate command is not required (Switch 5 = On). Page 11 DMXtoDALI quad User Guide...
