    This work can be carried out offline without connection to the KNX, or without connection to the EK-BF1-TP-D1/D2. The actual DALI commissioning is only possible online, that means a connection to the device is necessary. In this step, all connected ECGs are searched and found and can then be assigned to the preconfigured configuration.

  • Page 93: Time Control

    Presence / movement sensor EK-DH4-TP 14 Time Control In order to use the colour setting options of DT-8 devices, EK-BF1-TP-D1/D2 offers an integrated colour control module. With this module, users can automatically set a defined light colour for a certain time or date. This function is particularly interesting for white light control. Changes in colour temperature over the course of a day have a positive effect on well-being and efficiency in the work place.
