Assembly and installation 

The DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 is suitable for installation in distribution boards 
or small enclosures for rapid installation on 35 mm mounting rails to DIN EN 
60 715. The mounting position can be selected as required.  

Accessibility to the device for the purpose of operation, testing, 
visual inspection, maintenance and repair must be provided 
(according to DIN VDE 0100-520). 

The electrical connection is implemented using screw terminals. The 
connection to the EIB / KNX is established using a bus connecting terminal. 
The terminal designations are located on the housing. 

The devices should be protected from damp, dirt and damage during 
transport, storage and operation. 

-

  The device should only be operated in an enclosed housing (e.g. 

distribution board)! 

-

 

The devices should not be operated outside the specified technical data.  

Up to 64 devices with DALI interface can be connected per DALI output 
(channel). The DALI-Gateway is a DALI master with an integrated DALI 
voltage supply. Other DALI masters or DALI voltage supplies may not be 
connected to the outputs of the DALI-Gateway. As the DALI is a single 
master system, there may be communication problems between two 
masters. If a further DALI voltage supply is used, it is possible that the DALI-
Gateway can be destroyed due to voltage summation. The DALI output is 
not intended for 230 V. 

It is possible to connect a control line with a maximum length (see table) to 
every DALI output. The figures are rounded.

It is possible to assemble the DALI control cable with conventional 
installation material for mains cables. The two cores of the five-core NYM 
5x1.5 mm

2

 which are not required can be used without consideration of the 

polarity. It is not necessary to lay a separate control cable. 

The isolation between DALI control cables and the power supply is assured 
by the simple insulation property according to DIN EN 410. SELV properties 
are not featured.  

The DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 is ready for operation once the operating 
voltage has been applied. The green operating LED on the front of the 
device lights up. 

The flashing yellow DALI LED indicates the initialisation phase (may last up 
to 90 seconds) of the DALI-Gateway. The DALI environment is analysed in 
this phase. If required, new DALI devices will be allocated a DALI address 
and will be made available to the EIB / KNX. During this phase it cannot be 
guaranteed that an incoming telegram will be executed. 

The initialisation phase starts automatically after download and recovery of 
the operating voltage and EIB / KNX voltage.
