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

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.
