Manual operation
The DALI test button is used for manual switching of the DALI channels
without EIB / KNX. By pressing the test button > 2 sec. < 5 sec. the test
mode will start. The green LED switches off. The current brightness values
are lost. After release the yellow LED flashes and all DALI devices on
channel A are switched on. The devices on channel B switch off. If the
button is pressed again (< 2 sec.) the devices on channel A switch off and
those on channel B switch on. After the test button is pressed > 2 sec. < 5
sec. the test mode ends. The yellow LED switches off and the green LED
switches on. The devices retain their brightness state in test mode.
The full functional capability of the test mode is guaranteed when the
gateway initialisation phase is completed. The initialisation phase starts after
operation and EIB / KNX voltage recovery or a download and is recognisable
by the flashing yellow LED.
If the DALI text button is pressed for longer than 5 seconds, the current
mode will continue to be active. All DALI devices are detected and their
number is determined. The number is automatically stored in the gateway
and is used as a reference value for monitoring the DALI devices until a
renewed activation. The same function can be activated via the EIB / KNX
by the communication object (no. 251) “Detect Ballasts”.
An EIB / KNX bus voltage recovery in test mode initiates an initialisation
phase of the DALI device and ends the test mode.
The test mode is automatically exited after 5 minutes if a button
is not pushed. The brightness values set in the test mode are
retained.

2.10 Maintenance and cleaning
The DG/S 1.1 DALI-Gateway is maintenance free. No repairs should be
carried out by unauthorised personnel if damage occurs (e.g. during
transport or storage). The warranty expires if the device is opened.
