carried out by qualified personnel. All local wiring and electrical regulations must be followed when installing device. 

Overview

• 

Single-phase supply – 

100 - 240 VAC 50 / 60 Hz at 0.25 A

• 

1 x DALI Output –

 Suitable for DALI HF ballasts, electronic 

low-voltage transformers and LED fixtures. Philips Dynalite multi 

master enabled for use with DPMI940-DALI and DUS360CR-

DALI only.

• 

1 x Feed-through Switched Circuit – 

Rated at 20 A

• 

Built-in DALI Bus Power Supply of 220 mA @ 16 VDC – 

Auto restart on overload or short circuit on DALI output. No 

external DALI power supply allowed.

• 

Override and Status Indicator for Switched Channel

• 

Many Control Options – 

Control of this device can be via 

a combination of methods, such as serial control port, relay 

contacts, push button control panels, infrared receivers, 

timeclocks and Philips Dynalite user interfaces on the DALI 

network.

• 

Dry Contact Interface –

 Can be programmed to perform many 

different functions.  The factory settings will cause this input to 

transmit network identification information.

• 

Simple Installation – 

DIN rail mount facilitates installation. All 

connection terminals accessible without disassembly.

DALI Multi Master Controller

Warning

 – Read the instructions - We recommend that you read 

this instruction manual prior to commencement of installation.

Standards - 

The temperature limits and carrying capacity of 

communication wires must comply with HD 384.5.523 and the 

installation of home and building automation and control systems 

must comply with HD 60364-4-41. 

Special Programming – 

This device is designed for professional 

installation only, and will only operate in basic modes unless 

programmed via a computer.  If programming is required, contact 

your local agent for details.  Once the data cable is connected to 

the devices, the factory default settings will allow any control panel 

to control all channels in all dimmers.

Check Connections – 

Re-tighten all connections after installation. 

Power Sources – 

This device should only be operated from the 

type of supply specified on the front cover. This device must be 

earthed.

Output Circuit – 

The load on the switched circuits should not 

exceed the specified capacity of 20 A, these circuits should be fed 

via a 20A circuit breaker.

Load Control Circuit – 

A 2 core DALI bus cable is required to be 

run to the loads. This cable is in addition to the mains feed.

Load Type – 

This product is intended to control DALI drivers and 

devices.

Location – 

Install in a dry, well-ventilated location. Controllers may 

emit some mechanical noise. Take this into account when deciding 

the mounting location.

Data Cable – 

Use screened, stranded RS485 data cable with three 

twisted pairs.  Segregate from mains cable by 300mm minimum. 

Connect devices in a ‘daisy chain’. A data cable connected to an 

energized device is live. Do not cut or terminate live data cables.

WARNING:

 Do not connect any DALI terminals or wires to mains power. DALI wires are NOT 

SELV and should never be considered touch safe. Basic insulation or higher is required between 

DALI wires and mains cabling.

Do not connect external DALI power supply to the same DALI bus.
