GROUP N 

2.5.1

 

CONFIGURATION 

The general configuration for each group involves the following options: 

 

Group name

: name of up to twelve characters that will identify the group along 

the options of the device display. 

 

Dimming value during DALI bus failure

: sets the dimming level that will be 

adopted  by  the  ballasts  of  the  channel  if  communication  errors  take  place 

between  DALIBOX  Interface  64/32  and  the  ballasts,  which  may  be  due  to 

short-circuits

 or to a 

power supply failure

Note

during the absence of the KNX bus, on the contrary, DALIBOX Interface 

64/32  will  keep  powering  the  DALI  groups  (even  if  the  external  power  LED 

indicator remains off), thus making the ballasts remain in the last dimming level. 

Note that timed actions will be stopped and will not be resumed when the KNX 

bus voltage is recovered

 

Functions

: configuring a set of custom functions per group is possible: 

 

Status objects

: allows enabling or disabling the status objects associated 

to each channel (On/Off and dimming value). See section 2.5.5. 

 

Custom On/Off

: allows enabling two custom On/Off controls, with different 

dimming values and times. See section 2.5.6. 

 

Timers

: allows defining timed or delayed on/off switches. See section 2.5.7. 

 

Lock

: enables a lock object, which allows locking and unlocking the group, 

i.e., disabling the control. See section 2.5.8. 

 

Custom initialisation

: permits setting the initial state of the ballasts in the 

group (or after a KNX bus failure). See section 2.5.9. 

 

Modes

: allows enabling and configuring different operation modes: Auto Off 

and Burn-in. See section 2.5.10. 

 

Regulation

: the ballast regulation type can be configured as logarithmic or as 

linear.
