COMPATIBLE BALLASTS
DALIBOX Interface 64/32
is able to control DALI-certified ballasts (i.e., with the DALI
logo) that make use of only one individual address. Specifically, it is designed to be
compatible with types 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the DALI device type classification,
shown in Table 1. Please note that future versions of the application program may
support additional ballast types.

DALI device type classification.
Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for other ballasts.
Nevertheless, not all DALI-certified ballasts behave the same way
– certain particularities
apply:
Ballasts with LED loads do not report lamp failures; therefore, with these
ballasts it is not possible to notify such circumstance to the KNX bus.
When a lamp failure takes place, certain ballasts with fluorescent lamps may
cause the remaining lamps flash briefly.
Fluorescent-lamp ballasts need an extra time to switch off the load when a non-
immediate regulation to 0% is commanded.
Certain ballast models, on the event of a DALI communication error (e.g., short-
circuit or power failure), do not switch to the dimming value configured for such
