with 1 / 2 - channels

Codes: EK-GD2-DL-1-LV, EK-GD2-DL-2-LV

Main functional characteristics

• 

Memory  function  configurable  via  DALI  bus:  it  stores 

the last brightness level, in case of power failure

• 

Soft switching on and off

• 

Brightness adjustment to full power off (dim-to-dark)

• 

Min. brightness level: 0.1% (1% with push for 1 CH)

• 

DALI-settable  dimming  curve:  linear/logarithmic  for 

1CH, 2 CH, linear/quadratic/exponential for 4 CH

• 

On and off times settable via DALI

• 

Control inputs: N.O. push button (for EK-GD2-DL-1-LV 

only), DALI

• 

Optimized output curve

• 

Button for mode change and / or DT6 / DT8 selection 

(depending on the device version)

• 

Status LED (switch to stand-by after 1 min.)

DALI 2 bus dimmer with 12/48 Vdc voltage supply and 1 

or 2 channels, with brightness of LED sources control and 

dimmable in PWM modulation.

Datasheet STEKGD2DL12LV_EN

Note:

 the 1-CH device factory default values are: 

automatic detection of the local command set to 

N.O. pushbutton and minimum dimming value set 

to 1%.

Description

The ekinex dimmers DALI 2 standard with 1 / 2-channels 

EK-GD2-DL-1-LV and EK-GD2-DL-2-LV allow brightness 

control of LED loads from 12 to 48 Vdc in constant volta

-

ge, dimmable in PWM modulation.

• 

The 1 CH model is DALI DT6 only and equipped with a 

local control device (N.O. button), connected directly to 

the dedicated input, with stand-alone or status update 

function on the DALI bus.

• 

the 2 CH model can be configured with a single DT6 

output channel, 2 single DT6 channels or a single chan

-

nel in TW DALI DT8 mode.

DT6 / DT8 setting for EK-GD2-DL-2-LV model is done via 

local selector switch. The devices have an integrated bus 

communication module DALI 2 certified.
