DALI - fluorescent dimming
Any dimming method used for dimming fluorescent fittings will require special "control gear" in the light fittings to support it.
One dimming standard is DALI.
Instead of using a C-Bus output to control a load, the load has a DALI control gear in the fitting and is connected to a DALI network.
A C-Bus > DALI gateway ( 5502DAL ) is used to send control signals to the DALI network.
The DALI control gear is configured by a seperate software utility ( supplied by the DALI control gear manufacturer ) and is configured by the installer.
The DALI Gateway allows C-Bus to send On/ Off and dimming "level" control signals to the DALI control gear. |
