Elkay easyDALi Multi-Purpose Box

Fitting and operation instructions

1. The multi-purpose box allows the installer to either use it to connect DALI PIRS OR allows them to connect to 10A of lighting loads or both.

2. There are 8 connections per box but one must be used for POWER IN and another for the DALI POWER SUPPLY unit to power the PIRs. This leave 6 connections for either   lighting, DALI bus lines or both via either 5 core or 6 core cable of the  ppropriately sized CSA for your installation.

3. At least one entry point will be used to bring in mains  a.c. power and the other for the Elkay easyDALi Power Supply Unit. The unit runs the network power for the Elkay easyDALi PIRs and the lighting ballasts.
   Features
   – DALI Multi-Purpose Box for maximum connection flexibility
   – Connects up multiple strings of DALI PIRS and lighting
   – Maximum 10A rating per box
   – 8 Multiple connections per box
   – Connects power supply for Elkay easyDALi network
   – Can control LED and fluorescent DALI luminaires
   This Elkay easyDALi multi-purpose box gives installers maximum flexibility and true freedom in building a DALI  system by allowing them to use their own cable without the need for expensive connectors.

4. The remaining 6 entry points have 6 connections which if all are used for DALI lighting only will only utilise the  5 cores; Permanent Live, Earth, Neutral and the DALI  bus line pair.

5. The Switch Live is only used when there is a need to  connect some non-DALI lighting thereby increasing the  flexibility of the multi-purpose box for the installer.

6. When using Emergency Lighting it gives flexibility to  wire the permanent and switch lives as appropriate.

7. As with any DALI network we recommend that all parts of system are accessible for maintenance.

Features

• For use with Elkay easyDALi system
• Powers DALI network of PIRS and lighting ballasts
• Thermal and overload protection
• Connected to multi-purpose connection box (374-DMBOX)

Fitting and operation instructions
This is essential to power the network of easyDALi PIR sensors and DALI luminaire ballasts connected into the system.

1. One power supply is needed for each separate network. You can either utilise a new power supply for each network or ONE power supply for a larger network with the DALI PIR sensors dividing the lighting ballasts into groups.
2. The Elkay easyDALi power supply provides the low d.c. power used to power the network. The power supply has in-built thermal and overload protection.
3. The power supply unit needs just a standard 5 core cable to connect it to the Multi-Purpose Box with connections to the Live, Neutral, Earth and Dali BUS line terminals
4. At least one entry point will be used to bring in mains a.c. power and the other for the Elkay easyDALi Power Supply Unit. The power supply unit runs the network power for the Elkay easyDALi PIRs and the lighting ballasts.

Examples of wiring connections using the Elkay easyDALi multi-purpose box

1.  Two networks each shown with their own power supply.
2.  Each new power supply starts a new network.
3. Each box connects to easyDALi Power Supply Unit and routes bus lines and lighting cabling.
4. Allows full connectivity of the lighting system and the DALI network.

How to connect in the Elkay easyDALi Power Supply Unit to the Multi-Purpose box

IMPORTANT NOTICE
We recommend that you READ all the instructions before commencing installation. Once you have read the instructions and product advice sheets then you will be prepared for every DALI installation in the future. All wiring should be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician and be fitted to current IEE Edition wiring regulations.

Elkay easyDALi Network Solution Overview

The Elkay easyDALi system has been designed to make installation and set-up of a DALI system quicker and easier for installers. With the increasing energy saving requirements to cut emissions and energy bills from consumers and businesses alike, Elkay’s easyDALi system is here to meet these demands.
Elkay have achieved this by making the first range of sensors that can automatically configure DALI lighting ballasts, as well as the more commonly used broadcast mode. The system provides presence and absence detection and deliver daylight harvesting to ensure maximum energy efficiency. The Elkay easyDALi PIR is a presence, absence and daylight harvesting sensor all rolled into one.
In a brand new ‘out of the box’ installation of new DALI luminaires and with a new Elkay easyDALI PIR, you can simply wire the lighting, the power supply and the PIR together with the multi-purpose box and simply accept the default settings of…..
– Broadcast mode
– Timing
– Daylight Harvesting
…and the PIR with just a few pushes of the remote control will find and address all luminaires control gear on the network and the installation is complete.
With just a few more button selections on the PIR and the remote controller, the product can easily set up groups and scenes as well as corridor modes, additional timing modes and the PIR will also automatically daylight harvest to maximise energy savings.
Unlike some manufacturers systems Elkay’s easyDALi PIR sensors can be wired to control their own set of luminaires using in built DALI group functions to give control by group and not just by broadcast alone.
The complete Elkay easyDALi PIR is provided with just four elements.
