KNX 2112 DALI Gateway Colour

Safety instructions

  • Electrical devices may be mounted and connected only by electrically skilled persons.
  • Serious injuries, fire or property damage are possible. Please read and follow the manual fully.
  • Danger of electric shock. Always disconnect before carrying out work on the device or load. In so doing, take all the circuit breakers into account, which support dangerous voltages to the device and or load.
  • DALI is an FELV (functional extra-low voltage). On installing, ensure safe isolation between KNX and DALI and mains voltage. A minimum distance of at least 4 mm must be maintained between bus conductors and DALI/mains voltage cores.
  • These instructions are an integral part of the product, and must remain with the end customer.

Information for electrically skilled persons

Mounting and electrical connection

  • DANGER!
    • The electric shock when live parts are touched.
    • Electric shocks can be fatal.
    • Always disconnect device before carrying out work on it. For this, switch off all corresponding circuit breakers, secure against being switched on again and check that there is no voltage. Cover up adjacent live parts.

Mount device

  • Mount the device on DIN rail.

Connect device

  • Control cable: appropriate type, cross-section and routing for the specifications for 230 V cables. DALI and mains voltage wires can be run together in a cable, e.g. NYM 5×1.5 mm².

  • The DALI control voltage is a functional extra-low voltage (FELV). When installing, install in such a way that when an area is disconnected, the lines carrying both the DALI and also the mains voltage are disconnected.

  • If multiple circuit breakers supply dangerous voltages to the device or load, couple the circuit breakers or label them with a warning to ensure tripping.

  • DALI participants from some manufacturers have expanded functions and can be controlled, for example, via mains voltage on the DALI connection. When existing DALI installations are refitted, remove all corresponding operator controls.
    ■ Connect device as shown in the connection example (see figure 3)

  • Attach the cover cap to the bus cable connection as protection against hazardous voltages.

  • If the display (8) shows Er (error), an installation fault occurred that causes mains voltage to reach the DALI cable. In this case disconnect the device and the DALI devices from mains voltage and disconnect bus voltage. Correct installation.

Commissioning

The device can be put into operation, after mounting of the device and connection of the bus line, the mains supply and the DALI cables. The following procedure is generally recommended…

Commissioning the device

  • Switch on the mains supply of the gateway.
  • Switch on the bus voltage.

Voltage check: When the programming button is pressed, the red programming LED must light up.

  • Configure and program the physical address with the help of the ETS
  • Download the application program using the ETS.
  • Commission the DALI system using commissioning software (DCA).
  • Download the application program using the ETS again.
  • The gateway is ready for operation.
  • It is not explicitly necessary to carry out DALI commissioning and reprogram the application program if the gateway has been integrated into an existing DALI installation (e.g. when replacing a device of the same type) and continues to be used with an unchanged DALI configuration (same short addresses device types, group assignments, etc.). This is the case, for example, if a device is copied unchanged in the ETS project design or a configuration template is imported.
  • No ETS programming is possible if no mains voltage supply is connected.

Safe-state mode

f the device does not work properly – for instance as a result of errors in the project design or during commissioning – the execution of the loaded application program can be halted by activating the safe-state mode. In safe- state mode it is not possible to control the DALI operating devices via the KNX or by manual operation. The gateway remains passive in safe-state mode, since the application program is not being executed. Only the system software is still functional so that the ETS diagnosis functions and also programming of the device continue to be possible.

Activating safe-state mode

There are two options for activating the safe state mode.
Option 1:

  • Switch off the mains voltage supply.
  • Wait approx. 10 seconds.
  • Press and hold down the programming button.
  • Switch on the mains supply. Release the programming button only after the programming LED starts flashing slowly.
  • The safe-state mode is activated.

Option 2:
Prerequisite: The mains voltage supply must be switched on without interruption.

  • Switch off the bus voltage or disconnect the bus terminal.
  • Press and hold down the programming button.
  • Switch on the bus voltage or attach the bus terminal. Release the programming button only after the programming LED starts flashing slowly.

The safe-state mode is activated.

  • Even in safe-state mode, a brief press of the programming button can switch the programming mode on or off as usual as long as the bus power supply is  switched on.
  • The programming LED then stops flashing, even though safestate mode is still active.

Deactivating safe-state mode

  • Switch off the mains voltage supply (wait approx. 10 s), or
  • Perform the ETS programming operation, or
  • Cause bus voltage failure

Master reset

  • The master reset restores the basic device settings (physical address 15.15.255, firmware remains in place). The device must then be recommissioned with the ETS.
  • Manual operation is possible.
  • In secure operation: A master reset deactivates device security. The device can then be recommissioned with the device certificate.

Performing a master reset

Precondition: The safe-state mode is activated.

  • Press and hold down the programming button for > 5 s.
  • The programming LED flashes quickly.
  • The device performs a master reset, restarts and is ready for operation again after approx. 5 s.

Troubleshooting

Indication shows “Er”, connected DALI devices have no function, no operation possible

  • Cause: Mains voltage on DALI cable. Installation error. Disconnect the device and connect DALI devices from the mains voltage and disconnect bus voltage. Correct installation.
  • Indication shows “bc” in manual mode, control of individual luminaires not possible.
  • Cause: The device is not programmed or is programmed for central control.
  • Check device status or change operation from broadcast to group or individual control.

Individual DALI devices have no function

  • Cause 1: Load is defective, e.g. lamp.
    • Exchange load.
  • Cause 2: DALI device is defective.
    • Exchange defective device.
    • Switch on voltage.
    • Press ǃ and ALL OFF buttons together for at least 10 seconds.
    • The device detects the exchange’s DALI device and loads in the necessary data. The display (8) shows LE.
    • Simultaneous exchange of multiple DALI devices is only possible with commissioning software (DCA) and project data.

DALI groups or single devices cannot be operated

  • Cause 1: DALI groups or single devices disabled via bus or manual operation.
    • Cancel disabling.
  • Cause 2: Permanent manual mode is switched on.
    • Deactivate permanent manual operation mode.
  • Cause 3: The application program has been stopped; the programming LED is flashing.
  • Perform reset: Disconnect the device from bus, and switch on again after approx. 5 seconds.
  • Cause 4: The application program is not loaded.
    • Check and correct the programming.
