PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SLIM-1CC-DALI is a 1-channel Hybrid modulated Constant Current (CC) LED
dimmer, which can be connected to a SELV constant voltage (12 ÷ 48) Vdc power
supply. Hybrid modulation consists of a smart selection between Amplitude
Modulation (AM) and Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), depending on the current
delivered by the output stage: typically, the AM modulation operates for high
output currents (> 350 mA), instead of PWM modulation that applies for lower
currents. The dimmer is suitable for driving loads such as Spotlight and
white, single-colour, LED modules at constant current and can be controlled
via DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) digital protocol. SLIM-1CC-
DALI can deliver a maximum output current of 1.6 A and has the following
detections and protections: open-circuit and short-circuit detection, over-
voltage and under-voltage protections, reverse polarity protection and input
fuse protection.
Through the Dalcnet LightApp© mobile application and smartphones equipped with
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, it is possible to configure
multiple parameters when the device is powered OFF, including maximum output
current, adjustment curve and maximum/minimum brightness levels. Dalcnet
LightApp© can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple APP Store and Google
Play Store.

INSTALLATION
Figure 1: Tc point position
ATTENTION! Installation and maintenance must always be conducted in the
absence of voltage. Before continuing with the connection of the device to the
power supply, make sure that the voltage of the power source is disconnected
from the system.
The device should only be connected and installed by qualified personnel. All
applicable regulations, legislation, standards, and building codes must be
adhered to. Incorrect installation of the device may cause irreparable damage
to the device and connected loads.
The following paragraphs show the diagrams of the dimmer’s connection to the
remote control, the load and the supply voltage. It is recommended to follow
these steps to install the product safely:
1. Load wiring: connect the LED load positive to the “L1” terminal with the
“+” symbol, and the LED load negatives to the “L1” terminal with the “-”
symbol.
2. Remote Control wiring: connect the DA data bus signals to the “DALI”
terminals with the “DA” symbols. 3. Power wiring: connect a 12-24-48 Vdc
constant voltage SELV power supply (depending on the nameplate data of the
LED load) to the “+” and “-” terminals of the DC IN terminal.
Note: no local control (e.g. push-button, potentiometer, 1-10V signal, etc.)
terminal is provided.
LOAD CONNECTION
SLIM-1CC-DALI has 1 output channel that can be driven independently (e.g. for
spotlight LED modules).

REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTION
SLIM-1CC-DALI can be controlled remotely via DALI digital bus by a simple two-
wire cable (untwisted and unshielded). The control is conducted by a DALI
Master, which provides commands to the devices in the DALI network and, if
necessary, power supply3 to the network itself.
To connect SLIM-1CC-DALI to the DALI network, simply connect the bus cables to
the “DA” terminals of the “DALI” terminal: as different topologies are
possible, it is not necessary to observe the polarity of the “DA+” and “DA-”
signals of the bus when connecting.
DALI CABLING TOPOLOGIES
The DALI protocol supports several cabling topologies, i.e. Bus-wiring, shown
as an example in Figure 3.

REMOTE CONTROL: DALI
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a protocol developed by the
DALI Alliance (DIIA) to allow the management, configuration and programming of
LED lighting systems in digital mode: through a two-way communication process
between devices and control units, it is possible to execute ON, OFF or dimmer
commands, report faults or information of various kinds. Based on a
Master/Slave architecture, the DALI standard allows both single digital
control of devices and programming in groups and/or broadcast.
In its second version, DALI-2 allows first full compatibility with the earlier
protocol, and secondly brings numerous improvements compared to DALI-1:
1. Addition of lighting control devices: e.g. buttons, sensors, and LED
drivers that were not included in the earlier version. In addition, to obtain
DALI-2 certification, the new protocol requires the execution of functional
and compliance tests by DIIA.
2. Introduction of the Multi Master architecture: with the regulation of the
various lighting control devices, it is possible to send commands and signals
to the DALI-2 bus from multiple sources, easing independent, immediate, and
simultaneous data communication.
3. Development of functional and application standards: new extensions have
been drawn up for DALI-2 devices, e.g. for emergency lighting or colour
control, creating a new product standard for smart lighting and IoT systems
called D4i.
PROFILE MAPPING: OPERATION MODE
The DALI protocol provides two configurations depending on the light
characteristics to be obtained through the LED module connected to the
outputs. Each profile is composed of a defined number of 8-bit channels, whose
values can be set in the range (0 ÷ 255), each of which stands for a light
characteristic (e.g. brightness, colour, temperature, etc.) to be modulated on
the LED load. SLIM-1CC-DALI supports only the DT6 profile to provide
adjustment of the light intensity for the single output channel.
DT6 – 1 CHANNEL
The “DT6” profile allows you to adjust the light intensity for the output
channel. In the §Diagram for White or Single-Colour LED Loads section, it is
possible to find details on the type of load and the most suitable connection
diagram for this operating mode. It is understood that this profile can be
used with all the other types of load proposed in this document (see §Load
Connection) by configuring the device in the dedicated LightApp© section (see
§Channel 0).

FLICKER PERFORMANCE
Made in Italy
Thanks to the Hybrid modulation, the SLIM-1CC-DALI effectively reduces the
occurrence of the Flicker phenomenon. Depending on an individual’s sensitivity
and the nature of their activities, flickering can affect one’s well-being,
even if the changes in luminance are beyond the threshold detectable by the
human eye.
The graph shows the phenomenon of Flickering in function at the frequency,
measured throughout the dimming range. The results show the low-risk zone
(yellow) and the noeffect zone (green), defined by IEEE 1789-20154.

NFC (NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION) WARNINGS
The NFC antenna is located inside the device, the contact surface of which is
indicated with the symbol Position your smartphone so that its NFC antenna is
in contact with the symbol on the device. The location of the NFC sensor on
the smartphone is dependent on the make and model of the smartphone itself.
Therefore, it i s recommended to refer to your smartphone’s manual or the
manufacturer’s website to accurately determine where the NFC sensor i s
located. In most cases, the NFC reader is located on the back side near the
top of the smartphone. NFC technology works optimally with non-metallic
materials. Therefore, it is not recommended to place the device near metal
objects or reflective surfaces when using NFC. For reliable communication,
make sure that the contact surface is not covered or that it is free of metal
objects, wiring, or other electronic devices. Any impediments could affect the
quality of communication. NFC technology works at a short distance, generally
within a few centimeters. Make sure your device and smartphone are close
enough to allow communication. During firmware update and configuration, you
should keep stable contact (possibly without movement) between your smartphone
and the device for the entire duration of the process (typically between 3 and
60 seconds). This ensures that the update goes smoothly, and that the device
is ready to use after the process is complete.

FIRMWARE
SLIM-1CC-DALI
Device Manual
Made in Italy
On the firmware page, you can update the firmware of your device.
The requested file must be of type .bin.
Once the file has been uploaded, simply follow the on-screen instructions.
ATTENTION: The upload procedure is irrevocable. Once the upload has started,
it will not be possible to pause it. If the procedure is interrupted, the
firmware will be corrupted, and you will need to repeat the loading procedure.
At the end of the firmware load, all previously set parameters will be reset
to factory defaults.
If the update is successful and the loaded version is different from the
earlier one, the device will flash 10 times on the connected load.
LOADING PARAMETERS
IMPORTANT: The parameters must be written when the device is switched OFF
(without input power).
READ
With the app in READ mode, the smartphone will scan the device and show its
current configuration on the screen.
WRITE
In WRITE mode, the smartphone will write the parameter configuration set on
the screen to the device.
In normal mode (Write All switched OFF) the app writes only the parameters
that have changed since the previous read. In this mode, the write will only
be successful if the serial number of the device matches the one previously
read.
In Write All mode, all parameters are written. In this mode, the write will
only be successful if the device model matches the one previously read. It is
recommended to activate the Write All mode only when you need to replicate the
same configuration on many examples of the same model.
WRITE PROTECTION
By the padlock button it is possible to set a lock when writing parameters. A
screen will appear for entering a 4-character password. Once this password has
been written into the device, all next parameter changes can only be made if
the correct password is written on the app’s Settings page.
To remove the password lock, simply press the lock key and leave the Password
field blank.

WRITE ERROR
After writing the parameters, if the load connected to the device flashes
continuously at a frequency of 2 times per second when it is turned ON again,
it means that the writing was not successful. Therefore, you will need to
perform the following steps:
1. Turn OFF the device. 2. Perform a parameter rewrite. 3. Wait for the write
to be successful or for no error messages to appear. 4. Turn the device back
ON. If that doesn’t work, you can perform a factory reset by quickly turning
the device OFF and ON 6 times.
