LOCAL COMMAND FUNCTIONALITY

AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF LOCAL COMMAND

At the first power on, by default the device is set to automatically recognize the N.A button.

AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION OF 0-10V / 1-10V / POTENTIOMETER MODE

If a 0-10V/1-10V command or a 10kOhm potentiometer is connected, a quick change in the signal or potentiometer adjustment is sufficient for the device to recognize the new type of command.
During operation in 0-10V / 1-10V / Potentiometer mode, the parameters that can be set via app will be only the dimming curve and the PWM frequency. All other parameters set for push-button operation will be ignored in this mode.

AUTOMATIC BUTTON MODE RECOGNITION

If an N.O. button is connected, 5 quick presses are sufficient for the device to recognize the new type of command

DALI BUS SETUP

IN DALI SETUP ALL THE LEDS ARE CONTROLLED BY AN EXTERNAL DALI CONTROLLER

ADDRESSING

ADDRESSES MAP

The intensity and the status are controlled by DALI controller

OPERATING WINDOWS

Below are the maximum current values that can be supplied by the MINI-1CV-DALI device when the working temperature varies. Ambient temperature [Ta]:

• – 10°C ÷ +35°C; Maximum current 10A
• +35°C ÷ +45°C; Maximum current 8A
• +45°C ÷ +60°C; Maximum current 6A

These maximum current values can be applied only under proper ventilation conditions

FLICKER PERFORMANCE

Thanks to the 4khz dimming frequency the MINI-1CV-DALI allows to reduce the Flicker phenomenon. Depending on the sensitivity of a person and the type of activity, flickering can affect a person’s well-being even if the luminance fluctuations are above the threshold that can be perceived 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 no-effect zone (green).
