Device Types

The driver can present itself to a DALI master in six different ways, called device types. Each one uses the four channel outputs differently and claims one or two DALI addresses accordingly. The display shows a short code for each as you cycle through them.

DisplayDevice typeDALI addressesOutput wiring
T.c2× Tc (tunable white), multi-address2, discovered as 2 separate Tc devicesCH1/CH2 as one tunable-white group (WW/CW), CH3/CH4 as a second, independent group
X.6XY + DT6, multi-address2, discovered as 2 separate devices (XY, DT6)CH1-CH3 as an RGB group (XY colour), CH4 as an independent single-colour group
XYXY (RGB), single-address1CH1-CH3 as R/G/B, CH4 unused
TcTc (tunable white), single-address1CH1/CH2 and CH3/CH4 ganged together as one tunable-white output
r9RGBWAF, single-address1CH1-CH4 as R/G/B/W
t6DT6 (single colour), single-address1CH1-CH4 ganged together as one output

Only these six are valid. The display cycles through two additional combinations (XY+Tc and RGBWAF+Tc) that this driver cannot run, since they would need more channels than it has. Skip past them.

TIP

The factory setting is one of the single-address types (RGBWAF, XY or Tc). Check the display before wiring, or step through the procedure below to set the type your load needs.

Selecting a device type

  1. Press and hold both buttons together until the display flashes, then release.
  2. Click the right-hand button repeatedly to step through the eight device types (six valid, two invalid, see above).
  3. With the type you want showing, press and hold both buttons together until the display stops flashing, to confirm the selection.
