Modes
The driver has six modes. Each mode uses the four channels in its own way and takes one or two DALI addresses. The display shows the mode as a short code. On the display, the T in T.c looks like a 7, and the small t in tc and t6 looks like a hook.
| Display | Mode | DALI addresses | Channels |
|---|---|---|---|
| T.c | 2× Tunable White | 2 (DT8 Tc + DT8 Tc) | CH1 warm white and CH2 cold white for strip 1, CH3 warm white and CH4 cold white for strip 2, controlled separately |
| tc | 1× Tunable White | 1 (DT8 Tc) | CH1 and CH3 warm white, CH2 and CH4 cold white, for one or two strips controlled together |
| r9 | 1× RGBW | 1 (DT8 RGBWAF) | CH1 red, CH2 green, CH3 blue, CH4 white |
| H4 | 1× RGB | 1 (DT8 XY) | CH1 red, CH2 green, CH3 blue, CH4 not used |
| H.6 | RGB + Separate White | 2 (DT8 XY + DT6) | CH1 red, CH2 green, CH3 blue; CH4 white, controlled separately |
| t6 | 1× Single Colour | 1 (DT6) | CH1 to CH4 controlled together |
All outputs are common anode (V+), 24 V DC, up to 100 W / 4.1 A in total.
