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.
| Display | Device type | DALI addresses | Output wiring |
|---|---|---|---|
T.c | 2× Tc (tunable white), multi-address | 2, discovered as 2 separate Tc devices | CH1/CH2 as one tunable-white group (WW/CW), CH3/CH4 as a second, independent group |
X.6 | XY + DT6, multi-address | 2, discovered as 2 separate devices (XY, DT6) | CH1-CH3 as an RGB group (XY colour), CH4 as an independent single-colour group |
XY | XY (RGB), single-address | 1 | CH1-CH3 as R/G/B, CH4 unused |
Tc | Tc (tunable white), single-address | 1 | CH1/CH2 and CH3/CH4 ganged together as one tunable-white output |
r9 | RGBWAF, single-address | 1 | CH1-CH4 as R/G/B/W |
t6 | DT6 (single colour), single-address | 1 | CH1-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
- Press and hold both buttons together until the display flashes, then release.
- Click the right-hand button repeatedly to step through the eight device types (six valid, two invalid, see above).
- With the type you want showing, press and hold both buttons together until the display stops flashing, to confirm the selection.
