eLighting™ DALI 3-Channel Relay Module
Datasheet - v0.1

Introduction

The eLighting™ DALI 3-Channel Relay Module is a control module for use on a DALI network to control relay switched loads such as non intelligent lighting and other non lighting loads. When viewed via eLighting™ for Niagara AX environment the three relay outputs appear as three separate ballasts. These relay outputs are easily controlled and linked to other DALI devices via the ballast software objects in the eLighting™ software. Any number of these eLighting™ DALI 3-Channel Relay Modules can be used on an eLighting™ DALI network.

Specifications

Dimensions

Weight: 0.15Kg

Fixing Centres (D): 143-148mm

Module Installation

Module has a strain relief and terminal cover. Wires are attached via captive screw terminal allowing a maximum cable cross-section of 2.5 mm2. The packaging meets Protection class 2 requirements.

The DALI 3-RM-C is connected to the DALI bus and to the mains supply. The contactor coils must be equipped with an appropriate threshold diode and 24 V signal lamps can be connected directly.

IMPORTANT: DALI is not SELV. The installation instructions for low voltage therefore apply.

Circuit diagram for three contactors with a maximum power of 8 W:

IMPORTANT : The contactors must be equipped with an appropriate threshold diode. Operation without a threshold diode is not permitted. The controller is designed for a maximum load of 25 W. This load can be split among the three channels. The loads may be distributed asymmetrically.

Circuit diagram for one contactor with a maximum power of 25 W:

IMPORTANT: Outputs Ch1 and Ch3 may not be short-circuited. The entire output may flow via one output.

Example of a main circuit:

IMPORTANT: Please check the inrush currents of the switched loads. Electronic control gear may have very high inrush currents. Check with the contactor manufacturer.
