Commissioning

The DALI devices on a line will respond to DALI broadcast commands without commissioning, allowing for out of the box control of the DALI devices. However, for optimal use of a building, the installer can set up groups, scenes, min and max levels, power on levels, system failure level, fade rate and fade time for each device, during the commissioning stage.

Addressing

Each DALI device on a line requires an address to respond to individual commands. To perform either type of addressing, the installer will require a DALI addressing tool. You can contact us for more information on addressing tools.

The DALI standard allows for two types of addressing:

Random addressing

Involves the automatic assignment of random addresses to each DALI device on the line.

After the addresses have been assigned, the installer can reassign addresses to the devices via the DALI addressing tool.

Physical addressing

Requires the installer to physically inspect each device to allocate an address.

Cloud commissioning

Dramatically decrease building commissioning time by up to 100x with Grid view. Quickly change device settings on thousands of devices in seconds, from the comfort of your office.

View your installation in an easy to understand plan view. See the location of lighting, switches and sensors. Plan view allows users to see the position of faults and the current state of the lighting
