Update time lighting level | For DALI I/O objects, Update time lighting level defines the time before they query the actual light level and information about the status of the control gear. For DALI emergency objects, Update time lighting level defines the time before they query the emergency mode, emergency status, failure status, battery charge, lamp emergency time and total lamp operation time. Range: | 5 |
Device check time | Device check time defines the time before the DALI device list queries the actual status of the device, information about the status of the control gear and error information. Range: | 5 |
Test Query Period | Test Query Period defines the time before the DALI emergency objects query the emergency mode, emergency status and failure status while a function or duration test is performed. A short Test Query Period improves the accuracy of the emergency test timing and the test status information but increases the bus traffic. Range: | 30 |
