Functions

Property text	Description	Default Value
Failure level	Failure level defines the level of light in case of a failure of the DALI communication. Unit: none Range: 0…255 0: light is off. 1: light is on. 254: brightest value 255: keeps the current level of light.	254
Power-on level	Power-on level defines the level of light the device goes to after a power-return. The device reacts to DALI commands 0.5 s after power-on. If no command affecting power level is received within 0.6 s after mains power-on, the device will go to Power-on level immediately without fading. Range: 0…255 0: light is off. 1: light is on. 254: brightest value 255: keeps the current level of light.	254

Special parameters: Low dimming limit

Property text	Description	Default Value
Low dimming limit	Low dimming limit defines to lower limit of the dimming range. 0 %: To off. Minimum: Dim down to minimum level.	Minimum
Switch-on level	Switch-on level defines the level of light for switching on: Go to last dimming value Go to minimum without fading Go to maximum without fading See figure Dimming range below.	Go to last dimming value
Fade time configuration	Fade time configuration defines the time to dim to a set level of light. No fade: The light changes to the set value without dimming. Set of 16 values in the range of 0...90 [s]	0.7 [s]
Fade time¹⁾	Variable: The BA point can be used for configuration of fade time. Constant: Constant fade time from device is used. A limited set of 16 fade time values in the range of 0…90 seconds is available.	Constant
Activate warning¹⁾	Activate warning defines if building users are notified of an upcoming switch-off of the luminaires by dimming-down to minimum level warning. : Warning disabled : Warning activated	: Warning disabled
Warning time¹⁾	Warning time defines the time during which the warning is performed. Unit: [s] Range: 0...15	10
Activate blinking	Activate blinking defines if building users are notified of an upcoming switch-off of the luminaries by blinking on a minimum level. : Blinking disabled : Blinking activated	: Blinking activated
Blink-on time	The Blink-off time and the Blink-on time define the blinking frequency for the blink warning function. The Blink-on time defines how long the light will be switched on. See figure Blink enable below. Unit: [0.1 s] Range: 2...50 0: the blink warning function is disabled.	15
Blink-off time	The Blink-off time and the Blink-on time define the blinking frequency for the blink warning function. The Blink-off time defines how long the light will be switched off or dimmed to the dimming level defined by Prewarning minimum level. See figure Blink enable below. Unit: [0.1s] Range: 2...50 0: the blink warning function is disabled.	5
PrioForcedCtrl²⁾	PrioForcedCtrl defines the priority for the blink warning function. The blink warning function and autonomous timed-off function are only executed when the present priority > PrioForcedCtrl. Range: 1…16	5
DimUpDownTime²⁾	DimUpDownTime defines the time needed to dim over the entire dimming range from 0% to 100% or from 100% to 0%. Unit: [1/10 s] Range: 7…2550	57
Prewarning minimum level²⁾	Prewarning minimum level defines the dimming level for the blink-off time of the blink warning function. Prewarning minimum level is only meaningful if the blink warning function is enabled. Unit: [%] Range: 0...80	0
