The DALI installation should be done in compiance with IEC 62386 standard. For more information go to DiiA website |
DALI bus cable parameters
Use copper conductors with Wiring for DALI needs a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm2. Connect the communication buses to the electrical switchgear, in which the VERTEX controllers will be installed, as well as to all actuators (luminaires, buttons and sensors)all devices (input devices and luminaires to the DALI buses of the VERTEX controllers.
DALI bus length
The maximum length of the DALI wiring with a 1.5 mm2 cross-section is 300 m. If that distance is
exceeded or if wiring with an incorrect cross-section is used, the system may not work correctly.
See how to double this distance.

Electrical conditions for the DALI bus
The correct voltage range for the DALI bus:
9.5 VDC-22.5 VDC5V DC, typicaltypicaly: 16 VDC
Continuous DALI bus current on the DALI bus:
230 mA* for VERTEX ApC

16V DC
The continuous current for each DALI bus must not exceed:
230mA for Vertex3
180mA for Vertex2

Device limits on the DALI busRemember about the three basic limitations that are important for the correct operation of the Ethernet2DALI system: |
DALI bus topologies
Use only the permitted DALI bus topologies.Allowable ways to connect DALI devices can be seen here
LAN network installation
The structural network must be installed in accordance with the best practices for electrical work. Use F-UTP category 5e cables. Install the RJ-45 on the cable end and prepare for the connection of network devicesends. The maximum cable distance between the network devices is 100 m.
