DALI bus protection
Both vertex 2 and vertex 3 have a built-in DALI current limitation. In the event of a short circuit, the contact current is limited to 160 mA (Vertex 2) and 240 mA (Vertex 3). The maximum voltage on the DALI bus is 19-20 V DC and it is in the safe voltages. In the event of a 230 V AC short-circuit to the DALI Vertex 2 and 3 bus it will show in the user's graphical interface. In addition, in the Vertex 3 fuse will burn, which is only replaceable by the production plant. During a 230 V AC short-circuit to the DALI bus, active devices (sensors and buttons) may be burned. All work on the DALI bus must be carried out with the power supply 230 V for the Vertex unit switched off.
