(Classic) 0. Good practices before commissioning

It is good to make an installation test before connecting buses to Vertex. You will learn the basic informations the Vertex is giving you through LED.

Before connecting the DALI installation to the Vertex, take some measurements:

1. Check for 230VAC on the DALI wires.

2. Check for short circuit between DALI wires, DALI wire and N, DALI wire and PE (measure for wire continuity test).

Connect the DALI buses to the Vertex and switch to Vertex power supply and check the following:

1. Wait until the Power and Status LED turn solid green. The Status LED may take up to 5 minutes to turn on.

Open

2. Check if the DC voltage on the ports is in range of 9.5 VDC-22.5 VDC, Typically: 16 VDC.

3. If you have a LAN cable connected, check if the LEDs at the LAN port:
   - orange - solid,
   - green - blinks (to indicate communication).

Open

 

5. Use the buttons at the ports to check if the luminaires connected to the bus responding control from the Vertex unit) 100%=>10%=>0%
