ZIGBEE DALI BRIDGE allows linking DALI luminaires with the Sensor. In this way, you can create new extended systems based on ZigBee. The bridge offers all main functionalities like sensor power supply, energy metering and diagnostics. The multisensor is connected to the bridge via the sensor’s dedicated interface. A group of luminaires can be turned ON/OFF via the Bridge DALI interface or the 230 V relay integrated in the bridge.

Device features

  • Full D4i interface: Sensor power supply, energy metering, diagnostics

  • Can control multiple luminaires (up to 20 DALI drivers)

  • Built-in mains relay to avoid standby power in case multiple drivers are connected

  • Mains relay is able to switch any 230 V-powered loads up to 400 W

  • Independent and built-in versions for different applications

How to use it in the LMS design

Maximum wired connection length between ZigBee DALI bridge and a sensor - 15 m.

Limit of one sensor only connected to the DALI Bridge

It is not recommended to use more than one sensor to a single DALI Bridge.

Single sensor connected to multiple DALI Bridges

It is possible to use one sensor to control multiple luminaires. One sensor can control up to ten DALI Bridges, with up to four Bridges having their PSUs (Power Supply Unit) enabled. To minimize unnecessary losses, it is recommended to turn on only two Bridge PSUs.
