Good practices before commissioning

It is important to make an installation test before connecting buses to Vertex.

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

  1. Check for 230 VAC 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 the Vertex power supply. The Vertex will give you feedback through LED.

Check the following:

  1. Wait until the Power and Status LEDs turn a solid green. The Status LED may take up to 5 minutes to turn on while the controller reads all the devices on each bus.

  2. Make sure that the DC voltage on the buses is in the range of 9.5 VDC-22.5 VDC, typically: 16 VDC.

  3. If you have a LAN cable connected, check if the LEDs indicate communication.

  4. The orange LEDs on the front panel over to the DALI ports will blink quickly (port scanning)

  5. Using the port buttons, you can check that all luminaires are correctly connected to the Vertex. Three port buttons are located on the Vertex front panel (port 1, port 2 and port 3).

Check DALI buses conection:

  • First press - Recall Max Level on the port

  • Second press - Recall Min Level on the port

  • Third press - Recall OFF on the port

Each press cycles the power through three states: 100%, 10%, and 0%.

If any luminaire is not responding, check the cabling of that luminaire.

The blue LED (cloud) will be blinking until a connection to the internet is provided. See also LMS E2D REMOTE ACCESS KIT
