Manual operation

The device has one/two
to work properly, the KNX and the gateway must be supplied with power. Manual operation is mainly used
to check that the wiring of the DALI line is correct and to detect faulty DALI devices which are not
responding to broadcast commands.
Switching on manual operation:

flashes. You are in manual operation. When you release the button, the brightness value of the DALI
devices initially stays unchanged.
After the first manual switching command the yellow DALI LED no longer indicates a DALI fault.
Instead it indicates the switch status of the DALI output.
No DALI QUERY commands (cyclical DALI device queries) are sent. This means that new DALI
devices are not detected in manual mode. As triggered switching commands can only be sent to the
DALI by pressing push button
Since only manually triggered DALI telegrams are sent from the gateway in manual mode, a third-
party DALI tool such as the Tridonic masterCONFIGURATOR can be connected in order to read the
DALI devices.
Switching the DALI output during manual operation:
•

status of the DALI output.
Switching off manual operation:

You are in manual operation. Press push button
5 seconds. The green ON LED lights up again and stays on. Manual operation has now ended.
