Overview

The DALI Light Controller DLR/S 8.16.1M requires, in addition to the KNX voltage, a light controller
operating voltage to generate the DALI voltage for full function capability. The light controller operating
voltage range can be found in the chapter
sufficient to program the application in the DALI Light Controller. Thus, in an office environment, it is
possible to pre-program the DLR/S exclusively using the KNX voltage without having to resort to a light
controller operating voltage (a 230 V AC/DC supply).
For commissioning with the Software Tool, in which the compilation of the lighting groups and the
calibration of constant light control can be implemented, the light controller supply voltage must also be
connected.
The properties of the lighting groups are independent of each other and can be programmed individually.
It is thus possible, depending on the application, to freely define every lighting group and to parameterize
them accordingly.
The first 8 lighting groups have a special feature, as they can be used for constant light control together
with the connected Light Sensor LF/U. If required, even two or more light sensors can be assigned to a
lighting group (control circuit). In this manner, acceptable constant light control is established in a room,
even under difficult lighting conditions. The description of the calibration procedure as well as correct
positioning of the light sensor can be found in chapter
In the DLR/S, it is possible to parameterize a lighting group using the copy and exchange function and to
transfer the parameters to another lighting group. The copy and exchange function is described in detail
under
The following table provides an overview of the functions used by the DLR/S 8.16.1M and those possible
with the application program Control Dim Groups 8f DALI/1.
