Overview
The DALI Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) is a lighting control
device used to control any standard 0-10V current sourcing
dimmable ballast/driver using Digital and Addressable Lighting
Interface (DALI). It allows dimming control by converting DALI
messages into 0-10V dimming signals and on/off control by
leveraging the built-in relay.
Features
Built-in latching relay and 0-10V current sinking interface used to
integrate individual or a group of dimmable 0-10V ballasts/drivers
to DALI based lighting control systems including Fifth Light.
All DALI DAC’s device settings (fade, scenes and groups)
configured through the Fifth Light’s Lighting Management
software, eliminating the need for manual adjustments
Automatic detection of the DALI Bus power loss with default to
closed, i.e. on or 100% position.
Available for Class 1 or Class 2 wiring configurations.
Ultra low profile form factor designed to fit inside ballast compart
ment of most standard luminaires.
Easily mountable to fixture housing through standard knockout
using supplied 90° elbow and mounting clip.
Powered by the DALI bus and only requires line in and line out
connections. Neutral and earth connection not required.
Robust DALI communication interface withstands accidental
connection to power lines (up to 347V).
