Lighting controllers application manual
Touch Dim – Corridor function – Wireless
Regiolux luminaires and device mounts which are equipped with DALI ballasts or DALI drivers have some special
functions which can make the cost and service intensive DALI controllers unnecessary depending on the application.
Generally, all DALI ballasts or DALI drivers can be addressed and grouped depending on the system. These devices can
be put into the suitable function via configurable or programmable controllers, in accordance with the system
requirements. Special functions such as the Touch Dim or Corridor Function have been integrated in most DALI ballasts
or DALI drivers for several years. Both work in parallel with the DALI address mode, but not at the same time. Either
addressing mode or special functions.
Touch Dim function description
The Touch Dim function, also called "switch control", "Push Dim", "Touch Dim“ and similar by various device
manufacturers allows the luminaire to be dimmed by connecting a standard commercially available button with NO
contact to the DALI interface. The luminaire can be switched on and off by pressing a button; holding the button
down adjusts its dim level. In some devices, the light value remains stored immediately when switching off for the next
time the device is switched on; it can partially be stored separately by pressing the button twice.
Note:
Depending on the device manufacturer, the numbers of ballasts or drivers which can be controlled in parallel may vary.
This information should be requested in borderline cases. Usually up to 4-6 devices can be operated using one button
without problem. With more devices, occurring induction can impact the correct function. The max. permissible cable
length from the button to the last luminaire in the control circuit should not usually exceed 20 m. This must also be
checked in individual cases.
In facilities with more than 6 devices it is recommended to use certain touchdim-controllers, which control the
connected luminaires on DALI basis. These are available upon request, depending on the size of the network.

Corridor function description
The Corridor function allows the luminaire to be dimmed by connecting a commercially-available motion sensor with
NO contact to the DALI interface. When the contact is closed, the luminaire moves to its maximum; when the contact
is open, the luminaire dims to a default value of 10% set at the factory. To enable this function, the closed contact
must remain closed for at least five minutes. Otherwise, the device remains in Touch Dim mode. The preset dim values
in the device, fade and shut-off delays can be changed with appropriate manufacturer-specific configuration tools.
Regiolux is available when needed.

Example 2.2: Light run with luminaire with integrated Corridor function and two motion sensors
Wiring example
Luminaire controller in fully automatic mode; with motion sensor maximum value; after shut-off delay has elapsed,
dim to 10%; never off. Changes to the settings are possible. A programming tool provided by the ballast/driver
manufacturer is required (on request) for this.
Any number of SDBA S3 can be connected in parallel; ensure phase coincidence! Any number of SDG DALIs with
Corridor function can be controlled, free phase selection.
The application-specific max. detection range of the SDBA S3 must be observed, please refer to the data sheet. Sensors
with other detection ranges on request.

Wireless function description
Regiolux wireless luminaires are additionally equipped with EnOcean radio receivers as well as the DALI ballasts or DALI
drivers. This allows you to take advantage of the benefits of the DALI special function Touch Dim (see the Touch Dim
function description section) without new or additional cable installation.
The EnOcean wireless technology uses piezo electricity to generate radio signals. As these signals only need little
energy, they can usually be generated without a battery, purely using electrodynamic energy conversion. In Europe,
the 868 MHz frequency is used to transmit the signals; outside Europe, the frequency is 315 MHz. The receiver must be
taught-in to the transmitter using a teach-in routine, which is usually run during commissioning. It is possible to
teach-in multiple transmitters to one receiver or also one transmitter to multiple receivers. Depending on the
manufacturer, this can be up to 30 units.
After the EnOcean protocol was standardised in ISO/IEC 14543-3-10, all devices with this technology are compatible
with each other.
EnOcean transmitters are available as hand-held and wall transmitters, and many different types are also available as
built-in and device components. Well-known switch manufacturers also provide appropriate EnOcean transmitters for
their common switch ranges.

Configuration and start-up
Information about configuration and start-up can be found in the relevant operating manuals for the components.
The relevant documents can be downloaded from the product pages of our website (www.regiolux.de).
Attention!
DALI is not SELV (safety extra-low voltage)! Voltages >50 V can occur in the DALI bus, mainly when using the
special functions Touch Dim and Corridor Function (230 V). For this reason, install a low-voltage cable with a
minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2. We recommend the DALI Bus is installed in one cable together with the mains
power supply.
