Overview
The DALI Push Button Coupler is a compact module with 4 contact inputs designed for regular push buttons and switches. It communicates with and is powered directly from the DALI channel, requiring no external power supply.
The PBCD connects to the DALION lighting controller to provide wall-switch integration for DALI lighting control.
Commands
Via the DALION lighting controller, the connected push buttons and switches can control luminaries on the DALI channel. The DALION allows for the following commands and more:
- Off, On
- Dim Up and Down
- Direct Value
- Recall Scenes 1-16
- Last On Level
- Occupancy
- Daylight Harvesting
- Demand Response
DALI Wiring
The bus wiring must be connected in a star topology, a linear topology, or a mixture of the two. Wiring must not be carried out in a ring structure. The two wires that serve as the bus must be located in the same cable or cable conduit. In the cable or cable conduit, the two wires must be side by side to avoid unintentional coupling to other signals.
