Each DALI line has no more than 64 lights wired together with a DALI power supply.
Multiple rooms are wired together in the one DALI line, if there are more than 64 lights then another DALI line is required.
DALI Broadcast allows an electrician to test and verify that the wiring has been completed successfully.
A Broadcast command will turn every light in the DALI line on, off, or dim. If any light does not respond then the wiring is not complete.
Once wiring is completed a DALI integrator may be required to finish the DALI installation for the contractor.
A DALI group defines which lights will be controlled together. There can be no more than 16 DALI groups in a DALI line.
Usually if there are multiple lights in a room they will be grouped and controlled together.
DALI groups can be changed and reconfigured without any rewiring. This can be done by a qualified system integrator in a commercial environment or an in house trained employee.
A DALI Group is not restricted to the way the system is wired.
DALI light sensors and presence detectors can be wired directly into the DALI bus to manage lighting in an energy efficient way.
DALI switches can also be installed to manually recall scenes or to manually control groups.
A DALI app is available for an elegant way to directly control the lights across DALI lines.
