Topic 1: Infrastructure Overview In this topic we investigate network architecture of Philips Dynalite networks, cabling requirements and terminations of different cabling types.
Learning outcomes The approach to programming a Philips Dynalite system can be broadly categorized as follows: •
Cabling requirements of a Dynalite network
•
Termination of data cables
•
Topology of small networks
•
Topology of trunk & spur networks
•
Topology of Ethernet networks.
•
Termination of different cabling types.
Cabling Networking requirements Here are some important points to understand about cabling requirements: •
The system communicates over screened, stranded RS485 data cable (such as Cat5) and requires a minimum of three twisted pairs.
•
It is recommended that the data cable is connected between devices in a ‘daisy chain’ arrangement. Start at the first device then loop in then out of devices, with a single cable terminating at the last device.
•
If it is necessary to wire the system in a star configuration the system will still operate normally but diagnosing installation network faults should this be necessary will be more difficult.

Figure 1 – Cabling
•
A 5-way pressure pad terminal strip is provided on devices for each data cable termination. Some devices also have an RJ12 connector for temporary connection of portable programming devices.
•
DR2P/E panels are available with 2x RJ12 connectors instead of a pressure pad terminal strip for data connection. These panels use Philips Dynalite flat network cable. Using RJ connectors speeds up the instillation time and helps to eliminate cabling errors. The flat cable supports up to 10 panels on one cable run and its maximum cable run for a single cable is limited to 100m before a network bridge is required.
Note: That any data cable that is connected to an energized device is live. Data cable should not be cut or terminated while live!
CAT 5 cable limits Philips Dynalite Cat5 data cable is specifically designed for high reliability RS485 network wiring. In addition to a twisted pair for RS485 data, conductors are provided to supply DC power to network powered peripherals. Conductors are shielded for maximum data integrity. The data cable is flexible, as all conductors are stranded, which also allows for robust termination into pressure plate style terminals used on most Philips Dynalite equipment. The extra thick outer jacket is mains rated for use in switchboards, and enhances the robustness of the cable. The cable is supplied in 305 meter lengths. Cable limits:

Network architecture The concept of a centralized controller and the complicated task of ‘binding’ individual slave devices to the central controller in a DyNet network is completely eliminated. Each individual device will inherently know what they are and simply listen to and broadcast onto the network. This means that in most cases, particular devices on the network do not know or care about other devices. They simply respond to network messages, to which they are inherently sensitive, and broadcast their own class of messages with no particular destination in mind. A key principle of the DyNet network is that all of the functions associated with a particular device are located within that device. For example, all scene preset information is stored within the actual controllers. This means that if any device should fail, only the functions associated with that device are lost, other devices on the network are not affected. From a maintenance point of view, this concept of distributed control (self-contained) units both speeds up fault-finding, and allows a high level of fault tolerance in large systems. This ‘Broadcast Network’ operating principle provides the necessary flexibility to ensure that the system can be easily (and at low cost) altered or added to after installation. It is possible to add extra equipment at any time without the need to re-configure or rewire the entire system.
The DyNet Network The DyNet network is the communications layer that links the various Dynalite products together and enables them to interact with each other. For the purpose of discussion it can be divided into two sections, the Physical Layer and the network protocol.
The Physical Layer Dynalite products utilize RS485 which is an industry standard method of data transmission as detailed in the TIA/EIA-485-A specification, with some variations. The TIA/EIA-485-A specification defines a UL (Unit Load), which declares that an RS-485 driver must be able to drive 32 ULs. This means that an RS-485 network supports 32 nodes, when each node bears a unit load on the line. Dynalite products use 1/8 UL drivers, which allow up to 256 devices on a network segment. Another important variation from the TIA/EIA-485-A specification is the addition of an extra conductor that carries a DC supply, which is generated by an integral power supply contained within all mains powered devices and is used to energize those devices that do not connect to mains power, such as motion detectors and wall switches.

Trunk & spur network Implementing trunk & spur topology This style of topology is used in large installations, where there are one or more data trunk cables that may interconnect network bridges located at different floors or distribution boards. The second port on the network bridge is then connected to a spur that feeds the dimmers and control panels in that locale. The recommended method of connection is to connect the Spur to the Port 1, and the trunk to the Port 2. Some reasons for implementing Trunk/Spur topology include: Optical isolation– A fault on a Spur will be localized to that Spur only, the rest of the system will be unaffected. Quantity of network devices – A finite number of devices can be connected to a single RS485 data cable. The recommended maximum number of devices is 100. The use of network bridge gives a maximum of 100 devices per spur, with 128 spurs per trunk gives a total of 12800 devices per trunk. Adding network isolators on spurs and running multiple trunks removes any realistic limitation from a single Philips Dynalite network.

Topic 1: Infrastructure
Network cable current limits and voltage drop Because a number of devices are powered over the network the quantity of consuming devices such as panels and sensors needs to be considered. Typically most panels and sensors will run between 10-15V DC @ 25mA. To overcome voltage drop or large numbers of consuming devices a secondary power supply (DDNP1501) may be added to boost the overall network voltage. The DDNP1501 will deliver 15V at 1.5A. Generally most Philips Dynalite load controllers generate around 100mA to the DyNet network and will drive 4 or 5 consuming devices without the need for a secondary power supply. It is important to note that all Cat5 cable has a maximum current capacity of 2A. It is important that the network is designed not to exceed this rating. Devices such as touch screens draw as much as 400-1000mA from the DC supply. In this case it is recommended that the touch screen be feed directly from a DDNP1501. Furthermore we would recommend that the connections at this device be limited to only GND, D+ and D- to avoid exceeding the 2A cable limit. See below figure.

HF Ballast installation Installation instructions 1. Calculate loads to ensure any channels are not overloaded, then connect loads to the output channels. The maximum loading of this device is as follows: 2. *DALI broadcast mode: 80 ballasts per channel, do not exceed 500 ballasts in total 3. *1-10V mode: 100mA, 50mA source 4. *DSI Mode: 100 ballasts per channel, do not exceed 1200 ballasts 5. Remember that most 1-10V cabling scenarios are polarity conscious. DALI and DSI cables are not polarity conscious. 6. Connect a single phase 0.5A feed to the supply terminals. This device must be earthed. 7. Connect data cables to the device as per diagram in instruction manual for the controller. 30

8. If the Auxiliary input is to be used, connect a dry contact device in between the AUX and GND terminals. Keep cable runs between the controller and the dry contacts under 2 meters. The function of the Auxiliary input will need to be programmed at the time of commissioning. Note: The correct operation of DALI broadcast mode relies on the ballasts being set to their factory defaults. If problems are encountered, press the service switch 3 times, this will reset all ballasts connected and energized to their default settings.
DyNet 1 & 2 networks Operational differences The maximum number of available Areas in a DyNet 1 network is 255. DyNet 1 is an open protocol. The maximum number of available Areas in a DyNet 2 network is 65536. DyNet 2 is a closed protocol.
Network addressing A DyNet network has two different addressing modes: Physical addressing is used primarily during the testing and commissioning stage to configure DyNet Devices. It is also used for physical, location specific parameters such as circuit breaker trip signaling. A Device Type, Box Number and Physical channel number are used to identify each individual lighting circuit. Logical addressing is used in the day-to-day operation of the lighting system. Lighting circuits and control panels are configured to Areas; independent of the physical device they are connected to. An Area Number and Logical channel number are used to identify single or groups of Physical Channels. Areas are used to group related lighting points by the area/room they are in. Consider the example of a load controller that supplies lighting circuits to 2 rooms, with a control panel in each room. The controllers lighting circuits and the control panel in Room 1 could be configured as Area 2, and the controllers lighting circuits and the control panel in Room 2 could be configured as Area 3. The end result would be that the control panel configured to Area 2 would only control circuits designated Area 2. The control panel configured to Area 3 would only control circuits designated Area 3. This allows the two rooms to operate independently of one another.

Enumeration DALI ballast enumeration can cause some trouble shooting confusion, below is a list of points to keep in mind when addressing DALI issues: •
Hit the service switch 4 times to start the test sequence. (wait for the time out or reset device)
•
Check that the number of ballasts does not exceed 64 per universe
•
Check voltage on circuits, it should be 15v
•
Split the universe and then enumerate.- this will narrow down the search area for the defective ballast.
•
Check for miss wired ballasts – miss wired ballasts will cause a variety of dimming issues
•
Check that all ballasts have been earthed correctly
•
Check ballasts are wired correctly – make sure that the long and short wires are connected correctly, to check remove the lamp and short the 2 wires together, this should cause the universe to alternate between 0% and 100%.

Emergency lighting There is a common requirement for emergency lighting to be used alongside general lighting connected to a control system. There are a few ways of achieving this, the most appropriate method is dependent on the type of emergency lighting fixture and control equipment used. Following is a description of several different techniques and their respective deployment methods. Sometimes it will be necessary to combine two or more techniques to achieve the desired outcome.

Self contained luminaries There are three common types of Self Contained Luminaires (also known as Single Point Luminaires): Maintained luminaires - This is an exit or emergency luminaire, where the lamps used for emergency lighting also operate under normal supply. The lamps used in these luminaires are often fluorescent, with a dimmable ballast and can be controlled in exactly the same manner as a normal dimmable fluorescent luminaire. Maintained Luminaires have two line inputs. One is connected to the Normal lighting output of the load controller. The Maintained input is connected to the load side of the load controller’s circuit breaker, which supplies power to charge the internal battery and to use as a signal to turn the lamp on in the event of a power failure. In this example the Maintained Luminaire is also used for Normal Lighting, it’s ballast is dimmable so ballast control lines are shown. Commonly used control protocols are DALI, DSI and 1-10V.
Figure 35
Non-maintained luminaires - This is an exit or emergency luminaire, where the lamps used for emergency lighting only operate when the normal supply fails. The lamps used in these luminaires are often incandescent such as the small “Spitfire” halogen lamp and the larger, sealed beam flood lamp units. Non-Maintained Luminaires are connected to the load side of the load controller’s circuit breaker, which supplies power to charge the internal battery and to use as a signal to turn the lamp on in the event of a power failure. This connection method allows full control of the normal lighting while providing for emergency lighting in the event of a circuit breaker trip or power supply failure.

Sustained luminaires - This is an exit or emergency luminaire with two or more lamps where at least one lamp operates in non-maintained mode and is only illuminated when normal supply fails. The other lamp operates on the normal supply only. This is identical in functionality to having a Non-Maintained Luminaire and a Normal Luminaire both in the same housing. charge the internal battery and to use as a signal to turn the lamp on in the event of a power failure. In this example the normal half of the Sustained Luminaire is used for Normal Lighting, it’s ballast is dimmable so two ballast control lines are shown, common protocols are DALI, DSI and 1-10V.

Testing emergency lighting Most local lighting codes require the testing of emergency lighting systems at defined intervals. Common problems include failed lamps and aged batteries that no longer meet the luminaire’s rated duration. To assist in the testing process, some models of Dynalite load controllers are optionally available with Emergency Lighting Outputs (ELx). This controlled output is fed via an NC relay and provides power to the maintained input of Emergency Luminaires. The ELx outputs from multiple load controllers can be remotely disconnected for a defined period of time, for example a test button would switch off all ELx outputs for a particular office floor, maintenance staff would then perform a ‘walk through’ to identify failed components. This process can be automated with the addition of extra hardware in the luminaire.
Figure 38
Essential supply load shedding Some sites are equipped with a standby generator, which will automatically start upon failure of normal supply and, after operating parameters are reached, will switch part or all of the site from the normal supply circuit to the generator’s output, resulting in the site being re-energised some 10 to 20 seconds after normal supply failure. Quite often the standby generator is coupled with a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), which ensures there is no power dropout during the changeover period. In theory, the lighting system should operate as it would on normal supply, but in practice it is often desirable to modify its behavior. Two common reasons for doing this are: The Standby Generator does not have the power capacity required to operate the site normally. In this case it is desirable to place the lighting system into a load shedding mode.
38
Installers Course User Guide
Topic 1: Infrastructure
The site should not be occupied while normal power is not available. In this case it is desirable to place the lighting system into an egress mode. To change the operating mode, the lighting system must be made aware that the generator is online. This is typically carried out via a relay that actuates when the generator is online, (or sometimes via a relay that actuates when the normal supply fails) providing a dry contact signal to an input unit on the lighting control network, such as a DDMIDC8 Multifunction Input Interface.
1 Phase 40 AMP
Figure 39
In egress mode The DDMIDC8 locks out all control devices such as wall mounted Control panels, touch screens, motion detectors etc, and selects a global egress preset, which is pre-defined to illuminate egress paths and reduce lighting in workspaces to assist in alerting occupants that something is amiss. When normal power is restored the DDMIDC8 restores normal control functionality. Load shed mode The DDMIDC8 instructs all load controllers to use a different set of presets than the normal ones. Consider the example of a room with two channels of lighting and a control panel that recalls four presets: During normal operation, presets 1-4 are recalled from the control panel. In load shed mode the DDMIDC8 uses a part of the DyNet feature set called ‘Preset Offset’, which instructs the load controllers to recall presets 5-8. This function can target a single or group of rooms, or more commonly, the whole site. If it is desirable that no lighting is on at all in particular rooms in load shed mode, then all load shed presets are set to 0%. This method has the advantage of minimal impact on the site, as lighting levels in particular rooms are not disturbed if they are already off or at low levels.

Maintaining circuits by bypassing load controllers When there are only a small number of circuits to be maintained when a site changes over to a standby generator or UPS, a simple solution is to bypass the lighting control system with contactors that connect the circuits to be maintained directly to the essential supply.
Figure 40
In this scenario the non-essential supply is used to hold a contactor closed, connecting the lamp to the load controller. When the non-essential supply fails the load controller will be deenergized as will the contactor, which will connect the lamp to the essential supply.
DMX End of line resistors •
At 9600 Baud the distortion of the original signal is usually within limits and so EOL resistors are not recommended on a standard DyNet system.
•
Baud rates greater than 9600 Baud must be terminated using a 120Ω resistor across D+ and D-.
•
Usually fitted into network connector strip for 1st and last devices.
•
For DMX integration – network must be daisy chained with end of line resistors.

This document is a guide to installing Philips Dynalite components to a state where it is really to be commissioned.
•
Every Dynalite product is delivered with a comprehensive instruction manual. It is important that you read the installation instructions for each product before using this guide.
Learning outcomes By the end of this topic you’ll be able to detail the installation steps for the following devices: •
Wall mounted devices
•

Hardware controls Service LED and switch The Service LED has 3 signaling modes, which are useful for troubleshooting: •
Blinking slowly (1Hz) = Normal Operation
•
Blinking fast (0.25Hz) = Network Activity Detected
•
On = Fault.

The Service Switch, when pressed, causes a “sign-on” message to be transmitted onto the network. If the transmission is successful, the Service LED will indicate “network activity detected”. The Sign-on message contains information about the device, such as: box number, device type and embedded software version. This information is captured by DLight configuration software to speed up commissioning of large systems. The Service Switch three states are: •
1 push = Transmit Network ID
•
3 pushes = All Channels 100%
•
Push & hold for 4 sec = Reboot.
AUX input This is a dry contact interface that is active low. The dry contact is connected between the AUX and GND terminals on the DyNet connector strip. The function of the AUX input is programmable. Ensure that the cable length between the dry contact and terminal strip is no longer than 2 meters.
Top set This adjusts the maximum output that all other control sources can select, i.e. if the Top Set is fully clockwise, 100% selected by a control source will give 100% output. If it is fully anticlockwise, 100% selected by a control source will give 50% output. This control is useful for extending lamp life and can be operated without any form of network control, effectively turning the device into a stand-alone power conditioner and lamp protector.
Wall mounted devices Select a suitable location Some of Philips Dynalite products are available in the wall mounted form factor, these include: •
Load controllers
•
Network Bridges.
Wall mounted devices are designed for indoor use only. If installing in an external location, the device must be housed in a suitable well-ventilated enclosure. Choose a dry location that will be accessible after the installation is complete. To ensure the cooling system functions correctly, the load controller should only be mounted vertically, the right way up.

Topic 2: Installing load controllers
The load controller will generate heat when operating, approximately 2 Watts per Amp of load, and requires an air gap of 200mm on each side and at the top and bottom of the device. This air gap is also required to ensure serviceability of the load controller without complete removal from the mounting surface. This device may emit some mechanical noise. Take this into account when deciding the mounting location.

Fixing the device The load controller has integral mounting brackets attached to the enclosure. The brackets are designed to accommodate 4 fixing screws up to 8mm diameter. The load controller can be fixed to the wall without opening the cabinet or removing covers. Make sure no dust or other debris enters the device during installation. Do not leave the front cover off for any length of time. Excessive dust and dirt can degrade the cooling of internal components.
Allow for cable entry Supply and load cables enter the enclosure at the top. If these cables are fed from below the mounting position, they should be routed around the enclosure to enter at the top. An alternative method is to stand the enclosure off from the mounting surface by mounting it on a cable tray or a Unistrut style product. The cables can then be routed between the enclosure and the mounting surface, and enter the enclosure via the cut out provided on the mounting face. The control cables enter at the bottom of the enclosure. Control cables should never be run in the mains voltage sections of the enclosure.
Supply & load cable Supply Cables -The supply input terminals are located toward the top of the enclosure and consist of Earth, Neutral, and Phase. The supply cables should have enough capacity to allow the device to be loaded to its maximum capacity. Load Cables - Load cables can be terminated on the 4 x 3 way load terminal strips (one for each channel), a Neutral link and an Earth link located at the centre of the enclosure. It is important that an individual output circuit is not overloaded. Calculate the intended load, and ensure that it is below the maximum capacity of an individual channel. To ensure compliance with interference standards, the load neutral cables must be individually connected to the neutral link terminals inside the cabinet. Never use a common neutral at a remote location. Emergency Lighting Connections - Connect the emergency lighting circuit active to the load side on the circuit breaker for the relevant channel, as indicated by the labels next to the circuit breakers. Do not remove any cables that may already be terminated at this location. Energizing the Device - If it is necessary to energies load circuits before any control cables are connected, it is acceptable to replace the cover and energies the device immediately, as the default factory programming is to have all channels set to 100% output. This device should be deenergized before terminating the control and data cables.

Wiring terminations Removable connectors are utilized for all wiring terminations to simplify maintenance, installation and replacement. Note that controllers are supplied without connectors. Please order connectors separately as required.
Figure 48
Supply and output connections The DBC905 is available in two configurations supporting popular structured wiring brands; CMS Electracom / Modular Wiring tag series and Wieland GST18 series. Units are designated by item code as DBC905C (CMS) OR DBC905W (Wieland). Both cable vendors offer a range of wiring solutions and accessories for both the upstream supply and downstream load wiring. The upstream wiring solutions combine both the mains supply and floor network circuits into one wiring assembly, which can dramatically reduce installation time. Please refer to respective vendor for guidelines on connector and cable assembly selection.

Dry contact switch input connections The DBC905 incorporates 4 x voltage free single pole double throw (SPDT) switch inputs, momentary or latch action with four x 3 pole removable terminal sockets for connection of two way on and off retroactive switches.
Figure 53
Network connections Serial ports are used to interconnect other dimmers, smart control panels, sensors and AV controllers. The DBC905 circuit design incorporates multiple layers of isolation to deliver robust fault tolerance and uncompromising safety. It should be noted that most structured wiring solutions for upstream supply circuitry which include both network and power (i.e. 5 pole systems) only provide functional isolation between the data and mains circuits. Where such wiring systems are used, the floor network must be considered at mains potential not SELV and all floor network wiring should include the appropriate provision for prevention of access to live parts. The main floor network port on the DBC905 is isolated for this reason. The isolation will tolerate a fault which raises the floor network to mains potential. Note that this does not include mains potential applied across D+ and D- which would of course result in destruction of circuit components. Isolation is also separately provided to the local DyNet ports and switch inputs. This ensures that all switch inputs and local network circuits are SELV and prevents propagation of faults from these circuits across the floor network. Where an upstream structured wiring solution is used, care should be made when terminating network spur wiring at floor bridges (area controllers), to again prevent access to parts and wiring considered potentially live. In this case only DBC905 controllers should be connected to the floor network as they incorporate the isolated port. Under no circumstances should a

standard user interface be connected directly to the floor network as this may permit user access to potentially live parts. All user interfaces such as sensors and panels should be connected to the local network ports on the DBC905 which provide SELV isolation from mains and the floor network. Where it is necessary to connect user interfaces to a floor network of this type, a bridge should be always used to provide effective isolation.

•
Sensor must be mounted in a dry location on a rigid, vibration free surface. Ideal location for PIR should have a clear view of all workspaces in coverage area. The ultrasonic sensor’s field of view is less directional.
•
Avoid placing sensor where it may face doorways etc which could cause false triggering.
•
Sensor should be located at a distance of at least 7ft from horizontal or vertical air ducts. Adjacent sensors with ultrasonic detector enabled should be installed with a minimum of 60ft spacing between.

Installation steps 1. Mount the device on a DIN rail inside an approved enclosure. The device can also be installed without the use of DIN rail by removing the cover to access two mounting screw holes. 2. Connect RS485 data cable to the serial port as per the connection diagram overleaf. 3. If used, connect volt free contacts or 0-24V AC/DC inputs to any of the 8 opto-isolated inputs. Remove the lid and ensure that the jumpers for each input are set to the appropriate 0-24V or volt free setting, depending on the input type. 4. If any opto-isolated inputs are of the Dry Contact type, ensure that the power supply jumper is fitted in the “volt free” position. Note that this will increase the current consumption of the device from 15mA to 40mA, which may require consideration of voltage drop on long runs of DyNet data cable. 5. If used, connect 0-5V or 0-10V inputs to the analogue ports. Ensure the input voltage is DC and a maximum of 10 Volts. Note that bare faders can also be connected to the analogue inputs by using the adjacent +5V terminal as a supply. Suggested fader value is 10K ohm. Do not attempt to draw more than 25mA from the +5V terminal.

1. Mount the device on a DIN rail inside an appropriate enclosure. Alternatively there are 2 holes provided to fix the device to a surface without the use of DIN rail. Remove the front cover to access these holes. 2. Connect data cables to the device as per diagrams. Note that the device is powered from the DyNet network segment that is connected to Port 1. When implementing Repeaters, connect the link to Port 2 of both Gateways. Shielded cable must be used for long runs. When implementing Trunk / Spur topology, connect the Trunk to Port 2 and the Spur to Port 1. Note that up to 150mA of power from the DyNet network on Port 1 is fed to Port 2, so providing there is surplus power available on the Spurs it is normally not necessary to provide a network power supply for the Trunk. 3. If using the device as a DMX receiver, ensure DMX termination rules are obeyed, use a 120 Ohm terminating resistor across D+ and D- at the end of line. Note that Port 2 should be used for DMX Reception.

Topic 7: Testing and troubleshooting Overview Testing and troubleshooting are important aspects to the installation process, this topic covers common issues and methods to troubleshoot network related problems.
Learning outcomes By the end of this topic you’ll be able to: •
Complete the walk through test procedure
•
Find network faults.
Walk through test procedure Once the installation of equipment is complete at test of the devices is required to confirm that they are operating correctly. Simple tests can be performed to confirm functionality of each device on the network. As all channels are set to Area 1 and panels recall presets for Area 1 it is easy to check the network.
LED tracking To check the LED tracking on panels simply hit the buttons on a panel and the indicator LED should illuminate on the button you pressed. Check that other panels buttons also change accordingly to track the button pushes throughout the network.
Luminaires Hit buttons 1 and 4 on a panel to confirm that the luminaires are responding to Area Preset messages for 100% and 0%.
Sensors Check that sensors are working correctly by sending an Area 1 message on the network by hitting button 1 on any panel in the network.

•
Hit the left arrow at the top left of the page
•
Use the sliders on the page to control channels to confirm that it is communicating on the network
Troubleshooting Network Fault finding Once your network is complete, as described earlier. All devices should react to a single push button message. If this is not the case the simplest way to diagnosis the problem is to: •
Break the network into two halves. As you have kept a record of how the network was installed, to find the mid way point should be simple.
•
Try pushing a button again in each half of the network, this will identify which half has the problem.
•
Continue to break this half into quarters and repeat the push button press.
Power Supply faultfinding If the CPU is running (indicated by the 1Hz Flash of the service LED) the power supply to the on board circuits can be considered to be functioning correctly. However some faults in the power supply only become evident when it is loaded down by external loads e.g. DyNet. In a real installation, power consumers connected to DyNet will present a load to the providers power supply. This can be bench tested using a dummy load.
Panel Fault finding When a panel doesn’t respond to network messages try these tips:
Overview
•
Select the panel in Physical view and press the R key on your PC keyboard. A red reset message should appear in the monitor window if the device is online
•
Check that the LED’s are working on the front of the panel and are following the button presses. No LED’s would indicate a possible panel failure or power loss
•
Remove the panel and check the data cable connection for broken wiring. Repair as necessary.
Installers Course User Guide
83
•
Use a voltmeter to check the feed voltage. There should be at least 10v DC between the 12v and gnd terminals. If not, an additional network power supply may be required to boost the voltage up to a stable level
•
Factory default the panel in EnvisionProject and reconfigure the device to ensure it is configured correctly.
End of line resistors When to use end of line resistors: •
When cable lengths are close to the maximum limit
•
On high speed networks, for baud rates above 9600
•
Terminate DMX networks.

Do’s and don’ts of dimming low voltage transformers When dimming low voltage lamps, Dynalite recommends the specification of one lamp per transformer. There are several reasons for this:
Overview
•
In the event of transformer failure, only the single lamp is extinguished. The transformer is also readily accessible as it will be near the extinguished lamp.
•
If larger capacity transformers are used to control multiple lamps, any variances in cable length will be manifested in different luminous outputs; the longer the cable, the less light will be observed coming from the source.
Installers Course User Guide
85
•
Some transformers can be noisy when dimmed. This is often the case for larger transformers (especially 'E' and 'I' types), some electronic transformers and toroidal transformers that are potted in a fixture.
•
Large transformers are prone to nuisance tripping with MCB's at switch on, although the soft start features of Dynalite controllers will minimise this risk. The problem is due to the highly inductive nature of the transformer coupled with the high inrush current of the lamps. Sometimes large transformers cannot be avoided for stretched-wire or parallel rod distribution systems. These transformers are usually a component part of the system and should have an integral provision for fast protection against overload or short circuit of the conductors.
•
Large wire-wound transformers have high energy losses and poor output voltage regulation.
•
Some transformers are not suitable for dimming. Please refer to the Dynalite Transformer Compatibility Guide for further information.
•
For effective phase control dimming, minimum loads may apply, depending on the transformer type or load characteristic of the connected lighting fixtures. Lighting circuits comprising a single low voltage fitting of 20W or less may exhibit some instability for this reason. Please refer to controller data sheets or consult a Dynalite representative for advice on minimum loads.
Four-wire transformers (DALI, DSI, 1-10V) require a pair of cables for the control signal, in addition to the mains feed. Local supply regulations must be observed when wiring mains and control cables, as the control terminals on the transformers or controllers are not rated as SELV. Mains voltage must never be applied to the control signal terminals or cables.
Do’s and don’ts of dimming fluorescent lighting In new installations, or when the lamps have been changed, the new lamps should be "burnt in" by being switched full on for at least 100 hours before any attempt is made to switch off or dim them. This will improve the visual dimming performance and lamp life. Please check with the lamp manufacturer for specific advice. Due to the fact that different type and wattage lamps may have different dimming curves, it is advisable not to mix fixtures with different lamp types on the same dimmer channel.
