ZWD DALI Devices

Please review Basics of DALI



ZWD supports devices on the DALI bus with different features for each device.   These features are available after a DALI Master ( see the Admin page) has assigned addresses to DALI devices.

DALI devices are for example:

  • ATX LED AL-WS-DR2 wall switch and LED Driver 
  • ATX LED AL-WS-DALI-8B multi switch
  • ATX LED AL-WS-010v DALI wall switch

  • Sunricher SR-2303AC Triac driver for 120vac systems
  • Sunricher SRP-2309-75CCT driver for tunable white up to 75 watts
  • Meanwell DALI LED drivers like the ELG-100-24DA
  

Generic DALI Device management

  • Device Name for the installer
     
  • 'Public' Name for use with Hue/ Alexa/ Google/ Siri
     Visible Checkbox ( used to hide rarely used items to reduce list size)
     
  • Group assignments ( see DALI instructions )

  • Wattage of the load for ZWD power calculations
     
  • FADE rate controls  ( duration and granularity )
     
  • Minimum DIM level - if the output is not off, this sets the 
    bottom of the dimming range  ( 1 is low, 254 is full bright )
     
  • Maximum DIM level, limit max level  ( 254 is full bright )
     
  • Power On level, brightness after power outage
     
  • Fail Level if the DALI bus has lost power

  • Current Color temperature

  • endpoint mapping of Color temperature and the DALI value for that color.
     
  • Also shown is the
    - DALI bus channel for multi bus systems ( 1 thru 4 )
    - Short Address of this device
    - UPC and ID if reported if found
    - Firmware and Hardware version shown if readable
    - Factory set minimum dimming level

AL-WS-DR2 Additional Features
  
  • Not all advanced features are supported in early DR2 firmware versions
     - only supported features are shown

  • Fade UP time - # seconds to ON  
  • Fade Down time - # seconds to OFF
     
  • Power ON level - either preset or simple return to the setting before power failed ( 254 is max).  

    Last means to set the light to the On/Off/Dim level prior to the power outage.

  • Fail level - brightness if DALI bus is disconnected - 255 means no change 
  • Driver mode.   There are these driver modes:
    • Autodetect
    • Split Left + Right ( typically used with Split N-Way)
    • ALL CCT
    • ALL Fixed
    • Fan + Light
    • Special PIR - Right output is powered all the time, an attached PIR device can be dimmed and controlled.   Changes in the PIR are detected and reported
    • Fan + 12v DC
    • CCT not found - CCT requested but not detected
     
  • 2nd Split Address  ( Only useful if Split mode ) - this is the address that the Right output will have if N-Way mode is set to split
     
  • Slider Position - rightside up = bright, or leftside up = bright
     
  • Voltage ( Constant Voltage mode for Strip lights )

AL-WS-DR2 N-Way features
     
  • N-Way setting is at the bottom of the same page
     -
    • Three-Way - treats an external AL-WS-M as a 3-way switch
    • Split - treats an external AL-WS-M a 2nd short address
    • Fan Mode ( N-Way input controls the Fan)
    • Night Mode ( future )
    • PIR Mode  ( future )
    • Vacancy ( future )
    • Auto Off mode - enables a timer to turn the light off after a delay
    •  
DR2-nw
AL-WS-DR2 2nd Address features
  • Split - treats an external AL-WS-M like a single button keypad

  • Program that switch for the action you want

    Value = is the current setting ( 255 is disabled )
    Address to send is the destination

  • See DALI standards for Address,Group, Scene, Broadcast

  • Trigger is an event that can be triggered by each button press

  • Toggle is an event that can be triggered alternately On/Off by successive presses

  • Undo is unique to ATX LED - if you enable Undo, then a Scene command is given, but if you hit that button again within 5 seconds, the lights will revert to the level before you hit scene - undo.

AL-WS-DR2 Fan features

  • Fan Speed - 254 is max

  • Fan Idle Speed - it can still turn when "off" - 0 disables this

  • Delay between Light on and Fan on automatically

  • Delay time to auto turn the fan off
Note:  the AL-WS-M will turn the fan on/off as follows:

  • Short press - on for 10 minutes (default - set by run time)
  • Short press while on - add-on 5 minutes
  • Long press - turns the fan off
Note: FW 66-69 do not support fan only timeout - if there is just a fan, and no light, need to create a macro to turn the fan off automatically

AL-WS-DR2 Tunable White features

     
  • Color Temperature - slider to adjust the color temperature now

     
  • Temp / DALI Range - this changes the logical temperature associated with a DALI CCT value,  we default to 353 representing max Right current and 0 representing max Left current  Our default Right output has 2700K strings and the default Left output has 5000K strings.   Both can be edited.
       
  • Driver Mode must be ALL CCT for these controls to be active.   This is DT8

  • Voltage ( see DR2 general section above)

  • Dim to Warm percentage - when the fixture is dimmed to this level ( default 1.5%) or 10 mA, the light will shift to warm
     
  • Color (raw) defines the physical connection of the strings to the two output drives.   In the event that the colors are discovered to be reversed on installation - this tab allows the colors to be reversed.

AL-WS-DR2 Advanced LED features


The AL-WS-DR2 detects the topology of the attached LED fixtures. Each LED chip is 3 volts, multiple chips are arranged in series per fixture, and multiple fixtures are arranged in series on a DR2.

This section shows the topology in terms of "height" of the LED chip stack. 

For example:  a P023R6-660mA has a height of 3, a ceiling with 5 fixtures in series would then have a height of 15.  Should the DR2 calculate the wrong height - it can be corrected here.

A P023R6-48v or E26-48v has a height of 14, 16, 17 or 18.  Do not adjust this for "48v" or "51v" devices!    

Also - if there is any doubt about the operation of the DR2 - the "Reset rung count" button ( without changing the height values) will force a recalibration. Try that before changing any height values.

AL-WS-8B Common Features ( for all buttons)

  • The AL-WS-8B is called a keypad or multi switch

  • On DALI Devices you set the brightness of the status LEDs, the ontime of the status LEDs, and the name of the multi switch.

  • Normally it should be hidden from Hue

  • The "Fade UP" is the number of seconds that the blue status light stays on after a button is pressed.   if "90" is selected - the light will stay on all the time

  • The max level slider controls the brightness

  • Other controls have no effect
