DALI Registered
Clevertronics manufactures a range DALI version 1 registered emergency and exit luminaires and is transitioning to DALI-2.
DALI, the open protocol supported by all the major lighting manufacturers, enables digital dimming, individual luminaire control, lamp and ECG (electronic control gear ) status feedback and emergency test and monitoring – all over a robust and simple wiring solution.
What is DALI?
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface or more widely known as DALI is an open data and communication protocol that is defined under the IEC 62386 international standard. Part 202 of the standard specifies a protocol and test procedures for the control by digital signals of electronic control gear for use on a.c. or d.c. supplies, associated with self-contained emergency lighting.
Clevertronics DALI luminaires are all fully compliant with IEC 62386-202 and are registered on the DIIA DALI version 1 product database.
DALI Integration
By integrating emergency luminaires with the DALI lighting control system the same wiring and networking infrastructure can be utilised to monitor and test the emergency and exit luminaires. The DALI standard enables dimmable ballasts, emergency fittings and controllers from various manufacturers to be used in a single control system providing a flexible digital lighting system for designers, installers, facility managers and end-users. The DALI lighting control system and the software module for the emergency lighting is supplied by the lighting control system provider. Commissioning and addressing of the luminaires including the emergency lighting is also carried out by the lighting control system provider or systems integrator.
DiiA
DiiA stands for Digital Illumination Interface Alliance. The DiiA is responsible for DALI trademark and develops testing sequences for DALI products to have them registered or certified. Clevertronics is a member of the DiiA.
Clevertronics and DALI
Each DALI emergency and exit luminaire incorporates a DALI plugin node module making the replacement of fittings simple without the need to re-address the new fitting. All Clevertronics DALI emergency and exit luminaires can be supplied with industry standard leads and connectors making installation to structured cabling quick and simple.
Transition from DALI Version 1 to DALI-2
Clevertronics is on a pathway to DALI- 2 Certification and is updating DALI version 1 products for DALI-2 certification. The current test sequences issued by the DiiA have some errors that are being corrected by the DiiA and once these have been resolved we will continue with the certification program for release later in 2022. During the transition period, the Clevertronics DALI version 1 registered devices can be installed on a DALI-2 network.
