DDBC300-DALI

DALI HF Ballast Controller
Installation Manual

features

 Supply – 230V ±14% 50/60Hz Single Phase at 0.1A.
 3 x DALI Outputs – Suitable for DALI HF ballasts & transformers.

 Built-in DALI Bus Power Supply – No external supply required.
 Dry Contact Interface – Can be programmed to perform many

different functions. The factory settings will cause this input to
transmit network identification information.

 Many Control Options – Control of this device can be via a

combination of methods eg. Serial control port, push button
control panels, infrared receivers and timeclocks.

 Simple Installation – DIN Rail mount facilitates installation.

All connection terminals accessible without disassembly.

Special Programming – This device will only operate in basic modes
unless programmed via a computer. If programming is required, contact
your local agent for details. Once the data cable is connected to the
devices, the factory default settings will allow any control panel to control
all channels in all dimmers.

Check Connections – Tighten all load-carrying screw connections, as
vibrations from transport can cause terminal block screws to become
loose.

Power Sources – This device should only be operated from the type of
supply specified on the front cover. This device must be earthed.

Load Control Circuit – A 2 core DALI bus cable is required to be run to
the loads, this cable is in addition to the mains feed.

Load Type – This product is intended to control DALI devices.
Mounting Location – Install in a dry, well-ventilated location. Controllers

may emit some mechanical noise. Take this into account when deciding
the mounting location.

Data Cable – Use screened, stranded RS485 data cable with three
twisted pairs. Segregate from mains cable by 300mm minimum. Connect

devices in a ‘daisy chain’. A data cable connected to an energized

device is live. Do not cut or terminate live data cables.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose this device to rain or moisture. Do
not energise unless the front cover is in place.
The device must be earthed. Installation,
programming and maintenance must be carried
out by qualified personnel.

installation steps

1. Mount the device on a DIN rail inside an approved enclosure.

2. Connect mains cables: Connect a 0.1A single phase supply to the Supply terminals, this will operate the product’s
electronics. This device must be earthed.

3. Connect the DALI bus cables: Use a mains rated 2 core cable to connect the DALI bus to the DALI ports on all DALI
devices. The DALI bus cable should not be longer than 300 Metres, and should have a minimum cross section area
based on cable length as follows:

- Up to 100 Metres: 0.5mm2

- 100 to 150 Metres: 0.75mm2

- 150 to 300 Metres: 1.5mm2
The DALI bus is not SELV and must be treated as a mains cable. It is not polarity conscious. A maximum of 64 DALI
devices can be wired to each DALI port.

4. Connect data cables to the device as per diagrams below. Segregate data cables from mains cables.

5. 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 AUX terminals and the dry contacts under two metres. The function of the Auxiliary input will need
to be programmed at the time of commissioning.
