3.1. General information
The basicDIM DGC is a digital controller in the comfortDIM product range that can be used to control the control gear of a DALI group
collectively.
The basic DIM DGC provides the basis for an easy-to-use and cost-effective lighting system with motion detection. When the sensor
detects movement it triggers an individually adjusted table motion detection profile in the control unit. As the amount of natural
ambient light changes the illuminance from the artificial lighting system is adjusted. The connected luminaires can be switched on and
off via momentary-action switch or remote control possible.
The DALI IN interface allows integration of the basicDIM DGC module also into a comfortDIM system.
The basicDIM DGC module has 5 preprogrammed profiles which can be selected using the basicDIM DGC Programmer. The profiles
can be adjusted to your application via the master CONFIGURATOR ( V2.12) software (see "Reference list" at the end of this
document).
If the basicDIM DGC module is used in the basic application, the CH2 can be used as control channel for controlling subordinate
basicDIM DGC modules (basic connection), so that the controlling and the subordinate basicDIM DGC modules can be programmed
and allocated to groups using the masterCONFIGURATOR software. Every single basicDIM DGC module can be allocated to only one
group and respond to the presence of up to five groups. For more detailed information please refer to the masterCONFIGURATOR
documentation (see "Reference list" at the end of this document).
3.2. Main applications
The DALI basicDIM DGC is designed for the following principal applications:
Individual offices_
Open-plan offices_
Training/presentation rooms_
Corridors, passage ways and garages
The basicDIM DGC either controls all the units on the DALI circuit or a DALI group. The basicDIM DGC is Multi-master
compatible, i.e. it can be used in conjunction with other DALI controllers in the comfortDIM product range. This allows
the basicDIM DGC to be addressed and grouped in the same way as DALI control gear and makes it easy to configure the
system. The basicDIM DGC is configured in the masterCONFIGURATOR software (V2.02. or later) (see "Reference list" at the
end of this document).

I NOTICE
Installation
basicDIM DGC can be operated without sensor. For this, the motion sensor must be deactivated with the
masterCONFIGURATOR software.
_
DSI/DALI is not SELV. The installation instructions for mains voltage therefore apply._
The maximum cable length between the external switch and basicDIM DGC is 100 m._
The maximum cable length between the sensor and basicDIM DGC is 10 m._
A synchronous operation of DALI and DSI ballasts at the same control gear is not possible._
The output channels (for a cable cross-section of 1,5 m ) must not be exceeded 100 m.
2
_
If CH2 is used as link line, the maximum cable length must not exceed 100 m (at 1.5 mm ).
2
_
Any number of push to make switches may be connected in parallel to the inputs._
Do not connect standard switches to the input._
Please ensure that the detection range of the sensor lies in the lighting area of the controlled luminaires._
Heaters, fans, printers and copiers located in the detection zone may cause incorrect presence detection._
To avoid false readings, the sensor should be installed so there is no direct light from the lamp in the detection zone._
Sensor wires must be routed separately from the lamp wires and mains cables otherwise the lighting control system may
malfunction. If separate routing is not possible (for reasons of space) shielded lamp wires and mains cables must be used.

5.1.3. Mixed installation with DGC and MSensor
½ CAUTION!
Note the following, if you are using a mixed installation with DGCs and MSensors:
If the DGC is moved to group 1 (for example), it will still send its own presence as Broadcast by default.
If there is an MSensor in the same installation (for example in group 2), then group 2 will be triggered by the Broadcast signal sent
from the DGC.
To avoid this behaviour, make sure that the DGC is programmed to send its presence to the group that it is assigned to (in this
example group 1).

5.1.5. Switch
basicDIM DGC has two inputs (T1 and T2) for two external switches. Any number of switches can be connected in parallel to the
inputs (parallel connection of T1 and T2 possible).
Action
Reaction
Short press (<
500 ms)
ON/OFF (a short press activates lighting control, with this the switch like the AUTO key of the BasicDIM remote
control)
Long press (>
500 ms)
Dim up/down
A change in light value deactivates the lighting control temporarily. Lighting control is reactivated if the luminaire
switches on again automatically (when motion is detected) or if it is switched off and on manually.
The function can be edited with the basicDIM DGC Programmer or the masterCONFIGURATOR software (see
"Reference list" at the end of this document).
2 x short press Stores the currently measured light value as new setpoint of the lighting control (luminaire acknowledges by
flashing twice).
Depending on the profile selected, this function can be activated or deactivated. The function can be edited with
the basicDIM DGC Programmer or the masterCONFIGURATOR software (see "Reference list" at the end of this
document).
Different output channels are controlled, depending on the profile selected.
