Note
More information can be found in the masterCONFIGURATOR software user manual installed with the
software. The user manual can also be downloaded from the Tridonic website.
3.1 Application area
The DALI XC is a device with four inputs for controlling lighting with single momentary-action switches, double
momentary-action switches and standard switches, which can be combined in some operating modes. The DALI XC
is supplied by the DALI control line. For this reason, a device that provides the voltage supply is required for use in a
lighting system (e.g. DALI PS2).
3.2 Operating modes
The Mode rotary selector switch is used to set the operating mode. Every letter A–G on the Mode rotary selector
switch stands for an operating mode specified on the device. If the rotary selector switch is not turned to a marked
position, the DALI XC will not function.
"MC" operating mode
Rotary selector switch position A
Single momentary-action switches and/or double momentary-action switches and/or standard switches can be used
to recall programmed functions. The MC operating mode can only be configured using the masterCONFIGURATOR
software versions 2.10 and higher. The device does not function in MC operating mode by default.
A DALI XC device in MC operating mode can replace the DALI MC (art. No 86458507).
"SC-A" operating mode
Rotary selector switch position B
Single momentary-action switches can be used to recall scenes. No scenes can be saved in this operating mode.
A DALI XC device in SC-A operating mode can replace the DALI SC-A (art. No 24138906).

Device description
"SC" operating mode
Rotary selector switch position C
Single momentary-action switches can be used to recall and save scenes.
A DALI XC device in SC operating mode can replace the DALI SC (art. No 24034263).
"GC-A" operating mode
Rotary selector switch position D
Single momentary-action switches and/or double momentary-action switches can be used to switch luminaire groups
on/off and brighten or dim them. Programming mode cannot be enabled in the operating mode. If the lighting system
is switched to programming mode using another DALI XC device, the momentary-action switches connected to the
DALI XC in GC-A operating mode can be used to group luminaires.
A DALI XC device in GC-A operating mode can replace the DALI GC-A (art. No 24138907).
"GC" operating mode
Rotary selector switch position E
Single momentary-action switches and/or double momentary-action switches can be used to switch luminaire groups
on/off and brighten or dim them. A system extension is typically started in this operating mode. If the lighting system is
in programming mode, the momentary-action switches connected to the DALI XC in GC operating mode can be used
to group luminaires.
A DALI XC device in GC operating mode can replace the DALI GC (art. No 24033450).
"Prog" operating mode
Rotary selector switch position F
Commissioning or a system extension can be started and completed in this operating mode. The lighting system is in
programming mode while these processes are ongoing.
"TuWh" operating mode
Rotary selector switch position G
Double momentary-action switches can be used to set the intensity and colour temperature of Tunable White
luminaires.
3.3 Acoustic signals
Some actions on the DALI XC elicit a different number of high beeps. During configuration, beeping indicates that
some steps have been reached.
The DALI XC beeps three times when the voltage supply has been established.
In programming mode, the DALI XC beeps once each time a momentary-action switch is pressed.
The DALI XC beeps once, twice or three times after various configuration steps.
The DALI XC beeps once after approx. 1 s when one of the rotary selector switches is turned to a new position.

Note
The maximum number of DALI XC devices that can be used in a lighting system depends on the total
power consumption of the devices connected to the DALI control line. The power consumption of the
individual devices can be found in the associated data sheets.

The following conditions apply for the project design of a lighting system with DALI XC:
No more than 64 DALI-compatible control gear elements can be used.
No more than 16 groups can be configured.
A luminaire can be assigned to max. 16 groups.
No more than 16 scenes can be configured.
Assigning groups to inputs (DALI XC in "GC-A" or "GC" operating mode)
Project design
Rotary selector switch position D or E
The Config rotary selector switch is used to assign different groups to input T1 and T2 and input T3 and T4.
The following table uses the rotary selector switch position to indicate which group is assigned to the inputs.
