Installation of the 86458619-300U

• The DALI PD is suitable for integration in protection class II devices, ensure proper working cable relief for installation.

• The 86458619-300U is an independent control gear and suitable for remote ceiling and integration in luminaires. When used as built-in in protection class II devices
proper working cable relief has to be ensured.

• The DALI PD300 (HS-type) is suitable for DIN rail mounting, protection against shock has to be provided by an appropriate enclosure.

• The wiring should be carried out as a permanent installation in a dry and clean environment.

• Installation may only be carried out in a voltage-free state of the system and by qualified specialists. The system must also be switched off when replacing the luminaire.

• National regulations for setting up electrical systems must be followed.

• Connect power supply terminals L and N to mains voltage according to the labelling.

• Connect terminals L‘ and N or terminal with the light bulb symbol to the load. Ensure that the wiring length to the load does not exceed 50m.

• Only connect luminaires that are in the rated power range of the dimmer and are suitable with respect to the load type. Also consider the power factor of the luminaires (especially for lamps with rated power below 25W).

Attention: the intended use of the 86458619-300U  is dimming of LEDretrofit-luminaires, do not use with halogen lamps or magnetic transformers

• the connection to the DALI-line (DA, DA) is polarity free.

• The DALI PD/ 86458619-300U  is supplied by the DALI-line (current consumption ~6mA).

• The DALI line may be routed together with the mains voltage (in one cable or as single wires in a tube)

• The DALI-line must not be connected to the mains or extra low voltage systems.

• The DALI wiring can be realised with standard low-voltage installation material. No special cables are required.

• Wiring topology of the DALI-line: Line, Tree, Star

Attention: The DALI-signal is not classified as SELV circuit (Safety Extra Low Voltage). Therefore, the installation regulations for low voltage apply

The voltage drop on the DALI line must not exceed 2V at maximum length (300m) and maximum bus load (250mA).

Commissioning the 86458619-300U

• The DALI-PD is ready to use, it is supplied by the DALI-line (current consumption ~6mA)

• The DALI-2 PD can be addressed with the DALI Cockpit PC Software. When using the DALI Cockpit Software, the PC must be connected to the DALI bus via a suitable interface module (DALI-2 USB; DALI USB, DALI-2 WLAN, DALI-2 Display, DALI-2 IoT, DALI 4Net, DALI SCI RS232). The 86458619-25U is automatically recognised by the DALI Cockpit during the addressing process and listed in the device overview.

• Scene values, groups, DALI parameters and device specific settings can be configured in the DALI Cockpit, see section Function below.

86458619-300U Functions

Operating Mode DT4

As an interface between classic dimming technology (phase dimming) and DALI, the 86458619-300U is based on the standard for DALI Control Gears (IEC 62386-102) and Device Type 4 devices (IEC 62386-205). The 86458619-300U interface converts the DALI dim level into a voltage signal. The Universal dimmer (Art.Nr 86458619-xxxU) functions as trailing edge or leading edge dimmer, depending on the load.

The operation mode (trailing/leading edge) can be queried via DALI (DT4). The dimming curve follows a logarithmic characteristic corresponding to DALI. The phase cut control generates a sinusoidal voltage with leading/trailing edge phase cut. The PHYSICAL MINLEVEL is 3%.

Operating Mode DT7

Up from firmware version 3.5 an additional operating mode is supported. Instead of phase dimming (DT4) the device can act as switch (DT7 capable). Hence the switching characteristic is determined by the comparison of the virtual direct arc power level (VDAP) with 4 thresholds.

The virtual dim level (VDAP) is like the dim level of DALI-ballasts and is therefore limited by MINLEVEL and MAXLEVEL and influenced by fade-time and fade-rate.

For each dim direction 2 thresholds can be defined. They are compared with the virtual dim level and as a result the output is switched on or off:

If a threshold value is set to “MASK” the threshold is inactive and does not influence the relay output.

Some examples of switching characteristics are shown in Figure 1 below.

With the help of the fade time switch on and switch off delays can be realised.

General Settings

The Configuration can be done easily with the help of the DALI Cockpit. See also Figure 2.

Since the device is bus powered the configurable SYSTEM FAILURE LEVEL is only partially supported.

For devices with firmware >4.0 the system failure level can be choose between 0%, 100% and “No change (MASK)”.

For previous versions the system failure level is fixed: the DALI PD (25W version) applies 100% at the output, the 86458619-300U (300W version) applies 0% at the output.

Ignore Broadcast Commands

The “Ignore Broadcast” setting can be used to ensure that the phase dimmer does not respond to broadcast commands on the DALI bus (group assignments are not ignored). The setting is possible in the “Lunatone Features” tab and from FW 5.0 in the “Settings” tab.

Adjustable RESET behaviour (FW 5.0)

From FW 5.0. on the response to a DALI reset command is configurable. The following options are available:

• Ignore command: the DALI reset command does not trigger any changes to the device settings

• DALI standard: the selected device settings are reset to the values defined in the DALI standard (see table 1 below – second column: DALI standard values)

• Custom settings: the current device settings can be saved. With a DALI Reset command, the selected parameters (6 check boxes) are then reset to these saved values.

Calibration – light adjustment (FW 5.0)

From FW version 5.0 on, it is possible to calibrate light sources, with the option: Calibration. The MIN level (default: 0.1%) an intermediate value (default: 33%) and the MAX level (default: 100%) can be adjusted and matched between light sources.

To do this, set the desired level with the upper slider. Apply the value and start the fine adjustment by pressing the button next to it. The appropriate fine adjustments can now be made with the calibration slide.

A DALI phase dimmer is an interface device that converts digital DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) commands into traditional AC phase-cut voltage signals to control standard mains-voltage loads like dimmable LED retrofit bulbs, halogen, or incandescent lights.

How It Works

Protocol Translation: It connects directly to the DALI bus line and takes up a short address (typically complying with DALI Device Type 4 for phase dimmers or DT6/DT7 depending on features).

Phase Cutting: It dims standard 230V loads using leading-edge (forward-phase) or trailing-edge (reverse-phase) dimming techniques. Trailing edge is quieter and more common for modern LEDs.

Dual Control: Many models (such as Sunricher or Lunatone units) also feature physical Push-Dim terminals, allowing manual local switching/dimming alongside the digital DALI network control.

Key Features

Load Capacity: Typically ranges from small 25W modules (for single fittings in wall boxes) up to 300W–400W units for larger circuits.

Configurability: Parameters like minimum/maximum brightness levels, fade rates, and DALI groups can be programmed using DALI commissioning software (e.g., Lunatone Cockpit or RAPIX).

Retrofit Compatibility: “The Dali to Phase Interface is used to convert any dali signal to a trailing edge dimmer. This means that you can connect mains 240V pendants, LED GU10s and other 240V lighting that does not have the DALI input.
