Warning: High voltage: Contacting or touching the electrical wires (230V AC)
may cause electrical shock and injury. Before installing the device, test that
DALI bus is correctly wired and isolated from 230V AC.
Only trained experts are authorised to install and commission the device.
Country-specific regulations must be adhered to.
The device may only be operated in dry, closed rooms and must not be used
directly or indirectly for health or life-saving purposes or for purposes where a
device failure could lead to danger for people, animals or material property.
The device is to be mounted such that it is protected from access by
unauthorized persons as well as from dust and debris entering the venitilation
slots.
The device produces heat. The device must be installed in a way such that
there is sufficient air circulation to dissipate the heat to the environment and
keep the device from overheating.
Installation
The device already contains a power supply for the DALI bus. It must not be
combined with DALI control devices having their own bus power supply,
otherwise, the device will get damaged and may need to be replaced. Before
connecting the device, please check that there is no voltage on the DALI
bus!
1. Mount the device at a suitable location.
2. Connect the device to the same local network where the digitalSTROM server
is also connected to. The device receives the IP configuration via DHCP. To
install firmware updates, the local network must also provide access to the
internet - for normal operation of the device however internet access is not
required.
3. Connect the DALI Bus (test isolation from 230V AC beforehand!) to the
device using the green screw terminal included.
4. Connect power (5V USB DC power supply included, or via ethernet cable with
separately sold Passive-PoE kit P44-DSB-PPoE).
5. The indicator LED lights up in yellow when power is applied.
6. As soon as the device is fully ready for operation, the LED turns green, with
only occasional short yellow flashes indicating activity.
Power must never by supplied by PPoE and USB at the same time - power
supply and P44-DSB device might get damaged when doing so.
Connection to the digitalSTROM System
The connection to the digitalSTROM-System is automatic. The digitalSTROM server
(Version 1.9 or newer) and the P44-DSB-D only need to be connected to the same
local IP network.
Preferably, use a regular Ethernet switch to connect dSS and P44-DSB-D, but
not just the ports of internet service provider's routers, as unfortunately, those
often block part of the network traffic (IP multicast) causing dSS connection to
fail.
Using the web interface, a network expert may set static IP/gateway/DNS
configuration when required.
User interface
As soon as the device has been recognized by the
digitalSTROM system, the digitalSTROM web
configurator (“Advanced View”, “Hardware” tab,
List of “Meters”) will show an entry per device class
(DALI, hue). Via the context menu the web interface
of the P44-DSB-D can be opened in a new browser
window/tab.
In addition, the P44-DSB-D web interface can be
reached directly from the “Bonjour” bookbark menu
in Bonjour enabled web browsers (Safari).
The web interface is proteced from
unauthorized access by a login. The user
name is “vdcadmin”, and the default password
is also “vdcadmin”. It is strongly
recommended to change the password (on
the “System” tab in the P44-DSB-D web interface).
Updating the Firmware
To make sure the device has up-to-date firmware, it is recommended to perform a
firmware upgrade as a first step:
1. Device needs to be powered and ready for use, and needs to have access to
the internet via local network with DHCP.
2. In the web interface in the "System" tab, click the "Check for new Firmware
Version…" button.
3. If new firmware is available, it will be downloaded and installed. This takes
approximately 5 minutes, possibly longer with very slow internet connection.
4. During the entire firmware upgrade process, the LED is flashing red/yellow.
Firmware update can also be triggered without web interface by using the
device button (small hole to the right of the status LED, use ball-pen to
carefully operate it): press and hold button for about 6 sec. until the LED turns
red, then release.
Do not disconnect power during firmware update! Otherwise, the system
software might get damaged and the device needs to be replaced. Interrupts in
the internet connection however are not critical but may just abort the update
process and require that the update is started again.
Adding or removing DALI devices
For stable operation, 100% DALI conformant ballast devices are
recommended, as these do have a unique serial number. Unfortunately,
there are devices even from well-known companies which do not have a
unique serial number, and thus are susceptible to be shown swapped with
other devices after changes in the DALI bus.
The P44-DSB-D detects and configures DALI ballast devices (fluorescent tube
drivers, LED dimmers) automatically at startup. If the DALI ballast devices have
been configured already by another DALI control device, existing DALI short
addresses will be re-used. For brand new DALI devices without short address or in
case of numbering conflicts, the P44-DSB-D automatically assigns short addresses.
If the P44-DSB-D needs to reconfigure short addresses due to conflicts, the
dSUIDs of the DALI devices might change. Therefore, after adding new
devices, in particular not brand new ones, please re-check identification of
lights in the digitalSTROM Configurator.
DALI devices should not be added or removed from the bus in operation.
Please disconnect power from the P44-DSB-D and all DALI devices before
making changes to the bus.
Use the “DALI bus diagnostics...” feature (“i”-button in the DALI header row of
the device list) to diagnose DALI bus problems.
DALI Groups and RGB(W)-Lights
The P44-DSB-D can combine DALI dimmers as a group (multiple synchronized
lights) or a multi-channel RGB(W) color light into the digitalSTROM-System.
1. Open the web interface, “Devices” tab
2. In the list of devices, on the “DALI vdc” row, press the “+Group” button.
3. In the dialog, select the type of group (color light or dimmer group) and the
DALI dimmers to be included
4. Press “Create … device” button.
5. In the list of devices, a single (color) light device replaces the separate
dimmers, the same happens in the digitalSTROM Konfigurator.
The combined device can be separated into individual dimmers later: press the “i”
button, then press “Ungroup” button in the dialog.
Adding a hue bridge
1. In the webinterface, in the "Devices" tab, press the "Device Learn in/out…"
button.
2. Within 20 seconds, press the center button of the hue bridge.
3. A confirmation alert appears when the hue bridge has been learned in or out.
If no acknowledgement or a timeout message appears, then there is no
network connection to the hue bridge. The hue bridge should be connected
via a non-managed switch together with the P44-DSB-D (and the dSS).
Managed switches or routers may suppress IPv4 multicast, which is
necessary to establish a connection.
