Product illustration
Specifications
- The dimming performance (dimming curve, dimming depth, smoothness etc.) is subject to the DALI driver design, and this, is expected to vary among different drivers.
- All drawings shown are for illustration purpose only, actual product may vary due to product enhancement.
Installation and Wiring
Preparation
- Set the DIP switches at desired position
- Make sure the loads are compatible (DALI certified control gear) and within the rating
Installation (Licensed Electrician Only)
- Disconnect power supply
- Wire the product as per the wiring diagram on the right***
- Supply power to the circuit
- Make sure the LED indicator is lit, then press the Set button to test the control, single press to turn ON/OFF, long press to change brightness
The relay output (LOAD terminal) is recommended for connecting & disconnecting power to the DALI drivers, for best control performance, even though it’s optional.
Operation
Set button operation
- Single click: Turn ON/OFF the lights.
- Double clicks: Turn the lights to maximum brightness.
- Long press: Increase/decrease the light brightness, release the button to stop.
- 4 clicks: The device enters pairing mode, the LED indicator quickly flashes in blue and white for 30 seconds. This is for pairing the device to a PIXIE secondary device, so the device can be controlled by an extra device, typically a physical button on the wall for convenient control.
- 9 clicks: Reset the PIXIE Smart DALI Broadcast Controller to factory default. The LED indicator flashes in blue and white for 3 seconds then stay at white.
The LED indicators
- The LED indicator is solid white colour when the device is new or factory reset, and is solid blue when the device is added into the App.
- The LED indicator stays at high brightness when the lights (loads) are ON, and is low brightness when the lights are OFF.
The DIP switches
- Memory: When the DIP switch is on, it memorizes the light brightness status when a power outage occurs; when the DIP switch is flicked to off, the lights will always be OFF by default when power restores from an outage.
- Relay: When the DIP switch is on, the in-built relay latches and unlatches corresponding to the operation of turning lights ON/OFF; when the DIP switch is flicked to off, the in-built relay does not respond to the operation of turning lights ON/OFF.
Momentary switch (namely bell press) operation
The operation of momentary switch is the same as the Set Button, providing an additional control option
