ezDALI Group & Scene Controller

Installation and Operation

The DLCSS4-x Group & Scene Controller is one

component in an ezDALI System. It provides a

simple tool for grouping the DALI ballasts in a

room or zone and manually turning on, off or

dimming each group to create a preferred scene

or preset. It also provides the means to memorize

the preferred lighting scenes. Automatic OFF, in

compliance with energy codes, can be achieved

through an occupancy sensor input to the system.

The DLCSS4-x controls up to 4 ballast groups and 4

lighting scenes. The x sufﬁx in the catalog number

refers to button and switchplate color:

2 = ivory, 4 = almond, 7 = white and 9 = grey.

A complete ezDALI system includes the following:

1. Group Controller (DLC) or Group & Scene

Controller (DLCSS)

2. Power Supply (DPS series)

3. Lighting fixtures equipped with DALI ballasts

Optional components in the system are:

4. Remote Scene Switch (DSS4) for use with

Group & Scene Controller (DLCSS)

5. Relay Module (DRM) to control non-DALI fixtures

6. Occupancy Sensor(s)

Features

• Dimming plus ON/OFF control of up to four lighting

groups

• Logarithmic dimming curves: 1% dimming for linear

fluorescents, 3% for compacts

• Easily create and modify lighting scenes without

rewiring and without the use of a PC or special tools

• Occupancy sensor for automatic OFF

• No complex commissioning

• 2-conductor, Class 2 communications, FCC

approved for commercial/industrial applications

• Impact-resistant Lexan

construction with screwless

wallplate and removable button covers for labeling

Operation

The Group & Scene Controller is the source of all

commands to the ballasts. Each of the DALI ballasts

in the room is assigned to one of the four Group

buttons. That group can then be raised or lowered by

pressing and holding the Group button. This allows the

user to created a preferred operating scene for each

lighting group. For the Controller to memorize the

scene, the user simply presses and holds one of the

four Scene buttons, similar to memorizing a station on

a car radio. The Master button will toggle between the

last scene and OFF for normal daily operation.

The Group & Scene Controller also provides enhanced

occupancy sensor operation. When the Controller

receives a message that the room is occupied, the

lighting will turn on to the last scene selected by the

user. When the room becomes unoccupied, the

Controller lowers the lighting for 5 minutes, and then

turns it off. If the occupancy sensor detects motion

during this 5-minute warning, the Controller returns

the lights to the last scene activated by the user.

Before starting, read the instructions on the next

four pages. If you have any questions, call our

Service Team at: 888-852-2778.

WARNING

Use only rapid-start sockets. Instant-start

sockets shall not be used. Instant-start sockets

short out the pins of the lamps, so the ballast

cannot provide supplemental heat to the

filaments.

follows:

1. First, the Controller sends an OFF

message to all ballasts.

2. Then, one by one, each ballast will

turn its associated lights on, as the

Controller assigns its short address

(0-63). When complete, all of the

ballasts in the room will be ON at their

maximum level.

Create Groups

For the purpose of these instructions we

are using the office lighting plan shown

in Figure 2. There are four linear fluores-

cent fixtures and seven wall wash fixtures

Install Wall Box and Run

Class 2 Wiring

Install a two-gang wall box at the desired

location. Run Class 2 wiring between the

wall box and the DPS Power Supply as

shown in Figure 1. We recommend

in the room. Ballasts are numbered as

shown (numbers are for reference only).

Ballasts will be grouped as follows:

Ballasts #1 and 10 will be in Group A

(General Lighting West), ballasts #6 and

9 in Group B (General Lighting East),

ballasts #2, 3, 5 and 7 in Group C

(Whiteboard Lighting), and ballasts #0, 4

and 8 will be in Group D (Art Lighting).

1 Begin by pressing and releasing the

SELECT button. Ballast #0 will turn on

at maximum. All others will turn off.

Press the Group D (Art Lighting)

button to assign that ballast to that

lighting group. The Group D LED will

begin flashing. To remove the ballast

from that group, press the Group D

button again, or simply press the

desired Group button. A ballast may

be assigned to only one group.

2 Press and release the SELECT button

again and ballast #1 will turn on.

Assign it to Group A (General Lighting

West) by pressing that Group button.

Repeat for each remaining ballast.

3 After assigning all ballasts to groups,

press the STORE button to save. All

Group LEDs will turn on steady and all

lights will turn on at maximum.

Test the System

Press and release each Group button

several times. The Group LED and all of

the ballasts in that lighting group will

toggle ON/OFF. Press and hold any

Group button and the lighting group will

ramp up. Press and hold again, and the

group will ramp down.

Setting Maximum Levels

The MAX button sets maximum light

levels for each group. This function is

useful for setting light levels appropriate

for the work space or function, as well as

for energy conservation.

1 Begin by pressing and releasing the

MAX button. All lighting will go to 100%

and the MAX and Group LEDs will

begin flashing.

2 Adjust the lighting level of each group

by pressing and holding the Group

button (similar to creating a scene).

3 When the desired maximum light level

for each group has been reached,

press the MAX button again. The MAX

LED will go off, the Group LEDs will

turn on steady and all lights will turn

on at the new maximum levels.

Note: To clear the maximum settings,

press the MAX button twice.

Troubleshooting

None of the fixtures respond to the

Controller.

• If the fixtures do not turn on when

power is first applied, check the lamps.

Then check for power to the fixtures.

• Confirm that ballast wiring to lamp

sockets conforms to the wiring diagram

on the ballast. Check that the lamp

socket pins are not shorted (Remove

the lamps and disconnect the socket

wires. Measure the resistance across

the contacts.)

• If the fixtures turn on when power is

cycled, but do not respond to the

Controller, first check for power to the

Controller by observing the Locator

light on the bottom bezel. If it is lit, the

Controller is receiving power.

• Check the voltage output of the Power

Supply. First, disconnect the data bus

at the Power Supply and measure the

DC voltage of the Power Supply output

to the data bus. It should be 14-16

VDC. Repeat with the bus plugged in.

The voltage should not change. If it

does, isolate the open or short.

Create Scenes

1 Adjust the lighting levels of each group

by pressing and holding the Group

button to ramp the lighting up or down.

Releasing the button stops the ramping.

Pressing and holding again reverses

the direction. A group may be turned

ON or OFF by pressing and immedi-

ately releasing the Group button. Each

Group LED will indicate the ON/OFF

status of that group.

2 When the desired light level for each

group has been reached, press and

hold the Scene button. The Scene

LED will turn on indicating the scene

has been memorized. Scene 1 in the

example shown in Figure 4 is set for

audio/visual presentations.

3 Repeat for additional scenes.

Labeling the Buttons

The individual Group and Scene buttons

provide space for

⁄8

x 1

⁄16

directory

labels. The labels can be attached by

removing the clear lens, positioning the

label and replacing the lens as shown

below on a DLC4-x Group Controller.

If desired, the buttons may be completely

removed from the base and labeled

separately. This method allows better

alignment of the labels. To remove a

button from the base, simply pry it off the

retainer. Replace the button by snapping

it back into the retainer.

Turn off power and isolate the short.

• If the LED is flashing GREEN, the DALI

bus to the fixtures is shorted. Turn off

power and isolate the short.

One fixture is not responding.

• Check for an open circuit between the

ballast and the DALI bus.

• Check that the ballast has been

programmed into the desired group:

- Remove the wall plate and open the

Master button.

- Press SELECT. Ballast #0 will turn

on at 100% and the LED for the

group to which it was assigned will

begin flashing.

- Continue to press SELECT until you
