Legrand ezDALI Remote Scene Switch is a user-friendly device that allows for the control of up to 64 ballasts or relay modules on a 2-wire DALI bus. It features four scene control buttons with LED status indication and removable lenses for ID labeling. With its backlit locator, it ensures visibility in darkened rooms. The switch also has a Master button that provides an OFF/Restore function for added convenience. It's designed to work with the Group & Scene Controller and is suitable for various applications like conference rooms, offices, and reception areas.

ezDALI Remote Scene Switch

Installation and Operation

The DSS4-x Remote Scene Switch is a component

of an ezDALI System. It allows occupants to recall

any one of up to four lighting scenes for a group

of lighting fixtures. It connects directly to the 2-

wire DALI bus to provide multiple-location switch-

ing of the four scenes created by the Group &

Scene Controller (DLCSS4-x).

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)

Operation

The Group & Scene Controller allows the user to

create four lighting scenes. For example, the lighting

levels of the fixture groups within a conference room

could be adjusted to create a lighting environment

suited to “PowerPoint Presentation,” “Meeting” or

“Reception.” Pressing a Scene button initiates a

command over the DALI bus to fade to that scene.

The ballast groupings and scenes are programmed

into the ballasts by the Group & Scene Controller

using push-button programming. The Remote Scene

Switch enables these scenes to be recalled and

monitored from multiple locations, providing 3-way

operation and true status indication.

The large Master button on the switch provides an

OFF/Restore function. Once the occupant has

selected the desired scene, pressing and releasing

the Master button will turn off the scene. Pressing and

releasing it again will restore the scene.

Before proceeding, read the instructions on the

following pages. If you have any questions, call

our Service Team at: 888-852-2778.

DSS4-x ezDALI Remote Scene Switch — Installation and Setup

Run 2-Wire DALI Bus to

Switch Box

Install a single-gang switch box at the

desired location. From any convenient

junction box which contains the DALI bus

for that area, run an 18/2 (minimum size)

cable rated at 600 VAC from the junction

box to the switch box. This wiring should

be run in conduit or flex. Do not use

shielded cable. The data bus is not

polarity sensitive; simply connect the

switch leg wires to the data bus. (See

Figure 1 below)

Wire and Install the

Remote Scene Switch

Remove the screwless cover plate from

the Remote Scene Switch by pressing

the black tab at the bottom edge of the

plate and lifting the plate up and off as

shown in Figure 2.

Connect the data bus to the two pigtails

on the back of the Remote Scene Switch

using the wire nuts provided (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 – Typical Wiring

NOT TO SCALE. FOR ILLUSTATION PURPOSES ONLY.

Warning

The DSS4-x is a low-voltage (16 VDC

max.) control device for connection

to DALI equipment only.

DO NOT CONNECT TO LINE VOLTAGE

branch circuits. Wire as a Class 1

limited energy control device as

specified by the National Electric

Code, the same as if you were wiring

a standard wall switch on a branch

circuit.

Minimum requirements:

• 18/2 AWG copper stranded or solid

• 600 VAC insulation 105° C

• Flex, MC Cable or conduit

(DO NOT RUN DALI CONTROL

WIRES UNPROTECTED)

Failure to heed this warning may

result in unsafe or hazardous condi-

tions and damage or destruction to

improperly connected devices, and

will void any warranty claims.

DSS4-x ezDALI Remote Scene Switch — Installation and Setup

Mount the switch in the box with the

screws provided, but do not replace the

cover plate at this time.

Test Switch Operation

1 Press the first Scene button on the

Scene Switch. The LED should light

for that button on both the Controller

and the Remote Scene Switch (Figure

3), and the lighting should go to Scene 1.

2 Repeat for the remaining three Scene

buttons.

Label the Buttons

The individual Scene buttons provide a

⁄8

x 1

⁄16

space for standard 9 mm

directory labels. Several standard label

makers are available which make the

correct size labels, one of which is

shown below right. The labels can be

attached by simply removing the clear

lens, positioning the label and replacing

the lens as shown in the photo to the

right.

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.

Replace the Cover Plate

To replace the cover plate, place the

hang bar at the top of the plate onto the

hang hook at the top of the switch base

and snap the bottom in place until it

clicks as shown in the photo far right.

This completes the installation and

testing of the Scene Switch.
