Communication
The dimming controller uses DALI or BACnet MS/TP communication protocol on a RS-485 physical link. For advanced settings, you need the BACnet Browser software on BACnet MS/TP.
DALI
The dimming controller is not powered by the DALI signal.
According to the configuration, it appears as a "DALI control gear, Fluorescent lamps (device type 0)" or "control gear, Switching function (device type 7)".
BACnet MS/TP
When the dimming controller is at the end of a RS-485 network, we may enable the terminating resistor by installing a jumper on Term to terminate the network or use an external resistor. Call Cristal Controls to order a CC-BIAS.
For more RS-485 network information, refer to the Cristal Controls Setting up a RS-485 Network guide.
