LiNA Touch – the user / operating APP for the Blu2Light System. With LiNA Touch you can operate any Blu2Light System with your iPhone or iPAD. Please note: to create a LiNA Touch user profile the LiNA Connect is required. BLU2LIGHT FUNCTIONS • Up to 64 DALI devices per Blu2Light DALI controller. • Up to 16 functional groups per Blu2Light DALI controller. • Up to 64 light scenes per Blu2Light DALI controller. • Up to 64 sequences per Blu2Light DALI controller. • Up to 250 events can be configured per Blu2Light DALI controller. • Daylight and motion detection integrated (only devices with sensors). • Super-high performance wireless mesh system. • Colour control and dimming for all common standards already integrated. • Security functions to protect the system. Blu2Light Bluetooth® system AT A GLANCE • Open standard means that the technology is accessible for all market partners for further development and use. • Needs no additional router. • Improved network security ensures optimum protection against illegal access both prior to and during luminaire use (luminaire hijacking). • The 4-step security concept: – I individual user and administrator passwords for the app and cloud services – unique product reference code in the form of a QR code – encrypted mesh connections (128 bit/AES) • Encrypted Bluetooth® wireless technology communication (128 bit/AES). • Immediate compatibility with every Bluetooth® wireless technology module with a Nordic nRF52 chipset (currently based on BT 4.2). Adaptations to other manufacturers are possible. • Self-healing, high-performance mesh network thanks to using all 40 Bluetooth® wireless technology channels for data transfer and distribution. • An event-based operating system that lets you define 250 incoming and outgoing events (switching, dimming, colour, timer, and much more) per Bluetooth® device. • All Blu2Light components can function as a standalone system, can form a Bluetooth® wireless technology mesh network with several hundred devices and be integrated into building management systems via the IoT structure. • The entire system is controlled and commissioned via the LiNA Connect APP (for configuration) and LiNA Touch (for operation).. • When combining Blu2Light components with drivers featuring already integrated Active DALI technology (e.g. VS B2L ready DALI LED driver) no additional power supply is required for the sensor. • Blu2Light devices fitted with a DALI bus can be combined with any DALI driver via the DALI standard. • Integration of EnOcean switches/keys with Bluetooth® wireless technology is possible (PTM 215B). • OTA update of the system possible (Bluetooth® wireless technology mesh and operating system) For more information please visit: www.blu2light.de

Define. Transfer. Analyse. Users of the 4service NFC app can configure and analyse Tridonic LED drivers with NFC interface free of charge. Application The 4service NFC app enables quick and easy configuration and analysis of Tridonic LED drivers. This makes the work of installation engineers, maintenance officers and employees in similar fields significantly easier. Functions The following functions can be configured via the app, provided they are supported by the respective Tridonic product. Set the driver parameters: - LED output current Set the LED output current (in mA) to adjust the brightness - Device operating mode Selection of the device operating mode (DALI, corridorFUNCTION, chronoSTEP, etc.). - DALI addressing Set the DALI short address - corridorFUNCTION Configuration of the corridorFUNCTION (light level, fade times, etc.). - chronoSTEP Configuration of the chronoSTEP profiles EZ easy addressing decoder An addressing tool is available to convert the Bi-colour LED binary identification signal to a DALI address of between 0 to 63. Easily transfer driver parameter settings With the copy function, you can quickly and easily copy a device's settings to identical devices. This saves time when replacing faulty devices and when commissioning several identical luminaires. Transfer configurations from deviceGENERATOR With the app, configuration files that were created with the deviceGENERATOR (ending: *.trgf) can also be transferred on LED drivers. Driver analysis If an LED driver is faulty, the data memory can be readout. This means an initial analysis of the causes is already possible on site. Product information Retrieve further information about Tridonic products, simply scan the NFC tag or the QR code on Tridonic devices. The following prerequisites must be met before you can use the app: - Use of an LED driver with NFC interface from Tridonic. - NFC reader with Bluetooth connection from FEIG ELECTRONIC or Tertium Technologies. Alternatively, the internal NFC reader can also be used on different smartphones. - Active Internet connection for first-time use and for updates. An Internet connection is not absolutely necessary for ongoing operation. To ensure that the app works properly, however, the device-specific data must always be current, i.e. regularly updated. - If any of the driver's functions are protected by the luminaire manufacturer (e.g. by a password), these cannot be changed even with the app. The 4service NFC app is itself is free of charge. But costs might be incurred for the required internet connection.
