DIMLITE pro commissioning

Features
Read full description

The DIMLITE pro commissioning app has been specially developed to help make commissioning the DIMLITE pro lighting control system intuitive. The DALI-2-based, scalable lighting control system for small to medium areas of application encompasses a wide range of functions – from simple switching on and off and dimming/brightening to daylight linking – even with Tunable White lighting – and individual lighting scenarios. Each system supports up to 64 DALI 1 or DALI 2-based LED drivers and 16 input devices such as sensors or momentary-action switches. A single DALI LED driver or control device can therefore belong to several groups and thus various scenes. The app is so intuitive to use, commissioning can be completed in just four simple steps. A particularly practical feature is Bluetooth, which enables unlimited use of the app even in offline mode. Step 1: Create In the first step, the new project is created. The basis for this can be either a new floor plan or a cloned layout. Luminaires are grouped and planned with corresponding light scenes. Step 2: Connect and identify Once the DIMLITE pro commissioning app is connected to the DIMLITE pro application controller, the system components (e.g. LED drivers, sensors or switches) in the app are automatically addressed. Easy device identification with the single touch of the device icon or single press of the switch push button. Step 3: Plan Using drag and drop, system components such as luminaires, sensors and momentary-action switches can now be placed in the floor plan and assigned to the various groups. Step 4: Configure The desired functions can then be defined and assigned. Finally, the project can be PIN-protected. Completed projects and templates can be shared or copied and pasted to other projects. An over-the-air update ensures that the software is always up to date.
