The approach to programming a Philips Dynalite system can be broadly categorized as follows:
Cabling
Networking requirements
Here are some important points to understand about cabling requirements:
• The system communicates over screened, stranded RS485 data cable (such as Cat5) and
requires a minimum of three twisted pairs.
• It is recommended that the data cable is connected between devices in a ‘daisy chain’
arrangement. Start at the first device then loop in then out of devices, with a single cable
terminating at the last device.
• If it is necessary to wire the system in a star configuration the system will still operate
normally but diagnosing installation network faults should this be necessary will be more
difficult.
• A 5-way pressure pad terminal strip is provided on devices for each data cable
termination. Some devices also have an RJ12 connector for temporary connection of
portable programming devices.
• DR2P/E panels are available with 2x RJ12 connectors instead of a pressure pad terminal
strip for data connection. These panels use Philips Dynalite flat network cable. Using RJ
connectors speeds up the instillation time and helps to eliminate cabling errors. The flat
cable supports up to 10 panels on one cable run and its maximum cable run for a single
cable is limited to 100m before a network bridge is required.
Note: That any data cable that is connected to an energized device is live. Data cable should
not be cut or terminated while live!
Conductors are shielded for maximum data integrity. The data cable is flexible, as all conductors
are stranded, which also allows for robust termination into pressure plate style terminals used on
most Philips Dynalite equipment.
The extra thick outer jacket is mains rated for use in switchboards, and enhances the robustness
of the cable. The cable is supplied in 305 meter lengths.

DyNet voltages
Below are voltage values for proper operation of a DyNet network:
• Max voltage range for Data+ and Data –: -6.5V - +6.5V (Data+ must be greater)
• Min voltage difference between Data + and Data-: 500mV recommended, 200mV is
absolute minimum
Network architecture
The concept of a centralized controller and the complicated task of ‘binding’ individual slave
devices to the central controller in a DyNet network is completely eliminated. Each individual
device will inherently know what they are and simply listen to and broadcast onto the network.
This means that in most cases, particular devices on the network do not know or care about
other devices. They simply respond to network messages, to which they are inherently sensitive,
and broadcast their own class of messages with no particular destination in mind.
A key principle of the DyNet network is that all of the functions associated with a particular
device are located within that device. For example, all scene preset information is stored within
the actual controllers. This means that if any device should fail, only the functions associated with
that device are lost, other devices on the network are not affected. From a maintenance point of
view, this concept of distributed control (self-contained) units both speeds up fault-finding, and
allows a high level of fault tolerance in large systems.
This ‘Broadcast Network’ operating principle provides the necessary flexibility to ensure that the
system can be easily (and at low cost) altered or added to after installation. It is possible to add
extra equipment at any time without the need to re-configure or rewire the entire system.
The TIA/EIA-485-A specification defines a UL (Unit Load), which declares that an RS-485 driver
must be able to drive 32 ULs. This means that an RS-485 network supports 32 nodes, when each
node bears a unit load on the line. Dynalite products use 1/8 UL drivers, which allow up to 256
devices on a network segment.
Another important variation from the TIA/EIA-485-A specification is the addition of an extra
conductor that carries a DC supply, which is generated by an integral power supply contained
within all mains powered devices and is used to energize those devices that do not connect to
mains power, such as motion detectors and wall switches.
Optical isolation– A fault on a Spur will be localized to that Spur only, the rest of the system
will be unaffected.
Quantity of network devices – A finite number of devices can be connected to a single RS485
data cable. The recommended maximum number of devices is 100. The use of network bridge
gives a maximum of 100 devices per spur, with 128 spurs per trunk gives a total of 12800 devices
per trunk. Adding network isolators on spurs and running multiple trunks removes any realistic
limitation from a single Philips Dynalite network.
Figure 24
Figure 25
The figure below shows an Ethernet trunk connected to DyNet spurs with the DNG100BT
Ethernet interface.
Figure 26
Figure 27
To overcome voltage drop or large numbers of consuming devices a secondary power supply
(DDNP1501) may be added to boost the overall network voltage. The DDNP1501 will deliver
15V at 1.5A.
Generally most Philips Dynalite load controllers generate around 100mA to the DyNet network
and will drive 4 or 5 consuming devices without the need for a secondary power supply.
It is important to note that all Cat5 cable has a maximum current capacity of 2A. It is important
that the network is designed not to exceed this rating.
Devices such as touch screens draw as much as 400-1000mA from the DC supply. In this case it
is recommended that the touch screen be feed directly from a DDNP1501. Furthermore we
would recommend that the connections at this device be limited to only GND, D+ and D- to
avoid exceeding the 2A cable limit. See below figure.

HF Ballast installation
Installation instructions
1. Calculate loads to ensure any channels are not overloaded, then connect loads to the
output channels. The maximum loading of this device is as follows:
2. *DALI broadcast mode: 80 ballasts per channel, do not exceed 500 ballasts in total
4. *DSI Mode: 100 ballasts per channel, do not exceed 1200 ballasts
5. Remember that most 1-10V cabling scenarios are polarity conscious. DALI and DSI cables
are not polarity conscious.
6. Connect a single phase 0.5A feed to the supply terminals. This device must be earthed.
7. Connect data cables to the device as per diagram in instruction manual for the controller.
Note: The correct operation of DALI broadcast mode relies on the ballasts being set to
their factory defaults. If problems are encountered, press the service switch 3 times, this will
reset all ballasts connected and energized to their default settings.
The maximum number of available Areas in a DyNet 2 network is 65536. DyNet 2 is a closed
protocol.
Network addressing
A DyNet network has two different addressing modes:
Physical addressing is used primarily during the testing and commissioning stage to configure
DyNet Devices. It is also used for physical, location specific parameters such as circuit breaker
trip signaling. A Device Type, Box Number and Physical channel number are used to identify each
individual lighting circuit.
Logical addressing is used in the day-to-day operation of the lighting system. Lighting circuits
and control panels are configured to Areas; independent of the physical device they are
connected to. An Area Number and Logical channel number are used to identify single or groups
of Physical Channels.
Areas are used to group related lighting points by the area/room they are in. Consider the
example of a load controller that supplies lighting circuits to 2 rooms, with a control panel in
each room. The controllers lighting circuits and the control panel in Room 1 could be configured
as Area 2, and the controllers lighting circuits and the control panel in Room 2 could be
configured as Area 3.
The end result would be that the control panel configured to Area 2 would only control circuits
designated Area 2. The control panel configured to Area 3 would only control circuits designated
Area 3. This allows the two rooms to operate independently of one another.

• Hit the service switch 4 times to start the test sequence. (wait for the time out or reset
device)
• Check that the number of ballasts does not exceed 64 per universe
• Split the universe and then enumerate.- this will narrow down the search area for the
defective ballast.
• Check for miss wired ballasts – miss wired ballasts will cause a variety of dimming issues
• Check ballasts are wired correctly – make sure that the long and short wires are
connected correctly, to check remove the lamp and short the 2 wires together, this
should cause the universe to alternate between 0% and 100%.

Emergency lighting
There is a common requirement for emergency lighting to be used alongside general lighting
connected to a control system. There are a few ways of achieving this, the most appropriate
method is dependent on the type of emergency lighting fixture and control equipment used.
Following is a description of several different
techniques and their respective deployment methods. Sometimes it will be necessary to combine
two or more techniques to achieve the desired outcome.
Maintained luminaires - This is an exit or emergency luminaire, where the lamps used for
emergency lighting also operate under normal supply. The lamps used in these luminaires are
often fluorescent, with a dimmable ballast and can be controlled in exactly the same manner as a
normal dimmable fluorescent luminaire.
Maintained Luminaires have two line inputs. One is connected to the Normal lighting output of
the load controller. The Maintained input is connected to the load side of the load controller’s
circuit breaker, which supplies power to charge the internal battery and to use as a signal to turn
the lamp on in the event of a power failure. In this example the Maintained Luminaire is also used
for Normal Lighting, it’s ballast is dimmable so ballast control lines are shown. Commonly used
control protocols are DALI, DSI and 1-10V.
Figure 35
Non-maintained luminaires - This is an exit or emergency luminaire, where the lamps used
for emergency lighting only operate when the normal supply fails. The lamps used in these
luminaires are often incandescent such as the small “Spitfire” halogen lamp and the larger, sealed
beam flood lamp units.
Non-Maintained Luminaires are connected to the load side of the load controller’s circuit
breaker, which supplies power to charge the internal battery and to use as a signal to turn the
lamp on in the event of a power failure. This connection method allows full control of the
normal lighting while providing for emergency lighting in the event of a circuit breaker trip or
power supply failure.
Sustained luminaires - This is an exit or emergency luminaire with two or more lamps where
at least one lamp operates in non-maintained mode and is only illuminated when normal supply
fails. The other lamp operates on the normal supply only. This is identical in functionality to
having a Non-Maintained Luminaire and a Normal Luminaire both in the same housing. charge
the internal battery and to use as a signal to turn the lamp on in the event of a power failure. In
this example the normal half of the Sustained Luminaire is used for Normal Lighting, it’s ballast is
dimmable so two ballast control lines are shown, common protocols are DALI, DSI and 1-10V.
Sustained Luminaires have two line inputs. One is connected to the Normal lighting output of
the load controller. The Sustained input is connected to the load side of the load controller’s
circuit breaker, which supplies power to charge the internal battery and to use as a signal to turn
the lamp on in the event of a power failure. In this example the normal half of the Sustained
Luminaire is used for Normal Lighting, it’s ballast is dimmable so two ballast control lines are
shown, common protocols are DALI, DSI and 1-10V.
Figure 37
To assist in the testing process, some models of Dynalite load controllers are optionally available
with Emergency Lighting Outputs (ELx). This controlled output is fed via an NC relay and
provides power to the maintained input of Emergency Luminaires. The ELx outputs from
multiple load controllers can be remotely disconnected for a defined period of time, for example
a test button would switch off all ELx outputs for a particular office floor, maintenance staff
would then perform a ‘walk through’ to identify failed components. This process can be
automated with the addition of extra hardware in the luminaire.
Figure 38
The Standby Generator does not have the power capacity required to operate the site normally.
In this case it is desirable to place the lighting system into a load shedding mode.
To change the operating mode, the lighting system must be made aware that the generator is
online. This is typically carried out via a relay that actuates when the generator is online, (or
sometimes via a relay that actuates when the normal supply fails) providing a dry contact signal to
an input unit on the lighting control network, such as a DDMIDC8 Multifunction Input Interface.

40 AMP
Figure 39
In egress mode The DDMIDC8 locks out all control devices such as wall mounted
Control panels, touch screens, motion detectors etc, and selects a global egress preset, which is
pre-defined to illuminate egress paths and reduce lighting in workspaces to assist in alerting
occupants that something is amiss. When normal power is restored the DDMIDC8 restores
normal control functionality.
Load shed mode The DDMIDC8 instructs all load controllers to use a different set of presets
than the normal ones. Consider the example of a room with two channels of lighting and a
control panel that recalls four presets:
During normal operation, presets 1-4 are recalled from the control panel. In load shed mode the
DDMIDC8 uses a part of the DyNet feature set called ‘Preset Offset’, which instructs the load
controllers to recall presets 5-8. This function can target a single or group of rooms, or more
commonly, the whole site. If it is desirable that no lighting is on at all in particular rooms in load
shed mode, then all load shed presets are set to 0%. This method has the advantage of minimal
impact on the site, as lighting levels in particular rooms are not disturbed if they are already off or
at low levels.
Figure 40
In this scenario the non-essential supply is used to hold a contactor closed, connecting the lamp
to the load controller. When the non-essential supply fails the load controller will be de-
energized as will the contactor, which will connect the lamp to the essential supply.
DMX
End of line resistors
• At 9600 Baud the distortion of the original signal is usually within limits and so EOL
resistors are not recommended on a standard DyNet system.
• Baud rates greater than 9600 Baud must be terminated using a 120Ω resistor across D+
and D-.
• Usually fitted into network connector strip for 1st and last devices.
• For DMX integration – network must be daisy chained with end of line resistors.

• Mounting panels
• Mounting sensors
Hardware controls
Service LED and switch
The Service LED has 3 signaling modes, which are useful for troubleshooting:
• On = Fault.
AUX input
This is a dry contact interface that is active low. The dry contact is connected between the AUX
and GND terminals on the DyNet connector strip. The function of the AUX input is
programmable. Ensure that the cable length between the dry contact and terminal strip is no
longer than 2 meters.
Top set
This adjusts the maximum output that all other control sources can select, i.e. if the Top Set is
fully clockwise, 100% selected by a control source will give 100% output. If it is fully anti-
clockwise, 100% selected by a control source will give 50% output. This control is useful for
extending lamp life and can be operated without any form of network control, effectively turning
the device into a stand-alone power conditioner and lamp protector.
• Load controllers
• Network Bridges.
Wall mounted devices are designed for indoor use only. If installing in an external location, the
device must be housed in a suitable well-ventilated enclosure. Choose a dry location that will be
accessible after the installation is complete.
To ensure the cooling system functions correctly, the load controller should only be mounted
vertically, the right way up.
This air gap is also required to ensure serviceability of the load controller without complete
removal from the mounting surface.
This device may emit some mechanical noise. Take this into account when deciding the mounting
location.
Figure 42 Figure 43
Figure 44
The load controller can be fixed to the wall without opening the cabinet or removing covers.
Make sure no dust or other debris enters the device during installation.
Do not leave the front cover off for any length of time. Excessive dust and dirt can degrade the
cooling of internal components.
The cables can then be routed between the enclosure and the mounting surface, and enter the
enclosure via the cut out provided on the mounting face. The control cables enter at the bottom
of the enclosure. Control cables should never be run in the mains voltage sections of the
enclosure.
Load Cables - Load cables can be terminated on the 4 x 3 way load terminal strips (one for
each channel), a Neutral link and an Earth link located at the centre of the enclosure. It is
important that an individual output circuit is not overloaded. Calculate the intended load, and
ensure that it is below the maximum capacity of an individual channel. To ensure compliance
with interference standards, the load neutral cables must be individually connected to the neutral
link terminals inside the cabinet. Never use a common neutral at a remote location.
Emergency Lighting Connections - Connect the emergency lighting circuit active to the load
side on the circuit breaker for the relevant channel, as indicated by the labels next to the circuit
breakers. Do not remove any cables that may already be terminated at this location.
Energizing the Device - If it is necessary to energies load circuits before any control cables are
connected, it is acceptable to replace the cover and energies the device immediately, as the
default factory programming is to have all channels set to 100% output. This device should be de-
energized before terminating the control and data cables.
All Dynalite load controllers are set to provide full output to the load as the default, irrespective
of having the network connected. When the network is connected, every button panel will
operate every circuit of every device.
Operating environments
This device is designed for indoor use only. If installing in an external location, the
DLE1205 must be housed in a suitable well ventilated enclosure. Choose a dry location that will
be accessible after the installation is complete.
In addition the load controller must not be in a location that exceed the following limits for
temperature and humidity:
• Load controllers
• Time clocks
• Power supplies
• Network gateways
• Calculate loads to ensure any channels are not overloaded, then connect loads to the
output channels.
• Connect data cables to the device as per diagrams in the previous topic.
• If the Auxiliary input is to be used, connect a dry contact device in between the AUX and
GND terminals. Keep cable runs between the device and the dry contacts under two
meters. The function of the Auxiliary input will need to be programmed at the time of
commissioning.

Circuit breakers
Required by each device, consult the product data sheet or instruction manual for details.
Multi controllers
When installing Multi Controllers there are some additional considerations to take into account
regarding the controller modules.
Verify that the Output Cards supplied are suitable for your intended loads. Pay attention to any
Output Card specific documentation that may be packed with Output Cards. When dimming
electronic transformers, ensure that the intended transformer is included in Dynalite’s
Compatible Electronic Transformer List, the latest revision is available at dynalite-online.com
1. Snap the cover off the base unit. Plug each Output Card into the slots provided on the
main circuit board. Replace the base unit’s cover. If using different types of Output Cards,
remember which type is associated with each set of output terminals.
3. Calculate loads to ensure any channels are not overloaded, then connect loads to the
output terminals. The maximum loading of this device is 16A. A de-rating factor may
need to be applied if installed in a smaller sealed switchboard when using Leading or
Trailing edge dimmers, contact your dealer for details.
WARNING : Ballast controller output is referenced to mains neutral and is live. Only mains
rated cables and control ports should be connected.
Ensure that lamp holders are marked with the maximum permissible lamp size that will not
overload a channel. This is to protect the end user from inadvertently overloading a channel by
replacing lamps with higher wattage types.
1. Every time the front cover is removed, ensure that all modules are correctly seated and
locked into sockets before the cover is replaced.
2. Ensure that lamp holders are marked with the maximum permissible lamp size that will
not overload a channel. This is to protect the end user from inadvertently overloading a
channel by replacing lamps with higher wattage types.
3. Connect a single phase 16A feed to the supply terminals, via a 16A circuit breaker or
HRC fuse. This device must be earthed.
5. The Auxiliary input is connected via a dry contact device in between the AUX and GND
terminals. Keep cable runs between the device and the dry contacts under two metres.
The function of the Auxiliary input will need to be programmed at the time of
commissioning.

Both cable vendors offer a range of wiring solutions and accessories for both the upstream supply
and downstream load wiring. The upstream wiring solutions combine both the mains supply and
floor network circuits into one wiring assembly, which can dramatically reduce installation time.
Please refer to respective vendor for guidelines on connector and cable assembly selection.

Network connections
Serial ports are used to interconnect other dimmers, smart control panels, sensors and AV
controllers.
The DBC905 circuit design incorporates multiple layers of isolation to deliver robust fault
tolerance and uncompromising safety. It should be noted that most structured wiring solutions
for upstream supply circuitry which include both network and power (i.e. 5 pole systems) only
provide functional isolation between the data and mains circuits. Where such wiring systems are
used, the floor network must be considered at mains potential not SELV and all floor network
wiring should include the appropriate provision for prevention of access to live parts.
The main floor network port on the DBC905 is isolated for this reason. The isolation will
tolerate a fault which raises the floor network to mains potential.
Note that this does not include mains potential applied across D+ and D- which would of course
result in destruction of circuit components. Isolation is also separately provided to the local
DyNet ports and switch inputs. This ensures that all switch inputs and local network circuits are
SELV and prevents propagation of faults from these circuits across the floor network.
Where an upstream structured wiring solution is used, care should be made when terminating
network spur wiring at floor bridges (area controllers), to again prevent access to parts and
wiring considered potentially live. In this case only DBC905 controllers should be connected to
the floor network as they incorporate the isolated port. Under no circumstances should a
All user interfaces such as sensors and panels should be connected to the local network ports on
the DBC905 which provide SELV isolation from mains and the floor network. Where it is
necessary to connect user interfaces to a floor network of this type, a bridge should be always
used to provide effective isolation.

Instructions
Follow the points below to ensure correct installation:
• To comply with local electrical standards, some products may be required to be installed
into a metal wall box (not supplied).
• Use screened, stranded RS485 data cable with three twisted pairs.
• Connect data cable to devices in a ‘daisy chain’ whenever possible. Start at the first
device, then loop in then out of devices, with a single cable terminating at the last device.
• Physical constraints may dictate that data cable spurs are necessary. In these cases,
Network Bridges may be needed.
• The Data Cable should be segregated from any Mains Cables by a minimum of 300mm. If
the Data Cable has to cross over any Mains Cables, it should do so at a 90° angle.
• A data cable that is connected to an energized dimmer is live. Do not cut or terminate
live data cables.

• Position the sensor where pedestrian traffic is more likely to walk across the detection
“fingers” rather than parallel with them (see Lens pattern diagram).
Note: That the coverage area for our sensors differ from model to model (see Motion
Detector Coverage diagram on the following pages).
• Avoid placing sensor where it may face doorways etc which could cause false triggering.
• Sensor should be located at a distance of at least 7ft from horizontal or vertical air ducts.
Adjacent sensors with ultrasonic detector enabled should be installed with a minimum of
60ft spacing between. Sensor should be placed such that the PE cell’s field of view is
unobstructed, and does not have an artificial light source or natural light directly incident
on it.
• For flush mount drill a 2.5 inch hole in ceiling, noting the ceiling void should be at least 2
inches deep. If surface mounting option is used, use provided mud ring mounting adaptor.
For this option removal of the spring clips from the sensor’s rear housing is required.
• Wire the sensor following the recommendations. See data cable permanent connections.
• Insert the sensor into the ceiling using spring clips or attach it to the mud ring mounting
adaptor provided, and rotate to secure.
• Rotate the sensor in the direction of desired Ultrasonic coverage. If required pull-down
the PIR masking bezel to stop the PIR sensing in unwanted areas (e.g. movement past
doorways).

It is possible to reduce the field of view of the DUS804C and DUS804C-SM from their normal
3600 by use of the in-built rotating pull out shield.
The shield blocks 1200 of the field of view, reducing the motion detection field area to 2400.
The shield can also be rotated to block any 1200 area once the sensor has been installed.
By suing the mask installation errors like in figure 55 can be corrected without the need to re-
mount the sensor.
• Position the sensor so it “sees” a combination of artificial light and natural light.
Figure 78
• Position the sensor so it is within 6 meters of the intended operating position of the
infrared transmitter
• Position the sensor so it is not directly exposed to light, especially incandescent and
sunlight, both of which can substantially reduce IR range
Figure 79
• Position the sensor so it is between 1.1 and 3.1 meters from the floor. Optimum height
for the sensor is 2.1meters.
• Slide the circuit board up or down so the marker on the housing matches up with the
installed height on the scale provided on the right hand side of the circuit board.
• Position the sensor so it is at least 2 meters away from electrical lighting such as neon
and fluorescent lights.
• Position the sensor as to avoid exposing it to direct sunlight and heating / cooling
sources.
• Select a location where persons are more likely to walk across the detection “fingers”
rather than into them (see Figure 63).

• Install a DDMIDC8
• Powerful Internal PLC - Custom scripts can be written to provide process control based on
conditional logic.
• Simple Installation - DIN Rail mount facilitates installation. Fixing points are provided for
installation without the use of DIN rail.
Installation notes
• Read Instructions – We recommend that you read this Instruction Manual prior to
commencement of installation.
• Special Programming – This device will only operate in basic modes unless programmed via a
computer. If programming is required, contact your local agent for details. Once the data cable is
connected to the devices, the factory default settings will allow any control panel or input to operate
all channels in all controllers.
• Mounting Location – Install in a dry, well-ventilated location. Controllers may emit some
mechanical noise. Take this into account when deciding the mounting location.
• Data Cable – Use screened, stranded RS485 data cable with three twisted pairs. Segregate from
mains cables by 300mm minimum. Connect devices in a ‘daisy chain’. A data cable that is connected
to an energized device is live. Do not cut or terminate live data cables.

Installation steps
1. Mount the device on a DIN rail inside an approved enclosure. The device can also be
installed without the use of DIN rail by removing the cover to access two mounting
screw holes.
2. Connect RS485 data cable to the serial port as per the connection diagram overleaf.
3. If used, connect volt free contacts or 0-24V AC/DC inputs to any of the 8 opto-isolated
inputs. Remove the lid and ensure that the jumpers for each input are set to the
appropriate 0-24V or volt free setting, depending on the input type.
4. If any opto-isolated inputs are of the Dry Contact type, ensure that the power supply
jumper is fitted in the “volt free” position. Note that this will increase the current
consumption of the device from 15mA to 40mA, which may require consideration of
voltage drop on long runs of DyNet data cable.
5. If used, connect 0-5V or 0-10V inputs to the analogue ports. Ensure the input voltage is
DC and a maximum of 10 Volts. Note that bare faders can also be connected to the
analogue inputs by using the adjacent +5V terminal as a supply. Suggested fader value is
10K ohm. Do not attempt to draw more than 25mA from the +5V terminal.
Installing DDNG485
2. Connect data cables to the device as per diagrams. Note that the device is powered from
the DyNet network segment that is connected to Port 1. When implementing Repeaters,
connect the link to Port 2 of both Gateways. Shielded cable must be used for long runs.
When implementing Trunk / Spur topology, connect the Trunk to Port 2 and the Spur to
Port 1. Note that up to 150mA of power from the DyNet network on Port 1 is fed to
Port 2, so providing there is surplus power available on the Spurs it is normally not
necessary to provide a network power supply for the Trunk.
3. If using the device as a DMX receiver, ensure DMX termination rules are obeyed, use a
120 Ohm terminating resistor across D+ and D- at the end of line. Note that Port 2
should be used for DMX Reception.

Learning outcomes
By the end of this topic you’ll be able to:
Simple tests can be performed to confirm functionality of each device on the network. As all
channels are set to Area 1 and panels recall presets for Area 1 it is easy to check the network.
LED tracking
To check the LED tracking on panels simply hit the buttons on a panel and the indicator LED
should illuminate on the button you pressed.
Check that other panels buttons also change accordingly to track the button pushes throughout
the network.
Luminaires
Hit buttons 1 and 4 on a panel to confirm that the luminaires are responding to Area Preset
messages for 100% and 0%.
Sensors
Check that sensors are working correctly by sending an Area 1 message on the network by
hitting button 1 on any panel in the network.
• Use the sliders on the page to control channels to confirm that it is communicating on
the network
Troubleshooting
Network Fault finding
Once your network is complete, as described earlier. All devices should react to a single push
button message. If this is not the case the simplest way to diagnosis the problem is to:
• Break the network into two halves. As you have kept a record of how the network was
installed, to find the mid way point should be simple.
• Try pushing a button again in each half of the network, this will identify which half has the
problem.
• Continue to break this half into quarters and repeat the push button press.
In a real installation, power consumers connected to DyNet will present a load to the providers
power supply. This can be bench tested using a dummy load.
• Select the panel in Physical view and press the R key on your PC keyboard. A red reset
message should appear in the monitor window if the device is online
• Check that the LED’s are working on the front of the panel and are following the button
presses. No LED’s would indicate a possible panel failure or power loss
• Remove the panel and check the data cable connection for broken wiring. Repair as
necessary.
• Factory default the panel in EnvisionProject and reconfigure the device to ensure it is
configured correctly.
Common problems
Check the following list. If you are still unable to rectify the situation, contact Dynalite. Please
ensure that you have completed the following prior to calling our technical support department.

• In the event of transformer failure, only the single lamp is extinguished. The transformer
is also readily accessible as it will be near the extinguished lamp.
• If larger capacity transformers are used to control multiple lamps, any variances in cable
length will be manifested in different luminous outputs; the longer the cable, the less light
will be observed coming from the source.
• Large transformers are prone to nuisance tripping with MCB's at switch on, although the
soft start features of Dynalite controllers will minimise this risk. The problem is due to
the highly inductive nature of the transformer coupled with the high inrush current of the
lamps. Sometimes large transformers cannot be avoided for stretched-wire or parallel
rod distribution systems. These transformers are usually a component part of the system
and should have an integral provision for fast protection against overload or short circuit
of the conductors.
• Large wire-wound transformers have high energy losses and poor output voltage
regulation.
• Some transformers are not suitable for dimming. Please refer to the Dynalite
Transformer Compatibility Guide for further information.
• For effective phase control dimming, minimum loads may apply, depending on the
transformer type or load characteristic of the connected lighting fixtures. Lighting
circuits comprising a single low voltage fitting of 20W or less may exhibit some instability
for this reason. Please refer to controller data sheets or consult a Dynalite
representative for advice on minimum loads.
Four-wire transformers (DALI, DSI, 1-10V) require a pair of cables for the control signal, in
addition to the mains feed. Local supply regulations must be observed when wiring mains and
control cables, as the control terminals on the transformers or controllers are not rated as SELV.
Mains voltage must never be applied to the control signal terminals or cables.
Due to the fact that different type and wattage lamps may have different dimming curves, it is
advisable not to mix fixtures with different lamp types on the same dimmer channel.
