Module to control a relay contact over the
DALI bus (DT7) for DIN top-hat rails DIN-EN
60715 TH35. 98x17,5x56 mm. Protection
class IP20. DALI current consumption 2.7 mA.
Compact relay module for direct control of
230 V loads over DALI. Loads without DALI
input are easily integrated in a DALI circuit.
Loads can be switched on/off by DALI com-
mands. The device function complies with
the standard for DALI Device Type 7 – switching
function (as of Firmware 2.0). Adjustable
characteristic for power-up and bus power
The DALI RM16 is powered over the DALI bus.
No additional power supply is required.
Zero passage switch-on. Integrated power-
on current limit, particularly suitable for
loads with very high power-on current
(> 100 A). The interface represents a bus
user and is therefore addressable.
Conguration via DALI Cockpit PC software.
DALI functions and command set:
The DALI RM16 can integrate loads on the
DALI bus and can then switch them on/off.
The DALI RM16 is a control device for non-
dimmable loads based on the DALI speci-
cations in IEC 62386-208 (Device Type 7).
Accordingly, the switch characteristic is
determined by comparing the virtual dim
level (VDAP) with 4 switching thresholds.
The virtual dim level (VDAP) corresponds to
the dim level of a DALI electronic ballast with
Temperature at mounting location:
Storage temperature: -25°C up to +70°C.
annual average value <75%.
Only skilled electricians may install this
electrical equipment otherwise there is

its corresponding characteristics (limited
by MINLEVEL and MAXLEVEL, dimming
speed limited by fade time and fade rate).
There are 2 switching thresholds in each
dimming direction and they are used for
comparison with the virtual dim level. Only
the applicable switching threshold for the
current virtual dimming direction is evaluated.
A threshold with the value 'MASK' is inactive
and is not used in the comparison.
Switch-on/off delays can be implemented
The DALI RM16 is powered from the DALI bus.
The relay response to a bus power failure can
be congured by the SystemFailureLevel
(no change, ON or OFF, factory setting: ON).
The power-on response after applying bus
power can be set with PowerOnLevel.
Max. connected current 16 A
