374-DMBOX EasyDALi Multi Purpose Box
Product Information: Elkay easyDALi Multi-Purpose Box
The Elkay easyDALi Multi-Purpose Box is a flexible solution that
allows installers to build a DALI system using their own cables
without the need for expensive connectors. It provides maximum
flexibility and true freedom in building a DALI system. The box has
12 entry points, with 6 connections for DALI lighting, and the
remaining 6 entry points can be used for other purposes. The box
allows the installer to either use it as a junction box or as a
through-box, and it is suitable for both emergency lighting and
non-DALI lighting applications. The Elkay easyDALi Multi-Purpose
Box is recommended for use with the Elkay easyDALi Power Supply
Unit.
Product Specifications:
- Model: 374-DMBOX
- Number of Entry Points: 12
- Number of Connections for DALI Lighting: 6
- Recommended Usage: Junction box or through-box
- Suitable for: Emergency lighting and non-DALI lighting
applications
Product Usage Instructions: Elkay easyDALi Multi-Purpose
Box
Before commencing installation, read all the instructions and
product advice sheets. All wiring should be carried out by a
competent person or qualified electrician and be fitted to current
IEE Edition wiring regulations.
Fitting Instructions:
- Decide whether to use the box as a junction box or
through-box. - If using as a through-box, connect the cables through the box
using the appropriate cable glands. - If using as a junction box, strip the cables and connect them
using the appropriate connectors. - The remaining 6 entry points have 6 connections which, if all
are used for DALI lighting only, will only utilise the 5 cores;
Permanent Live, Earth, Neutral and the DALI bus line pair. - The Switch Live is only used when there is a need to connect
some non-DALI lighting, thereby increasing the flexibility of the
multi-purpose box for the installer. - When using Emergency Lighting, it gives flexibility to wire the
permanent and switch lives as appropriate. - As with any DALI network, we recommend that all parts of the
system are accessible for maintenance.
Product Information: Elkay easyDALi Power Supply Unit
The Elkay easyDALi Power Supply Unit is an essential component
that powers the network of easyDALi PIR sensors and DALI luminaire
ballasts connected into the system. It provides low DC power used
to power the network and has in-built thermal and overload
protection. The power supply unit needs just a standard 5-core
cable to connect it to the Multi-Purpose Box with connections to
the Live, Neutral, Earth, and DALI BUS line terminals. It is
recommended that one power supply is needed for each separate
network.

Features DALI Multi-Purpose Box for maximum connection
flexibility Connects up multiple strings of DALI PIRS and lighting Maximum 10A rating per box 8 Multiple connections per box Connects power supply for Elkay easyDALi network Can control LED and fluorescent DALI luminaires
This Elkay easyDALi multi-purpose box gives installers maximum flexibility and true freedom in building a DALI system by allowing them to use their own cable without the need for expensive connectors.
Fitting and operation instructions 1. The multi-purpose box allows the installer to either use it
to connect DALI PIRS OR allows them to connect to 10A of lighting loads or both. 2. There are 8 connections per box but one must be used for POWER IN and another for the DALI POWER SUPPLY unit to power the PIRs. This leave 6 connections for either lighting, DALI bus lines or both via either 5 core or 6 core cable of the appropriately sized CSA for your installation. 3. At least one entry point will be used to bring in mains a.c. power and the other for the Elkay easyDALi Power Supply Unit. The unit runs the network power for the Elkay easyDALi PIRs and the lighting ballasts.
4. The remaining 6 entry points have 6 connections which if all are used for DALI lighting only will only utilise the 5 cores; Permanent Live, Earth, Neutral and the DALI bus line pair.
5. The Switch Live is only used when there is a need to connect some non-DALI lighting thereby increasing the flexibility of the multi-purpose box for the installer.
6. When using Emergency Lighting it gives flexibility to wire the permanent and switch lives as appropriate.
7. As with any DALI network we recommend that all parts of system are accessible for maintenance.

Elkay easyDALi Network Solution Overview
The Elkay easyDALi system has been designed to make installation and set-up of a DALI system quicker and easier for installers. With the increasing energy saving requirements to cut emissions and energy bills from consumers and businesses alike, Elkay’s easyDALi system is here to meet these demands. Elkay have achieved this by making the first range of sensors that can automatically configure DALI lighting ballasts, as well as the more commonly used broadcast mode. The system provides presence and absence detection and deliver daylight harvesting to ensure maximum energy efficiency. The Elkay easyDALi PIR is a presence, absence and daylight harvesting sensor all rolled into one. In a brand new `out of the box’ installation of new DALI luminaires and with a new Elkay easyDALI PIR, you can simply wire the lighting, the power supply and the PIR together with the multi-purpose box and simply accept the default settings of….. Broadcast mode Timing Daylight Harvesting …and the PIR with just a few pushes of the remote control will find and address all luminaires control gear on the network and the installation is complete. With just a few more button selections on the PIR and the remote controller, the product can easily set up groups and scenes as well as corridor modes, additional timing modes and the PIR will also automatically daylight harvest to maximise energy savings. Unlike some manufacturers systems Elkay’s easyDALi PIR sensors can be wired to control their own set of luminaires using in built DALI group functions to give control by group and not just by broadcast alone.
The complete Elkay easyDALi PIR is provided with just four elements.
