TRIDONIC 28000882 Control Module DSI Signal

Installation Instruction

The digital DSI control module is designed to control up to 50 digital units such as electronic control gear, transformers and phase dimmers. It therefore has all the properties shared by all DSI units so far and enables PCA/TE one4all/PCD digital electronic control gear to be automatically switched and controlled via the control line
Cable types
Standard installation and wiring material is used.
According to DIN VDE 0100/T520/Part 6, main circuits and associated auxiliary circuits may be laid together even if the auxiliary circuits carry a lower voltage than the main circuits. Make sure to use cable designed to take the maximum operating voltage.
A twisted or stranded 2-core cable approved for lowvoltage systems is used as the bus line (2×1.5 mm² is recommended). The cable must be designed for a test voltage of 4 kV between the wires and external sheath surface (test in accordance with DIN VDE 0472/Part 508). The cables are not shielded. One twist per metre is recommended; on per 5 metres is the minimum. e.g.:
H 05 VV-U 2×0.75 (NYM 2×0.75 mm² twisted)
H 05 VV-U 2×1.5 (NYM 2×1.5 mm² twisted)
J-Y(ST)Y tested to 4 kV
PYCYM 2 x 2 x 0.8 (diameter) Note: this corresponds to 2 x 2 x 0.5 mm²
Function selection DSI-V/T
DIP switch for selecting DSI-V or DSI-T
Standard function
- Standard: The DSI signal is received, amplified (signal amplitude), refreshed (on a time basis) and output again.
PC function
- PC: The return channel is deactivated at the input for connection of the serial RS232 interface of winDIM

Tunnel function
- Safety mode specifically for tunnel applications. If a DSI signal is not received within a period of 60 seconds, the DSI-V/T will fade up to 100 % brightness. A DSI value of 0 is forwarded only if the signal is received three times in succession (this enhances the fault tolerance of the system). This makes it difficult to switch off the system inadvertently. Fault reporting is also suppressed
PD on/off function (Presence Detection)
- The PD input is closed: The lighting is switched on immediately. The OSI value fades to the memory value.
- The PD input is opened: The lighting fades down and switches off with a fade time of 60 seconds (for a OSI value of 255).
PD only off (Presence Detection)
- The PD input is closed: The lighting is switched on immediately. The OSI value fades to the memory value.
- The PD input is opened: The lighting fades down and switches off with a fade time of 60 seconds (for a OSI value of 255). If the presence detector now detects activity again and therefore closes the PD input, the lighting will still remain dark. The lighting can only be switched on by means of the external switch. If this switch is now actuated the lighting will fade up to the last OSI value set
PD never off (Presence Detection)
- The PD input is closed. The lighting is switched on.
- The lighting fades up to the last OSI value set.
- The PD input is opened. The lighting fades down to 3 %; it is not switch off.
- ON/OFF switching is possible only with the one-way/two-way switch.
Scene function
- The PD input is closed: A switch for retrieving scenes is connected to the PD input.
Saving a scene
- Long press (> 1 O seconds): The current OSI value is saved as the memory value.
- This is signalled by double flashing for 0.7 seconds (min. -max. -min. -max.).
Retrieving a scene
- Short press (50-600ms): The saved scene (memory value) is retrieved.
