CP adds to DALI control range
CP Electronics has launched a low-cost device to simplify DALI lighting installations. Called D-Mate Addresser, it is the latest addition to the sophisticated D-Mate lighting-control system. The D-Mate addresser complements the functionality of the D-Mate lighting-control system, making it very easy to address the other elements of the system using simple but reliable DIL switches.
The addressers can take the message from the addressable DALI system and ‘translate’ it into a broadcast message. As a result, luminaire ballasts do not have to be addressed using a PC or other method, making installation and commissioning faster and simpler. Each addresser gives control of up to 10 ballasts to improve the control of both large and small spaces.
The addresser is available in three versions: DALI; DALI to DSI; and DALI to 1 to 10 V. There is an additional option for supplying switched mains. Luminaire-mounted versions are also available.
Applications of the D-Mate system include offices, meeting rooms, hotel rooms and other applications where more costly systems would not be viable.
