This practical starter pack includes three easy-to-use products – the •—’‡”Ǧƪƒ– Ǥ Ǥ Ǥ ͱͱ ‘……—’ƒ…› multi-sensor, a four-way pushbutton interface to access lighting scenes and the DALI power supply which is connected –‘ –Š‡ Ž‹‰Š– Ƥ––‹‰• ‹ –Š‡…‡‹Ž‹‰Ǥ Š‡ Ǥ Ǥ Ǥ ͱͱ ‹• ƒ ƪ—•Š Ƥ––‹‰ occupancy sensor with a thickness ‘ˆ Ž‡•• –Šƒ ͝ ƒ† ‹• Šƒ”†Ž› ˜‹•‹„Ž‡ ‘…‡ ‹– Šƒ• „‡‡ Ƥ––‡† into the ceiling. It provides intelligent lighting control by reliably detecting brightness and movement in the room within an area of up to 9m. The innovative pushbutton interface is combined with a suitable retractable switch, or scene plate. It houses a Bluetooth interface, which allows easy programming via a smartphone or tablet device using the free B.E.G. DALI LINK App. The app contains a protected area which allows the installer to securely and intuitively commission the DALI LINK STARTERSET and allow the levels to be automatically queried and displayed. The end user can activate pre-set scenes at any –‹‡ǡ ™‹–Š —’ –‘ ͢͝ •…‡ƒ”‹‘• pre-installed, or to even create their own. The lighting can also be conventionally switched and dimmed as required. The DALI LINK solution allows more than just scenes to be set up and controlled. A guide light function can also be created to reduce dark spots, or to allow the lights in adjacent areas and corridors to be on at a dimmed level. This ensures a controlled pool of light follows users. All DALI lighting groups, the push button interface and sensors (including slaves) use just one single pair cable, to connect, so making it easier for electricians to install. Additional sensors can be connected in the DALI line as slave devices, so extending the area coverage. The system is expandable, with the STARTERSET controlling up to 25 Dali lights, and six control devices. B.E.G.
