Introduction
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI
seamlessly connects with the open DALI protocol by way of the DIN-DALI-2 interface. This interface
can work with any Crestron control system as well as any power supply. A benet of this exibility is that Crestron
devices such as keypads, thermostats, photo and occupancy sensors, gateways, and other Cresnet
devices can
easily communicate with the DALI system.
Commissioning lighting groups, detecting faults, and replacing ballasts is simple when using the powerful Crestron
DALI Commissioning Tool. The user can develop interactive oor plans using Smart Graphics
, which provides
easier monitoring, management, and control of all the light xtures within the space.
Crestron delivers the most comprehensive DALI ballast solution with single, 2, and 3 lamp versions available for
any application, in any part of the world. Crestron Green Light

DALI is a protocol used for the direct control of lighting ballasts. The DALI standard allows multiple ballasts to be
daisy-chained using low-voltage wiring for power on/off and dimming control. Up to 64 independently operating
ballasts can exist on a single DALI channel. DALI lighting is optimal for applications that require granular control of
each xture, such as open ofce oor plans and daylight harvesting in classrooms.
Control wires are topology free (up to 64 between each ballast), making wiring simpler than in 0 10 volts dimming
systems. DALI systems can report lamp and ballast failure for easier maintenance, and with Crestron PM ballasts,
controllers can query energy usage. Additionally, the DALI data is resistant to noise which allows it to run alongside
line-voltage power lines. The Crestron DALI Commissioning Tool simplies system installation and provides a setup
wizard with step-by-step conguration of ballast properties, groups, and scenes.
Spaces with changing tenants and large campuses with frequently repurposed rooms are the prime target of DALI
systems. Some of the key features are as follows:
Individual Addresses: Each DALI ballast has its own unique address on the system; therefore the system
is able to communicate with each ballast independently of the others.
Number of Addresses: Up to 64 addresses can be on one DALI loop. An unlimited number of loops can
be placed on a complete DALI networked system.
Grouping: DALI ballasts can be assigned from 116 groups on a loop, without the need for re-wiring.
The example below shows how Crestron communicates with DALI and other building systems.
Crestron Communication with DALI
Commercial Lighting DALI Edition Design Guide
Doc. 7386D | crestron.com 3
Bi-directional Communication: Ballasts are able to receive information as well as report back lamp or
ballast failures to the central DALI system.
Re-addressing Ballasts: Using the DALI Commissioning Tool, if a ballast fails on a system, the loop can
detect the missing address and re-address it when a new ballast is added back in its place.
Warranty and Compliance: Crestron DALI ballasts include a 5 year warranty. The ballasts are UL listed,
CE, and RoHS compliant.
DALI Requirements
The intent of the DALI protocol is to supply low cost, interchangeable ballasts that are simple to program and
commission.
Ballast Power Requirements: The ballast must be universal voltage (115300 volts), 5060 Hz, high power
factor, low harmonics, and have transient surge protection. When the initial voltage is applied, the lamps go to full
on or to a pre-set level.
Command Requirements: Ballasts are able to receive information and report back to the central DALI system
regarding lamp or ballast failures.
Lamp Response Requirements: DALI protocol requires a precise logarithmic dimming curve of 254 steps
(2.8% increase per step) so that all ballasts dim the same: 0100% for incandescent and uorescent, 3100% for
compact uorescent, and 0100% for LED.
Protocol Requirements: The DALI protocol includes the intent and electrical requirements, bits and bytes, collision
detection, and the type of wire that can be used.
Crestron and DALI-AG Working Group
Crestron is a participating member of the DALI-AG Working Group. Participating members are key suppliers of
products and technology that comply with DALI and IEC 62386 standards. As a member, Crestron participates in
committee proceedings and plays a role in the development of specications. Members have total access to all
DALI specications, which are critical to the development of products.

Emergency and DALI Ballasts
Crestron provides cold-start emergency ballasts to illuminate rooms with existing lights during a blackout therefore
eliminating the need for an emergency generator.
The emergency ballast ts into the xture with the DALI ballast. When a power outage is detected, the emergency
ballast lights up one or two lamps in the xture for more than 90 minutes. This complies with many state and local
codes, including the National Electrical Code and the Life Safety Code (NFPA 101).
In the example below, ve of the six xtures are without power. One of the xtures utilizes the emergency backup
to illuminate the room. This emergency ballast powering scenario tremendously reduces wiring costs and the need
to purchase and maintain costly backup power systems.
