Switch-on and switch-off delays

Up to two time functions can be set independently of each other for each group and single device. The time functions apply only to the communication objects "Switching - Setting" or "Central function... - Switching" (if the central function is assigned to the group or single device) and delay the received object value depending on the telegram polarity.

To use the time delays, the "Time delays" parameter must be activated on the parameter page "DALI system... -> Configuration groups -> [x] Group name -> Enabled functions" or "DALI system... -> Configuration single devices -> [x] Device name -> Enabled functions".

At the end of a disabling function or forced position function, the brightness state received during the function or adjusted before the function can be tracked. Residual times of time functions are also tracked if these had not yet fully elapsed at the time of the reactivation or forced control.

The time delays do not influence the staircase function if this is enabled.

A time delay still in progress will be fully aborted by a device reset (bus/mains voltage failure or ETS programming operation).

Activating switch-on delay

The switch-on delay can be activated separately in the ETS for each group and single device on the parameter page "DALI system... -> Configuration groups -> [x] Group name -> Time delays" or "DALI system... -> Configuration single devices -> [x] Device name -> Time delays".

  • The time delays must be enabled for the group or single device.
  1. Activate the parameter "switch-on delay".
  • The switch-on delay is activated. After receiving an ON telegram by means of the object "Switching - Setting" or "Central function... - Switching", the configurable time is started. Another ON telegram triggers the time only if the parameter "Retriggerable" is activated. An OFF-telegram received during the switch-on delay will end the delay and set the switching status to "OFF".

Activating switch-off delay

The switch-off delay can be activated separately in the ETS for each group and single device on the parameter page "DALI system... -> Configuration groups -> [x] Group name -> Time delays" or "DALI system... -> Configuration single devices -> [x] Device name -> Time delays".

  • The time delays must be enabled for the group or single device.
  1. Activate the parameter "Switch-off delay".
  • The switch-off delay is activated. After receiving an OFF telegram by means of the object "Switching - Setting" or "Central function... - Switching", the configurable time is started. Another OFF telegram triggers the time only if the "Retriggerable" parameter is activated. An ON-telegram received during the switch-off delay will end the delay and set the switching status to "ON".
