M/DALI.1 KNX DALI Master Actuator: Integrated Gateway for 64 Devices
The M/DALI.1 KNX DALI Master Actuator is the high-performance gateway essential for integrating DALI lighting systems into the KNX/EIB infrastructure. This device features a built-in DALI power supply and connects up to 64 DALI devices (ballasts/drivers) on a single DALI bus, simplifying installation and reducing component count.Designed for professional environments, the M/DALI.1 supports a wide global input voltage range of AC100-240V. Its key feature is real-time failure detection, which alerts the user to ballast failure, lamp failure, and other system issues, guaranteeing maximum system uptime and simplified maintenance.The actuator supports multiple control methodologies, including Group, Scene, and Sequence control, and can be used with intelligent input devices like the KNX Mini PIR Lux Sensor to create highly efficient, constant-light installations.
