There are many different ways in which you can wire a DALI Switchboard. Below are some suggestions which could be adopted to suit your needs.

Emergency Lighting Note: Because all DALI fittings are supplied with an switched Acitve supply there is no added need for any extra circuit breakers or wiring. The same setup can be used for DALI lighting, DALI emergency Lighting or a Mixture of DALI and DALI emergency lighting.

Due the fact that the DALI wires are NOT SELV, normal wiring rules apply and this allows the DALI cables to be wired with the normal Mains rated cables.

24 hour Fittings Note: There is no need to separate fittings that need to operate 24 hours a day onto a separate supply. Fittings that are required to operate 24hours a day can be programmed when the site is commissioned.

Backup Generator: A backup generator can be wired directly to all supplies without consideration of the load. During commissioning the load and fittings required to be powered by the emergency generator is selected and then programmed. A control system can even be programmed to control the load and turn on more fittings as the generator stabilizes
