ADDICT v3.0.1 User Manual DALI Functionality

During the random addressing process, one the following messages may appear on the last line

of the screen:

• “Complete” – random addressing has finished, and at least one device has been

randomly assigned an address.

• “No new devices” – no devices without addresses were detected on the line when

Address New is selected.

• “No devices on bus” – no devices were detected on the line when Address All is selected.

• “No spare addrs” – The ADDICT

failed to give a device an address because all 64

addresses available with DALI are currently in use on the line.

• “Search error or Verify failed” – an error occurred when trying to locate a device. The

ADDICT

will allow three of these errors to occur before it stops the random addressing

process. Typically, these errors are non-repetitive and are due to intermittent noise on

the line, hence the 3x fail-safe approach.

Selectable values:

• Confirmation (YES, NO) – Press enter with YES selected to confirm random addressing,

NO to cancel.

At the end of a random addressing session, the user can choose to do a check count of the line

by pressing enter. For details see: Count Devices on page 34. Press escape from the Count

Device screen to return to the previous addressing menu.

Physical Selection

Assigns addresses to the devices on the DALI line one at a time by means of their lamps being

temporarily removed. There are two options available under Physical Selection – Address New

and Address All.

When Address New is selected, the physical selection procedure begins immediately and all

devices that report their addresses will keep their current addresses. If Address All is selected,

all devices will first have all their addresses cleared.

Before the physical selection procedure begins, confirmation is required:

There are four different screens that can be displayed during the physical selection procedure:

This screen will be shown if any devices on the DALI line do not currently have an address. Also

shown is the next address that will be assigned to a device when its lamp is removed, and how

many devices have already been addressed during this physical selection procedure (these two

fields are always displayed during physical selection).
