© 2003 ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH G. Schlag- Folie 2 What is DALI ? (1) The subject DALI is a synonym for a standard, independent of the manufacturer to control electronic ballast devices (ebd`s) and lamps the digital way

© 2003 ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH G. Schlag- Folie 3 This standard (DALI) is supported by the worldwide leading manufacturers of ebd`s since There is a working group ( Activity Group DALI – ag.org) to establish the DALI Standard. ag.org Since October 2003 ABB Stotz Kontakt is a member of AG DALI and therefore authorised to assemble and sell DALI compatible devices with DALI Logo. Members of working group AG DALI: ABB, BAG, CEAG, DELMATIC, DIAL, ECKERLE, ERC, ERCO, ETAP, GEWISS, GITRONICA, HADLER, HELVAR, HÜCO, INSTA, JOHANSON CONTROLS, LIGHTOLIER, LUTRON, LUXMATE, MAY&CHRISTE, NIKO, OSRAM, PHILIPS LIGHTING, SANDER, TRIDONIC, TROLL, UNIVERSAL LIGTHING TECHNOLOGIES, VOSSLOHGIES, VOSSLOH-SCHWABE, WILA What is DALI ?

Schlag- Folie 5 Task of working group DALI - worldwide adoption of DALI - Securing the convertibility of DALI devices - Support of application of DALI No Certification or Registration of DALI devices necessary DALI Logo indicates the compatibility of DALI components DALI is a stand-alone System. It is a digital control and a subsystem for lighting technology and not a bussystem Specification is documented in DIN IEC What is DALI ? (4)

Schlag- Folie 6 DALI is a digital interface in lighting technology, used as a subsystem in building technology It is supported by all manufacturers of electronic ballast devices (ebd`s) A standard independent of the manufacturer Specification is documented in DIN IEC DALI - the Standard for Lighting Technology

© 2003 ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH G. Schlag- Folie 7 DALI is more and more in use in non residential buildings Modern and smart Lighting technology is with DALI feasible, including coulored light For all types of lamps (e.g. halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps, bulbs, LEDs) are appropiated ballast devices available The product range of DALI components will extend on L&B 2004 DALI-Gateways for superior building installation systems like EIB / KNX, LON... are available Where is DALI today (1)

Schlag- Folie 8 Architects for Illumination accept DALI as ideal tool for lighting technology DALI is specified in many cases for Light moods (e.g. Doctor`s surgery) Light effects (e.g. Show rooms) Functional Light control (e.g. Office buildings) Supervision (e.g. Building with Facility-Management) Where is DALI today (2)
