Yes

Basically, the same commands are used for DALI and DALI-2, so DALI-2 devices can be used in conventional systems without any problems.

Everything is allowed except a ring.

Max. 300 m with a cross section of 1.5 mm²

A maximum of 16 groups are possible in a DALI line.

64 DALI operating devices are permitted in a DALI circuit.

DALI operating devices can e.g. B. LED drivers with an integrated DALI interface.

A scene defines a specific state for each operating device (dimming value, colour temperature, colour depending on the device type).

A group is a combination of several operating devices that are controlled together via the group address.

Broadcast are simple telegrams that distribute the command equally to all participants.

DALI-2 is a new standard available since November 2014. DALI-2 is intended to eliminate ambiguities in the existing standard and ensure better interoperability between devices from different manufacturers.

DALI stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface and means that DALI lights can be addressed and controlled individually.

Single master means that in a DALI system there is only one master that sends the commands to the slaves (operating devices). Multimaster means that active communication is permitted for several participants on one line. Something like this will e.g. B. needed for buttons, motion detectors, smartphones or similar.

Max. 2mA.

The DALI standard states that the voltage range must be between 9.5 and 22 volts.

The simplest DALI system consists of a DALI bus supply, a DALI operating device, for example an LED driver.

The SU62PF-BT/UC can operate with 12-230V AC or DC.

As a rule, yes. The most common damage is caused by conducted power surges. So if the line is interrupted, by pulling the plug, the interference cannot penetrate the end device.

However, you have to consistently pull all plugs, e.g. power and antenna plugs on a TV.

However, this is not a permanent method of protection, because thunderstorms will certainly occur at night or in the absence of the residents.

And last but not least: In the event of a direct or nearby lightning strike, serious damage to and in the building must be expected in buildings without protective measures.

All about Type 3 Surge Protectors

These surge protection devices (type 3 surge protection device) used to be referred to as fine protection. It is important to know that these are usually used in third place as part of a graduated protection concept. Their scope of protection is thus limited, although a little protection is of course better than none at all.

They are available in different versions, e.g. electricity and telephone line combined.

These protective devices are available in different designs, e.g. as sockets. These devices are often in use in offices. Devices that are plugged directly into an existing socket (such as a timer) are also common. Anyone can insert these devices into a socket themselves and connect the device to be protected to it. Obvious cheap products must be strongly discouraged: These devices often do not meet the strict VDE guidelines and thus do not achieve the desired protection goal. Fire development was also reported in the event of improper use.

Consumers should therefore purchase protective devices from specialist retailers and use products from well-known manufacturers that guarantee compliance with the DIN EN 61643-11 standard.

Type 3 surge arresters are available from about 30 euros per device.

Yes. It is typical that lightning strikes somewhere and the lightning current looks for all possible paths towards “earth”. Some of it often flows into the electricity and telephone network and damages the surrounding connected devices. There are investigations according to which telephone systems were damaged by a lightning strike even 3 km away.

In principle, there are two possibilities:

• via a strong electromagnetic field, e.g. in the event of a direct lightning strike. This is actually only important for very sensitive electronic devices; corresponding (EMC) protection measures are mainly used in industry.
• via metal cables.
  This concerns conducted interference, meaning that ALL lines entering a building must be considered: electricity, telephone, broadband, water, etc. These lines must be connected to the central “ground” (main equipotential bonding) at the building’s entry point. Live conductors carrying voltage (telephone, electricity, broadband cable, etc.) must be equipped with surge protection devices. These protective devices create a brief short circuit to ground for surges.

Not all overvoltages are the same. It is clear that in the vicinity of a direct lightning strike, much higher surges occur than in the distance. In addition to the overvoltage, lightning currents can also flow on a line.

In the case of (conducted) disturbances, a distinction must be made between high-energy disturbances, e.g. due to a direct or nearby lightning strike, and low-energy disturbances, e.g. distant lightning strikes or switchovers in the power grid. A distinction must also be made between the devices to be protected: There are electrical and electronic devices that are inherently more sensitive, such as computers, televisions, telephone systems.

Therefore, the three-stage protection concept with SPD Surge Protective Device (SPD) applies in general:

• So-called lightning arresters (SPD type 1) protect against high-energy disturbances and high overvoltages. These prevent the penetration of lightning (partial) currents into the building via the cable to be protected. However, overvoltages still occur.
• Surge arresters are used against overvoltages (SPD type 2). These reduce the interference voltage to a generally sufficiently low level.
• For particularly sensitive devices, special surge arresters (SPD Type 3) are used, which reduce the interference voltage even further.

Lightning currents are always used when lightning strikes directly into or near the building. After the impact, lightning currents seek all possible paths towards the earth; they also typically spread into the earth via metal pipes. It is known from analyses of damage reports that damage to electrical equipment that is connected to the electricity or telephone network, for example, can occur up to 3 km away from the actual lightning strike.

The special feature of lightning currents is the high energy content: If the current is high enough, i.e.
in the vicinity of the impact site, fire can develop in the presence of flammable material and oxygen. Overvoltages, on the other hand, are different: the currents that occur are low, as is the energy.
Sensitive electrical and electronic equipment is disrupted or destroyed; however, there is usually no fire development.

The task of a lightning protection system is to protect a building and the people in it from lightning effects. In addition, a modern lightning protection system also protects the technology from overvoltages. It consists of

• External lightning protection
  External lightning protection protects a building by the arresting devices absorbing direct lightning strikes and introducing the lightning current via the conductors (not to be confused with lightning arresters) into the earthing system in the ground. External lightning protection does not prevent the lightning from hitting the building, but offers the lightning a metal connection at the preferred points of impact, which is able to transport the lightning current towards the earth permanently and without danger to people and the object to be protected. This prevents direct lightning strikes into people.
• Internal lightning protection
  An essential component is lightning protection equipotential bonding. All metal pipe installations and all cable installations (electricity, DSL, cable TV, SATTV, etc.) are connected to each other and to the main grounding rail, if necessary with SPDs type 1. This prevents voltage differences and the associated lightning flashovers in the building with subsequent fire and personal hazard. This lightning protection equipotential bonding goes beyond protective equipotential bonding according to DIN VDE 0100-410 and DIN VDE 0100-540 (surge protection).
• Überspannungsschutz
  Wenn der Innere Blitzschutz auch einen Schutz der Kabel-Installationen und der daran
  angeschlossenen Geräte übernehmen soll, spricht man vom Überspannungsschutz. Durch
  Überspannungsschutzgeräte (SPDs Typ 2) in den Verteilern für die Energietechnik und den
  Übergabe- und/oder Speisepunkten der informationstechnischen Systeme wird die
  auftretende Überspannung auf ein für die Endgeräte ungefährliche Werte begrenzt. Bei
  Leitungslängen größer etwa 5 m sind weitere Ableiter (SPDs Typ 3) unmittelbar am
  Endgerät für einen vollständigen Schutz erforderlich.

Surge protection can therefore be seen as part of lightning protection, but it can also be set up independently as basic protection for electrical installations and personal protection.

Surges, on the other hand, are different: the currents involved are low, as is the energy. Sensitive electrical and electronic equipment may be disrupted or destroyed; however, fires generally do not occur.

The overvoltage damages or destroys the connected electronic components. In extreme cases, the destructive effect can even cause explosion and fire of the device.

In addition, the installations as a whole are at risk: In the event of very high overvoltages, a short circuit takes place in the cables and distributors; the insulation is destroyed, and a fire may occur. In any case, the system is defective and must be repaired at great expense.

In the home power grid, the mains voltage is usually 230 V. Higher voltages can occur due to switching operations by the electricity suppliers or in the event of nearby lightning strikes, which cause damage to sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.

Whether and what damage occurs depends not only on the amount of the overvoltage, but also on the duration as well as on the “curve shape” (e.g. steep voltage increase). Overvoltages due to nearby lightning strikes are particularly dangerous, because lightning (partial) currents enter the house via the power supply network and can cause considerable damage there.

The difference between surge protection and lightning protection is that a high voltage is assumed to be the primary cause of damage in surge protection, while a high current is assumed to be the primary cause of damage in lightning protection.

Surge protection has been considered a necessary part of the electrical system in Germany since December 2018 (for planning since October 2016) – see the following article.

Since then, it has had to be installed in new buildings. For older buildings, surge protection is not mandatory. Nevertheless, it is highly advisable to have a
Surge protection. This is because today’s households use a large number of high-quality electrical devices that are connected to the power grid, such as televisions, stoves, routers/telephone systems.

Almost all devices contain electronics that can easily break in the event of overvoltages.

In conventional residential buildings, the installation of a lightning protection system is not mandatory. Then it is the choice of the owner.The decisive factor is the need for security. As an example, I would like to cite the car, in which a large number of protective devices are now available as standard or optionally installed.

• For many, the worst event is a collision. These people attach importance to airbags. They may even allow more airbags to be installed than are provided for as standard.
• Another group of people has problems with parking and is therefore calling for an extended parking aid with sensors and camera.

The user can use the various protective devices and combine them with each other. The same applies to lightning protection:

• A person is terribly afraid of the consequences of a direct lightning strike (fire, explosion); this is where external lightning protection helps.
• Another person has a high-quality hi-fi system or has spent many hours installing special computer programs – in this case, internal lightning protection including surge protection is advisable.
• Others want all-round protection. This is achieved by a lightning protection system consisting of the outer lightning protection and the inner lightning protection including surge protection.
• In any case, surge protection should be installed – this is mandatory for new buildings in Germany from October 2016.

These considerations apply to both homeowners and tenants, although the scope of influence for a tenant is naturally limited. They can only implement measures that are possible within their own living space.

Who carries out the installation? How much does it cost?

In the power grid, lightning arresters (SPD type 1) are usually used in the main distribution (meter cabinet). This means that the entire downstream system is roughly protected.

Surge arresters (SPD type 2) are also installed in the electrical distribution cabinet. Modern combination arresters are often used in which lightning current and surge arresters are already integrated. These cost approximately. 800 euros, a surge protector alone is for about 250 euros. SPDs Type 1 and Type 2 are installed by a qualified electrician.

Special surge arresters for sensitive electronic devices (SPD type 3) are usually devices that are plugged into a socket (socket with earthing connection); see question below.
In principle, anyone can buy and install these protective devices.

If all metal cables are grounded, namely at the entrance to the building, no overvoltage can enter the house. However, the power line, which is energised, cannot simply be “grounded” because then a short circuit is created and the mains voltage in the building collapses. For these “active” conductors, there are surge protection devices that perform short-term grounding in the event of an overvoltage and otherwise allow the line to operate properly.

By the way, this connection of all metal cables with each other and with the earth is called lightning protection equipotential bonding.

Up to 64 MSR12-UC, FWG14MS or FWS61-24V DC evaluation units can be connected to the weather data multisensor in order to evaluate a WMS multiple times.

With the MSR12-UC, switching commands can be generated directly via threshold values. This allows shading systems, for example, to be controlled with our EGS12 and EGS61 group switches. It can also be used for other applications, such as outdoor lighting controlled by the twilight.

With the FWG14MS or FWS61-24C DC, the data can be transmitted directly to actuators from the series 14 and 71. The weather data for shading control, for example, is then taken into account in the actuators depending on the application. For more complex solutions, the weather data can be visualised in controllers and linked to logics.

You can find the installation instructions in our instruction manual.

A power supply unit WNT15- 24VDC/24W or WNT61-24VDC/10W is required for the power supply including heating of the rain sensor
