DALI-2 40-series Switch Input – 4 Gang

A switch input unit that can utilise up to 4 Clipsal 40-series 5041NMS, allowing use in the RAPIX Lighting Control System or with other DALI-2 compliant Application Controllers.

For the added resilience of RAPIX, the switch input unit allows 40-series push buttons to act as RAPIX DALI-2 Application Controllers, performing switching, dimming, timing, group control, scene control and similar functions.

DALI System Commissioning

This product is set up using any DALI-2 commissioning software that supports DALI-2 Control Device instance types 1 (push buttons) and feature type 32 (feedback). For the higher resilience of RAPIX and to use the built-in Application Controller, the free RAPIX Addressing or RAPIX Integrator software should be used.

DALI-2 Instances

All instances are always present, irrespective of whether a Clipsal 5041NMS is physically connected or not. If an input has nothing connected, then that instance is present but has no effect.

This product range also supports DALI-2 Feature Type 32 (Feedback on Instance Level) for indicator control. Each instance can have the red or blue indicator selected according to configuration settings and DALI-2 commands
