Content of communication object
Option: Lamp fault
Ballast fault
Lamp or ballast fault
This parameter determines the equipment fault, which is provided on the enabled communication
object.

Lamp fault: A communication object Lamp fault is enabled. Using this communication object, it
is possible to transfer information on whether a lamp has failed in the lighting group on the
KNX. Should there be a fault, the communication object Ballast fault is written with a 1 and sent
on the KNX depending on the parameterization set beforehand.

Ballast fault: A communication object Ballast fault is enabled. Using this communication object,
it is possible to transfer information on whether a ballast in the lighting group has failed on the
KNX. Should there be a fault, the communication object Lamp fault is written with a 1 and sent
on the KNX depending on the parameterization set beforehand.

Lamp or ballast fault: A communication object Lamp fault or Ballast fault is enabled. Using this
communication object, it is possible to transfer information on the KNX relating to a lamp failure
or a ballast failure in the lighting group.
Note
In order to detect a ballast fault correctly, the function Detect devices must have triggered in the
DALI Light Controller. With this function, the DLR/S notes the exact number of DALI devices and
the DALI address of the individual DALI devices currently connected to the DLR/S for reference
purposes. If the determined number of DALI devices does not correspond to the referenced
number of devices or if a DALI address has disappeared, this is evaluated as a ballast fault and
displayed on the KNX using the communication object, according to the sending
parameterization.
The Detect devices function can be triggered either via the communication object Detect devices
or by pressing the S button when in manual mode. Alternatively, this function can also be
performed during the DALI group assignment phase in the Software Tool.
