Note. When mounting the device in boards and ca-

binets it shall be provided the necessary ventilation

so that the temperature can be kept within the ope-

rating range of the device.

Insert the mounting support in the appropriate shaped

profile of the back side of the device, then hook the teeth

to the profile guide starting from the bottom. Finally, push

the upper part towards the guide for final coupling.

Setup and installation

The steps for installing the device are as follows:

• connect the loads to the "LED OUT" output terminals

of the device;

• for the EK-GD2-DL-1-LV model, connect the local com-

mand to the "PUSH" input if you want to use the "stand-

alone" mode;

• connect the DALI bus to the related DA terminal blocks;

• connect the 12/48 Vdc power supply to the terminal

blocks "DC IN" of the device.

DALI bus line and command connection

The connection to the DALI bus network and the local

commands is done via the screw terminal, located on the

front of the device in the upper part.

For the EK-GD2-DL-1-LV device, the length of the con-

nection cables between the local commands (if available)

and the product must be less than 10m; the cables must

be correctly dimensioned and they should be isolated

from every wiring or parts at voltage not SELV. Use dou-

ble insulated shielded and twisted cables.

The length and type of the connection cables to the DALI

bus must be compliant with the protocol specification and

the present regulations and they should be isolated from

every wiring or parts at voltage not SELV. Use double in-

sulated shielded and twisted cables.

INSTALLATION TECHNICAL NOTES

• Installation and maintenance must be

performed only if the power supply has

been turned off.

• Installation and maintenance must only

be performed by qualified personnel in

compliance with current regulations.

• The product must be installed insi-

de an electrical panel protected against

overvoltages.

• The product must be installed in a verti-

cal position with the front / label facing

the front or in a horizontal position with

the front / label facing upwards. Other

product installation positions are not al-

lowed. The bottom position with the front

panel / label facing down is not allowed.

• Keep separated the circuits at 230V and

the circuits not SELV from circuits to low

voltage (SELV) and from any connection

with this product. It is absolutely forbid-

den to connect, for any reason whatsoe-

ver, directly or indirectly, the 230V mains

voltage to the bus or to other parts of the

circuit.

All the devices and the control signal connected to the

DALI bus and to the local command (where available)

must be SELV (the devices connected must be SELV or

supply a SELV signal).

Installation scheme for EK-GD2-DL-1-LV

Installation scheme for EK-GD2-DL-2-LV

All the devices and the control signal connected to the

DALI bus and to the local command (where available)

must be SELV (the devices connected must be SELV or

supply a SELV signal).

Characteristics of the DALI terminal block

• Screw tightening of the conductors

• Command and bus wiring: 1.5 mm

stranded – 16 - 17 AWG

• Conductor stripping recommended: 5.0 - 6.0 mm

• Maximum length of the connection between dimmer-

driver and control device < 10 m

• Length of bus connection cables < 10 m

Connection of power supply and LEDs

For the power supply use SELV power suppliers with li-

mited current, short circuit protection only and the power

must be correctly dimensioned. In case of usage of a po-

wer supplier with ground terminals, all points of the pro-

tective earth (PE = Protection Earth) must be connected

to a valid and certified protection earth.
