LIDA-D – DALI Relay Controller
Description
LIDA-D – DALI relay controller
Overview
The LIDA-D is expertly designed to offer versatile control of relays for switched loads such as contactor control, pumps, non-dim lighting and more. This device distinguishes itself by its capability to manage either one or two ceiling fans, or alternatively, between one and four relays/contactors.
Installation of the LIDA-D necessitates professional handling by qualified electricians as it is capable of switching mains voltages. The device operates on a DC input, with a flexible power supply requirement ranging from 8 to 40VDC and a minimum current of 50mA. For scenarios where the LIDA-D is directly powering loads (of up to 57W @ 240VAC), a more robust supply of 1.2A for 240mA loads is recommended, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted operation.
Features
- Versatile Control Options: Engineered for flexibility, the LIDA-D allows switched loads to be controlled by a DALI network
- Flexibility: Easy way to add mechanical ventilation, non-dim lighting to a DALI line … just about anything that can be switched. Direct loads up to 57W @240VAC, or interpose relays for larger loads. DC can also be switched.
