What is involved in commissioning or starting up a DALI system?
Digital control requires programming when centralized systems are used, and all systems on-site field commissioning, which should be factored into the design specification so that the appropriate party is aware and can bid on this portion of the installation. During the start-up phase, a database of ballast addresses, with physical locations and the control device that operates them, needs to be created and then maintained when the layout of the space changes. It may be advisable to involve the client’s IT staff in the creation and maintenance of the database. See this site’s Commissioning page for more information.
