Cause

• The maximum load For example, dimmers, relay units, ballasts etc. Receives messages from control devices and performs the relevant action e.g. sets the lighting it controls to the relevant level. Some control may be possible at the device itself. Also known as Control Gear or LIU, see entries for both. for the subnet A subnet is a part of a router. There are two or more subnets on each router. The subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated, based on network configuration. By organising hosts into logical groups and joining them, subnetting, network security and performance can be improved. may have been exceeded.

Solution

• Transfer loads onto the other DALI Stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. Standardised digital protocol for lighting control, allowing communication between control devices and LIUs (control gear). subnet, if space available

• Install an additional 910 DIGIDIM Router and transfer some of the loads to the new DIGIDIM Helvar’s range of products based on the DALI standard. The DIGIDIM range is composed of a series of controllers and lamp interface units that are designed to communicate using DALI commands. 910 Router.
