DALI meets basicDIM Wireless – Tridonic has added three wireless modules to its basicDIM Wireless range

Tridonic is linking the wired DALI solutions with its Casambi Bluetooth-based basicDIM Wireless (bDW) system using basicDIM Wireless modules. This means that professional DALI installations can be expanded with a high degree of flexibility as there is no need for additional cabling or construction work.

One bDW module in each installation is used as a translator between DALI and Bluetooth. Once installed, the components connected to the wireless system via the wireless modules are handled and indicated in the same way as wired DALI components. Integration in a building management system (BMS) is also possible. Expanding an installation with basicDIM Wireless makes installation much easier and reduces the amount of material required. At the same time, the lighting system itself is much more flexible. The lighting concepts can be adapted to new conditions and requirements in just a few simple steps.

Three new modules for ultimate flexibility

Tridonic has developed three new wireless modules for different applications:

  1. With an internal DALI bus power supply of 10 mA and a compact design, the new active G2 basicDIM Wireless module is suitable for installation in luminaires or integration in a flush-mounted box. Existing or new luminaires and switches can be networked effortlessly without cabling.
  2. The new G2 basicDIM Wireless passive module without an internal bus power supply has a compact design and can be easily integrated in a flush-mounted box or a luminaire. It just needs an extra component to supply power. In combination with DALI-2 application controllers such as the Tridonic sceneCOM S, the Tridonic sceneCOM evo DA2 or any other controller with an internal power supply, the passive module acts as the link between the wired DALI installation and the wireless basicDIM Wireless.
  3. The active SR basicDIM Wireless module with a bus power supply of 50 mA can be equipped with strain relief (available separately), making it easier to install in a suspended ceiling. No special cabling is required, saving time, and reducing installation costs.

Typical application for bDW modules: wireless emergency and safety lighting

With its new wireless module, Tridonic can provide a compliant wireless emergency and safety lighting system. With basicDIM Wireless as the backbone, wireless connectivity can be provided for emergency and safety luminaires via a fail-safe mesh network without any additional cabling or structural changes. The system is controlled by one or more sceneCOM evo DA2 controllers. In this case, the G2 basicDIM Wireless passive module acts as a gateway. Their compact form makes them easy to integrate in emergency and safety luminaires.
