Casambi DALI Products

Seamlessly integrate DALI devices into your Casambi Mesh using CBU-DCS, CBU-A2D and CBU-ASD units. This integration enables you to control DALI-compatible lighting fixtures using the Casambi app or other Casambi-compatible control interfaces. Or go broader with Salvador, CBU-DCS or Casambi-DALI Gateway:

Salvador

Salvador seamlessly integrates wired DALI drivers into the Casambi system, with a single unit capable of controlling up to 64 DALI drivers. DALI luminaires, when incorporated, will appear in the Casambi network as virtual luminaires. Notably, this product supports industry standards such as DALI D4i, DALI DT6, and DALI DT8. Additionally, Salvador features an integrated power supply, an internal Real-time clock (RTC) with backup energy storage, and cable strain relief to facilitate a smooth installation process.

CBU-DCS

The CBU-DCS, a Casambi-enabled DALI controller, draws power directly from a DALI bus and does not require a separate power supply. This versatile device supports integration with DALI sensors for functions such as presence detection or daylight harvesting. Additionally, it is configurable to function as a Casambi DALI translator, enhancing its adaptability for various applications. Different Casambi-enabled products can be used from a simple one-luminaire direct control to a complete and full-featured light control system where up to 250 units can automatically form an intelligent mesh network.

Casambi DALI Translator

The CBU-DCS can be utilized with a Casambi DALI translator profile to integrate Casambi wireless networks into a wired DALI system. The Casambi DALI translator remains invisible to the DALI system, eliminating the need for a DALI address. It has the capacity to support 64 individual DALI addresses or 249 in broadcast mode. This approach enables the use of a DALI control system with non-DALI devices; Casambi-enabled devices seamlessly appear as standard DALI devices in the DALI system. Casambi-enabled luminaires do not require DALI capabilities, and Casambi-enabled switches & sensors are recognized as DALI-2 devices. Moreover, this configuration allows for the wireless extension of a DALI system beyond the maximum 300m DALI wiring distance. The Casambi DALI translator also extends its support to DT6 and DT8.
