Mounting

Install the device in a suitable installation box.

Connect the AC mains supply (brown/blue wire), as well as the DALI data lines (grey screw terminal).


Commissioning

In delivery state, pairing mode will be active after the power supply has been established. This is indicated by the status LED flashing red/green/orange.

Then follow the pairing procedure on the Air Interface.

To activate the pairing mode manually, switch off the power for 10 seconds, then switch it back on. If no connection to a Miniserver can be established for two minutes, then pairing mode is activated for 30 minutes.


Pairing DALI Devices

To search for DALI devices, first click on the DALI Air in Loxone Config, and then activate DALI search:

It will then search for devices and display the discovered devices. By clicking the right arrow, selected devices are added to the programming.

After that, the added devices are available in the periphery tree, and can be used on the programming page:


DALI Broadcast

Using a DALI broadcast, you can effortlessly control all compatible DALI bus devices at once, without the need for individual pairing or programming. To enable this feature, simply activate the Broadcast Application in the DALI Air settings.

Properties

Summary Description Default Value
Monitor online status When selected, you will be notified via System Status or the Mailer if the device is no longer available or goes offline. -
Disable Repeater functionality Disable repeater functionality of this Air device.

Loxone Air is based on mesh technology. Any air device connected to the power supply can repeat packets from other Air devices, thus extending the range and stability of the overall system.
In large systems with a large number of air devices in a confined space, the communication between the air devices can lead to a very high radio channel utilization. A reliable accessibility of the air devices can not be guaranteed. Disabling repeater functionality on individual Air devices can help.

Do not disable this function recklessly as this may affect the range and stability of the system.
