Pharos Designer RIO D

Description

Pharos Designer RIO D (Remote Input Output DALI) device provides a convenient and scalable way to control DALI fixtures and ballasts from a Pharos Designer control system.

Flexibility built-in

Each RIO D supports a single DALI bus, which can be used as an output for control and as an input for triggering. Each device can be placed where it is needed and connected to the Pharos Designer controllers over an Ethernet network

DALI Control

Control up to 64 DALI devices from each RIO D, with support for commissioning with DALI discovery and configuration commands. Designer includes a convenient drag-and-drop interface for DALI patching and timeline programming. Multiple RIO D units can be used together as part of a single Pharos Designer system to provide distributed DALI control over an Ethernet network.

Emergency Lighting

DALI Ballasts for emergency lighting have special requirements for regular testing, error detection and fault reporting. Pharos Designer supports this with the ability to schedule automatic Function and Duration tests, automatic querying for battery level and lamp hours, and a full test result and error reporting web page.

Scalable

Up to 200 Remote Devices can be combined with one or more Pharos Designer controllers on the same network to build the ideal system for your installation. Each Remote Device is easily addressed using a convenient thumb wheel. Whether one controller or many, it’s all easily programmed using our Designer 2 software.
