KEY FEATURES
The Pharos RIO D (Remote Input Output DALI) device provides a
convenient and scalable way to control DALI fixtures and ballasts from Pharos
Controllers. 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 a Pharos Controller over an Ethernet
network.
The RIO D is Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) powered, with a rugged
DIN-rail mounting enclosure and install-friendly connectors. A DALI bus can
support up to 64 devices, and the RIO D can also be used for ballast
configuration and site commissioning. DALI Emergency ballasts are also
supported, with the ability to schedule automatic Function and Duration tests.
Remote Devices allow the fully scalable Pharos system to be
tailored to the needs of each individual project. Multiple Pharos Controllers
can be used together with up to 200 Remote Devices and will synchronise
automatically. Pharos Controllers are programmed using the free Pharos Designer
2 software.
FEATURES:
DALI CONTROL
Control up to 64 DALI devices from each RIO D, with support
for commissioning with DALI discovery and configuration commands. Pharos
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 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
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 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 software.
DALI TRIGGERING
Pharos can also integrate with an existing DALI installation
by listening in to DALI control messages sent by another control system or a
DALI wall panel and using these as triggers for actions within the Pharos
system.
PHAROS TRIGGER
Timing is everything. Whatever the stimulus, Pharos Trigger
can handle it. You can control your lighting with responsive, reactive
software. Pharos Trigger is a rules engine that uses conditional logic and a
broad range of interfaces and protocols. Send and receive any command, to and
from any system. Conditional logic is supported, along with a powerful built-in
scripting language.
POE POWERED
As a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) device, the RIO can be placed
at any remote location and only needs a single Cat5 cable that provides both
power and data.
INSTALLER FRIENDLY
Made for permanent installation, with installer-friendly
0.200” (5.08mm) plug-in rising clamp terminals, a rugged, compact enclosure,
and easy DIN rail mounting.
PHAROS DESIGNER
Programmed and configured using the free Pharos Designer 2
software – available for Windows or Mac OS X – with upload over Ethernet or
USB.
NETWORK
Works with any Pharos Controller and links to it using
standard protocols over an Ethernet network.
FIRMWARE
Microprocessor-based system supports firmware updates via
the network from Designer software or the web interface.
5 YEAR WARRANTY
Designed and manufactured in the UK, with quality and
reliability our top priority.
