2.System Topology Diagram

The SafeLUX system consists of various components. The core components include SLX-HT, SLX-GW-DL/C2, SLX-GW/S-DL/C2, and various types of lamps.

SLX-HT is the central control host of the entire system, SLX-GW-DL/C2 is a DALI master converter with network communication, and SLX-GW/S-DL/C2 is a DALI sub converter with RS485 communication.

SLX-HT is equipped with network and RS485 interfaces. It can connect to the SLX-GW-DL/C2 DALI master converter via the network interface, or to the SLX-GW/S-DL/C2 DALI sub converter via the RS485 bus. Lamps are connected to their respective converters.

SLX-CR is a cabinet-type central control unit, which internally consists of SLX-HT, a configurable number of SLX-GW/S-DL/C2, a touch screen, as well as necessary ACB , RCD and AC-DC power supplies.

3.Hardware Connection Step-by-Step Instructions

3.1 Host Installation (SLX-HT or SLX-CR)

Refer to 4.1 SLX-HT user manual -> 4. Installation Guide.

or

Refer to 4.4 SLX-CR user manual -> 4. Installation Guide.

:warning:No power-on required

3.2 Master Converter Installation(If there is a connection requirement)

Refer to 4.2 SLX-GW01-DL/C2 user manual -> 4. Installation Guide.

:warning:No power-on required

3.3 Sub Converter Installation(If there is a connection requirement)

Refer to 4.3 SLX-GW_S-DL_C2 user manual -> 4. Installation Guide.

:warning:No power-on required

3.4 Lamp Installation

Refer to the lamp's installation manual.

:warning:No power-on required

3.5 Power On

Power on all devices.

3.6 Master Converter Check

1. Check if each indicator light shows green. If any red light is flashing, refer to the user manual for troubleshooting and problem localization.

   :warning:Focus on checking the status of the power indicator and network indicator.

2. Click the function button to check if the indicator lights of all connected DALI lamps flash and change. If there is no change, it indicates that the DALI wiring of the corresponding lamps is not properly connected.

3. If there are sub converters under the RS485 bus, while performing Step 2, also check whether the indicator light status of the DALI lamps connected to the sub converters will flash and change.

3.7 Sub Converter Check

• Check if each indicator light shows green. If any red light is flashing, refer to the user manual for troubleshooting and problem localization.

  :warning:Focus on checking whether the network status is abnormal. (Since the host requires a certain amount of time to start up, please check 2 minutes after power-on to verify whether the network connection between the master converter and the host is correct.)

• Click the function button to check if the indicator lights of all connected DALI lamps flash and change. If there is no change, it indicates that the DALI wiring of the corresponding lamps is not properly connected.

3.8 Host Check

1. Check the power indicator light.

2. If a display is connected, check whether it displays normally. If a touch display is connected, verify whether the touch function works properly.

3. If a network cable is connected, after logging into the system, check whether the IP address displayed at the bottom of the home page is correctly assigned.

4. If there are sub converters under the RS485 bus, while performing Step 2, also check whether the indicator light status of the DALI lamps connected to the sub converters will flash and change.
