Overview  |  Benefits

Benefits of both DEXAL® and Tunable White

System working with Casambi Controller
Pairing the OPTOTRONIC® LED Driver with DEXAL Technology with a Casambi Bluetooth DALI Controller gives the user
complete control over a lighting fixture from the palm of their hand. The Casambi Bluetooth DALI Controller acts as a
connected node for wireless control of the driver and fixture. The Casambi controller is powered directly from the driver’s
integrated DALI bus power supply and additional DALI sensors can be integrated into the system for presence detection or
daylight harvesting applications. Standard OTi DEXAL and OTi Tunable White drivers are fully compatible with the Casambi
controller and ready for easy installation using the Casambi smartphone application.

1. Output current below 450mA is in PWM (not applicable for 85W).
2. T
 he default mode for the interface is DEXAL. This combines the power and communication on the single bus. In this mode, the polarity of the interface is
sensitive. For applications employing DALI systems (wired or wireless), the power supply on the interface can be turned off via the programming software.
This makes the interface non-polarized. For specific compatibility questions, please contact your OSRAM Digital Lighting Systems representative.
3. The minimum output current for both LED drivers is 6mA.

Key application notes

— DEXAL® port is polarity sensitive
— Driver will respond to DALI Type 8 commands when programmed mode is "Enable TW"

— Driver will respond to DALI Type 6 commands when programmed mode is default 2-Channel Mode

System configuration
For small application spaces, the driver can be used in
DEXAL mode, which will provide power to the DALI bus
and the wallstation. However, the number of drivers that
can be controlled with a single wallstation is four.
This is because each DEXAL driver feeds 60mA into the
DALI bus and as per the DALI standard, DALI bus current
cannot exceed 250mA.

Programming with OSRAM Tunable White Light Engine

When using the OSRAM TW driver with an OSRAM TW Light Engine, use the Enable TW setting on the
OT Programmer interface.

Step 1: To enable Tunable White mode on the driver, Step 2: Select the OSRAM LED board NAED code from
Select Enable TW in the OT Programmer. the drop down list.

Step 3: Enter the Max Lumens and Number of LED
Boards needed for the luminaire. The program will
automatically calculate the appropriate current level
based on the lumen value entered.
Step 4: Click “Program” button to start programming the
driver. A new window “Auto Programming” prompts with
the status of programming. If the LED driver is already
connected, a window message prompts “LED driver is
programmed successfully”. If the LED driver is not
connected, a window message prompts “Waiting for
LED driver”.

If the lumens and number of LED boards combination is

outside the maximum specifications of the driver and/or
LED board, an error message will be displayed.

Programming using Custom Light Engine (CLE)
The OSRAM Tunable White System can offer a customizable
solution. It can be interchanged with third-party light engine
components. Additional programming is required to configure
the driver’s output current levels at color temperature set
points.
If using a non-OSRAM LED board, Enable Custom LE and
enter CCT (K) set points ranging between the min and max
CCT specification of the LED board.
At each CCT set point, forward current for Cool White (CW)
and Warm White (WW) LEDs should be determined by
OEM for custom Light Engine board. Enter the current
values into Current WW (mA) and Current CW (mA) table
for each CCT set point.
Setting equidistance set points is recommended. At least
four CCT points are needed, so that the curve is accurately
following the Black Body Curve. Two additional CCT points
can be added for even more accuracy.
