ADDICT - Advanced DALI and DMX512 Installation and Configuration Tool

The ADDICT is a revolutionary approach to commissioning and testing DALI systems that could well pay for itself on just one project.

For more information, check out the following documentation for the two ADDICT models:

ADDICT-sys v2

ADDICT-eco

The ADDICT-sys vs ADDICT-eco

Installers of DALI equipment can choose a streamlined version of the ADDICT (the -eco model) or, for OEMs and system integrators, the latest version of the full-blown ADDICT-sys offers various extra features including sniffing, capturing and PC communications.

The ADDICT-sys can also be used wirelessly with the optional radio modems with a range of up to 900m indoors and 22km outdoors. Don't run the risk of tripping someone with trailing cables while commissioning - go wireless and save time and money. For more information, see the wireless datasheet listed above.

Some of the product's features

ADDICT universal lead set

Set and test all standard DALI configurations on the fly.
Bonus DMX512 testing, chasing and sniffing (-sys model only).
Configuration of devices via the Remote Device Management (RDM) protocol (-sys model only).
Portable, rugged and lightweight (think multimeter!).
Automatic detection and indication of power supply on the DALI line and automatic powering of the DALI line if no power supply detected.
New models are backwards-compatible where possible.
All ADDICTs use two 4mm banana jacks with retractable shields for DALI.
