  • Digital addressable electronic ballast and control unit
    Publication number: 20040217718
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a load control device, such as a DALI ballast, having an infrared receiver. The load control device resides on a digital communications link and receives infrared commands via a lightpipe. The commands are input to a microprocessor to set an address of the load control device. Addressing the load control device in this manner allows plural control devices residing on a single communications link to be addressed by the same short address. The control devices may be removed and replaced, and the short address and zone assignments of the removed devices may be reassigned to the replacement devices via infrared communication. The load control device may be placed into various modes (e.g., a programming mode or addressing mode) via commands received over the infrared receiver.
