What is the Steinel REL5A DALI-2?

The REL5A DALI-2 is a DALI-2 relay actuator used for switching lighting loads in a DALI system. It supports broadcast, group, and scene control.

What is the switching capacity of the REL5A?

The relay can switch loads up to 5 A resistive at 230 V AC.

Does this device require a separate power supply?

No, it is powered via the DALI bus (16 V DC). No external power supply is needed.

Can the REL5A be used for dimming?

No, the REL5A is a switching relay only. For dimming, use a Steinel DALI dimmer.

How do I connect the REL5A?

Connect the DALI bus to the DA terminals and the load to the L (line) and out terminals. Follow the wiring diagram in the manual.

Is the REL5A compatible with other DALI-2 controllers?

Yes, it is fully DALI-2 compliant and works with any DALI-2 certified controller.

What is the operating temperature range?

The device operates from -20 °C to +45 °C. Do not exceed these limits.

How do I address the relay in the DALI system?

Addressing is done automatically via the DALI controller or manually using a programming tool. Refer to the DALI system manual.

Can I install this relay myself?

Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance.

What should I do if the relay does not switch?

Check the DALI bus connection, verify the addressing, and ensure the load is within the 5 A rating. Also inspect the mains wiring.
